  • Grief Is A Journey Not a Prozac Deficiency

    26/03/2014 Duração: 05min

      Dr Woods asks the question, since when did a normal response require an antidepressant? She questions why people are put on antidepressants for grief. According to the Mayo Clinic, Prozac and other SSRI'S are used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bulimia nervosa, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and panic disorder. Nowhere does it say Prozac or any antidepressant of any kind is used to treat grief. That is because grief is not a pathology, and it certainly is not a medical condition. Grief isn't something that people just get over. Grief is a part of life.Grief is missing someone we once loved who is no longer here with us. Grief just means we loved. Love does not require medications with horrid side effects. Grief requires our attention that is because it is a process, a journey.

  • You Can Become Stronger Than Your Injury

    21/02/2014 Duração: 04min

    Dr Woods talks about emotional injuries today and suggests that these injuries should not define us. It is important to recognize it happened, and she even suggests that  maybe it is there to awaken us, to inform us, to remind us how strong we have the potential to be. She believes pain gives us the possibilities to living in peace.  Life is the evolution of consciousness. When we become more conscious, we begin to realize how attached we are to our injury, our emotional hurt or pain. By staying in the present with our pain and healing it rather than using it as a crutch, we become stronger and more accountable in our life. You don't need to be your pain and emotional injury, you can be the strength that comes from healing it and letting it go by recycling it for the greater good.   Septicradio.com

  • Faith Whether we Like it or Not

    12/02/2014 Duração: 06min

    Dr Tyler Woods talks about faith. She explains that losing faith isn’t about religion as much as just being able to trust the process in the very moment. Sometimes, all we can do is just be in that moment and have faith that the next breath will come and that is not losing faith as much as recognizing that we all still have faith. She explains how looking at faith from a “religionless” point of view can be interesting.  She states that faith is not about  God as much as faith is in the universe and trusting it’s process. Faith should come from within. She explain that life happens and when we begin to understand to understand that, we are able to breathe deeper and more fully and trust. Learn a little about faith whether we like it or not.

  • Kindness Not Prozac

    19/11/2013 Duração: 08min

    Dr. Woods explores kindness. She asks, what is kindness? The dictionary would say it is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.  Kindness is to live to one’s essence to live in touch with our very soul. I think kindness is a way of being, a way of acting and clearly a way of responding. Kindness is the universal language we all know it. All of us have experienced random acts of kindness, and we all love it no matter how grumpy and angry you are. Kindness is love in action, and whether you are kind or not, learn the acts of kindness to all, because it is the greatest healer of all time. Kindness is the original antidepressant. You see , when you receive an act of kindness or when you see kindness, or when you offer kindness, the serotonin in your brain increases.  That is what antidepressants do. So why take harmful medications that only work for 50% of the people, when you can just live a life incorporating kindness? In fact, Scientific studies show that there is a strong link between grati

  • Vitamine D For Mental Health

    12/11/2013 Duração: 08min

    Vitamin D, aka the sunshine vitamin because the sun itself has a strong source of vitamin D. An estimated one billion people worldwide have vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. Vitamin D as a hormone assists with the absorption of calcium, helping to build strong bones, teeth and muscles. Mental health is one of many types of ailments connected to vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D's effect on mental health extends beyond depression. Eating foods high in D such as fish like Pickled Herring , salmon, Sardines, Oysters,  Caviar, Fortified cereals, Fortified Tofu, Dairy products are already high in calcium, eggs, avocados, almonds, green leafy vegetables and mushrooms. More studies are showing more and more that depression is not a Prozac deficiency rather a diet that lacks the needed vitamins and minerals we need for the brain to fully function.

  • Optimism Best Medicine

    08/01/2013 Duração: 07min

    Today Tyler Woods talks about a great natural remedy for depression, anxiety, and hopelessness. You cannot buy it at a drug store, you doctor cannot prescribe it to you. It does not come in a pill or a bottle and your insurance company does not cover it. It is called optimism. Dr Woods knows that optimism is the tendency to believe, expect or hope that things will turn out well. Even if something bad happens, like the loss of a job or money, an optimist sees the silver lining. Everything is a possibility and nothing is a crisis. A person is optimistic believes everything happens for a reason and trusts the process. The emerging field of positive psychology studies the positive impact that optimism has on mental health. Other research shows that optimism may be good for my physical health too—optimists are sick less and live longer than pessimists. Apparently, a positive outlook on life strengthens the immune system (and the body's defenses against illness. Being an optimist or a pessimist boils down to th

  • Family Dysfunction

    16/10/2012 Duração: 07min

    In today's show we try to understand what family dysfunction is. Text books have been written about it, however in a quick nutshell, family dysfunction is a family where there is an abundance of conflict, but not just conflict but where these conflicts create misbehavior. These behaviors can turn into abuse, addictions, such as substance abuse, alcohol, drugs, prescribed medication, and very often an untreated mental illness. Dysfunctional families often live with lies, anger and confusion. There is often dysfunction in a family, however too much dysfunction turns into problems that can have a profound impact on family members. In a functional or healthy family, you will find respect between all the family members. treat the children with respect and the children treat the parents with respect. In a dysfunctional family respect is hardly ever found. As you grow older and more independent, you begin to realize the dysfunctional tendencies of the family no longer conducive to your lifestyle. By now, you might

    Do you remember how you felt when life was simple? Well the truth is truth is life still is easy.  It always will be.  The only difference is we are older, and the older we get, the more we complicate things for ourselves. You see, when we were young we saw the world through simple, hopeful eyes.  We knew what we wanted and we went for it...it was simple.   We ate when we were hungry, drank when we were thirsty, and slept when we were tired. As we got older life became more complicated-we have jobs, family, friends, relationships, debt, worry, stress, lack of communication, and everything begins to stack up. The problem is we complicated life as we got older and when that happens we feel trapped, we feel like there is no way out, but I can tell you there are so many ways to make your life simple, and today i am going to give you a handful of ideas.

  • Reduce Stress and Anxiety by not What ifing

    30/08/2012 Duração: 05min

    Today Dr Tyler Woods talks the what if's in our live and how it affects us as well as ways to work around it. She realizes we say what if a great deal. What if I lose my job, what if the other shoes falls, what if I am not always happy, what if my spouse isn't always happy,  what if they leave me, what if I can't pay rent, what if...? Dr Woods says that more people seem to be preoccupied with “what ifs” and worst-case scenarios than the positives in life. What ifs become worries and worry's becomes problems and these problems can lead to unrelenting doubts and fears and can be paralyzing. They can sap your emotional energy, send your anxiety levels soaring, and interfere with your daily life. When you do the what if's, you discredit your own ability to handle life’s problems, assuming you’ll fall apart at the first sign of trouble. These irrational, pessimistic attitudes is not healthy for you. Join Dr. Woods as she talks about chronic worrying or the constant what if as she believes it is a mental habit tha

  • Stop It

    09/03/2012 Duração: 09min

    Why do we do things that are not good for us? Some say it is human nature, others say it is habit but no matter what you call it, it can be stopped by using the simple skill and two words that are STOP IT. Truth is the basic life skill called "stopping it" isn’t typically taught in families, schools, businesses, or at church so we never think just to stop the negative self talk. The good news is that stopping it doesn't have to be filled with intense emotion, tearful confessions, and drama. It doesn't have to cost a fortune or require the strength of an super hero . And best of all, it doesn’t have to involve suffering and It's called simply learning to art of saying STOP IT.

  • Blame Game

    10/02/2012 Duração: 10min

    So today I want to talk about the BLAME GAME. Recently I have had several wonderful opportunities of people blaming others for their behaviors. Family members blaming family members, spouses blaming spouses, and I knew a person who lacked complete compassion and understanding but he blamed the people who had compassion and understanding because of his lack of it. Each time I witness blame, I feel good about who I am because I know that taking responsibility and not blaming others mean I responsibility for my actions. It means we are accountable, and accountability is the signature of self. I love the reminders that life gives me and it keeps me on my toes and is an ever reminder that I need to take responsibility for myself, my feelings and my actions. Read the blog entry Blame Game.
