Does the emotion someone experiences immediately preceding an episode of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) influence how painful that episode of self-harm feels? In this episode, Michelle Hiner, MS, a Clinical Psychology PhD student in the Emotion and Psychopathology (EmP) Lab at Rutgers University in New Jersey talks about how individuals who self-harm after experiencing high arousal negative emotions (HANEs), like anger, experience pain differently than those who self-injure after experiencing low arousal negative emotions (LANEs), like sadness and dissociation. Connect with Michelle on LinkedIn here, and learn more about the Emotion and Psychopathology (EmP) Lab here.

According to a 2020 national survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), among 52.9 million adults with any mental illness in the United States, 46.2% received mental health services in the past year, which means more than half did not. Although there are known, effective treatments for mental disorders, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that more than 75% of people in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment.In this episode, Mallory Dobias, MA, a Clinical Psychology PhD student at Stony Brook University in New York discusses an online, brief single-session intervention for nonsuicidal self-injury and self-harm, allowing for more accessible treatment options.You can find Mallory's open access pre-print paper on PsyArXiv at https://psyarxiv.com/jprcg and its peer-reviewed final publication in the journal Behaviour Research and Therapy by clicking here.

“The Support More initiative is a critically important communication initiative that focuses on providing guidance for how respond to disclosures of relationship violence or sexual assault or sexual misconduct on campus, and it helps our faculty, staff, and anyone contacted to respond to those experiences in an empathic manner. It promotes the availability of related campus resources and services,” says Michigan State University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D. “This really grows out the work of several outstanding faculty at MSU who have developed trauma-informed approaches to responding to people who've undergone one of these events.“I'm really grateful to the RVSM Expert Advisory Workgroup. Their members have been dedicated to this work, and I'm grateful to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Division of Victim Services for support of this work through a Victims of Crime Act grant award. You can learn much more about this at the Support More MSU website. Again, it's an important program, and I encourage you to go to the site because there are ways in which you can help make a difference in this important problem.”Dr. Katie Gregory is a faculty member in the Psychology Department and co-director of the Support More project at MSU. Gregory concurs with President Stanley that Support More is about changing the culture at MSU and giving Spartans the tools to make a difference.“Really what this is about is helping change the culture at MSU and about how we can give people the tools to respond when a friend or a colleague has disclosed that they've experienced relationship violence or sexual assault,” Gregory says. “We look at this in two directions. We want to support people by giving them the language to appropriately respond. If somebody's disclosed, what can you say to be supportive of that person? And we want to educate our community about the resources available to help survivors.”How does a person know they need your services?“Part of the journey of somebody who may have been assaulted is that they may not know whether they were”, continues Gregory. “They may not have a way to define what they've experienced and talking to other people is a way to help figure that out. Programs on campus include the Sexual Assault Healthcare Program, Center for Survivors, and MSU Safe Place. We also have the Employee Assistance Program and Gender and Sexuality Campus Center. Those are programs on campus where people can go to talk to somebody to figure out what's going on and to get services and help.”MSU is striving to create a trauma-informed culture and to help our community respond to survivors of relationship violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and or stalking in an informed and caring way.“Being trauma-informed means meeting people where they are,” says Lauren Wiklund, a fourth-year student in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at MSU. “It's believing what a survivor says has happened to them and meeting them there and providing them support on their terms.”Who can take advantage of the resources you offer?“The majority of the services on campus are for students, faculty, and staff,” says Gregory. “But the Sexual Assault Healthcare Program is also for the larger Greater Lansing community. People can come in if they've experienced an assault and get medical care right at the program on campus. MSU Safe Place is also a program that provides services to the Greater Lansing community.”How can one help another person who has experienced relationship violence and sexual misconduct?“The first step is just to listen and say that you are there for them and let them know they can share with you as much or as little as they want to at that point in time,” Wicklund continues. “Let them know that you believe them and you're there to support and help with whatever decision they might make or to listen as they maybe explore and talk about what happened or what they might want to do, even if they're not at the decision-making point yet.”“And we know that friends and family and even professors sometimes can be the first people who are disclosed to by somebody,” adds Gregory. “Having the right words and the right language is so key in helping people move on that trajectory of healing. It really opens that door to then talk about what else they may or may not want to do in terms of accessing services.“It is often scary to hear when somebody's experienced domestic violence or sexual assault. There are so many opportunities to be supportive. One of the things that we're trying to do with this initiative is actually show people what they can do. And we've built out a lot of materials where people can actually see examples. So we have videos on our website showing how people say supportive language. The nice thing about having all these programs on campus is that if you don't know how to support someone, you can go to a program and say, ‘I don't know what to do.' And they're there to help. This is not something that anybody should do on their own, be it having been a survivor or supporting a survivor through this process.“The great thing about this project is that we've received funding from the State of Michigan through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and their Division of Victim Services program. They have been very supportive in seeing the vision that we must change campus culture. They've been very invested in this, and they want to see it be successful.“The approach that we've taken with this is not just thinking about having people from the RVSM Workgroup be the ones who are pushing this forward. We've really worked hard to engage who we call community partners on campus. The programs that provide services to survivors are the MSU Sexual Assault Healthcare Program, Center for Survivors, MSU Safe Place, Employee Assistance Program, the Gender and Sexuality Campus Center, the Title IX Office and MSU Police.“We've had people from those programs come to meetings and provide feedback on the materials that we've created. We've asked community leadership what we may be missing. Should we be doing more? This is how we've been able to get traction and get support for this, to make sure that there are a lot of people involved.”“RVSM affects our whole community,” Wicklund adds. “It affects all of us. We want folks to know that we're here. There are a lot of resources on campus, and we're working hard to change the culture on campus so that everyone can be a part of making MSU a safer place for everybody. MSU is a big campus and there are a ton of resources. Part of Support More is letting folks know exactly what resources there are. That approach can help demystify some of that process.“Realistically, you're more likely to tell a friend or a TA or a close professor that something may have happened to you before you even get to the step of accessing those resources. We really want to provide this Support More language for those first responders, the people who you disclose to first, to not only help bridge that person on their healing journey to the campus resources, but also start that process with them with the very first thing that they say in response.”“This initiative really is focused on survivors and on the people who they're disclosing to,” says Gregory. “We want to be supportive and let survivors know they're not alone going through this and that we have a community on campus to support anyone who has experienced it and anyone who is supporting somebody who's experienced it. This is for students, faculty and staff, and the greater MSU community.“If we're successful, we are going to see the culture change. The supportmore.msu.edu website has links to all of the resources on campus, and we have a page that talks about how to support someone - what to do and what you can say to really help somebody when they've disclosed that they've experienced violence.”MSU Today airs every Sunday morning at 9:00 on WKAR News/Talk and Sunday nights at 8:00 on 760 WJR.

On today's episode of American gypC Podcast we had the pleasure of talking to Steve Lawrence about the concepts of meditative psychology. Steven is the director of The One-Pointed Mind (OPM) a workshop for educators on concepts surrounding meditative psychology and the implications they hold for optimizing human development. For the past twelve years, Steve has lived and taught in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and China. Upon deciding to become an international teacher Steve attended The College of Saint Rose, with a focus in Social Studies Education. Since then, he has acquired his master's degree in education. Steve is currently completing the Clinical Psychology PhD program at Saybrook University.

Lauderdale, Florida or Leadville, Colorado.  The Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging is the producer.  Learn more at Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging. Transcript: Cynthia Margiotta: Hello and thank you for listening to Aging with Altitude, a podcast series sponsored by the Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging that aims to highlight issues and resources that affect older adults in our community.  My name is Cynthia Margiotta and I'm here with Dr. Sheri Gibson who received her PhD in clinical psychology with an emphasis in geropsychology from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.  She's an instructor for the Psychology Department at UCCS and a faculty affiliate with the UCCS Gerontology Center. Dr Gibson serves on the editorial board for the Journal of Elder Abuse and Neglect, is chair of the Colorado Coalition for Elder Rights and Abuse Prevention, a member of the research committee for the National Adult Protective Services Association, and board member for the Colorado Culture Change Coalition.  In addition to being an advocate for elder justice, Dr Gibson has a private psychotherapy and consultation practice which includes provision of capacity evaluations, expert testimony, consultation and training.   Thank you so much for being here Doctor.   Dr. Sheri Gibson: You're so welcome. Thanks for having me, Cynthia.  Cynthia: Today's podcast theme is on mental health and aging.  My first question, is depression a normal part of aging?   Dr. Sheri Gibson: There is a wide belief that it is normal, but it's not correct.  You know our society has believed for a long time that, as we age it is certainly inherent in our aging process is the theme of loss.  That there are losses both at the individual level, where we lose friends in our personal circle as we age, and also losses in terms of our physical functioning, chronic health problems, maybe even loss to our home where we may need to downsize and possibly move to a different part of the country to be closer to our children or maybe move from our large home into a smaller place.  I think society has often believed that as those losses occur it would be reasonable to make the jump that depression would also accompany those losses. But, what we do know is that a lot of people, as they age, have developed coping mechanisms throughout their lifetime. Many older adults, by the time they reach that part of their life, which is what I like to call the third chapter of life, that they have learned to tolerate losses throughout their life and they have they have developed effective coping strategies. So, what we do find is that depression is not a part of normal aging process. That's a myth that really needs to be debunked in our society so that we don't associate older people with depression.  Cynthia: How common is depression in the senior population?  Dr. Sheri Gibson: Well, it's really interesting, it's less common among older adults compared to younger persons. However, the age of onset of depression is really important. Research has shown that the first onset of most mental health disorders occurs in childhood or adolescence, and a much smaller percentage of disorders have an onset in later life. Among older adults with mental disorders, it's clinically relevant for us to discern when a disorder began. For example, an older adult who may have suffered from lifelong depression would likely have a lengthier and more complicated treatment than an adult who developed or experienced depression in later life.   Cynthia: Regarding depression, what are the risk factors?  Dr. Sheri Gibson: The risk factors are multifaceted and they are influenced by cohort, socioeconomic status, culture, and gender.  At the individual level, for example a person's ability to initiate treatment or even to understand if they are experiencing depression, may be directly impacted by the mood disorder itself. It can also be further influenced by whether or not there's presence of cognitive impairment for example, or multiple chronic health disorders. Some of the risk factors that we look at are those multiple chronic health conditions such as vascular problems, diabetes mellitus, and then there are certain acute stressors of health.  Stressors such as stroke, which has been associated with depression. So we want to look at that when we look at depression as practitioners. When I say practitioners, I also mean primary care physicians.  We tend to take a biopsychosocial approach so that we look at one of the biological risk factors, so that would be those at health conditions that I discussed. We look at the psychological risk factors, one risk factor is if the person has had lifelong depression that does increase their risk for having a depressive episode later on. We also look at psycho-socially what's going on for the individual. Have they had any changes? For example, has there been a death of somebody they are grieving? Is their home situation distressed by family discord, for example? Or, are they isolated from people?  I would add one more circle to that Venn diagram, if you will, and that would be spirituality. Understanding a person's spiritual relationship, whether or not they are part of a faith community or if they're not. How does spirituality and religion impact a person for them to make meaning of these certain stressors in their life?   Cynthia: Many of our older population was so involved with their churches, this created an issue for them not be able to go anymore and to not be connected to that community. So you know that also brings up the question of what is the difference between a situational depression and regular depression?  Dr. Sheri Gibson: That's a really good question, Cynthia! Depression, as a mental health disorder, is kind of broken down into two categories. We have depression that is kind of a general diagnosis and then we have Major Depressive Disorder. Since you asked the question about depression, what we want to know as clinicians is what might be causing the depression. Oftentimes it may be situational and what that means is the person may be dealing with a chronic stressor or an acute stressor in their life and if that stressor was remedied then their mood functioning would return back to normal. Situational depression is kind of used among lay people to describe the feeling of “hey I'm just going through something right now this is situational.” However, from a clinical standpoint, we use that term to really think about is there something that, if it were resolved for the person, that they would be functioning in a normal capacity?  The important thing is to point out around situational kinds of stressors is that there's never a timeline for that situation to remedy. So the person may come in to say (I'm talking about caregivers), “I'm caring for a person who is chronically ill...” this may be wife, this may be a parent, and may even be an adult child, “... I know that if I could either get resources in or when the person does die or have to be moved into higher level of care then I will begin to feel better.” The problem is that we never have a timeline for that, and if we let depression as a disorder progress without being treated and hope that it will remedy once the situation remedies, we are often very remiss. It can lead to worse things for an older adult such as isolation or it could lead to thoughts of suicide, for example.  It could lead to early mortality because depression has been related to early mortality. It can also lead to cognitive impairment if the person is older and is functioning. Without being treated for their depression, or not being diagnosed, that can have real deleterious effects on their overall wellbeing in their course of their life.  Cynthia: Wow, so what kind what types of treatments are the most successful for older adults?  Dr. Sheri Gibson: What the literature tells us, and what clinical research has shown, is that really the best treatment or the treatment with the most effective outcomes, is a combination of medication and mental health treatment like counseling, for example. Older adults need to talk to their primary care physicians, or if they're seeing a psychiatrist to talk, about their mood. They can be put on a fairly safe low-dose anti-depressant.  There are some cautions with that depending on the person's health problems. If they have multiple chronic health problems that they're being treated for, it may be ill-advised that they take a medication. In that case, psychotherapy alone or counseling alone, can be very beneficial.   There is another myth out there that older adults do not benefit from therapy and I just want to say that is completely untrue and that older adults benefit just as well, if not better compared to their younger counterparts. They are more willing to dive into some very important meaningful issues of their life. One thing that we know, as practitioners, is that sometimes treatment can last or take a little longer with older adults than with their younger counterparts. That's just because of our own aging process, we have slower processing speeds in our thinking. So, we may need to take a longer time to integrate the information that we're learning in therapy and then applying that. So sometimes the course may take a little bit longer with older adults. Psychotherapy with older adults is very successful and the highest outcomes are when you can combine a very low dose and short-term medication.   Cynthia: This is using Erickson's nine tasks, saying that we're looking at our past and go into some of that to help ourselves heal?  Dr. Sheri Gibson: That's right, so we're resolving going back kind of doing a life review, is what we call that. A life review is reflecting on what's been important to me and how can I make meaning of some of the things that were hurtful in my past? What do I want to do with this chapter of my life? I always ask, whether or not the person actually talks about it. The forefront of older adults is kind of resolving this stage of development, if you will. Going back to Erikson's stages of development, is that people are thinking of their own mortality and that time is limited. So thought of “how do I want to spend this time and what is meaningful to me? How do I want a good death?” for example. Even planning our deaths because time is limited and we're thinking about that more as we approach old age.  Cynthia: And it's perfectly OK to be thinking about those things.   Dr. Sheri Gibson: Absolutely, it's so healing to be thinking about that.  Cynthia: It's a normal part of our lives.  Dr. Sheri Gibson: Correct!   Cynthia: Nobody gets out of this alive, that what I say. It a horrible joke, right? But it is true.  Dr. Sheri Gibson: That is true!   Cynthia: So, why might older adults avoid pursuing the treatment that would be helpful, especially when they're struggling emotionally so much?  Dr. Sheri Gibson: I think that, again this is very multifaceted as I mentioned before, we see differences with older adults who are probably seventy-five and older. There may have been a little bit of stigma associated with mental health. Those who grew up with mental health problems of that cohort kept those things under wraps and they didn't talk about it. It may be an individualized kind of mantra that you just pull yourself up by your bootstraps and you don't talk about it. That it is nobody else's business and only your business and so you handle it on my own. Sometimes that problem gets so big that the person can't handle it on their own. We also know that certain personality types are less open to receiving help. Another barrier might be a socioeconomic status that's a huge barrier for access to mental health resources. If a person isn't able to drive and doesn't have a social circle of people who can take them to appointments. Or, if they are segregated in their community by virtue of their culture, their race, their socioeconomic status, they will have less information about services available to them and less access nearby. So, it really is multifaceted.   I think that this community in Colorado Springs has done a really good job of doing our best to reach out to people and let them know. We have to shift the way we think about provision of mental health services and going to the people rather than waiting for them to come to us. We know that all of those things can be a barrier to them seeking help.   Cynthia: So, like being isolated for whatever reason affects all of that.  Dr. Sheri Gibson: Correct. When we think about isolation, I think about social isolation and geographical isolation. We're missing a big population of people in rural parts of our state, for example.   Cynthia: Another issue, changing topics, if it were, I don't want to say too much because suicide is also related to depression. Another issue for older adults suicide, can you speak to that for a bit?  Dr. Sheri Gibson: Yeah, you bet. Well, I think it's important to note that older adults complete about 20% of all suicides. They also have the highest rate of suicide completion, compared to any other age group which is a startling statistic. Older adults tend to use more lethal forms of on completing suicide. Some major risk factors occur in later life. One of the highest of demographics of persons who complete suicide are older white males. So, aside from being an older white male, other risk factors include depression hopelessness, substance abuse, a previous suicide attempt, and widowhood, a major late life transition like physical illness, social isolation, family discord, financial strain and stressful life event. Institutionalizations, interestingly enough (I'm really referring to nursing homes), may also be a predictor of suicide although residents of nursing homes tend to use more subtle forms of self-termination to complete their suicide such as starvation. In those cases, they may not be officially labeled as suicide in nursing homes.  Unfortunately, the majority of older adults who do complete suicide were experiencing their first episode of depression, meaning that it could be readily treated.   Another more staggering and if not more alarming statistic is that 75% of those persons were actually seen in their physician's offices within a month prior to their suicide. This really puts on our radar on the importance of screening in primary care offices. Physicians and their nurses need to be much more diligent in asking about whether or not a person is feeling suicidal or wanting to end their life. Knowing that people have been seen by their physicians, I think really gives us an opportunity to do something different in our primary care offices. It's certainly an issue.   I would also say that persons who are showing signs of suicide, that we have an opportunity as friends and family and neighbors to look for certain signs. Maybe some of the signs that we would look for is if the person stopped participating in activities that they used to enjoy. For example, are they isolating from their social or familiar circles, including their faith circles? Do they make off-handed comments about ending their life or wanting to die? It's not uncommon that some older adults will say things like “I'm just tired and I'm waiting to die” or “I'm waiting for God to take me” or “it's time I should be going” … and it shouldn't stop us from asking further. “Are you wanting to end your life prematurely,” that's the way I would ask that. However, it's also not always the case that their meaning to end their life, they're just tired and they're just waiting and that's also a normal response for some people towards the end of life.  I can't stress it enough, just the simple question of asking a person “are you okay” and leaving the question open. Asking “are you okay” or making an observation like “it seems that you're feeling down or you're having the blues” or “is there anything that I can do” or “tell me about your managing these days”... Oftentimes, there's another myth that we dance around these questions with older adults and we don't want to be seem like intruders and ask those questions. But I will tell you, in my clinical practice over the years, whenever I've asked the question more than likely the person is so willing to share. Often people don't ask them those questions and they don't want to burden others and they don't want to bring it out. So, it is our I think responsibility as friends and as family members to ask that question.   Cynthia: They're thinking about these things so why can't we talk to them? They may feel isolated by that conversation and think “my children don't want to hear about this” or “my friends don't want to hear about this.” But really, we need to get involved in where they're at.  Dr. Sheri Gibson: That's right.  Cynthia: It helps us to grow.  Dr. Sheri Gibson: Absolutely, and it gives us an opportunity to hear where we might be helpful to that person if we know that there are barriers to them getting the help. We have an opportunity to maybe bridge those barriers or just destroy the barriers altogether, but we don't know that if we can't ask the question.  Cynthia: Thank you.  Dr. Sheri Gibson: You're welcome.  Cynthia: According to the CDC, in 2013, the highest suicide rate was nearly the 20% among forty-five to sixty-four year-olds.  The second highest rate, very closely related was 18.6% (his is a few years ago) occurred in people eighty-five years and older, why?  Dr. Sheri Gibson: I think there's a couple things here. If we know that typically the highest risk factor is older men, and you think about how women tend to outlive men, also think about the gender roles of this cohort of seventy-five to eighty-five year-olds. There were gender roles in heterosexual relationships. That's what we know most about that cohort. Gender roles were that women were kind of a social outlet for the family and the men were the workers of the family. So, I think that we see this occurring when the woman of the couple has died first and so the man is left without a social network. Also, at the age of eighty, so many friends and close people have also deceased at that point.   We also see a high percentage of older veterans who complete suicide because they're not afraid to use a firearm and most of them have firearms, so they use a more lethal means of ending their lives.  So, I think it gets to cohort and that isolation piece. When we think about eighty-five year-olds living at home, they likely more isolated than people who are living in an assisted living facility or a community for older adults.   Cynthia: Even an introvert needs community.  Dr. Sheri Gibson: Absolutely, whatever that community means. You know, I think that this brings up another topic of engagement. Understanding that engagement is different across people. So, if we always think that we want our older adults “to be more engaged” and I use that in quotations because what does that mean? What was engagement like for that person throughout their life?  I worked with a caregiver once whose eighty-five year-old father was moving to the area. He had been living on the East Coast and was moving here. She had this vision for his aging that was not aligned with his vision. She wanted him to move into a retirement community and she had these visions of him playing bingo and shuffleboard and going to movies. When he got here it was just not his vision; in fact, his vision was to purchase a motorhome and he wanted to travel the country at eighty-five. She just really couldn't see it happening so we worked together. First of all, were there any reasons that he was making a poor decision? For example, was there cognitive impairment? He was more than happy to do testing to ease his daughter's concerns and it turned out he was fine cognitively and he could make this trip. He could make the decision get a motor home. What really threw her over the edge of was that he was on match.com and he had arranged blind dates along his travels.  So I think as adult children, when we step into the care of our parents and when they allow us to step in, we need to have an understanding of what is engagement for that person. Community is important but community can look like all different kinds of things. So really understanding that and not imposing our own values and preferences on the people that we love so they can live these final years in the way that they've always wanted to.   Cynthia: My husband and I have talked about these things. He wants to go hang out in the library and I want to do more volunteerism. I want to be around community. We're all different.  Dr. Sheri Gibson: We're all different. We have to recognize and respect those differences.   Cynthia: So, can you tell me where can people go for help with suicide and depression in El Paso County as well as where can they go nationally?  Dr. Sheri Gibson: Well, that's a great question and I'm glad that we're providing our audience with some tools. So, if you if you or somebody that you care about appears to be showing signs of depression, or if they are making some comments about life not being worth living anymore, you really need to find a mental health professional with whom that person can talk. There are several resources immediately in our area in Colorado Springs. The first I would recommend is the UCCS Aging Center, they are located on North Nevada in the Lane building. They're associated with the University and they are staffed with psychologists. They are a premier training clinic for future geropsychologists like myself. They offer mental health treatment under an array of mental health disorders. In addition to that, they offer free caregiving classes for caregivers and individual counseling for caregivers which is really important. We recognize at the Aging Center that people age in context and they age in a community and system, whether that be their community as a system or their family system. So, we believe in treating the whole family when we can. I say we because I actually see people there for them one day a week.  We also provide a cognitive testing. We know that cognitive impairment can impact one's mood and vice-versa. So we want to make sure that we are being diligent and getting people all the information. We have a neuropsychological clinic where we do very in-depth neuro psych testing where we can actually give people diagnosis. We also have a lighter version of that, which we call the memory clinic, where we can do a smaller version of testing to track people across time. We believe that cognitive testing should be a part of any whole-body testing, just as you would get a mammogram or colonoscopy. You should also, after the age of sixty-five, have cognitive screening done. So they do that there as well.   In addition to that, there are several psychotherapists in town who specialize in older adults, me being one of those people. You can access my services online, my website is doctorsherrigibson.com spelled “Dr SheriGibson.com” you can read about the services that I offer and I also have a contact page so you can send me an email. If I can't help that individual, I have a list of referrals in the community that I'm willing to share. The Aging Center is also really good resource.   At the national level, particularly around suicide, I definitely want to give the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline that's available 24 hours a day to anybody. That number is 1-800-273-8255. I definitely want to provide that to our listeners.   Then there was one question that you and I explored prior to this that I wanted to address. You and I were having a conversation before we went on the podcast and one question that you asked me is “what does the future hold for mental health issues for our seniors?” So, if you don't mind and if we have time, I can address this somehow.  Cynthia: I missed that question, sure!  Dr. Sheri Gibson: Mental health services for older adults will continue to evolve. The way that we see it, as practitioners, are really a function of three elements. The things that we think are coming down the pipeline is the changing characteristics of older adults in future cohorts. The developments in our basic understanding of processes that affect geriatric mental health and the alterations in our public policy that will affect the provision of mental health services to older adults. Today's older adults represent as a really unique intersection, if you will, between individual and historical time. Stigma has always been considered, or was historically considered to be a real barrier for mental health treatment. Tomorrow's older adults may arrive into later life with a different perspective and different patterns of mental health and disorders. Some have suggested that today's younger and middle-aged adults have higher rates of depression when compared to the current older adults at a comperable points in their lives. Thus, they're bringing higher rates of mental health problems into later life. Additionally, the older adults of the future may arrive in later life with increased experiences and expectations around mental health services and mental health treatment. I think we can't say enough about the emergence of technology in this regard. Technology can be a means of opening access to mental health care and that's a growing area of study and implementation.   So getting back to my earlier comment around provision of services to rural parts of the state or rural parts of our country, using telehealth mechanisms can do that for people. There are inherent challenges in that and we recognize that as a field. At the same time we have to embrace technology now.   We now know that this cohort of older adults, the baby boomers for example, are very tech savvy. So, they are more than willing to engage with technology as a way of helping themselves or getting help. I think that that is where the future is going to be. Putting on our legislative's minds about the importance of mental health and allowing that to continue to be covered through Medicare and Medicaid so that people are really getting the benefit of that. So that we're allowing people to live into their later lives in the best quality possible.   Cynthia: Whatever that means for that individual.   Dr. Sheri Gibson: That's correct, yes. I think we can't say enough about joy and fun and pleasure is really important as we age.   Cynthia: Yes, in a different way than what I think young people do.  Dr. Sheri Gibson: I would imagine for you and me sitting here, what I thought was enjoyable at 20 is certainly different as I approach 50.   Cynthia: Wait until you're my age, gal! It's a whole different story.   Dr. Sheri Gibson: Well, thank you so much, that's all we have time for today. Thank you doctor Gibson. I appreciate you're time and willingness to be with us today.   Cynthia: It's been a pleasure.

Psilocybin, a hallucinogen derived from certain mushrooms, is receiving a lot of attention lately in the research community and Johns Hopkins University has just recommended that this compound be reclassified for medicinal use to treat depression, anxiety and to help people stop smoking. What is psilocybin and does it have lasting beneficial effects on depression and anxiety? How does it impact our brain? Learn more about the effect of psilocybin with guest Jennifer Campbell, MA.I met Jennifer Campbell, in San Francisco this past August where she presented on the topic: “Psilocybin in the Therapeutic Milieu” at the American Psychological Association’s Annual Convention. Her presentation was fascinating and I asked Jennifer if she would come onto the show to share these research findings with listeners. Jennifer is finishing up her Clinical Psychology PhD studies at Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, California and works in neuropsychological and rehabilitation psychology at the Texas NeuroRehab Center. Disclaimer: please note that I am a doctoral level psychologist, not a physician. Do not make medical decisions on the basis of information from today’s podcast without discussing it fully with your physician. Psychology America with Dr. Alexandra is neither advocating for the illegal use of psilocybin nor recommending that it be taken to treat anxiety and depression. Instead, with a spirit of openness to new learning, we are sharing what research is discovering about this interesting compound and its impact on mental health. To learn more about clinical trials being done on psilocybin in the United States, go to clinicaltrials.gov and search hallucinogens. Also search London based compasspathways.com.P.S. For those who love neuroscience: Psilocybin is a 5HT2 receptor agonist in contrast to SSRIs, which target 5HT1A receptors.Relevant articles: https://nyti.ms/2P87IGHhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-13282-7 http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0269881116675512 https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(16)30065-7/fulltext https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.ajp-rj.2016.110605 http://www.eurekaselect.com/111922/article If you enjoyed this episode of Psychology America with Dr. Alexandra there are a few ways that you can show your support:1) order a book from PsychologyAmerica.com where there is a selection of books I’ve personally chosen (your order will go seamlessly through to Amazon.com) 2), leave an awesome rating on iTunes or 3) press subscribe to continue to receive new episodes.Do you have a friend who is going through a rough time that you would like to cheer up?

The Sex, Money, and Food PodcastEpisode 098: A Whiff to Your Success, with Danielle Daniel   Smelling, Brain Science and Empowering Women with Danielle Daniel Welcome to this of The Sex, Money and Food podcast! Today we’re talking about a fascinating topic: how we can use essential oils to smell our way to success and well-being.   On this episode of the Sex, Money, and Food Podcast, we’re joined by Danielle Daniel who is a licensed psychotherapist, a Clinical Psychology PhD student specializing in the field of Psychopharmacology (the study of aromatic compounds impact on the brain). In her business, she combines her knowledge with her passion for empowering women to achieve success through emotional wellness.   More About This Show   If you’ve ever been stressed out and then taken a walk in nature to relieve your tension you know how impactful nature’s scent can be on your mood. Quality essential oils come from nature and mimic what their source does naturally.   Take peppermint for example: the cold pressed oil of peppermint (or any other essential oil) is very powerful. In fact essential oils are 50-75x more powerful than the herb itself. In the case of peppermint one drop of it is equal to 28 cups of peppermint tea!   One of Danielle’s favorite things to do is to have people put one drop of peppermint on their hand, rub their hands together and then rub the oil on to the backs of their necks so it gets into their bloodstream quickly. Also she has them inhale it so it can get into their neural factory pathways and respiratory system to invigorate them and help them breathe deeply.   When I asked her to explain more about the emotional part of aromatherapy she talked about the different effects different oils have on the brain. For example, frankincense is an oil that is good for nearly everything from relieving anxiety to increasing memory to alleviating stress. If you find yourself triggered by the same experience or emotion you can change that by using certain essential oils. Danielle says she used an essential oil the day we recorded this episode: she was frustrated by something but caught herself in that frustrated mode. Instead of going into a downward spiral about it, she grabbed an essential oil blend and it changed her emotional state within just a few minutes!   I was curious about that and asked her to dig deeper into the emotional aspects of aromatherapy. According to Danielle’s extensive psychopharmacology research, nature can tell you what something is going to do by what it looks like and smells like.   Take citrus as an example: citrus fruits, like lemons, limes, tangerines, are bright and vibrant. That is exactly what citruses and citrus oils do: they bring out feelings of brightness, happiness and vibrancy in the brain. Next we talked about being in a forest and the trees in a forest: what feelings do trees evoke? I said trees bring out feelings of being grounded, wisdom and deep roots. Essential oils from trees do just that: they help the brain get present in the moment, get connected and be here and now.   Essential oils that come from trees are oils like cedarwood, frankincense, sandalwood, spruce, white fir. They are grounding and rooted, so they are especially helpful for people whose emotions fluctuate a lot or anyone with special needs.   On today’s episode, we also talk about the emotions that flower essential oils and spice essential oils bring out in us, and what happens when you put essential oils on the various pulse points in our bodies. Danielle goes into detail about the internal intuition our bodies possess about what works for them, and what we need. You’ll even hear a fascinating story about two horses and their different responses to peppermint and oregano! Listen in for that and more on this episode of Sex, Money and Food with Danielle Daniel. Danielle Answers The Questions   Q: Rank the following in order, Sex, Money, Food: A: Right now my sole focus is empowering women and I’m building my million dollar business so I’d say money. Wealth is really something I’m focused on.   Q: There is nothing better in life than… A: connecting with others - that is the first thing that came to mind.   Q: Your ultimate pleasure in life is? A: I’m a beach girl! I just love being at the beach - wakeboarding in Mission Bay or surfing out in the ocean.   Q: What do essential oils smell like to you? A: Nature. I like nature. I read a blog post the other day about how when we’re in nature and how it helps with calming, anxious emotions. She’s a psychotherapist as well and she has a blog about helping people with their anxiety. There are aromas that are in nature and those aromas are essential oils.   Q: What is a mistake or a circumstance did you go through regarding sex, money and food that is has allowed you grow and learn from. Or is there something that you would say...I will never do that again! A: I would say it was a big turning point for me in my career: I went to San Diego State for my Master’s and got my degree in social work. What happened was I was in my dream job of working with teens with suicidal ideation but I went to school and got my degree in social work because my heart was in helping people.   But I had a big turning point when I was in my mid-30s when I wasn’t married and had been in that dream job for about 8 years, but was living paycheck to paycheck and could barely save to buy the current home I’m in. I loved my job but didn’t know if I could do it til I was 65, I also wanted to travel and do humanitarian work.   I knew I needed to make a change and I knew it was up to me and not waiting on a husband coming into my life; I wanted to show the world that I could be single and successful.   Tweetable: “Different essential oils do different things for the brain!” - Danielle Daniel   Episode Resources Danielle Daniel’s website Danielle’s giveaway Danielle Daniel on Instagram Danielle Daniel on Facebook Zoom’s website Connect with me on Instagram Sign up for my Five Day Self-love Challenge Follow me on Twitter Subscribe to the Sex Money and Food Podcast on iTunes
