Therapy Notes from Sarri Gilman, LMFT. Monday, June 2, 2014. What if someone has a psychotic break from reality? Every now and then I receive a call from someone who has had a significant break in their mind- it is like a bone breaking, except it takes place in the mind. It is called a psychotic episode, or having a "breakdown", or going over the deep end. Whatever you call it, when you see it or experience it, it is very serious and very scary. How to recognize it:. 4 THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR THEM. 1- Tak...

The Therapist: Vitamin D and Your Mental Health
http://sarrigilman.blogspot.com/2015/06/vitamin-d-and-your-mental-health.html
Therapy Notes from Sarri Gilman, LMFT. Friday, June 5, 2015. Vitamin D and Your Mental Health. I am not a medical doctor, but the truth is that when I treat anyone experiencing depression or anxiety, I do send him or her to his or her primary care physician to check on a few basic things. I request some tests to check: thyroid, blood sugar (glucose), and Vitamin D and a few other things. If you live in the northwest, or if you eat a vegan diet, you should check your Vitamin D level.

The Therapist: See the documentary FED UP

Therapy Notes from Sarri Gilman, LMFT. Monday, March 2, 2015. See the documentary FED UP. Why am I writing about this? Weight is an issue that people often want to work on in therapy. How does therapy impact weight? No one ever lost a pound in my office from talking. Working with a therapist can help you customize a plan for you. Sometimes there are issues to address around how you support yourself to face such a big challenge. Most people suffer from weight issues for 4 reasons:. Alcohol may be a factor.

Therapy Notes from Sarri Gilman, LMFT. Tuesday, November 27, 2012. Thinking like a crow. I was jogging on Double Bluff Road and noticed lots of crows being busy. I stopped to watch them and saw they were carrying hazelnuts, one by one, big for a crow, and leaving the whole hazelnut in the road. Then they returned to the hazelnut trees. They were waiting for a car to pass and crack open the hazelnut. In therapy, sometimes we come to things that feel impossible. Then we find a way. View my complete profile.

Therapy Notes from Sarri Gilman, LMFT. Tuesday, July 23, 2013. There is a little dove that sits on top of the pole outside of my office. We can hear the sweetest sounds from this dove during sessions. I wish this little dove knew how much comfort it was bringing to people in therapy. Between tears, people will say to me, "Do you hear a dove? And I answer, "You are not crazy, there is a little dove that sits outside this office, and yes, you are hearing a dove.".

Therapy Notes from Sarri Gilman, LMFT. Saturday, March 31, 2012. How I learned to love the word "no". I've been dog-sitting a shiba inu this week, and I've decided if you want really want to learn boundaries, shiba's are fine teachers. This breed of dog reacts strongly to the word "no." They take it as a personal affront. They make good teachers because you have to be 100 percent committed to your boundary to set a limit with a shiba inu. It sounds so simple, a yes and a no, but it is very complicated...

Therapy Notes from Sarri Gilman, LMFT. Saturday, November 8, 2014. I am writing this in support of the many families and employers putting the pieces back together after a shooting in a high school. It has been two weeks since the shooting, and the last child in critical care, passed away last night. Every child passing away, has torn our hearts open with grief. The grief is enormous. This is a time for tears. We all need to be patient with this. We need to make adjustments for the next few months. If yo...
