Welcome to “Connecting to Others: The Role of Mental Health Professionals in the Stuttering Community” forum. This forum provides an interactive, open conversation with a collective of Mental Health Professionals coming together to explore what connects us from both the lens of stuttering and therapy. Daily topics include:
  • Monday’s Modalities: discussion of therapeutic modalities we use, are interested in, wonder about, and work with. Tie in with the experience being a therapist with a stutter, and the merge of SLP & Mental Health therapies.
  • Tuesday Transformations: Words, essays, poems, videos, and photos of expression of our personal/professional transformations as a stutterer, mental health professional, and the merge of the two.
  • Wednesday Words: Working with the words of therapy around self-worth, self-esteem, traumatic experiences, depressive thinking, daily struggles, life transitions, career development, stuck patterns, and negative/positive thought cycles.
  • Throwback Thursdays: Photos, essays, poems, videos and words of memories from our stuttering past.
  • Family & Friends Fridays:  Views of the integration of family and/or friends in our stuttering and therapist lives.
  • Weekend Wrap-ups: Bringing together all of our thoughts into how we view ourselves as therapists, our contributions to the professional mental health and speech language world.
Come share your thoughts, experiences and questions at “Connecting with Others” at We Speak with One Voice, International Stuttering Awareness Online Conference, October 1st to 22nd 2014.

The Faces of H.I.V. in New York in 2013

6/6/2013

Two beautiful pieces in the NY Times about the changes and faces o

Now this group of almost 50,000 men and women moving through middle age is a living science experiment, entering medical and psychological territories that are largely uncharted. What are the consequences of long-term exposure to the virus, or to the medications? How do these interact with the effects of normal aging? And how, after you have braced for death, do you turn around and create a new life, often without the friends and loved ones who gave your life definition?

A Hush Hush Topic No More

I applaud the New York Times for this piece on BDSM communities. I especially appreciate this quote about communication and and negotiation:

"“In the vanilla world,” Dr. Ferrer said, you wait for your partner to mess up before you set the rules. “In the dominant/submissive relationship, you’re constantly talking, constantly communicating,” she added. “In the D-S community, there is such a high level of communication that the couples last so much longer.”
