New Year resolution MORE Greens

Holiday Alienation

Boris Matthews, PhD, LCSW 

Happy New Year to you from Dr. Matthews - are you still there? The chaos that surrounds the holidays often creates a terrible sense of having lost oneself - cultural and family expectations, old family patterns, pressure to blend-in -  amid the unconscious center of this we can't find ourselves.

Some VA hospitals are hiring acupuncturists to be on staff as well, and you may even find that your local veterinarian has started using acupuncture in treatment of animals in pain.  Enjoy this December, 2018 article, "Easing the Agony" about acupuncture being used in West Allis.
