A Lesson from Vienna This spring, I visited a cousin, Father Peter van Meijl, who is a priest at Michaelerkirche, a beautiful church in the heart of Vienna. He said something that stayed with me: “Everything in life is a joy and a burden.” He explained how this elegant church, with the largest baroque organ in Vienna, brings joy to so many. People come from all over the world to visit. It’s a joy. And it’s a burden. There’s a … Read More

Going Beyond the Brain to Support the Whole Human October 10th is World Mental Health Day, and this year’s theme is “Access to Services—Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies.” It’s an important reminder that when disasters strike—whether war, natural disaster, or personal crisis—mental health support is just as essential as food, shelter, and physical care. And yet, when we speak of mental health, the meaning often gets blurred. Many people equate mental with the head—thinking, brain chemistry, or cognitive strategies. … Read More
Are you feeling stuck in stress? We often think stress comes from deadlines, conflicts, or the never-ending to-do list. These events may trigger underlying stressors—patterns rooted in memories and beliefs. This helps explain why we all react differently in similar situations. We now know that we can identify and shift these underlying stressors to relieve old patterns of reaction. If this feels unfamiliar or confusing, that’s completely normal—most of us have been taught to look only at the world around … Read More
Fear is reactive. We often hear the phrase “fear is power.” It shows up everywhere—politics, business, even personal relationships. The idea is simple: if you make people afraid—of failure, loss, or conflict—you can influence what they do. On the surface, it seems effective. Fear drives action. Fear produces results. But here’s the truth: fear is a short-term lever. It may get compliance, but it doesn’t build trust, creativity, or resilience. It traps energy in reactive loops, keeps people tense, and … Read More
MRI Claustrophobia is Stressful and Limiting. For many people, the thought of entering an MRI machine triggers more than mild discomfort—it causes full-blown panic. The narrow tunnel, the loud thumping noises, and the enforced stillness can evoke sensations of being trapped, helpless, or overwhelmed. Despite knowing the scan is important, some patients find themselves unable to go through with it—again and again. Medical imaging professionals often see patients cancel, reschedule, or attempt scans multiple times before succeeding—if they ever do. … Read More

Beliefs about “not enough”. Beliefs such as “I’m not smart enough” or “I’m not rich enough” may sound familiar—and they’re more common than most of us realize. Despite your achievements, there can still be an inner voice that whispers these lines at the worst possible moment. Despite what others see, you may be stuck in a belief that blocks your ability to enjoy life in the moment. There is always a need to do more and achieve more. It’s frustrating … Read More
In this turbulent world, the pressure to step into action can feel intense. Under stress, you default to automatic reactions—fight, flight, or freeze. While this is natural, it limits creativity and narrows your ability to see alternatives. When stress triggers fight, flight, or freeze responses, the ability to take meaningful action can be blocked. Instead of pushing through stress and stepping into your fears, what if the key is to step into calm first? The Urge to Act Under Stress … Read More
Political stress is engaging … but at a cost. In today’s environment of change and uncertainty, it’s normal to feel anxiety and tension. And often this tension becomes more about winning and losing than solving problems or creating solutions. It’s easy to get caught up in what “could” or “should” happen and the language of battle: “fighting,” “defeating,” and “taking down the opposition.” This framing of politics as war doesn’t just affect the political landscape. It can control your personal … Read More
