Nyla Lengacher, LCSW. August 29, 2010. Fixed or Growth Mindsets. How much of our life is fixed? Michael Jordan was not picked for the basketball team in High School. So he practiced practiced and practiced some more. Even after he made the team, he went over and above standard practice times and would tenaciously repeat a shot he may have struggled with. Seems so have paid off. Posted by Nyla Lengacher, LCSW. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader. Nyla Lengacher Home Page.

Nyla Lengacher, LCSW. October 31, 2010. Adoptee and Birth Family Rights. Does an adoptee have the right to know where they came from? In the case of closed adoption, does an adoptee have the right to open the records and find out who their biological family is? Does an adoptee have the right to know their medical history? Does a birth parent or sibling have the right to know who their son, daughter, brother or sister is? Please share your opinions on this. Thank you. Posted by Nyla Lengacher, LCSW.

Nyla Lengacher, LCSW: April 2011

Nyla Lengacher, LCSW. April 28, 2011. The Blueprint of Your Mind. When you think of a blueprint for a home you are building, you can see what that home will look like when it’s completed. Of course you would want the builders to use the best materials possible and do quality work. The excitement builds and you can’t wait for the completion so that you can move in and enjoy what you’ve dreamed of. Posted by Nyla Lengacher, LCSW. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://nylalengacher.blogspot.com/2009/02/placebos-recently-i-read-article-in.html
Nyla Lengacher, LCSW. February 15, 2009. They found that even if an individual did not have any faith in the treatment, let’s say a shot or pill that was given, there was still improvement. In other words, the subconscious associations to things that the mind connects with healing, makes a difference. This could be a white lab coat, a stethoscope or those sterile stainless steal cabinets. Please write and tell me your thoughts on, or experiences with placebos. Posted by Nyla Lengacher, LCSW.

Nyla Lengacher, LCSW: Write Your Story
http://nylalengacher.blogspot.com/2012/07/write-your-story.html
Nyla Lengacher, LCSW. July 01, 2012. We all have a life story. One of the things I ask some of my clients to do is to think about what their story has been thus far and then sit down and begin writing what they want the rest of their story to be. The present is the now but you do have a part in what your tomorrow will look. The writing exercise is intended to put you in a place where you really try to imagine what you want your future to look be. This is for you so don’t make it too complicated.

Nyla Lengacher, LCSW. January 05, 2011. To join or not to join? I’ll start by saying that I have not joined. The positives include, connecting with former friends and family you haven’t seen in forever, keeping up with each others lives through pictures and sharing. I see negatives like it being time consuming for many potentially taking away from face to face interaction and socialization. I’m not sure if I will ultimately get on or not but I’m much more tempted now. So are you on or off? I often wonder...

Nyla Lengacher, LCSW. December 19, 2008. Many methods have been conceived over the years to treat social anxiety and there is no one-size-fits-all therapy. Meditation has been effective for calming some forms of anxiety, and mindfulness, a form of meditation, has been shown to be especially effective. If you had the option of worrying about bad things that may never happen to you or feeling calm and relaxed, what would you choose? There is a saying that I used to have on my office wall that said,.
