In a captivating exploration of sleep's profound impact on our mental and physical well-being, this episode delves into a wide array of topics, guided by notable experts. We start by discussing the pressing decline in mental health among girls, supported by insights from various sources including Forbes and Discover Magazine. The conversation then progresses with Dr. Mari Swingle and Jay Gunkelman, who provide an in-depth analysis of the Theta Beta Ratio's evolution since 1999, highlighting how decreased sleep and disrupted circadian rhythms contribute to ADD/ADHD and bipolar disorders. Through engaging discussions, we uncover the modern challenges families face, the pressures exerted by social media, and the phenomenon of "sleep competition." The experts also touch upon the transformation in lighting technology from incandescent to LED and its effects on our sleep cycles. With a focus on solutions, we explore practical interventions like "Granny Glechoma Glasses" for screen light filtration and neurofeedback techniques for improving sleep quality in athletes, students, and those dealing with trauma. The episode doesn't shy away from complex topics like the impact of sleep deprivation on mental states, the therapeutic potential of REM sleep, and the pitfalls of common sleep aids. Whether you're intrigued by the science of sleep, looking for ways to improve your mental health, or curious about the intersection of technology and well-being, this episode offers valuable knowledge, innovative solutions, and thought-provoking insights for everyone.

Particularly sexual violence, long taboo was finally becoming exposed. Obviously it has gone in and out of the shadows since then, but that was an important “outing” that rapidly determined the direction of my work as a therapist. I soon discovered that a vast majority of my clients came to therapy because they found relationship difficult to seemingly impossible. Long compelled by the conundrum of relationship (in part because it had been so difficult for me!) this became my specialty. I began to avidly study trauma, then barely known, as the PTSD diagnosis only came into being in 1980! When the 1990’s brought “the decade of the brain,” I became a dogged student of neuroscience, since trauma affects the ordinary function of brain and nervous system. It wasn’t long before I learned that sexuality was a massive challenge for the traumatized and set out to add sex therapy to my tool box by becoming a certified sex therapist. Research verified that relationship and sexuality are indeed some of the most hard hit areas for the traumatized. What to do about this became my mission of the last 40 years.
