I've started doing meditation with this group called The 'Art of Living' in New York City, and it's honestly changed my life. Can't recommend it enough for dealing with the stresses of modern life.

Can you elaborate a bit more? I often deal with anxiety and constant worrying. I heard mediation helps and I tried a few times but every time I sit down my thought races like crazy. My brain never turns off.

In terms of bricks and bones - these guys provide guided meditations, yoga workouts and teach you breathing techniques, which allow you to control your emotional responses using your breath.

More holistically though, they provide tools with which you can control your emotional reactions to things, which I feel appeals to Type A personalities like us. And the learning happens among a supportive and non-judgmental group of people. You can probably tell that I'm a fan haha.

Could you give me more info? I Googled it and got so many varying options with that name.

Look for the "Happiness Program" from the Art of Living - it's their foundational course, and most cities have a center that offer it a couple of times a month. It's a little expensive, but once you do it you have free access to weekly meets for life.

You can also download guided meditation tapes to your phone and listen to them. I’m sure it’s not going to be as effective as a group or class but it’s what I do and it really changed my life as well, for the better. I would highly recommend hypnosisdownloads.com

OP, how expensive is it?

It's a $375 upfront fee for the beginners course and unlimited weekly follow-up sessions

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down.

We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
