Do you spend time at that spice shop in downtown Litteton? I want in for the first time yesterday and was overwhelmed. My children's pediatrician was in there shopping and she was running around showing me her favorites. I bought 4 blends.<br /><br />LucilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919676592139184304.post-19058803975327383562009-06-15T07:09:06.356-07:002009-06-15T07:09:06.356-07:00One more comment: Dr. Henslin and I have just com...One more comment: Dr. Henslin and I have just completed the manuscript for This is Your Brain in Love, which may be of additional help to couples who have been discouraged with traditional counseling that doesn't take brain health into consideration. It will debut in early 2010!Becky Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927691116577158550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919676592139184304.post-19410416896191105552009-06-15T07:06:25.736-07:002009-06-15T07:06:25.736-07:00First, thank you both for taking time out to comme...First, thank you both for taking time out to comment and also to read This is Your Brain on Joy. Robin, I hope you are enjoying sprinkling your life with the joy of cooking now and again in our fastfood culture!<br /><br />As to the question about "the anatomy of jealousy" ... a great question. Yes, I think both PTSD (were you abandoned or betrayed before?) and also "stuck thinking" issues are often at play in jealousy. However, sometimes jealousy is an appropriate emotional response to a real threat. In my previous marriage I "spiritualized away" what turned out to be a legitimate concern ...in a friendship between my husband and another woman that eventually destroyed our marriage. But in this marriage where I am safe, I will still sometimes get "triggered" from past pain and there really is no logical reason for concern. thankfully my husband is understanding and comforting and reassuring; while I also take responsiblity for my own healing journey and do not punish him for my exhusband's wounding.<br /><br />You are on a good course of healing. A counselor who has experience in post traumatic stress (particularly one who uses EMDR therapy) could be very helpful. It's amazing how quickly EMDR can work to heal long pent up hurts. Yea for you being so proactive in your emotional recovery!Becky Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927691116577158550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919676592139184304.post-33758987772441539632009-06-14T10:04:55.446-07:002009-06-14T10:04:55.446-07:00Enjoyed, My wife and I are working on our relation...Enjoyed, My wife and I are working on our relationship after 33 years of marriage. Would like to know about the anatomy of jealousy that I am experiencing late in our relationship. I am an ordained minister, who has been under high stress teaching last 3 years in a public school after trauma of being layed off from a church finiancial crisis likely more politics than finance. Wife and I both have childhood histories of abuse which doesn't help. Can jealousy be a symptom of Post Tramatic Stress. I have read most of Dr. Henslin's book and Dr. Amen's and am getting counseling and taking supplements for stuck thinking etc. Just what is the anatomy of jealousy, for I know it is destructive as I worked many years with men's ministry and prayer ministry.. Thanks God Bless! Ps I posted this before on other blogs on Dr. Henslins site, but don't think they were working properly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4919676592139184304.post-84497021548312954562009-05-28T03:04:19.447-07:002009-05-28T03:04:19.447-07:00Becky thank you for this post. As I read through ...Becky thank you for this post. As I read through two thoughts came to mind. First, sounds like a Babette's Feast, which you do mention near the end of your post. The second, is you inspired my heart to go start creating wonderful meals again bringing back eating slowly a prepared meal made with love and creativity, rather than eating on the run. <br /><br />I have been rather sick over the last few days, and could not sleep tonight, your post bought joy to my brain!<br /><br />I read Dr. Henslin's book, Your Brain on Joy, a few weeks ago it brought hope and clarity to a few situations that have emerged in my life. I will be writing a book review, my goal is this weekend. <br /><br />Thanks again for bringing some joy in the wee hours of the mourning as I listen to the birds singing and wait for another hacking cough.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587313198284377961noreply@blogger.com
