Last I checked, at least one in five U.S. adults, and many children, are taking a prescription psychiatric medication such as Prozac or Zoloft for a mental health issue. Why? Because to live within this world of hyper-individualism has proven to be a failed social experiment. This is why part of us forever feels we are Not OK, defective, and/or lack something.
We are fixated on self-improvement in order to resolve this sense of emptiness and lack. Our sense of self as a commodity of late stage capitalism is sorta sickening and sorta gratifying at the same time. The economic-political system demands that we live in competition with everyone, including ourselves.

Trauma
Report
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are therapies that treat anxiety, depression, phobias, and a variety of other mental health problems related to past trauma. Instead of traditional talk therapy, ART and EMDR resolve distressing issues through visualization paired with eye movements.
Movement
Report
We all know the benefits of exercise: decreased stress, anxiety, and depression; improved mood and sleep; and decreased feelings of loneliness and isolation. As such, it makes sense to pair this with talk therapy as a natural way to work through stressors in our lives. Movement therapy is an innovative way to process psychological experiences by incorporating aspects of talk therapy through bodily movement.
Zen
Report
Zen literally means meditation. Therapy implies self-study in the form of constructing and de-constructing one's personal narrative. Zen therapy is the combining of Eastern meditation practice with self-analysis, Game analysis and Script analysis. The method of Zen therapy is based on a teacher-student relationship.
Meditation
Report
The word Zen literally means meditation. Meditation is the act or practice of meditating. There are various forms of meditation practice, but the aim of practice is-in the moment-to discover who you truly are. Meditation is an embodied practice, meaning you take it on wholeheartedly. Meditation can be practiced walking, sitting, or lying down.

Americans average 12 hours per day on electronics in the virtual world, or, less than half their life in the real world. Tech platforms are using artificial intelligence (i.e., computer algorithms) to extract our behavioral data in order to reflexively predict what we will want based on what we wanted in the past.
