connecting with our heart and spirit. Keep in mind, that every season has its beauty and its joyful aspects—if we are willing to pay attention to it. The holiday season is rich with happy moments being offered to you-no matter what your spiritual/religious path is (or even if you don’t have one. ) This is the time of year that much of the world is focused on the values of connection, love, joy and peace and everyday miracles. These messages are like important Post-it notes to remind us of what brings life purpose, meaning and connection. Even as people engage in the hustle bustle of the season, we are reminded of “peace on earth, goodwill toward men” and “let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me”. When we hear those messages, we have an opportunity to let them touch our heart and spirit. And, of course, the lights are so symbolic. They can prompt us to allow the light to radiate through our heart, providing healing and nurturing. The light represents the thought tha

Continued on page 7 INTERVIEWER: What would you consider the greatest risk in the life of the patient with co-occurring addiction and mental health challenges? DR. STENSON: Such individuals face a number of challenges but perhaps the greatest risk would be a preventable, premature death. When diagnosis is delayed and treatment not provided, risk factors such as suicide, accidental death, and illness development significantly increases. An individual’s quality of life can be significantly improved with proper diagnosis and treatment. INTERVIEWER: What things would you consider as most important to add to the patient’s lives to increase resiliency? DR. STENSON: Becoming a partner and meaningful participant in the individual’s treatment can greatly add to an individual’s resiliency. Knowing that their treatment team understands the many challenges they face can be internalized and applied to the day-to-day coping skills and resiliency. INTERVIEWER: If you were to ask a patient furt

Chelsea has a passion for working with people experiencing intense challenges and believes all situations can find more peace and joy in life. How to Pick a Counselor or Therapist By Chelsea Bagias, Psy. D. The most important thing about choosing a counselor or therapist is to find a situation where you feel comfortable, safe, and where there is potential for trust. Consistently the most important criteria for successful therapy is the fit between the therapist and client. When you meet with someone that you “click with” you are more able to be honest with yourself and it’s much easier to talk about any topic. Finding the right fit involves two separate parts. One is looking for characteristics in the

poor quality control and related factors can lead to scams. It is important that treating staff stress the importance of good communication about various products that are promoted as holistic, organic, herbal, etc as some have no foundation in science and are financial scams. Wellness oriented life-style changes that include nutrition, exercise, and stress management are very positive and important. INTERVIEWER: Do you feel additional supports such as AA, MA or other meeting groups are helpful in aiding recovery? DR. STENSON: These programs are incredibly important and sadly, too often, under-utilized. Frequently, patients on normalizing doses of methadone or buprenorphine report unpleasant experiences at AA/NA when their treatment was shared. This is gradually changing as more AAs and NAs gain awareness of the highly effective, non-conscious altering effects of proper dosing of methadone and buprenorphine. We encourage our patients to become familiar with brochures such as, “T

Take a walk along Stockton Boulevard. Head south from U Street, and on the right you ll pass 2250 Stockton Blvd: the Sacramento County Mental Health Treatment Center (affectionately known as SCMHTC). Keep heading south, past the Coca Cola bottling plant, and you ll reach the UC Davis Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science. It s an attractive but low-key building, also on the west side, nestled between a telephone company switching station and a La Bou fast food restaurant. Now look east across Stockton and behold the monument to modern medicine that is the University of California, Davis Medical Center. The sprawling campus has it all: lush lawns, a rose garden, hospital towers, clinic buildings, parking structures, water fountains, the emergency room. Gurneys, elevators, operating rooms, MRIs. There s radiology, burn management, and surgery for everything from your eyes to your toenails. There s internal medicine and family practice. You can get care for you liver, k

Beyond diabetes there are psychiatric aspects of stroke, pain, substance abuse (particularly nicotine), asthma, heart disease, reproductive health, gastrointestinal illness, infectious disease, cancer, migraine. . . the list is huge. What can be done? Asking patients to cross Stockton Boulevard whenever they have a symptom or disease that affects both the mind and body will surely result in more than the occasional traffic accident. We need to move mental health out of the ghetto, reestablish good communication between mental health providers and the rest of the medical community, abolish insurance systems that isolate and stigmatize mental health care, and integrate mind health into medical school and residency programs (and I don t mean the oh-god-I-have-to-do-a-psych-rotation system currently in place). We have to reject the Cartesian fallacy that says that mind and body are separate: good medical care means treating the whole person. It s time to abandon the boulevard. Dr. R
