Tis’ the Season: Navigating the Pressures of Relationships & Holiday Dating This time of the year – in addition to being the holidays – is also known as “cuffing season.” It is a time of the year when single people look to connect in shorter-term relationships to get through the holidays and colder winter months. It unofficially runs from October through about Valentine’s Day. But it can feel more...

Summer is a busy time for weddings, especially in June. And especially the Austin, Texas area – even in this heat! Weddings have a lot of customs and behavioral expectations attached to them – etiquette if you will. And that got Central Texas Neuropsychotherapist, LPC, Bella J. Rockman thinking about good manners and behavior – in a time when it can seem in short supply. KUT’s Jennifer Stayton cha...

Graduation is a rite of passage for people usually around 18 years old or so. That’s chronological age. But what about our “emotional age” – how we have developed and matured emotionally?

How to process grief in a year filled with loss (and what not to say to those grieving, too)

One year into the pandemic, Junice Rockman says there are ways to maintain balance in the midst of so much turmoil.

Junice speaks on KUT Austin: "The problem becomes when we have overly packed ourselves for an extended period of time.... We've overridden that internal GPS that we all have and overridden those boundaries that perhaps we have or don't have."

Junice has guest Therapist, Charlie Cale, from the Austin Center for Grief & Loss, join the podcast to address redefining grief and loss-- understanding that it's ageless-- as well as identifying tools to get through it and support those going through it.

Certified Health Coach and Owner of Genesis Healing Center, Brenda Lee talks with Neuropsychologist, Junice Rockman, about the effects of food on the mind and body

Did you know that stress, tension and even trauma can become trapped in your body, in the central nervous system and at a cellular level? Even for experiences and stressors that you don't have words for, THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE, as author @thebodykeepsthescore Bessel Vanderkolk writes about. In fact, OUR BODIES CAN EVEN TAKE ON THE SHAPE OF OUR BELIEFS as @geneenroth says. Create a peaceful and p...

Deep breathing immediately relaxes the body because it stimulates the vagus nerve, which runs from the neck to the abdomen and turns off the ‘fight or flight’ reflex.  Also, stimulating the vagus nerve activates your relaxation response, reducing your heart rate and blood pressure. Deep breathing activates the vagus nerve enough that it acts as a "brake" on the stress response.  Take a m...

Can you take 1 day to release the need to judge anyone or anything around you... including yourself???  We live in a world that is filled with criticism, condemnation, and judgment. From politics, to religion and social ideals we seem to be living in a “war of the words”.
