		<description><![CDATA[Do you lie awake at night hashing over and over the things you messed up? Do you worry so much about what could go wrong in the future that you can’t seem to move forward? Or maybe you can’t let go of something someone said to you, and the more you think about it, the worse you feel about yourself.

This constant cycle of negative thinking is called rumination. It could be commonly confused, and even dismissed as feelings of worry. But ruminating and worrying are different because a ruminator not only worries about her problems, she worries about all her feelings about her problems, and is not able to develop strategies to solve her problems.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent blog post from a pediatrician, which was also mentioned on the New York Times' “Motherlode” blog, addressed the question“What do I do if my chubby kids say they are hungry?” Dr. Meeker raised some valid points in her post—what to do about your child eating too much food and why it’s important to set limits on screen time and provide easy access to healthy foods, among other things.

But Dr. Meeker may have provided some misguided recommendations when suggesting how to talk to children about their feelings of hunger. How we talk to our kids about hunger and help them understand it is not as simple as one may think. In fact, more harm than good might happen when people charge in and take total control over a child’s hunger without considering the child’s feelings, self-esteem or how the child thinks of herself.

		<description><![CDATA[The latest string of bad economic news – long-term unemployment at record high levels, more  foreclosures and few new jobs being created – spells continuing stress for many Americans and is contributing to their gloomy outlook about the economy. As a clinical psychologist, some of my patients tell me they feel like the folks who were trying to cap the oil spill in the Gulf--each day feels more disheartening and more overwhelming than the last. Being out of control to fix one's life can quickly lead to anxiety, and even clinical depression, if left untreated.

		<description><![CDATA[The ongoing recession has been tough on all Americans, but new data suggests men are especially being hit hard, both physically and psychologically. The unemployment rate for men is higher than for women, and men stay unemployed longer. Men account for 60 percent of the long-term unemployed, people who have been out of work for more than six months.]]></description>
