How Not to Catch Free Floating Anxieties
by Mrs. Freud The first time I heard it during psychology training I thought that the term “free floating anxiety” sounded like something one could catch – like a cold.

Rental Car Insurance
It’s probably safe to say that most of us have been there before. You’ve just gotten off of a long flight, and you’re ready to start your vacation. The rental car shuttle has just dropped you off at the counter, and after the tedious search to confirm your reservation, you get the following question: “Would […]
Metals, Medicines and Quackery
For Halloween and Day of the Dead, we like to access scary scenarios to entertain ourselves. Here is a one that gives me chills: “quackery.” But first, let’s get some context.

Day Trip Getaway
by Aubree Lynn, Producer/Stylist My mission for this particular article is to encourage day trip getaways and or staycations. We, the working class folks, have busy lives.

A Changing World, the Weather and You
by Mrs. Freud Time is moving faster and harder. Even the weather is not like it used to be. Kids don´t know how to behave anymore. Politicians: don´t even get me started. No matter how difficult times seem today, compared to yesterday, we always have our psychological perspective of what’s occurring. In any given time […]
Thank You Mr. President
The President of the United States went on television to publicly attest to his feelings of what it is like to be a black man in America. Whatever your politics, you must admit this is a brave thing to do. It’s been my impression that President Obama wants us to think of him as a […]
Between the Lines: summertime, and the living is easy…
Summer reading, also called beach reading or vacation reading, used to signify mindless entertainment, flipping sandy, salty, sticky pages while adrift on a sea of leisure. Now, though, it’s broader, more symbolic of unencumbered time to read purely for pleasure. For some that might be the latest thriller or romance—a page-turner that will captivate the […]
