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 intense with the holidays coming soon. KUT’s Jennifer Stayton talked recently with Central Texas neuropsychotherapist Bella J. Rockman MA, LPC, LCDC-i  about that pressure to “couple up,” especially ahead of the holidays.

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 chatted with her recently over Zoom about what etiquette even means these days.

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? Well, that can be a very different story. KUT’s Jennifer Stayton talked recently with Central Texas neuropsychotherapist Bella J. Rockman about the phenomenon of “emotional age:”

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

A conversation with JRock and Anna Westbrook of Isabel and the Runaway Train

Junice Rockman defines toxic positivity as as overgeneralizing a happy outlook in a way that causes "denial, minimization and invalidation of authentic human experiences."

Recent events have laid bare that trauma and racism, though the systems that helped create and sustain them have been in place for centuries. Rockman says confronting and dismantling racism starts with understanding that the system has impacted everyone in different ways.

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 productive day today. 💛 Best, JRock

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 moment, breath with me. This is something you can use throughout the day or at the end of your day to clear debris or stress that has  accumulated.
