The days of When Harry Met Sally when you could marry your long-time best friend aren’t over, but they have taken a backseat to new ways of meeting online. Rules for relationships aren’t clear online and they need to be written in a way that is understandable. But Integrity, honesty and being upfront about who you are haven’t gone out of style though, and when things get rough more couples are going to therapy in real life. And because media always keeps up with real life, you can catch celebrities working it out on the air in Couples Therapy. So why is everyone using therapy to help their relationships?

Why do people like Hillary Clinton Love Watching HGTV?

Of all of the magazines that I have in my waiting room at my psychology practice, HGTV is the one that everyone reads! And the HGTV channels are the ones that everyone watches because they can they can lose themselves in a sea of possibilities. Many Pinterest pages are really about decorating and home projects, as these topics are very appealing to a large number of people.

Is YouTube a Good Idea for Toddlers?

March 6, 2017 by Nancy Mramor Kajuth Ph.D.

Originally appeared in the Los Angeles Times

Los Angeles Times reporter David Pierson and I looked at why preschoolers like YouTube and whether it is good for them. And it is hard to avoid. While TV time can be limited, if your youngster has an iPad, then they have access to TV through YouTube all the time. Those who have never seen TV may be familiar with Hannah Montana in any case.

“The family and learning space is incredibly important to YouTube and one that is continuing to grow,” said Malik Ducard, YouTube’s global head of family and learning. And a quick review of the YouTube toddlers’ options proved that the same preschool shows that are available on TV are also on YouTube. Kids can meet Big Bird on Sesame Street.

December 12, 2016 by Nancy Mramor Kajuth Ph.D.

Helping Our Children Feel Safe in a Changing World.

What they learn about the world comes largely through media. So…

Watch news with your children and help them understand what they are seeing. Create awareness of how events are presented and what they mean.
Teach children about political bias and how it works. Children who view media with parents, and even teachers, have a much greater understanding of what is presented. https://drnancyonline.com/wpbhdpolitical-bias-why-to-avoid-it-and-how-you-can/
Try to help your children keep an open mind about media news and become conscious viewers! The topic of viewing media consciously is addressed in Get Reel: Produce Your Own Life. https://drnancyonline.com/wpbhdproduct/get-reel-produce-life/

First, let me start out by saying that this article contains no bias. Second, I will venture to say that those who read it may find it biased in one direction or another. Third, I would ask you to notice that while there was no intentional bias, that your perception of bias is something that may alert you to your “perceptual filter.” It is that filter that hears things in a certain way, based on your ideas and experiences that is different than how is is actually said or meant. And it drives your life.

Are You Sabotaging Your Own Happiness?

Glow-magazine-cover Stop waiting to reach all of your goals, make lots of money, be healthier or have more friends! The truth is in the small things that you do every day. Science tells us that it’s your daily habits from your morning ritual to your daily coffee break that will make or break your smile!

Habits structure our daily lives and define how we feel. So unhealthy habits such as fast-food drive through break or a gossip break will prompt a swing away from good feelings. It may feel good at the time, but very shortly, the good feelings will predictably fade. When your values and your goals are supported by your habits, you will simply be happier! Here are a few ways to create healthy habits that I shared with Kerrie Lee Brown at Canada’s Glow Magazine and many more ideas from the research to help you create happiness.

Women’s Health and Men’s Health Magazines’ De-stressing Tips with Dr. Nancy

May 17, 2016 by Nancy Mramor Kajuth Ph.D.

When Men’s Health asked for vacation and relationship de-stressing tips, I offered these ideas that you can use right now!

Vacations work well when you are not too tightly scheduled or too unscheduled.
If you pick some activities, restaurants, and tours in advance and then leave time for serendipity or relaxation, you’ll have a less stressful trip.
And once you are there, ask the locals what are the best things to do; you may end up at a great local gelato shop instead of a tourist trap.

In the relationship arena, they asked about the stress of the spouse’ job and how it effects the marriage. When a woman (or a man) comes home from a job they dislike, they may often want to vent to their partner. But is the daily venting good for the person or the marriage?
