I joined ILKB-Great Neck in order to lose weight and strengthen up post-chemo. I was scared at first because I wasn't sure if I could handle it, but the instructors at Great Neck are so encouraging and make sure you get in a great work out. They make working out fun! Even with a full class, they come around and help you better your technique. I've been going for about three months now and not only have I lost weight and toned up, I'm also getting stronger and more energized. Joining ILKB-Great Neck has been one of my best decisions ever! ...read more

While the media and most people are focusing on holiday cheer, parties, gifts, family, etc. Many people experience this time of year as a downer. For some it's an anniversary of loss reminding them of either people who have passed away or losses by divorse or estrangement.

The idea is to try not to get lost in them. Some practical suggestions would be to stay active: -exercise, take a walk even if it is cold, it'll do you wonders -call friends, relatives, and make plans to get together -if you don't have supports or noone close, go to a place of meaning to you, community center, church, synagogue, etc. -do something for the less fortunate. Donate clothing, volunteer in a soup kitchen. -realize this time will pass and you will feel better! If depressed feelings continue seek help.

I have found in my years of practicing Psychotherapy, that often people have difficulty as the result of patterns that they developed early in life to survive and adapt.

This unacceptibility to themself of this pattern often facilitates change. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity for better more fulfilling relationships and improved self-esteem. ...read more
