		<title>Learning ACT program cancelled!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you were planning to attend the &#8220;Learning ACT&#8221; training program, unfortunately I have had to cancel it due to insufficient enrolments.
This also means that the supervision group will not be meeting. 
There are no plans right now for the supervision group to be restarted (not by me anyway - if you want to run [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I ask clients, &#8220;How was it for you?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many clients wonder why I so frequently ask them questions about how the session was, whether we are on the right track, whether there&#8217;s anything I did or said that didn&#8217;t work for them, and so on. Some also wonder whether it&#8217;s really worth the effort to record their session ratings. (I use a session [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breastfeeding WILL make your child smarter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t written anything for some time, but this quote just really set me off:

Dr. Jonathan Gitlin, Roberson professor of pediatrics and genetics at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, says parents should turn their focus away from cultivating particular characteristics in their children.
&#8220;I advocate breastfeeding because it&#8217;s wonderful and a great bonding [...]]]></description>

		<title>How To Recover From Jet Lag In Two Days - Not Two Weeks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to University of Massachusetts mathematicians Tanya Leise and Hava Siegelmann, jet lag happens because different systems in the body have different circadian rhythms. For example, cells in your digestive system prepare for digestion at particular times of the day. Secretion of the sleep hormone melatonin is higher at night and lower during the day.

		<title>Imagine Freedom From Pain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Take a look at this article from MSNBC:
Placebo&#8217;s power goes beyond the mind
For years, scientists have looked at the placebo effect as a nuisance - just a figment of overactive patient imaginations. People who got a dummy medication as part of a clinical trial believed they were better, but really weren&#8217;t. But new research shows [...]]]></description>

		<title>A woman&#8217;s libido drops once she is in a secure relationship.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A woman&#8217;s sex drive begins to plummet once she is in a secure relationship, according to research. Researchers from Germany found that four years into a relationship, less than half of 30-year-old women wanted regular sex. Conversely, the team found a man&#8217;s libido remained the same regardless of how long he had been in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>At last! Why she says no when her body says yes.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes Virginia, women really do have different sexual arousal characteristics to men.
I found this article which explains what the differences are. Chivers and Bailey found that when women viewed films of animals having sex they reported no subjective feelings of sexual arousal. Nothing surprising there you say.
But the researchers had them hooked up to recording [...]]]></description>

		<title>Insomniacs: Wake Up To Yourselves!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;you&#8217;re getting more sleep than you think you are. Allison Harvey and Nicole Tang of Oxford University showed in one experiment that people with primary insomnia underestimate the total amount of sleep they get and overestimate how long it takes them to fall asleep. This suggests that maybe it&#8217;s not so much the amount of [...]]]></description>
