For many, knowledge of what is fair is taken for granted and not even thought about, but in therapy it can be a source of real questions. Clients wonder what life owes them and what they should give back. With dysfunctional families and trauma, children grow up with skewed ideas of what is fair and with double standards about what they owe to others and what is owed to them.

Scientists discovered a brain circuit that allows us to regulate voluntary breathing, which connects the brain's emotional and behavioral cortical area to its automatic breathing brainstem area. The findings provide a targetable area for slowing breathing in people with anxiety, panic disorders, or PTSD, in addition to explaining the efficacy of slowed, intentional breathing in mindfulness practices like yoga.

N ovember 19 th is the fiftieth anniversary of the suicide of my dearly beloved friend Geoffrey. He put a pistol into his mouth, pulled the trigger and thus brought an end to twelve years of psychiatric conversion therapy, an end to his pain, and an end to his life. He was twenty-eight years old. The happy and pleasurable union of two souls and two bodies is what poets call love.
