Comments

Executive Functions are complex cognitive processes that we need for social, goal directed and efficient behavior:
•    Inhibition
•    Emotional Regulation
•    Working Memory
•    Self Monitoring
•    Flexibility
•    Planning

It helps us:

•    Remembering the instructions (working memory)
•    Finishing task within given time (planning & self-monitoring)
•    Think of solution when confronted with a problem (flexibility)
•    Staying focused despite external distractions (inhibition) 
•    Check work on possible mistakes before handing it over (self- monitoring) 
•    Remember the steps when solving a math calculation (working memory) 
•    Being on time for the school bus (time management)

​Sex is important in a marriage as it is an expression of the intimacy of the relationship - you cannot get any closer physically to another person.  Good sex is very much interrelated with intimate trust, friendship, and conversations that create emotional connection.  Evidence is very clear that if people feel good about sex, they feel good about their relationship in general.  Research has shown that in marriage, sexual satisfaction is related to relationship satisfaction, stability and love commitment.  When sex is non-existent, it has a significant impact on the relationship.

Post Natal Depression

5/1/2017

Comments

​​All mums experience an intense emotional and physical transformation during pregnancy and the first year of a baby’s life, but for a significant proportion of us, this can lead on to full blown depression and anxiety and for a very small number, postnatal psychosis. The Baby Blues are a common expression for what happens to approximately 80% of all mums around the third to tenth day after birth. Because it is so common and temporary, we do not associate the Baby Blues as being a mental illness, but rather a natural state that is sure to pass once we settle into our new role as mothers. Symptoms include exhaustion, tearfulness, mood fluctuations, anxiety and irritability. Baby blues is thought to occur as a result of hormonal changes during pregnancy, the labour, breast feeding and lack of sleep.
