OCD May Stem From Birth Trauma

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Positive Parenting, Uncategorized / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study (published in JAMA Psychiatry Oct 5, 2016) reveals that the more stressful the birth is on the baby, the higher the risk that baby has for developing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) decades later. Children who were born prematurely and children who experienced stress during delivery both had statistically significant increases in the rates of developing OCD during adolescence and young adulthood. Stressful birth circumstances included: maternal smoking during pregnancy, cesarean section delivery, preterm birth, low APGAR scores, unusually low or high birth weight, breech presentation at labor and more. The Study: Researchers looked at a 2.4 …

The Quickest Way To Heal Is To Surrender, Here’s How

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

Surrendering is safe. Working intuitively with patients all over the globe, I’ve learned a lot about loss, grief and healing. I can say for a fact that what heals people in real life contrasts quite vividly to what I *learned* about grief and healing in med school. I still remember being in medical school and learning all about the classic model of the grief process, set forth by the amazing and brave Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: D A B D A (I’m sure many of my readers, who are also healers, are familiar with this acronym:) meaning: D â€” denial …

Do Not Give Up… Just Surrender. Surrender = Healing

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

This past week I was working intensely with several patients on the idea that surrender is sometimes the most healing, empowering, strengthening healing option possible. Sometimes… to surrender IS to heal. Sharing with my patients why SURRENDER = HEALING reminded me of this blog post I wrote last year, and I had a nudge to re post it again today. Maybe you are the reader I felt that nudge for. Maybe when life overwhelms you and cracks you open and forces your surrender, you are the one that I’m meant to remind today: surrendering is safe. The very …

How I Felt My Way Through A Crisis

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

This blog post is a long one. An intimate one. One where I share exactly how I found my way towards Well Being and how YOU CAN TOO. The blog post was inspired by a video I shared on my FB page that got a hugely positive response. Healing isn’t something that most people talk about. Most people talk about disease, treatments, techniques, supplements, prescriptions, operations, adjustments, herbs… all things that counter balance and treat disease. There are sooooo many options out there, and ALL OF THEM can lead you to a healing path — all of them — …

And yet, through this journey Michael feels alive, he feels love, and he understands more deeply than most of us that emotions are all interconnected… and …
