In two studies, a typical awe experience was associated not only with awe, but with compassion, gratitude, love, and optimism, along with connectedness and self-relevant thoughts Awe is a complex emotional construct characterized by a mix of positive (contentment, happiness), and negative affective components (fear and a sense of being smaller, humbler or insignificant) Humility is a foundational virtue that counters selfish inclinations such as entitlement and arrogance. When individuals encounter an entity that is vast and challenges their worldview, they feel awe, which leads to self-diminishment and subsequently humility. In support of these Awe-prone individuals were rated as more humble by friends Inducing awe led participants to present a more balanced view of their strengths and weaknesses to others and acknowledge the contribution of outside forces in their own personal accomplishments What is awe inspiring? Try to see the world through a child’s eyes (planetarium, museum, nature walk) Seek it out in person, media or VR. Journal about it: 10 minutes of awe during the day and 10 minutes of positive focus at night.

Limbic System Components  Hypothalamus regulates many autonomic processes (HPA, HPT, HPG axes)\  It receives input from the vagus nerve which modulates the gut-brain axis  The vagus nerve is the main component of the parasympathetic nervous system which controls mood, immune response, digestion, and heart rate. It establishes one of the connections between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract and sends information to the brain about the state of inner organs/physical health.  Vagal tone is correlated with ability to regulate stress responses and can be influenced by breathing.  Vagal tone can be improved through meditation and yoga which assists in the mitigation of mood and anxiety symptoms. Limbic System Components  Hypothalamus  Has one of the highest densities of cytokine receptors which are stimulated by the HPA-Axis  It also interacts with the pituitary gland to influence the endocrine system, via the adrenal glands (HPA), thyroid glands (HPT) and gonads (HPG) in order to regulate hormones and neurotransmitters.  Hypothalamic neurons originate in the nose and respond to pheromones as well as other scents by sending a signal to the pituitary gland to which communicates with the adrenal glands, gonads and thyroid gland.  Synthesizes vasopressin and oxytocin (both involved in bonding and social behavior) Limbic System Components  Amygdala  Acutely involved in fear processing and initiation of the fear response  Triggers the HPA-Axis related with a number of emotional processes  It plays a primary role in processing of memories and the formation and storage of memories associated with emotional events and responses including fear, anxiety, and aggression  May be overactive in people with anxiety or PTSD  Hippocampus  Is connected to the amygdala  Assists with learning and emotional memory formation  Thalamus  Is a “relay station” of sorts involved in sensory processing and adapting cognitive maps  Also involved in regulation of circadian rhythms Pituitary Gland  Located behind your nose and attached to the hypothalamus  The pituitary gland and adrenals both synthesize inflammatory cytokines which amplify and maintain elevated HPA activity during chronic inflammation  Influences the release of growth and thyroid hormones, gonadal hormones, estrogen, testosterone and oxytocin, human growth hormone, and endorphins AllCEUs courses for counselor continuing education are accepted in most states because we are an approved education provider for NAADAC, the States of Florida and Texas Boards of Social Work and Mental Health/Professional Counseling, the California Consortium for Addiction Professionals and Professions, the Australian Counselling Association CRCC, Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and more.

HIV Awareness and Screening Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes PhD, LPC-MHSP AllCEUs Counselor Education Objectives ~ Review current knowledge reference HIV awareness and screening HIV Awareness ~ An estimated 1.1 million people in the United States have the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and approximately 1 in 7 (nearly 15%) are unaware of their status ~ Studies show that a people with HIV have a similar life expectancy to HIV- people provided they are diagnosed early, have good medical care, and adhere to their HIV treatment ~ From 2014 to 2018, HIV diagnoses decreased 7% among adults and adolescents ~ HIV can be transmitted by sexual contact, sharing needles, mother to baby during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding ~ According to the CDC, there is a very low risk of contracting HIV from oral sex Stages of HIV Infection ~ Seroconversion is the brief illness people may experience soon after they contract HIV. During this time they are most infectious ~ The asymptomatic stage of HIV occurs once seroconversion is over and can last for several years. ~ Symptomatic HIV occurs when the immune system succumbs to opportunistic infections and cancers ~ Late stage HIV occurs when the disease has caused a lot of damage to the immune system HIV & Opportunistic Infections & Cancer ~ Main risk factors for most cancers HIV & Opportunistic Infections & Cancer ~ Main protective factors for most infections ~ Handwashing ~ Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth ~ Cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough ~ Social distancing from strangers and people who are sick ~ Wearing a mask ~ Vaccinations (HPV, Flu, COVID, Shingles) ~ Early intervention and treatment ~ Regularly wipe down frequently touched objects HIV Awareness ~ By achieving and maintaining an undetectable (less than 200 copies/mL) viral load, people with HIV can remain healthy for many years. ~ ART is now recommended for all people with HIV, regardless of CD4 count ~ Evidence from the PARTNER1 and PARTNER2 study indicate that the likelihood of passing on HIV is linked to the amount of the virus in the blood. ~ PEP or post exposure prophylaxis (for 28 days) can be started up to 72 hours after exposure to HIV Types of Tests ~ Nucleic Acids Test identifies the virus in the blood (10-33 days post exposure) ~ Antigen/antibody test looks for evidence of exposure(antibodies) and antigens (p24) which are produced before antibodies are developed (18-45 days post exposure) ~ Antibody test look for antibodies in blood or saliva (23-90 days after an exposure) ~ The oral fluid antibody self-test provides results within 20 min. ~ With a rapid antibody screening test, usually done with blood from a finger prick or with oral fluid, results are ready in 30 min. Results ~ Negative results do not necessarily mean you do not have HIV because of the window and false negatives especially from user error in home tests ~ Negative results only mean you are negative and are not reflective of your partner’s status even if you have engaged in high-risk behaviors with that person. ~ Positive results need to be confirmed by a second test, even if the first test was done at the doctor’s office.

Access additional benefits by JOINING here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAE3JJi8tX7gfhZEXCUGd_A/join Gaslighting is the act of manipulating a person by forcing them to question their thoughts and the events occurring around them and is a form of emotional abuse A victim of gaslighting can be pushed so far that they question their own sanity and develop clinical depression and anxiety because they feel unsafe, and powerless. To gain power/control/money To do or get away with something they want Very common behavior among people with antisocial or narcissistic personality disorder and people with addictions Note: People with antisocial and narcissistic personality disorder have very little (if any) empathy. Think Ted Bundy. Tell blatant lies (No proof/ No basis in fact) Deny something is true or that they said something, EVEN when the victim has proof Creates fears and insecurities about other things (i.e. safety or goodness) to prevent the victim from looking at the gaslighting behavior Will manipulate things to make it appear the victim is crazy or simply tell them they are wrong and dismiss their concerns They align others against the victim finding people who won’t question their version of reality even calling the victim crazy Use things the victim cherishes as ammunition (kids, identity, freedom) They wear the victim down --- repeating the same lies and manipulations and getting others to repeat the same lies until the victim just doesn’t have the energy to fight and gives in to their “superior knowledge” Their actions do not match their words. Example: They say they want a good relationship, but regularly insult the victim and do whatever they want irrespective of the victim’s wishes. They throw in occasional reinforcement, giving a compliment or feigning to take the victims perspective for a moment, to make themselves appear as “good” Symptoms of victims Being more anxious and less confident than you used to be Feeling angry and powerless Hopelessness and anhedonia (depression) Feeling like everything you do is wrong and believing it’s your fault when things go wrong Apologizing often even for things you don’t believe are your fault. Feeling something’s wrong, but being unable to identify what it is Often questioning whether your response is appropriate (e.g., Wondering if you were too unreasonable) Isolating to avoid confrontation Finding it increasingly hard to make decisions Focus on what you CAN change (PACER) to create safety and empowerment Physical Safety Sleep Nutrition Avoiding addictive behaviors Physical health Affective Do things that help you feel happy Acknowledge anxiety and anger nonjudgmentally and respond with TOWARD thoughts and behaviors that use your energy purposefully Focus on what you CAN change (PACER) Cognitive Practice hardiness Focus on authenticity not approval Find the facts / collect evidence to help you confirm the truth for your own sanity Give yourself permission to feel your feelings Let go of the wish for things to be different Environmental Seek safety Surround yourself with support Eliminate things in the environment that trigger your anxiety Focus on what you CAN change (PACER) Relational Develop healthy detachment / good boundaries You cannot control anyone’s opinion, even if you are right. Don’t debate what is true Be assertive and refuse to tolerate being yelled at or called names (if it is safe…otherwise seek safety) Recognize the gaslighter will never admit responsibility or openly consider the facts. (Doing so would mean they had to admit wrongdoing)
