Mindful eating is not a diet, or about giving up anything at all. It’s about experiencing food more intensely — especially the pleasure of it. You can eat a cheeseburger mindfully, if you wish. You might enjoy it a lot more. Or you might decide, halfway through, that your body has had enough. Or that it really needs some salad.
Explore What’s Next offers psychotherapy, counseling, personal & executive coaching. We provide services for adults, couples, children, adolescents & families in a style that is compassionate, direct, and non-judgmental. Our approach is collaborative to maximize your counseling experience.

Hello Dr., I am a 57 year old, divorced (was married 17yrs),mom & Seamstress. I came upon your article searching for help w how to deal w being my families “Scapegoat” for years now! My Best friend of 10+yrs now had a long talk w me last nigh, explaining to me that I need to pull alway from them & the toxicity they inflict upon me. Yesterday, what was supposed to be a joyous start to spending the week w my dying mother out by my brothers in Springfield IL turned out to be text after text reminding me of what a loser I am & how tired my 3 siblings r of my excuses. All this negativity over being 1/2hr off schedule. So I will be dirt for the next 2-3mo’s, shut out, ridiculed & left feeling very down & alone! Even tho I had picked my mom up, weekend prior, took her out to visit my son & his new wife & their new puppy, a Corgy! Then brought her back to my place to spend the night & next day together b4 I took her back to assisted living. I live at my best friends home w her 2 disabled children, I feel like they are more my true family then my blood family. Of course, even after refinishing my entire room to accommodate my mom I still am a POS in my siblings eyes. If I could walk on water I Still would Never make them happy. Even being disabled myself I push myself to be the best person I can be & in my heart I Love myself for the 1st time ever! God Blessed me w a second chance @ life after my near death experience 6 yrs ago. I don’t want to waste such a precious gift on allowing my siblings to treat me so awfully!
So I continue to Thank God every morning for my life & keep pushing on towards my goals! Thank you for your Article on being the family Scapegoat. Which I No Longer will be because I’m no longer allowing them to!
Love & Blessings,
Laura Meyer
