April is poetry month, which is as good an excuse as any to share a poem I wrote called “Chipped China Cup” and some thoughts I have about it. I love poems because they concentrate truth, bare emotion, and support insight.

Holistic healthcare’s price tag can be difficult to afford for a lot of people. The question that comes up at times in my practice is: “What are the basic must-haves that I need to help me move in the right direction?”

In order to be a holistic psychiatrist, I had to walk in my patients’ shoes. I needed the power, insight, and determination that only compassion could provide.
