Healthcare workers have given more to our society in the past year than any other time in our lifetime, but at what cost? In some cases, it has been too great. They have been pushed to the limit, and their physical and emotional health has been impacted severely in many cases. As a result, many wonderful and capable healthcare professionals are leaving the profession. This article below shows some of the impact that healthcare workers are now experiencing. As both a ...speech pathologist and life coach, I am passionate about helping healthcare workers. They are "my people." Let me help you find your balance and establish a solid self-care practice so you can avoid burnout and refill your own tank. If you are ready to put some focus on yourself and see your needs as important as your patient's (because they are), please call Speak Your Peace today. https://www.bodylinkspeechtherapy.com #selfcare #lifecoach #nyc #slp #bodylinkspeechtherapy

If you are a person with stuttering, your experience of the pandemic might be different than people who don't. Take a listen to this interview in which multiple people who stutter describe how the pandemic has affected their communication skills. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w172x2t7mylkk44 #stuttering #speechtherapy

I have worked in all these settings. Great overview of what speech pathologists do for those who think we only correct speech sounds. I would certainly add orofacial myofunctional therapy to this list as well.

Happy Birthday to the amazing actor, James Earl Jones. He is a wonderful example of a person with stuttering who pursued his dream and flourished in his career. Never doubt this is possible.

These are not conclusive findings, and much more study is needed, but this article offers food for thought regarding possible treatments for stuttering in the future. https://www.theatlantic.com//09/why-people-stutter/616111/

This article illustrates very clearly why risk of COVID transmission may be significantly higher in poorly ventilated or windowless spaces. There is no guarantee that an office buidling's HVAC system will offer protection, even with HEPA filters running in individual offices. Bodylink Speech Therapy remains open for online visits only due to these risks. https://www.nytimes.com//opinion/coronavirus-aerosols.html

The last 3 months have been a balancing act for everyone, and we hope you are all staying safe. Bodylink Speech Therapy remains open for virtual visits, so please let us know how we can help. When in person visits can be scheduled again, we will let you know!

We often have times where we go into fear and anxiety which greatly stresses the body. Currently, the world is dealing with the pandemic known as COVID-19, or the Corona virus. Because this is affecting everything--health, livelihood, education to name a few--fear is an understandable response. Still, it is not sustainable if we are to retain our balance and our health. Emotional Freedom Technique, or "tapping" can help get you out of fight or flight and calm the amygdala (reptilian brain). I hope you find this video helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AmQ9ORSNds&t=13s
