Many people suffer from insomnia and/or difficulty sleeping, even more so when we can be subjected to stress, anxiety, or simply due to bad sleeping habits such as looking at the phone when we are already in bed or watching television until late at night. But surely at some point, we have all fallen asleep listening to some music in the background or we have witnessed how when humming a song to a child, they fall asleep almost immediately and this is due to the peace that our body perceives when it hears a melody.

Music has a therapeutic effect since it is capable of releasing chemicals in our brain that allow us to feel relaxed and happy. When we listen to music the nervous system is cleansed and the body relaxes, making us feel freer, for this reason, some disciplines are accompanied by music to help the body enter a state of calm, such as yoga and meditations, or even when we go to a gym we listen to more animated music so that our body understands in some way that it is time to activate and emit the energy that is necessary, that is why it has been shown that people who listen to soft and relaxing melodies before going to sleep can rest much better.

Music can be an important factor in the attitude of each person, depending on how we feel at a certain moment, we want to listen to a specific rhythm or even if we are not in the best mood we can resort to the music of our liking and raise our energies.

Due to the positive effect that music gives us, it is a highly recommended method when we suffer from insomnia to listen to a soft melody, since it allows us to enter a state of peace, putting aside worries and offering us a space to imagine pleasant thoughts and get to sleep.

In this episode, Dr. Carmen will be talking about relaxing music and the effect on people with Pablo Arellano, who is a composer and pianist who has participated in the direction of more than 8 films and in the production of more than 50 albums, Healing music creator and star of the Insight Timer platform.

The feeling of insecurity is usually a mix of uneasiness, fear, and nervousness that are triggered by multiple situations or thoughts that make us feel vulnerable or inferior to others.

For example, the feeling of insecurity can attack us when we think our beauty, intelligence, or situation in life is way worst than our friend's.

Insecurity can be normal in small doses, however, when it persists for a long period of time and it interrupts your daily activities and thoughts, it is time to seek help.

Getting rid of this excessive insecurity will help you achieve things that you surely have always wanted to do, without the burden of thinking that your knowledge, beauty, or skills are not enough.

In this episode, Dr. Carmen interviews Ali Psiuk, LMFT, who will tell us where the feeling of insecurity comes from, how can we overpower it, and when we should seek help.

Ali Psiuk LMFT is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who supports individuals and partners to improve the quality of their relationships and their lives. She is also a coaching consultant and provides mental health evaluations for those seeking asylum. She is licensed by the state of California and has a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and has a concentration in Somatic Psychology.

What are we talking about?

• Where does the feeling of insecurity come from?
• What are some common causes of insecurity?
• Steps to create resilience
• Healthy models we can follow
• Learning to manage strong emotions
• Insecurity can be healthy too, sometimes.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are going to be celebrating Thanksgiving, please remember to be socially responsible and follow the health rules for this specific global situation.

What is something you are grateful for this year?

Putting aside all the bad things we've been through this year, there are still a lot of things we can be grateful for. Like for example, we have learned to be patient, we have taken old hobbies and made time for them. We have also learned to be more grateful in general.

But there is still a lot of room for improvement in our life.

And now that we are so close to celebrating Thanksgiving, it is a good time to reflect on how we can make ourselves better while helping others grow too.

This little story makes us reflect on the way we act and how many times we assume that everyone has the same knowledge or privilege we've been lucky enough to have in our lives.
