Prescribing = Art + Science
Safe, optimized approach to prescribing:
Minimum effective medication dosing and quantities for all medications
Effective alternatives to controlled substances for anxiety, insomnia, post-traumatic stress, and attention-deficit disorders
Working with outside clinicians to coordinate prescribing strategies, and to eliminate medication interactions, redundancies, and polypharmacy
Avoiding combining controlled substances
Controlled substance contracts
Human = Animal + Chaos
Integrative approach to therapy:
Encouraging authenticity, humility, and self-awareness
Promoting action, change, and growth—not just talk
Leveraging patient strengths, skills, and creativity to manage illness, distress, and dysfunction
Helping identify distorted thought and behavioral patterns inducing pain, distress, and dysfunction
Appreciating humans as conditioned animals with lived experience attempting to function in chaotic, unnatural modern environments, and circumstances
Promote catharsis, acceptance, and resolution
