Prescribing = Arrow + Target

Optimized approach to prescribing:

• Minimum effective dosing and quantities

• Safer alternatives to controlled substances for anxiety, insomnia, post-traumatic stress, and attention-deficit disorders

• Coordinate prescribing strategies with your providers in order to eliminate medication interactions, redundancies, and polypharmacy

• Avoiding combining controlled substances

• Controlled substance contracts

Human = Animal + Chaos

Integrative approach to psychotherapy:

• Trauma-informed therapy modalities include cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, interpersonal, humanistic, and psychoeducational.

• Encouraging authenticity, humility, and self-awareness

• Promoting action, change, and growth — not just talk

• Leveraging strengths, skills, and creativity to manage illness, distress, and dysfunction

• Identifying physiologic, thought, and behavioral patterns which are inducing and preserving pain, distress, and dysfunction

• Appreciating humans as conditioned animals with lived experience attempting to function in chaotic, unnatural modern environments, and circumstances

• Promoting catharsis, acceptance, and resolution
