FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: A Positive Psychologist Suggests Magic Potions that We All Need This Time of Year

Ocean, NJ – January, 2003:  Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Positive Psychologist in private practice in New Jersey, originator of THE ENCHANTED SELF (R), a method of helping you attain well-being, joy and happiness, shares some ‘magic’ in a feature article for Whispers Online Magazine at http://www.cyberpathway.com/whispers/image7.htm

Individual mental health formulas designed for each of us, can help us through winter.  The 'magic' comes in learning how to self-diagnose so that each of us can rekindle interests, strengths, hopes and dreams that can lift our spirits and motivate.  As we explore our own memories we get in touch with many positive aspects of ourselves that can be rewoven into the present.

Whispers will host Part One of this article in the January issue.  Part Two will be in the February issue.  Whispers is a large online magazine for women, covering many topics.  It is an “interesting magazine for interesting women” sharing articles on Food, Home, Finance, Computing, Romance, Travel and A&E.  Whispers Online Magazine hosts a chat area, a forum and a newsletter list.  It provides a wonderful online resource on most topics benefiting women.

Dr. Holstein appears in many websites, including www.ladybuglive.com, www.sfpnn.com, www.the-bright-side.org, www.singlemomz.com and more.

Dr. Holstein has been a psychologist in private practice since 1981.  Through the practice that she shares with her husband, Dr. Russell Holstein, they have created a long overdue shift in psychology by emphasizing “what's right with us, rather than what's wrong”.

The Enchanted Self concepts stem from a culmination of over ten years of work and research in the field of personal enchantment by Dr. Holstein.  She teaches us how to recall positive memories, regardless of our history, recognize our potential, and bring into our lives more of what gives us pleasure and joy.  This is all combined with daily positive actions.
