Eating Recovery Center Offers Guidance to Help Individuals Avoid Eating Disorders Relapse

International treatment center encourages four strategies for living a life of recovery

Denver, CO, February 20, 2013 – Tens of millions of Americans struggle with eating disorders, including a growing population of baby boomers, adolescents and children. For individuals in recovery from these complex illnesses, a frightening reality is the possibility of eating disorders relapse. In fact, a 2005 study in the European Eating Disorders Review found that more than one-third of individuals who have struggled with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa will experience an eating disorders relapse in the first two and a half years after leaving a treatment center.

With National Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2013 taking place next week, February 24-March 2, Eating Recovery Center, an international center providing comprehensive treatment for eating disorders, seeks to highlight the skills and support structures that help men, women and children live a life of recovery. Recognizing that the hardest work of recovery often begins upon returning to “real life” following intensive eating disorders treatment, Eating Recovery Center offers these four strategies to help individuals protect their health and avoid eating disorders relapse.

1. Remain actively engaged with the aftercare plan. Discharge planning and the development of a recovery-focused post-treatment strategy are critical in creating sustainable recoveries and preventing relapse. These individualized aftercare plans are created by licensed therapists who work closely with a patient’s treatment team to identify emotional, behavioral and situational discharge challenges, and outline personal and recovery-focused goals.

2. Develop a strong supportive network. Friends, family and colleagues who have been educated about eating disorders and understand how to support a loved one in his or her recovery can be very helpful in sustaining recovery. Many individuals find a strong recovery-focused community through the alumni programming offered by many treatment centers. These programs generally provide ongoing education, events and a sense of community to support a life of eating disorders recovery.

3. Identify values and pursue valued life directions. Values not only serve as a compass for people’s lives, but also help individuals with eating disorders understand why change is necessary and pursue that change, even when it feels overwhelmingly difficult. Not surprisingly, identifying values and valued life directions are key components of the eating disorders recovery process. Taking time to be in touch with values and align thoughts and actions with valued life directions can help sustain recovery, even in times of stress or challenges.

4. Seek help. Sustainable recoveries do not just happen. Individuals and families in recovery from eating disorders must work diligently to protect and maintain a healthy weight and body image. The need for additional support – through support groups, outpatient therapy or an intensive treatment program – does not indicate failure, but rather underscores an ongoing commitment to doing whatever it takes to sustain eating disorders recovery.

“By nature, individuals with eating disorders tend to be perfectionistic and high achieving—they like to do things right, and they like to be the best at their endeavors,” explains Julie Holland, MHS, CEDS, chief marketing officer at Eating Recovery Center. “Their approach to recovery is generally no different, and patients often struggle to understand that life without an eating disorder looks different for every individual and there is no ‘right’ or ‘perfect’ way to live a life of recovery. In addition to developing recovery skills and implementing effective support systems, patients must also accept that challenges are likely to arise and understand that they have not failed even if recovery lapses occur.”

Veritas Prep Announces a More Effective Way for Students to Master SAT Vocabulary with iPhone App

New app introduces three powerful learning techniques to help students maximize their SAT scores

Malibu, CA, February 19, 2013 – High school students have a new choice when it comes to mastering SAT vocabulary. Veritas Prep today announced the availability of a new free app, called SAT Vocabulary by Veritas Prep to make learning common SAT level words easier. The app allows students to play games, take quizzes and master important vocabulary words through memory retrieval instead of memorization, all on their iPhone. The SAT Vocabulary app is a complement to the other free online SAT prep resources offered by Veritas Prep.

The iPhone app includes stimulating features that will keep students engaged on the path to success. Features include:

* An innovative scoring system that helps students track their progress toward becoming a “master of vocab”

* A database of over 500 commonly used SAT level words

* Sentences that show students how words are used, not just their meanings

* Missions and games to challenge students (including brutally hard levels for those vocab masters)

The app also utilizes three powerful and proven learning techniques that help ensure students retain more of what they learn.

Adaptive Learning: The app keeps track of how well students know each word and emphasizes words students need to work on so they feel comfortable with the material they already do know.

Spaced Repetition: A technique that exposes students to words gradually over time so that they become a part of long-term memory learning.

Retrieval Practice: Students are asked to retrieve words from memory through exercises like writing sentences for words, which promotes long-term memory.

“High school students are busy people. Between academics and extra-curricular activities, they are always on the go. The app makes SAT prep easy to do anywhere, at anytime. Plus, this app employs learning techniques that encourage a deep understanding of new words rather than simple memorization which will help students achieve their highest possible score,” said Chad Troutwine, co-founder and CEO of Veritas Prep.

The SAT Vocabulary by Veritas Prep can be found in the Apple store by searching for Veritas Prep. To learn more about other SAT prep resources from Veritas Prep and its college admissions consulting services visit http://www.veritasprep.com/sat/.

Justin Ligeri Launches New Web Site to Bring Together Einstein’s Quantum Theory and Spirituality

Many people find it hard to reconcile science and spirituality, even though both are big parts of the human experience. Entrepreneur Justin Ligeri has launched a new blog which he hopes will help people more easily integrate both spirit and science into their lives.

Tampa, FL, February 17, 2013 (Straight Line PR) — Anyone who saw the movie “The Matrix” can understand and appreciate how revolutionary the idea of quantum theory can be. Most people who have an appreciation for science can have trouble reconciling age old spiritual principles with scientific dogma. They often find the the two approaches to be mutually exclusive.

Justin Ligeri has launched a new web site to bring together the scientific and spiritual wisdom that he has found over the last twenty years. “I have been a seeker of truth since I was a little boy,” says Ligeri. “My goal in launching this site is to share the most revolutionary spiritual and scientific concepts and ideas in a blog format. My goal is to simply share the things that I have collected on my hard drive hoping that others can benefit from them as well.”

The new web site and blog, http://www.JustinLigeri.net/ , is intended to help close the perceived gap between spirituality and science.

“Over the last twenty years I have attended hundreds of seminars and lectures as well as read hundreds of books that have attempted to bring together the latest cutting edge research of science with spirituality. My purpose is to be a content curator where I comment on what I find and share it with subscribers and people of like mind hoping that they too will enjoy it,” explains Ligeri.

An avid reader, researcher and traveler, Ligeri hopes that by curating content that inspires and challenges the status quo, better things will be produced from the experience.

“I am a huge believer in Albert Einstein,” enthuses Ligeri, “but I am also a big fan of the Dalai Lama. While this may appear contradictory on the surface, I find that both of these visionaries share a perspective that is hugely inspiring and empowering. On each and every post, I invite readers to share their feedback and comment their thoughts and opinions. Over the last twenty years I have collected what I think are the top insights from scientists and spiritual thinkers. I always look forward to the feedback I receive.”

A recent post on Ligeri’s site shared a performance between Brad Paisley, and a hologram of Carrie Underwood. Subsequent posts provide insights on holograms, the holographic universe, and much more. Read more, and see the video, at http://www.JustinLigeri.net/metaphysics/nashville-country-meets-the-hologram/

Ligeri draws for his inspiration from research by Amit Goswami, Leonard Susskind, David Bohm, Karl Pribram, David Albert, Richard Feynman, William Tiller, John Hagelin, Stuart Hameroff, Nick Herbert, Andrew Newberg, Fred Alan Wolf, Dean Radin, Jeffery Satinover, Micheal Ledwidth and Brian Greene. His blog can be found at http://www.JustinLigeri.net/

About Justin Ligeri:
Justin Ligeri was born wanting to be an entrepreneur. However it took him about twenty years of living to understand that desire. He has since taken that desire and turned it into business success. Ligeri’s most recent joint venture with his brother, Yagoozon, has earned a spot on the 2012 Inc. 500 list of 500 fastest growing companies in the US. Now, Ligeri plans to share his desire to unify quantum physics and spirituality. For more information, visit Ligeri’s web site and blog at http://www.JustinLigeri.net/

SAFE International Announces Release of Self Defense EBook “How to Get Home Safely to Your Family”

Toronto Self Defense, SAFE International Announces Release of Self Defense EBook “How To Get Home Safely To Your Family”

Toronto, ON, February 13, 2013 – (Straight Line PR) – SAFE International Self Defense Canada would like to announce the release of their new EBook, “How To Get Home Safely To Your Family“. SAFE International is Canada’s leader in personal protection instruction. They have taught more than 175,000 women since 1994. What makes SAFE International so effective is that they don’t just teach the physical side of self defense but also the psychological and emotional sides. In this self defense e-book for women , they author will be covering how to recognize and avoid potentially dangerous situations, which is the most important step in self defense. It is important to note, however, that even though learning an attacker’s methods and tactics will help you from becoming a victim, no one skill is guaranteed to protect you from harm. These tips can greatly increase your chances of staying safe, but no tactic, strategy, or tip offered is guaranteed to work. There are literally thousands of variables in any given scenario, and one’s own intuition is often the best way to avoid violence. The author hopes this self defense e-book teaches you some important strategies on how to avoid potentially dangerous situations and helps keep you safe.

The following is an excerpt from this women’s self defense e-book:

How Being Too Polite Can Be Dangerous

Yes, being too polite can be dangerous. Someone who is going to harm you is going to look for someone who they can take advantage of. If someone offers you help and you feel uncomfortable, or your intuition kicks in, say “NO.” If they keep persisting, they are ignoring the answer you just gave them.

Do not feel obligated to accept someone’s help, and if they try to make you feel guilty, this just confirms your intuition to begin with. We teach children that they must be polite to adults. This is wrong and could be potentially dangerous. Teach children to trust their inner voice or intuition.

I would much rather my child offend a complete stranger than have my child abducted because they felt like they had to be polite to this person. Again, if someone ignores your “NO,” they are trying to control you somehow. Being too polite is a constant theme in all our SAFE International seminars and one that people commonly struggle with regardless of age.

While this self defense Ebook is being marketed to women, it is definitely appropriate and applicable to women, men, and kids.  Some of the other topics included are:

How Attackers choose their Victims – this topic alone could be the difference between being chosen as a potential victim or not.

Car Safety – approaching your vehicle, underground parking, etc.

Distractions – the different methods attackers will use to distract you.

Being Followed – how do you know, where do you go, what do you do.

Shortcuts – the dangers of shortcuts.

Public Transportation – using buses or taxis and the risks involved.

PLUS MUCH MUCH MORE!  For more information from this SAFE International E-book, CLICK HERE.

In today’s crowded job market, this infographic is a valuable resource for job seekers to help them stand out from their competition.

Here’s what job seekers can expect to learn from this infographic:

* How to properly research the company they’re interviewing with

* A list of common interview questions to expect during the interview

* How to make a good impression from appearance to punctuality

* What to do following the interview

It’s important for applicants to know that they can improve their chances of being hired even after the interview. Sending a thank-you note is a great opportunity to communicate their interest in the job, which could potentially sway the employer in their favor. In fact, according to a survey by Career Builder, 22 percent of employers say that they’d be less likely to hire someone if they didn’t send a thank-you note after the interview.
