Sue's Favorites

This page is full of links....to Sue's favorite places and things. If you are looking for more information about mental health, Lapeer county, or other random stuff, this is the place to look.

Mental Health and Wellness Links

Lapeer Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is brain training. Just like going to the gym trains your muscles, neurofeedback trains your brain, to operate more effectively. Sue has been doing neurofeedback regularly since September 2023. She finds it helpful with sleep and emotional regulation.

Book Reviews

Sue reads....a lot. Here is a link to her favorite books on mental health.

Sushi Train

Dr. Russ Harris has created a number of videos explaining the concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sushi Train is one such video which talks about our relationship to our thoughts and feelings. Look for Dr. Harris' videos on YouTube.

Attachment Project

Do you know your attachment style? Attachment is the emotional bond formed in early childhood with our primary caregivers. It develops into patterns that we take into our adult relationships. Knowing your attachment style can help you become aware of why you act the way you do in relationships and what you can do to develop more secure attachments. There's a helpful quiz at this link.

Binaural Beats

Binaural beats is music that you listen to. It operates under the theory that your ears hear different sound waves and that combining them creates a third tone that is perceived by the brain. A 2020 study showed that inclusion of binaural beats in addition to traditional therapy reduced trait anxiety significantly compared to therapy alone or medication (Yusim and Grigaitis, 2020). Sue uses binaural beats to enhance focus and concentration when she's working at her computer and finds it helpful.

Insight Timer

Insight Timer is a free app with over 200,000 meditations. You can sort them by mental health, sleep, or spirituality. There are a variety of spiritual practices on Insight Timer, so, if you are looking for something from a Christian perspective, search for that specifically.

Dwell

Dwell is an app that reads the Bible to you. When Sue was reading through the Bible in a year, she used Dwell to listen in her car. You can also have Dwell repeat specific verses to you as a meditation. Dwell is a paid app, but if you follow this link, you can get it for free through Lapeer Christian Counseling.

Pueblo Viejo

Because Mexican food makes me happy and I love Pueblo Viejo's chips and salsa. Their chicken flautas are my favorite. I don't think I've had a dish here that I didn't like.
