Sharing your pain with a therapist is not just attending another pity party. Talking about your emotional pain in therapy is constructive and breaks through the downward mood spiral. You no longer have to suffer alone and ruminate over the same hurtful stories over and over again. Truly effective therapy is an active process. It requires the client to be clear on their desired therapy goal. Setting a clear goal, such as ``I want to live pain and shame free``, sets you onto a new path of intentional living. Intentional living is accepting that while you may not be responsible for the pain you are experiencing, you are responsible for your healing process and your personal growth. Once a client makes this realization, a significant shift occurs. The most important gains you will make in therapy will be to broaden and shift your perception of yourself and of the challenges you face. The end result is personal growth that empowers you to control your life and enjoy positive, life-affirming relationships with others and yourself. There is no need for you to hurt alone.

You may have heard of fluoride. It is a substance in most toothpastes, some mouth rinses, and in Halton Hills, our public drinking water. It is beneficial to teeth because when it comes in contact, it makes them more resistant to tooth decay. Despite the view espoused by Brigadier General Ripper in the 1964 film Dr. Strangelove, water fluoridation is not a "monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot". Its benefits were discovered by an American research- er in the the 1930's who found a link between appropriate concentrations in water and the reduction of tooth decay in a population. Public water fluoridation is now considered "one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th centu- ry" by the Center for Disease Control in the U.S. (and those people know their diseases). Anecdotally, in my practice, the individuals I see who have never had a cavity, have almost all grown up with fluoride in their water. If an individual seems susceptible to tooth decay, we will frequently recommend a regular application of fluoride varnish on teeth, a prescrip- tion-strength toothpaste or a fluoridated mouth rinse. If you don't drink tap water or if you use well water without natu- rally occurring fluoride, supplemental tablets may be benefi- cial as well. As the saying sort of goes: "Talk to your dentist to find out if fluoride is right for you".
