Many people use the words “dementia” and “Alzheimer’s disease” interchangeably. However, they are not the same thing. A person can have a form of dementia that is completely unrelated to Alzheimer’s disease.

The term Dementia does not refer to a specific disease, instead it describes a group of symptoms which affect memory, thinking and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning. It includes memory loss, personality change and impaired intellectual functions resulting from disease or trauma to the brain.

Dementia is progressive and can arise from many different causes which will all involve loss of memory, but they have other symptoms which are different depending on the cause.

HAVE YOU EVER FORGOTTEN ANYTHING?

HAVE YOU EVER FORGOTTEN ANYTHING SO SERIOUS THAT IT CAUSED YOU TO WORRY?

ARE YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW PLAGUED BY FORGETFULNESS?

My name is Ann-Noreen Bird, of Global Dementia Care and I am a dementia care expert. Over the last 24 years, I have been a ward nurse, a community nurse, a turnaround specialist Nurse, a practice development nurse, manager, teacher, trainer, educator, nurse advisor and Lead nurse of a Borough, all in the field of mental health of the older persons.

With ageing populations across the globe, the number of people living with dementia is set to rise worldwide, so now is the time to take action!

AAEAAQAAAAAAAAl2AAAAJGFjZmI5ZGE0LWE0MTAtNDhhMi04NmZjLTMwMzExOTg1ODViZQ I teach people to recognize, cope and embrace dementia so they can help those living with the disease to live dignified lives.”

My mission is to inform, educate, empower people globally to recognize and understand dementia so they can appropriately care for those living with the condition.

Despite our developed understanding of dementia, there is still more work to be done. Presently approximately only 10% of people receive a diagnosis of dementia in developing countries, which puts an enormous strain on families and communities to care for those affected.

Through education, discussion and raising awareness I hope my contribution will diminish the stigmas surrounding dementia and enable those in need to be treated and cared for effectively and with the dignity they deserve.

TSM15/32 Playing to Reduce Stress in Kids

August 5, 2015June 16, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Michele Kambolis from Harbourside Family Counseling Centre aired August 11th

One in five children has a diagnosable mental disorder; one in eight experienced clinical levels of anxiety. Amidst these extremes, every family must deal with some level of childhood stress: worries about changes at home, school pressures and scary headlines. What caused this surge in anxiety in our young people? How can parents combat this? Esteemed child and family therapist Michele Kambolis combine theory and practical, play- based activity to help this ‘generation stressed’.

Kambolis shows how to translate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques from her book Generation Stressed into fun, playful exercises that can be practised by parents with their children. CBT is the top, evidence-based toolset to reduce childhood anxiety; it teaches children powerful ways to change their thinking patterns and actions to decrease stress and increase resiliency.

Topics include:

Children experiencing high levels of anxiety are more likely to be physically sick, experience additional social problems, suffer from weakened brain development, and be less financially independent in later life. At a time when mental health is at the forefront of many parents’ priorities, Kambolis demystifies methods that ensure our children’s mental well-being. At the heart of these methods is a focus on joyful parenting and the relationship between parent and child.

Michele Kambolis (MA) is a registered Child and Family Therapist and Parent Educator dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues. She is currently pursuing her PhD program in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University and is passionate about supporting global health initiatives. Her book, Generation Stressed, has received widespread praise from therapists, families and media alike. Kambolis writes a popular weekly parenting advice column, Parent Traps, for The Vancouver Sun.

P14/23a Sacretherapy®: You’re Not Sick-You’re Sacred!

June 2, 2014June 11, 2017Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Originally aired Aired June 10th/14 on Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Dr. Amelia Kemp.

Dear Sara:

One out of four people listening to your show secretly think they are crazy. And can’t shake the depression. The fog won’t lift. Or have been diagnosed with some kind of mental or emotional illness. They’ve tried psychotherapy, drugs and dozens of other ways to get well, but nothing’s worked.

Well, help is on the way! Holistic psychotherapist Dr. Amelia Kemp, Ph.D, LMHC, has written a revolutionary book that does for mental health what Louise Hay’s 1984 groundbreaking book You Can Heal Your Body did for the physical. Kemp’s From Psychotherapy to Sacretherapy® — Alternative Holistic Descriptions and Healing Processes for 170 Mental and Emotional Diagnoses Worldwide reexamines each condition within a spiritual context that is universal, filling in a key element that is essential for wholeness.

The book is the first to offer alternative holistic ways to describe, interpret and treat those diagnoses and prescribes specific treatments thathonourr the whole person-mind, body and spirit. The book tells sufferers, “You’re not sick- you’re sacred!” In the process, she changes the terminology from “disorder” to “reaction” removing the stigmatization. Kemp helps the person understand that it is either their reaction to the “matter” along with conditioned beliefs or behaviors that is causing the distress, which she calls a “misaligned thought.” Or, what has manifested may be what she calls a ”divine intention.” And in both cases, may be brought back into alignment utilizing the eight sacred steps described in the book.

Marrying elements of traditional psychotherapy to metaphysical and holistic practices, Kemp has created something entirely new–Sacretherapy® She quotes the World Health Organization’s (WHO) website: “Mental health is related to the promotion of well-being…” and then goes on to say, “However, the divine part of this well-being appears to be regularly left out the treatment plan for the majority of the population in the world’s western hemisphere. And this major void needs to be filled in order to honor the fullness of the human being.”

The book was written because Kemp believes traditional interventions are fragmented and label people, which causes them to feel sick and defective. Therefore, she seeks to remove the stigma and pathology associated with mental and emotional issues and restore sufferers’ sense of value and worth, while bringing them back to their inherent wellness.

But Kemp’s experience with mental health issues is far from impersonal. After an extremely challenging childhood in an unhappy home and sexual abuse starting at a young age, she suffered with anxiety and depression and was ultimately hospitalized in her 20s. Despite repeated rounds of psychotherapy, medication, periods of slight improvement, and an unending quest for alternatives, there was little change-even while she was studying mental health for her master’s degree.

It was only when she finally began to explore books and interventions that were spiritual and metaphysical in nature–did she really begin to see dramatic changes. Slowly, Kemp began to integrate these universal principles and concepts into her professional psychotherapy practice with astonishing results. People who previously made little progress, began to make major strides, and ultimately came back into “alignment” with their inherent wellness.

From Psychotherapy to Sacretherapy® offers eight steps to mental and emotional well-being, 24 healing exercises, illustrations and aftercare practices including herbal remedies and energy medicine, and features a powerful chapter on healing suicidal thoughts and behaviours. The 170 alternative and healing processes cover everything from anxiety and depression to family stressors and infidelity to emotional eating/obesity, and encompasses the more severe diagnoses including bipolar and psychosis. Those going through the Sacretherapy process are also offered additional support through Dr. Kemp’s Sacretherapy radio show, which more than 4,000 people have already downloaded.

Says Kemp, “This books shows you how to realign your mind, body and spirit; relieve a great deal of guilt, reduce self-reproach; and help free yourself from any toxic conditioning, memes or programming you may have acquired during your physical journey, as it unlocks the door to the mental and emotional well-being that has always been yours by divine right!”
