Every holiday (but none I think as clearly as mother’s day) reminds us that another year has passed and how time flies!

Spring Rejuvenation For Your Stressed Self
April 14, 2009 Stress, Women's Interest No CommentsI needed some personal spring rejuvenation this week. I spent time taking care of myself and I thought I would share these reminders with other women:
- Reminded myself for the umpteenth time to take care of myself, it will make me more able to help others and feel less taken advantage of.
- I said lots of “no’s” this week, actually cancelled 2 engagements (boy did that feel good). Spent some very restful time alone.
- I napped often
Women Have Sex on The Brain: Sexuality & Your Mind
March 8, 2009 Miscellaneous, Sexuality, Women's Interest No CommentsMore than 40 percent of women ages 18-59 experience sexual dysfunction, with lack of sexual interest the most common. A study from Stanford University tried to answer the question:
“What role does the brain play in some women’s lack of sexual desire?”
This research is important because most previous studies have looked at men and the body rather then women and the mind.
In this study 36 women (half with arousal dysfunction) were shown both erotic video segments and women’s sporting events. In between these clips, they were shown calm scenes such as flowers, mountains or ocean waves. The purpose of this was to give the brain a rest between exotic and active videos.

Question From A reader
Dear Dr Duffy,
Where do I begin? First, a little background: I am a 23 year-old female. I have been married for 4 years to a man that is 20 years older than I. We have had two children age 3 and a newborn. We plan to have more children. They are a wonderful family.
For several years I have felt frustrated and disappointed with life, although I realize that I am extremely fortunate and very blessed. There is an emptiness inside that seems to echo louder with time and yet I cannot put a finger on what is eating away at me.

Question and Answer Post
From a Reader named “Mary”
Please help me! I have been in a relationship with my live in boyfriend about 3 yrs. He is like having another child around. He does not help with things and expects me to take care of everything. He has a bad temper and although he has never hit me when he gets angry he breaks things. I want to end this relationship but when I tell him that he says he can’t live without me and will kill himself if I go. I’m scared! I don’t know what to do. I cry all the time and can’t sleep well at night.
