Happy Holidays!  Things are going well here at the clinic.  Lester Menke and Tammy Ricke are both seeing clients exclusively at our Cedarburg office now.  If you would like an appointment with one of them, you can call the main clinic phone at 262.334.4340.  In this newsletter Jennifer Skinner has written about sleep habits and getting good sleep- an important topic with the hectic holidays!  Jennifer is seeing clients at the West Bend office and the Cedarburg office.  A lot of people have been feeling under the weather lately; it's a good time to make sure you are taking care of yourself with sleep, diet and exercise.  I know I feel so much better when I exercise and have good sleep.  I am currently fighting a cold and if I had taken better care of myself by honoring my sleep schedule, I would probably have been able to fight it off .   Til next time, keep hand sanitizer near by ; ) Devona Marshall  Clinic Director S...

Introversion and Extroversion

Introversion and Extroversion Mary loves going to parties and interacting with a lot of different people gives her energy. When she is alone too much she may start to become tired and depressed. Parties tend to be a chore for Susan. She prefers to talk with one or two people at a time. When she is with people for long periods of time, her energy level becomes depleted. Mary and Susan have two very different ways of being in the world. Terms used to describe this would be Extroversion and Introversion. Carl Jung first coined these two words, and there has been much research to support his observations and typing of people. Although we all have elements of introversion and extroversion in our personalities, one of these attitudes are usually our preferred way of being- how we tend to feel the most comfortable. Knowing our preferred attitude and honoring it in your life can be important for psychological well-being. Extroverts make up about 75% of the population (US). They love being with...
