Betcha Didn't Know...
A training and mentoring community for clinical, coaching and intern staff


  • Betcha didn't know -  Chronic Drinking Increases ANXIETY Issues!
    A recent study from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) suggests that heavy alcohol use rewires brain circuitry, and in doing so puts people at greater risk for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).  Understanding the relationship between alcohol and anxiety could offer new possibilities for developing drugs to help patients with anxiety disorders who also have a history of heavy alcohol use. Heavy alcohol use impacts the wiring of the brain in such a way, making it harder for alcoholics to recover psychologically following a traumatic experience

    The University of North Carolina’s School of Medicine’s research shows that chronic exposure to alcohol reduces The Thinking brain’s capacity to govern the Emotional brain. Strong or traumatic feelings rule. Extreme anxiety, with all of its potential devastation, results.  Just another reason to heed Paul's advice:  "Everything is permissible - but not everything is beneficial.  Everything is permissible - but not everything is constructive.  Nobody should seek his own good, also the good of others."


  • Betcha didn't know - Pot use by minors causes irreversible harm to the brain.  The persistent use of marijuana before the age of 18 has been shown to cause lasting harm to a person’s intelligence, attention and memory, according to an international research team.  Studies show it causes an average decline in IQ of 8 points.  Where marijuana use is not considered harmless for any age, it is specifically risky for younger people whose organizational skills are not yet fully developed.  Did we mention... it's also illegal!

  • Betcha didn't know - Try this Rx:  WATCH THE 3 STOOGES AND LIVE LONGER!!

    Recent research research confirms, "Laughter may really be - The Best Medicine!"
    Studies from the Univ. of Oxford report: "When laughter is elicited, pain thresholds are significantly increased."  It seems endorphins get released in the brain when we laugh.
    At the Univ. of Maryland they determined laughter also helps prevent high blood pressure, and it can offset the negative impact of stress. One expert says 15 minutes of laughter daily is good for your vascular system.
    Why should this surprise any of us.  Proverbs 17.22 tells us, "A cheerful heart is a good medicine." And don't forget, Solomon tells us in Ecclesiastes, 'there is a time to LAUGH!'

  • Betcha didn't know  - A poll released by the Pew Research Center in late 2010 found that 39 percent of American adults believe that marriage has become obsolete, a figure that has risen from 28 percent in 1979.   Wow!  Whaddayouthink?
     

  • Betcha didn't know  Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny imprmoetnt tihng is taht teh frist and lsat ltteer be at teh rghit pclae.  The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm.  Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter byistlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. 
    Amzanig huh?!
    …Apply this principle to marital communication. In the middle of a conflict, listen for the meaning instead of nit-picking and tripping over the fine points.

  • Betcha didn't know that WellSpring was founded out of, and is currently a ministry division of Central Ohio Youth For Christ.
