Drl Jonathan Brower, expert in intensive short term psychotherapy for anxiety and depression, to appear on Family First with Randy Rolfe on VoiceAmerica's Radio Network.

West Chester PA – The Institute for Creative Solutions, Randy Rolfe President, announced today that Dr. Jonathan Brower, expert on treating depression and anxiety without drugs, will join Randy Rolfe, host of the Family First radio program on the VoiceAmerica Health & Wellness Channel http://www.voiceamericahealth.com), this Friday, August 24, 2012, at 1 PM Pacific Time.

More and more people today are being diagnosed and treated for depression and anxiety. The media advertisements for pharmaceuticals for these emotional states have increased dramatically, while the ads warn not to drive or work with machinery while under the influence. Yet people who are being medicated for anxiety/depression can't afford to stop their activities. And often the effects of the drugs shift over time. Is there another way? Host Randy Rolfe's guest on Family First is Dr. Jonathan Brower, who has pursued life-long study of the inner workings of the unconscious and of how people suffer from putting up walls to avoid being conscious of their real feelings and impulses. His counseling practice focuses on helping people to discover the source of their anxiety or depression, so that they can overcome it by addressing the root cause. He specializes in a therapeutic process which can have dramatic results in a very short time.

Dr. Jonathan Brower experienced important people in his early life being "nervous." He didn't have the word "anxiety" in his vocabulary, but what he experienced was very real and disturbing. In addition to the nervousness, some of the people around him had low energy and would withdraw from others. He wanted to know more. At ten, he became a voracious reader of biographies and novels that involved the emotional struggles people tried to overcome. By age 16, he was reading books by and about Sigmund Freud. For the first half of college he was a psychology major, but many courses were not about the human struggle toward optimal mental health. He changed his major to sociology, where he learned about the social psychology of emotions and relationships. He went on to earn his Ph.D. in Sociology at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
