Walk and Talk Therapy

Friday, May 30th, 2008

NYC’s first and only outdoor counseling practice. Therapy is conducted outdoors in local parks and quiet side streets of Manhattan, dynamic and unique.

Clay Cockrell, a New York City licensed social worker, has taken his therapy off the couch and into the great outdoors. There’s an added bonus in walk and talk therapy — the exercise.

Antidepressants are taking away business from talk therapy, according to some experts. A recent study found that less than 15 percent of patients had the suggested amount of follow–up care after starting medication. So therapists have to find new ways to keep people interested in talk therapy. Cockrell thinks combining talk therapy with physical exercise might increase the number of people considering talk therapy.

Zaditor Eye Drops

Learn more about Zaditor (ketotifen fumarate ophthalmic solution) antihistamine eye drops , the only eye drops strong enough to relieve itchy eyes due to eye allergens for up to 12 hours with just one drop.

Most OTC eye drops contain an antihistamine and a vasoconstrictor. Vasoconstrictors (decongestants) work by constricting blood vessels (vasoconstriction) to reduce the appearance of redness in the eye. These products can cause rebound redness for a period of time after discontinuation when overused.

Zaditor antihistamine eye drops are unlike most OTC eye allergy medications which contain a vasoconstrictor. Instead, Zaditor contains an antihistamine that relieves the itch in minutes plus a mast cell stabilizer to keep it working for up to 12 hours with just one drop!.

Most over-the-counter (OTC) eye allergy drops provide only short-term relief and require frequent re-dosing. Now, with Zaditor antihistamine eye drops, there’s no need to re-dose. Just one powerful drop lasts up to 12 hours. So you no longer need to carry eye drops everywhere you go.
