Emotional Addictions with John Montgomery

Thursday, September 20

7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Thursday, September 20th at 7:00pm. Village Center. No registration required. Research in neuroscience and psychology has shown that stress hormones can potentially be rewarding for our brains. Because emotions are at the core of how our brains function, emotional addictions can be extremely destructive, negatively affecting relationships, and often leading to compulsatory addictions such as alcoholism, drug abuse and compulsive eating. Join John Montgomery, Ph.D, and learn meaningful steps you can take to reduce the stress in your life. John Montgomery, Ph.D, is Associate Adjunct Professor of Psychology at NYU. He also maintains a private practice in NYC and the Hudson Valley. To receive an email reminder for this event, CLICK HERE.

Film Screening & Discussion: The Help

Friday, September 21

10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Friday, September 21 at 10:00am. Village Center. No registration required. Join librarian Paul Doherty, for this film screening and discussion. The Help stars Emma Stone as Skeeter, Viola Davis as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny – three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed-even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times. Rated PG-13. To receive an email reminder for this event, CLICK HERE. Watch the original trailer:
