“Beware of FOOTBALL ATTENTION NEUROSIS (F.A.N.)” but, Dr. Bonnie, football/relationship therapist, has a highly recommended, simple, tried-and-true cure!
I WAS INTRIGUED by Benedict Carey’s F.A.N. Feb 1st 2011 article in the Science section of the NY Times .
A few years ago as a “football therapist” I coincidentally was interviewed by a sports writer at the NY Times in the sports section on Superbowl Sunday on “the marriage” of Brady and Belichick.
Re: F.A.N. I advocate an addictive, tried and true technique for the playoffs and especially the Super Bowl!
FOOTBALL THERAPY: “cuddling” and kissing during half time and before the game like foreplay, pre-football play or PFP (oxytocin known as the cuddle hormone) to reverse the anxiety, fear, rage, hyperactivity, heart palpitations to name a few experienced with Football Attention Neurosis.
The cuddling and 30 second kissing produces oxytocin giving one a natural endorphin high. This trumps the self-medicating high of the Superbowl frenzy of overindulging food and alcohol that gives an energy low the next day.
Is it any wonder many want the day off the day after SuperBowl?
