Please And Thank You – Ancient History?

You know, I really thought I’d be getting better at having a more regular blogging schedule. But let me reassure you with this thought: If I had blogged over the last week or so, it probably would have sounded a bit more like a rant than something that could actually help you. So in the [...]

Planning for the Unknown

So now that I have my laptop back in my possession, I can finally get back to doing this regularly, as well as working on the WATER Method book. Since I last posted a number of things have happened that caught my attention, and I’ll be sharing them with you over the course of the [...]

Back To Normal Insanity

You made it! You got through another holiday season! For a lot of people this was a time of stress, parties, presents for family members, and eating a lot of food that you will eventually regret eating.

Making Adjustments

I can’t tell you how completely disjointed I’ve been lately. Being busy is actually a good thing in this business, but at the same time, its really easy to lose track of things if you’re not careful. Let me tell you about my week. After all, it only makes sense that a therapist share every [...]

I’m going to break one of my cardinal rules when it comes to talking about stuff. I hate to do it, but it seems to me that in the year and a half of me blogging I haven’t done one post about this topic. I’m going to talk about religion and politics, all in one [...]

The Nobel Committee Doesn't Believe In Classical Conditioning; a.k.a. Life's Not Fair

What Is Your Integrity Worth?

  So a guy who makes all kinds of great movies has apparently been arrested for a sex offense he committed 32 years ago. What’s worse is that Hollywood rallying behind this guy, as if his art somehow absolves him of all blame. They (and by they I mean Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch) [...]

No, Learning Doesn't Have To Suck (We Just Do It For Different Reasons)

Recently Jonathan Fields did a blog post entitled: Does Learning Have To Suck? In case you haven’t read it, do yourself a favor and go check it out. I wanted to comment on it, but after some consideration, realized I had more to say about it than I thought. So, you get what you have here. Now [...]

Parents Beware: The Narcissist Generation

So I met with a clinician that I respect and admire, as she’s been in the business longer than I have, and has a ton of insight into the issues of today. You know what we talked about? Teenagers. Or more rather, The Narcissist Generation. Now why do I say this, and why the heck [...]
