I work with a lot of people from all different walks of life. I see people who are successful, some who are not, and some who are just making ends meet. One thing that I find in common no matter where my clients come from is this:
Many men suck at Valentine’s Day.
Don’t get me wrong. [...]

December 14, 2009 0If you’ve listened to a song within the last 10-20 years, you’ve probably heard this old saying. Time heals all wounds. Does it really? See, I’m not so sure. I can’t tell you how many clients I’ve run into that hold grudges, have family members that hold grudges, and how time really hasn’t done much [...]

December 8, 2009 2I’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 post.
Now [...]

November 30, 2009 2So I took a sabatical from the blogging thing to take some well needed rest. From today forward, as long as I can, I will continue with my Monday and Thursday posting schedule.

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) apparently [...]

September 30, 2009 6So I was meeting with a client over the course of the last week, and we ended up talking a bit about boundaries and how to apply them to her life. Much of the conversation had to do with how to set boundaries with family members and people she loves, which feels something like trying [...]

September 21, 2009 6So I’m sitting with my wife today and we’re talking over coffee about our friends and how they’re doing lately.

August 26, 2009 6One of the more common themes I’ve been dealing with in session with my couples is the concept of love, and how some people are “losing the loving feeling.” And I’ve come here to say one thing:
