I haven’t been doing my usual “Monday and Thursday” blogging simply because I’ve been met with a quandry as of late. While part of this has to do with recent events involving the creation of a new human being, the rest of it has to do with this question:
Which is better: Feeling Great, or Doing [...]
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 now [...]
So while meeting with a client this week, we were talking about how he could change who he is. Now why would he want to do something like that? Because a lot of times when I work with people, they don’t like the behaviors that they’re doing, and as a result, they sometimes feel as [...]

July 2, 2009 0One of the things I’ve noticed when people come to me with Anger, Fear, or Frustration, they usually don’t know how to control it.
