November 12, 2009 7More often than not when I work with men, a common theme that I run into with them is that they have tried hard to manage their problems by “not thinking about it.” This is a pretty common idea for guys, because hey, if we don’t have to think about stuff, then we don’t have [...]

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. More often than not, there’s a pattern that’s going on here. Maybe you’ve noticed it in your own life. It starts with this emotion, and it feels like it takes control. [...]
So feeling overwhelmed is something that a lot of people feel, especially lately with people being worried about losing their jobs. Let’s face it: with more things to do and the same amount of time (or less) to do them in, life can get a little ridiculous at times. There are times, when yes, even I, [...]
So I initially wanted to do a video about repetitive thoughts and how they get in the way of our progress, but it seems as though that’s going to have to wait. In the meantime though, I figured I’d talk more about the WATER Method. Typical, right?
