Is Your Skying Falling?

Being there for your kids ·

2025/11/14

ONe of the most difficult things for folks who are stuck is to overcome absolute thinking. Chicken Little ranted in a panic about his conviction that the sky is falling. This is a folklore example of extreme, debilitating anxiety. Eeyore, Winnie the Pooh's friend ambled around believing that everything was absolutely aweful and would never change. This is a folklore example or reactive depression. In my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life, I share with

Are you messy? Does being messy keep you from staying focused? Getting things done? If so, what can you do about it? News flash!! It's okay to be messy. Messy is a descriptor, not a definer.

Getting from Here to There

2025/09/24

Do you remember the old definition of insanity? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. With counseling and psychotherapy, we help patients change old, unhealthy habits and find new ways to get from here to there. My new treatment technique, mentalligent psychotherapy (MPT) aligns with our brain's neuroplasticity, using mindfulness, positive psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioral strategies to shut down unhealthy, old neural behavioral pathways and

Getting to Know You, No, Really Know You

Being there for your kids ·

2025/09/13

When we're building a new relationship, we spend time getting to know each other. We plan, do stuff together, have fun. But really, that stuff is all about getting to know you, not getting to really know you. Sharing deep, intimate feelings with each other, being there in times of upset and crisis, that's when you really know the other. Those times together are spent in one's inner sanctum. It's always a risk to open up your inner sanctum to another. However, it's really worth it. That's where, in

Dieting? Ugh! Not again.

Being there for your kids ·

2025/07/23

Dieting is never fun. It seems like forever to lose to your goal weight. Once there, though, the reward in confidence, self-image, mood, and assurance is fantastic! Pattie needed to lose the final 30 lbs. to reach her pre-pregnancy weight. See how she got there. She's a whole new person.

Rubber bands hold the key to our healing journey and mental health. Wait. What? Think about it. Rubber bands are so unassuming until you use them.
