Think I saw you at Runyon today.
On the outside: Yeah, I go there a lot. Should have said hi!
On the inside: This freaks me out!

My Fucking Feelings
It’s 11:54pm on a Tuesday night. I’m in my bedroom in my underwear typing away feverishly on my little white Mac, trying to create a dialogue that may help others. In this case, quotes from Brene Brown on authenticity. I’m doing it on the same little white Mac I created The Angry Therapist on two years ago, on the same bed, with the same intent. But much has changed since...

Like most women, I struggle with body image, self confidence, and the always-complicated relationship between food and emotions. Here’s the difference between perfectionism diets and healthy goals.

Hi Angry, I’ve been following you for a while now...
I believe my followers may be able to help you more with this question since many are also in relationships with men / women in the military.
Anyone?

I just wrote a post about how if you want to get fit or lose weight bad enough, you will make it happen. There is truth to that but there is also a missing piece I didn’t mention. Inner conflict. I believe we all struggle with an internal conflict that prevents us from executing our goals. These are beliefs based on our story. There may be many feelings...

What is the most courageous thing you can do for yourself when you feel hurt?
I broke up with my serious girlfriend a few months...
First, ask yourself what has changed since you broke up with her? It is important for you to know the answer and have a good one because you will need it when she asks you. And by good I mean honest. Yes, I understand you miss her but I don’t know if expressing that will be enough. Trust has been broken and she will need reassurance that you won’t want “to be single”...
To all my clients,
I am now using the Schedulicity Calendar.
If you have not scheduled an appointment, please do so or I will assume you don’t want a session.

Thank you,

How do I get my boyfriend to open up to me? He's...
The short answer is ask him. The long one is as follows. First praise him for all the physical affection he gives you and let him know how much that means to you. Then say you would also like him to show that affection verbally as well. Acknowledge that you understand it’s difficult for him, and discuss why if he is willing. Understanding where he’s coming from will allow you to...

Shit Therapists Should Never Say
- Enough about you. Let’s talk about me.
- What time is it?
- I hate my job too.
- You’re fucked.
- Well why did you do it then, duh?
- Bring a beer to our next session.
- What are you doing tonight?
- I’m depressed.
- Grow!
- I love you.
I’ve said one of these and I wasn’t joking.
And I’ll probably say it again.
Can you guess which?

FEAR OF COMMITMENT?
It’s natural to have fear when getting into a relationship. You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t. Within every relationship, there is a chance for heartbreak and that scares us. That is a healthy fear. It can protect us. But if that fear is to the point where you are unable to be your authentic self, that fear is unhealthy. Instead of protecting you, it will make you serve...

I went through my boyfriends phone and saw text...
A), why are you going through your boyfriend’s phone? That tells me you don’t trust him. How much of that is your own stuff and how much of that is legit, meaning from this relationship? The stuff that is your own, based on your story, upbringing / previous relationships, is ultimately your own responsibility, something you need to process and work through on your own. Of course,...
