Winter
The cold front will creep in. It may rain, hail, and snow. We will want to stay in, hide, and sleep under a thick goose down blanket. But we must learn how to sing in the rain, taste hail, and play with snow because life is a constant changing of seasons. That will never change. Many focus solely on surviving. Instead, I encourage you to play in that space no matter how difficult, because...

What is Healthy?
Sometimes I think healthy means to listen to that persistent whisper in your gut / heart when logic and reasoning tells you otherwise, even though knowing that with this choice comes a plethora of pain.
Then other times I think healthy means the complete opposite. Listening to your left brain, the little rider on the wild elephant (emotions) which always leads you off your path and into...

Describe what “letting you down” is, what it means to you, and express it to your friend. Remember, use “I” statements so you don’t give them space to be defensive. Then see how your friend responds. They will either accept your feelings and make and effort to not let you down anymore, or they will be defensive and blast you with every way you’ve let them...
4 Things You Do That Kill Her Sex Drive
1. Ignoring Her Appearance
“Guys in long-term relationships tend to stop noticing when their partner looks pretty, and so much of female sexual desire is tied to a sense of self-esteem,” says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., sex counselor and author of She Comes First. The fix here is simple: Pay her a few simple compliments every day, like letting her know she’s sexy, Kerner says.
2. Putting Her Under...

I’m coaching a few that are currently going through an expired relationship or hiatus. Here are some tips.
- Get out of the house.
Actually, get out of your head and one way to do that is to get out of the house. Go outside. Home is where the hurt is. Make a jam packed schedule and execute it. Fill it with errands, lunches, anyone friend you have neglected and need to catch up with....

My Fucking Feelings
There’s nothing more painful to me than hurting someone you care about. It crushes me at my core, punctures my heart, splints my bones. I hurt someone last night and today I am hurting. Every time this happens, I rethink my life. I examine everything I’m doing and why. I question growth, love, and destiny. Today, I walk with a giant hole inside me. What to fill it with, I...
andababy asked: I have this want to see a therapist. I don't know why. I just want to go; to see what it's like. Is that strange? Anyway, what I wanted to say is that you provide inspiration for me. It's the simple things you post that make me feel like I'm not an unfortunate soul all alone in the world suffering from indecisiveness. Thank you for welcoming the world of social media....

Daily Intention
Today I will examine any resistance I feel, whether it be with my work, people around me, or the uncertainty of the future. And instead of allowing my furrows to deepen and my knuckles to tighten, I will do the complete opposite and lean into the resistance. I will try to stretch that space by practicing openess, patience, and gratitude. I will know that exercising these muscles is growth in...

This Could Be Carl Jung's Century (The Guardian) →
psychotherapy:
excerpt:
“…Yet if the last century has been called “the Freudian century”, there are reasons for thinking that this one could be Jung’s. His time does seem to have come.
For a start he invented the term “complex”, meaning combinations or clusters of emotional issues and dynamics, drawn from past, present and even the future. This idea rescues clinicians from having to make...

I believe fitness is imperative for change. Hard exercise shoots dopamine into your brain, helping you pull yourself out of depression. It’s a natural high that elevates mood and boosts self esteem. The relationship we have with ourself is both mind and body, not just mind. We were born to sweat, not sit in cubicles all day. Always keep this piston pumping. Without it, your life...

Thank you for following, as well as choosing to help others. I understand the grind of working and studying. I felt the same way when I was trudging through my internship. I know it’s hard, but focus on your journey now instead of what’s on the other side. Train your brain to think this way now so that when you get there, you don’t spend your days on your tip toes peeking...

Eat Your Veggies
Sometimes we will date someone that treats us well but then begin to find them boring or the chemistry just isn’t there. But what really may be happening is since you were in a chaotic / dysfunctional relationship before, that missing chaos is translated into “chemistry”. So you cut this one and move on to another that you find more exciting, except with that excitement comes...

Thank you for following. I appreciate all my followers, especially the ones that don’t agree with what I do. If you’re not seeing a therapist, I am willing to give you a few free sessions. No joke. Dead serious. All you need is a computer and a webcam, which it seems like you have so let me know.
I’m sorry you are hurting.

What does “on track” look like? Make sure you see it in action. This means he’s working a program, has a sponsor, etc. If “on track” means he’s intending to, you guys are not ready for round two. While he’s working on his recovery, you should be working on yours. Oh, you’re not an addict? Doesn’t matter. Recovery isn’t only for...
