“Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson To become independent is the main challenge of life. There is a strong external pull from others to keep you helpless. There is also an internal unconscious pull to remain dependent. Your whole life you will have […]
I recently read a book called “Lost Connection: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression-and the Unexpected Solution”. Written by Johann Hari, who previously wrote a book about addiction titled “Chasing the Scream”. “Lost Connections” is a very personal book, beginning with Mr. Hari sharing his own journey of living with depression, treated with medication, for […]

I’ve noticed it in sessions with clients – […]
When a child experiences a death of a loved one or pet, they can feel and show their grief in different ways. How kids cope with the loss depends on things like their age, how close they felt to the person who died, and the support they receive. Children can express loss differently and there […]
Consider this question: Is this in my highest good? I want to invite you to consider trusting your intuition when making choices in your life. I think that too often when we make decisions, we can get into our heads and overthink them. If we practice slowing down and paying attention, we can feel what […]
