Life isn’t fair. Far less fair to some than others, but unfortunately, none of us escape pain. None of us escape loss. Every one of us will know tragedy in our lives. Many of us experience this early on when we are far too young and helpless to control any of the variables around it. […]
We are weighed down as a society. The daily assault of news stories, overwhelmingly bad, and the feeling of helplessness to affect change has, at times, felt too overpowering and dark. Many of us feel weighed down by the demands of our everyday lives, leaving little time for self-awareness or self-care. Our culture values achievement, […]

Some of us all too well.When you are stressed, levels of the stress hormone cortisol spike, and it can wreak havoc throughout the body.Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands just above the kidneys. It plays many roles in different body processes, including controlling blood sugar levels, regulating […]

What about my significant other, my family members, my friends? Is there […]
We’re about to embark on a new year, which for many of us feels like a new opportunity to change patterns – to better ourselves. Lots of people do this through New Years resolutions. I’m sure you know the reputation of resolutions though – the joke is that the resolution might not even last a week […]
My name is Veronica Zazzaro and you may or may not have seen me write an occasional blog here before! I’ve been the assistant here at Life Skills for a few months now but I am excited to announce that I will be beginning my career as a counselor with this group as […]
The holidays – Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, etc. are times that come loaded with expectations. The winter holidays are a time when most of us feel that we should feel happy, we should have some time off to rest, we should have people to be around – people that love us […]
Saying YES (and also No, when necessary). You may recognize the name Shonda Rhimes as the creator of the shows Greys Anatomy and Scandal. A few years ago, she wrote a book, “Year of Yes: How To Dance It Out, Stand In The Sun, and Be Your Own Person.” She talks about how […]
