“You never help around the house”
“Your lazy, we’ll you pick up your things!!!”

UNDERSTANDING

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

In life we all need understanding.  We all have a deep need to be understood, validated, and listened to.  I would say lack of understanding skills is the most significant issue I work with in couples counseling.  Couples, get in the blame game all to often and miss the boat entirely on what their partner needs.  [...]

More recently I have been working with a significant amount of depressed clients.  There are several strategies that I give these clients when there trying to work through their depression.  First thing to note is, depression is a cycle of negative thinking, negative beliefs, and then negative behaviors.   People think they are depressed, then, they [...]

Seasons of life

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Sometimes we all go through seasons of life that we are not happy about.  We do everything we can to suppress, change, quelch, contort, or manipulate the situation we are going through and it ends up taking longer than normal.   I encourage you to try something different.  I would challenge you to try an exercise [...]
