http://lsblmft.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 29, 2013. How long will it take to get there? What are we going to do once we're there? How long do we have to stay? I knew the moment my father started the car that I was surrounded by obliging parents and resigned children. With my husband back in Minnesota, I was on this return journey more or less alone.

Thinking Outloud: Near death, explained
http://lsblmft.blogspot.com/2014/09/near-death-explained.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. Near death, explained. Wow That's all I could say. As a pastor, I would occasionally visit with people who reported Near Death Experiences (NDE) on an operating room table, a hospital bed, during a car accident or heart attack. Without the necessary and pretty impossible to get research, I wasn't sure what to think about these very similar but unusual events in people's lives. All I could say was Wow. This article, published April, 2012, in the online magazine Salon,. We see&#...

Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Long Term Marriages are Different. From Madeleine L'Engle's Two-Part Invention: The Story of a Marriage:. Speaking of her 40 year marriage to her husband Hugh Franklin:. Of course, the culture tends to glorify the passionate whirlwind romance, rather than the steady committed marriage.

Sunday, October 27, 2013. Hope and Help for Your Nerves. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. Her principles of treatment, and they are right:. 1 facing fear as a normal emotion running too high in your life. 2 accepting that it is doing that at the moment, and it WONT KILL YOU. 3 learning to rise, or float above or behind the annoying physical sensations. 4 giving your body time to heal itself from the super-tuned-in experience of fear sensation that has you knotted up.

Thinking Outloud: In The Therapist's Office (now)
http://lsblmft.blogspot.com/2014/06/in-therapists-office-now.html
Wednesday, June 11, 2014. In The Therapist's Office (now). Every so often patterns seem to emerge from the diverse clients I see. Here's what I'm noticing now:. Very often, men in these marriages are slow to agree to get counseling help. They may view the marriage differently, or be reluctant to reach out for support. When the wife begins to seriously talk about separation, the husband wakes up and says he's ready and will often make the initial phone calls to therapists. Wednesday, June 11, 2014. Attach...

Thursday, March 14, 2013. You Gotta Have Hope. It's true that all we have is the now. Every moment, lived now, is how we put together a life. Living our mental time too much in the past, or too far into the future, is a sure fire recipe for suffering. Here I'd like to talk about the mental attitude of hopefulness, a necessary ingredient to creating a more positive outcome to our efforts toward change. This lessening of anxiety and its effect on our suffering once we are confident we will be helped is kno...

Thursday, May 30, 2013. If I Had More Time. On the days I don't go to the gym, I realize how much longer my days used to be. I'm so glad I'm a gym rat, but I miss those couple of hours of time I once had. Here's what I would do with a bit more time in my day. 1 Subscribe to and read The Christian Century. 2 I'd spend a bit more time cooking dinner. 3 Spend more time outside, year round.
