INSITE: How a Lesson Learned in Childhood Can Help Us Manage Stress and Trauma
http://psychotherapistboulder.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-lesson-from-childhood-can-help-us.html
Tuesday, June 7, 2011. How a Lesson Learned in Childhood Can Help Us Manage Stress and Trauma. I just finished a psychotherapy session with one of my clients who is recovering (well I might add) from an injury. Along with the physical symptoms, she has been plagued by worry and that is what she wanted to address today. As we dove into the issue, her belief system surfaced and she began defending her worrying. She quipped back one word which made us both laugh, “Catholic.”. To make matters worse, the stat...

Monday, December 20, 2010. Choosing Happiness is Good for your Brain. The other day I was at Denver International Airport (DIA) on my way to fly to Jerusalem to visit my sister.

INSITE: Return on the Investment
http://psychotherapistboulder.blogspot.com/2011/01/return-on-investment.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. Return on the Investment. My wife and I spent a wonderful New Year's at a party thrown by dear friends. It was supposed to be a wedding that I was to officiate, but about a week before the wedding, the bride and groom decided to call it off. I laud them for that as some of the saddest words that have been spoken in my psychotherapy office are from those who have said, "I knew I was making a mistake when I walked down the aisle.". Was a lovely time. Like many Americans, I am par...

Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Tools for Turbulent Times.
