A Life Without Regret?
I used to want to live a life without regret. That was my actual goal. By a life without regret, I meant a life with a clear conscience. A life where I don’t make stupid or avoidable mistakes that have lasting consequences. And that is still my goal. But I stumbled on something in my time of meditation:

Is This Therapist a Good Fit?
You need therapy, but you don’t know where to start. You look up therapists. You find one you think you might like. But you’re wondering how to know if this therapist is worth your time and money. Do you take the expensive leap of faith known as the intake session, where you may or may not find the right fit for a therapist? Maybe you call the therapist. You just want to make sure he or she knows what they’re doing. And of course, they tell you they do…

The Power of Your Words
I recently saw this experiment floating around the internet , where an apple was cut in half and separated into two baggies. One half was spoken to with kind, positive , encouraging words and the other half was told rotten, negative, angry statements. About a week later the apple spoken to positively was mildly brown whereas her other half, had begun to rot and wither …
Be Broken Together
Over the last few weeks we have been hearing a lot of stuff about the Ashley Madison hack. This has sparked many conversations regarding the surprising names that have been found on that list, the most notably being Josh Duggar. Nearly everyday I hear of broken individuals and broken families because of extra-marital affairs, pornography, lying or a countless other ways …
Communication is a Funny Thing
Communication is a funny thing. Every time I ask couples in my office what it takes to communicate effectively, I generally hear very similar things. Listening is almost always listed as one of the top skills for effective communication. While some clients look at me with a blank stare and say something like, ‘thats why we are here to see you!’, others have a good understanding …
The Day I Almost Lost My Wife

My wife had what was supposed to be a relatively normal procedure, which would have required a bit of healing and walking around slowly for multiple weeks. However, after being home a few days, my wife had some complications. I received a frantic voice mail while at work. I canceled the rest of my meetings for the day and went straight to the hospital …
Preparing to Leave My Wife
After many months and a lot of thought and prayers, I made my decision. I walked out the door with nothing but my keys and the clothes on my back to a very important decision that would forever change my life. I walked into the building, listened to the discussion, and signed the dotted line. In less than two weeks I will be leaving my wife and my family behind. As I am preparing for this life…

But what are the basic necessities for emotional survival when life’s difficulties challenge our mental health? Here are some skills that, if well-developed, can enable us to successfully survive and …
How to Let it Go
We all feel hurt by others at times. But it is usually not the offense itself that causes us the most pain, but rather the way we hold onto the offence, turning it over and over in our minds, boiling in rage or bitterness. We allow the hurt and anger we feel toward the person who has wronged us to churn in our stomachs like rotten soup. Of course, this hurts only ourselves …
