It’s OK to Want to be Alone Sometimes, Isn’t It?

Some people I've worked with have been sheepish while telling me that they get their "batteries recharged" by being alone. Most often I have thought of such comments as a useful tidbit of information that might help me to better understand the people I'm trying to help.

Celebrating Courage

If she were still alive today Rosa Parks would be celebrating her 100th birthday. She was, of course, the African-American woman who mustered the courage to say no to an Alabama bus driver who told her to move to the back of the bus and had her arrested. In doing so, she served as a spark for the civil rights movement.

I’ll Never Do THAT Again

Do Therapy

I've spent much of the last 14 years of my career providing talk therapy in my office for problems like anxiety and depression. Or at least that's the term that has been informally used for everything from the active Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I have been providing to the complex Freudian lie-down-on-couch-and-tell-me-about-your-dreams therapy still offered a few places.
