From Grief to Gratitude

Greenspan says, “The gift that grief offers us is the capacity to see deeply into the way things are. Life is limited. We are here for a short time. Grief asks us to know this, not only in a disembodied, cerebral way, but in the marrow of our bones.” She believes that looking into the face of death offers us the gift of gratitude.

Can You Name Our 3 Universal Human Needs?

From our first cry after birth until our last breath before death, everything we do is based on getting our needs met. ALL our behavior is purpose driven including our symptoms!

When Is the Last Time You REALLY Felt Alive? Satisfied? Joy-Filled?

As human beings, we are hardwired to experience seeking. Seeking leads to learning, entertainment, and stimulation.

If you are dissatisfied with any or all aspects of your life, my advice to you, start seeking a better life. Try something different, new, weird, scary! Just do something different. We all deserve a life well lived.

2-for-1 Mental Well-Being!

It’s common that I have clients show up for therapy with stress related concerns. Often these folks feel overwhelmed with all their daily responsibilities, and they come to therapy for “tools, coping skills, or strategies” so that they can manage the same number of things, but better!

One strategy that I have found myself speaking on lately is how can we meet multiple needs with one activity?
