I attended a seminar on Eating Disorders and learned some new things. If you are struggling with this issue call me and let’s talk.

Pay attention to your children, this is not the world they grew up in, not the world you promised them they would have. You told them if they behaved well, went to school, did chores at home, and volunteered to help those less fortunate, everything would be fine. It is not fine—there is a Pandemic and people are resisting vaccination. There is global climate change, which the scientists warned us was coming, and we didn’t listen. Our very home, planet Earth, is threatened. Pay attention to the children.

Anne Frank said, "What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it happening again. "

This 13 -year-old girl, in hiding from the Nazi's for two years,
wrote a diary in 1942 that is as relevant today as it was then.

Albert Einstein's analysis of quantum theory and its application to light was published on June 9, 1905. The article won Einstein a Nobel Prize, an honor that the theory of relativity never achieved.

A mark of imaginal man is the speech of his soul, and the range of this speech, its self-generative spontaneity, its precise subtlety and ambiguous suggestion, its capacity, as Hegel said, "to receive and reproduce every modification of our ideational faculty" can be supplanted neither by the technology of communication media, by contemplative spiritual silence, nor by physical gestures and signs. The more we hold back from the risk of speaking because of semantic anxiety that keeps the soul in secret incommunicado, private and personal, the greater grows the credibility gap between what we are and what we say, splitting psyche and logos. The more we become tied by linguistic self-consciousness, the more we abdicate the ruling principle of psychological existence...man is half-angel because he can speak. The more we distrust speech in therapy or the capacity of speech to be therapeutic, the closer we are to an absorption into the fantasy of the archetypal subhuman, and the sooner the archetypal barbarian strides into the communication ruins of a culture that refused eloquence as a mirror of its soul.
From A Blue Fire, by James Hillman.

I need to repeat the one I wrote when I chose the lighthouse as the picture on my business page. I think that therapists often light the way so that clients can see clearly where they are going and they stand firmly so that clients feel supported as they make the changes in their lives that are needed so they can live fully.

In the rush to return to normal use this time to consider which parts of normal are worth rushing back to.

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.
Alan Watts

This one is by Teilhard de Chardin:
Will it not call for the whole duration of centuries before our sight is attuned to the light? ... I am prepared to press on to the end along a path on which each step makes me more certain, toward horizons that are ever more shrouded in mist.

Between the stimulus and the response there's a space, and in that space is our power and our freedom. Viktor Frankl

The Choice is Mine
I choose to live by choice, not by chance.
I choose to make changes, not excuses.
I choose to be motivated, not manipulated.
I choose to be useful, not used.
I choose self-esteem, not self-pity.
I choose to excel; not complain.
I choose to listen to my inner voice, not the random opinion of crowds.
Alexander Starr

Another from Leo Buscaglia--too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Nothing will ever be enough until you, yourself are enough. ( I have posted this here before but it is always worth repeating, it is one of my favorites.) It is from Leo Buscaglia.

About ME

Psychotherapy is not only my profession, it is my passion. I strongly believe in the possibility of reaching our highest potential and I derive great satisfaction from being a witness to that process. While using a strong theoretical perspective, back by years of experience, I also use warmth, compassion, intuition, and a deep search for meaning in life. I believe that clients know what they need to do in order to be whole, the therapist’s task is to create a safe environment and to facilitate the client’s process with honesty and genuineness.
