Be Cautious Of the ‘In the Moment’ Emotions
We’ve all been there. The resolution to eat healthier crumbles when you’re eyeing that gooey slice of pizza. The commitment to exercise fades the moment you whisper, “I just don’t feel like it today… maybe later.” And of course, there’s the promise to be calm and patient with your child, right up until the chaos strikes, and your emotions hijack the wheel.

And what about happiness, and the intention to focus on what feels good? The moment we have a smidge of negative emotion, we run with it – completely forgetting our intention to stay positive!

Here’s the truth: Most of us decide what to do based on how we feel in the moment. And why wouldn’t we? It’s immediate. It’s powerful. It’s persuasive. But it’s also unreliable, fickle, and often misaligned with what we really want.

Think of the times you planned to make a change, only to hear that quiet voice in your head say, “I’m not up for it… I’ll handle it later.” If you allow those feelings to dictate your actions, progress becomes a rare and fleeting thing.

Adults With ADHD... There Is An Alternative To Fighting It With Effort And Failing

Preventing and Eliminating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
man with ocd conditionObsessive Compulsive Disorder also referred to as OCD is a two-faceted condition based on obsessive and compulsive behaviors. With this, an individual repeats behaviors, as well as thoughts. To the average person, this might not seem bad but to someone living with OCD, the effects are devastating. This condition is usually debilitating to the point of life being almost impossible to manage.

One thing that makes OCD extremely difficult to deal with is that so many of the physical behaviors are irrational, making them humiliating and embarrassing. For example, an individual may have an overwhelming urge to check a locked door hundreds of times in a row or feel the need to wash hands 50 or 60 times a day. To someone looking on from the outside, the behavior makes zero sense, thereby creating a stigma that the person with OCD is crazy.

From Complaints to Influence: How to Transform Frustration into Positive Impact
Frustrations happen. Whether you’re on a small, close-knit team or navigating a massive corporate machine, stuff goes wrong. Maybe it’s the same software glitch, haunting you like a tech-savvy ghost. Or a process so convoluted it makes building a boat out of marshmallows seem reasonable. Or perhaps it’s your boss, who seems allergic to reason, or the coworker who treats effort like it’s a contagious disease.

It’s normal to feel annoyed. It’s even normal to vent. But be careful: chronic complaining is a habit. And like any habit, it tends to grow roots.

Many of my clients assume therapists like hearing their complaints. Not really. Not because we don’t care-but because we know that habitual complaining slowly rewires your attention. You begin to focus more on what’s wrong and less on what’s right. You see obstacles instead of opportunities. And if you’re not careful, you’ll be complaining about work, friends, family, politics, weather… even puppies.

So, let’s focus on how to shift the pattern at work—because if you can do it there, you can do it anywhere.

Why Complaining Leaves You Stuck

Why We Humans Struggle to Do What’s Good for Us (And How to Change That)
I hear it all the time from my clients — and it usually comes with a sheepish grin.
“Dr. Cale, I know I said I was going to start meditating… but then my dog looked at me funny, and somehow Netflix just… happened.”

Or, “I absolutely planned to go to bed early — but then I got hungry, and then Instagram needed me, and well, here we are.”

It’s charming, it’s human… and it’s utterly predictable. We all know what would make life better. Most people don’t need a shrink to tell them what’s best to do! But somehow, despite our best promises, we don’t always follow through.

Let’s talk about why – and more importantly, what you can do about it.

Promising Results for Children with Learning Disabilities
For a child with a learning disability, life can be a major struggle. While things might be tolerable in the safe environment of home, at school and in other social settings, a disability of this kind is typically embarrassing and in fact, many children are bullied. Unfortunately, the effects of the disability eventually become evident in more than just struggles with learning. A child can become isolated, depressed, aggressive, and develop extremely low self-esteem.

If a child with a learning disability is not provided with appropriate treatment, the condition will likely worsen but in addition, the stigma of being mentally impaired will carry on into adulthood where it creates an entirely new realm of problems. For example, an adult might have a difficult time securing a good job or perhaps lack the confidence needed to form a healthy intimate relationship.
