You’re punishing them for becoming a reflection of your example? The truth is, children don’t just listen to what you say—they absorb who you are. They’re not only downloading your words, but mirroring your behaviors, your habits, and your emotional responses. They’re not just watching you, they’re becoming you. So before you discipline them for being disrespectful, reactive, emotionally distant, or inconsistent—ask yourself if that’s what you’ve shown them. Sometimes we feel ashamed or not ready to face the behaviors we’ve modeled, but we can’t be mad at our children for living out the patterns they inherited from us. Accountability isn’t about guilt—it’s about choosing to be better now. If you want to raise a different kind of child, you have to show them a different kind of parent. Don’t just demand change from them—be the change they can follow.

A healthy relationship will stretch you, but not in the exhausting ways you may have felt before.

It won’t drain you with constant insecurity or leave you questioning your worth.

Instead, it invites you to grow.

It asks you to step outside your comfort zone and love your partner in ways that make them feel seen and safe, even when it’s not your natural default.

It’s about listening more closely, caring more intentionally, and choosing connection over convenience.

That’s what real love looks like in practice.

Su***de prevention research for veterans is on hold due to funding concerns, putting those who served at greater risk. We must do better.

Every veteran deserves access to mental health care. Every life is worth saving.

Urge policymakers to prioritize veteran mental health.

I hear there is a lot of talk in the media these days about SSRI's... one of our Clinicians here at EW, who has a focus of Anxiety among other areas, just recently wrote a blog on the topic. Check it out!!

There has been a lot of talk about antidepressants and SSRIs in the media today, as well as a lot of misinformation about the medications. It can be hard to determine what information is accurate with scientific backing. Therapists like me must understand antidepressants and other mental health medi

"I think the public library system is one of the most amazing American institutions. Free for everybody. If you ever get the blues about the status of American culture, there are still more public libraries than there are McDonald's. During the worst of the Depression, not one public library closed their doors."
