Boomer joined some clients today for their therapy sessions. He is a great listener, piles on the unconditional love and provides lots of comfort when talking about difficult topics! Sometimes our four legged friends are just what the doctor ordered.

I’m reading this book right now (which my amazing friend Susan gave me 2years ago!). It is one of those books that I keep taking pictures of quotes and sending to friends. In therapy I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) which emphasizes being in the present—but gosh—-that’s hard!

A perfect op ed written by someone who lost their husband to su***de. I have never met a client who was suicidal and “selfish”. They are more likely desperate and wanting to make their pain go away.

My heart broke again when I heard about the deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. Their deaths, like all deaths are tragic, but what infuriates me is the stigma that stops people from getting help. Untreated depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses can be terminal. We should be able to talk about mental illness like physical illness. When our friends and family members are struggling—we need to support them with the same compassion and love as physical illness——-start a food train, go visit, bring flowers, but most of all, just be there for them. If you are suffering, please seek help and STAY! You are needed!

A lot of my peers are in what is considered the “Sandwich Generation,” caring for kids and parents. So stressful, and a time to reach out for help!

Mothers caring for both children and aging parents often feel overextended, but they can manage stress by identifying triggers, self-care and asking for support.
