Princeton Mindset Group Sometimes we may simply need another point of view, an angle that we may not be able to see on our own.

I love helping people uncover behavior patterns or negative perceptions that are likely holding them back from a better reality.

She said, “My husband hits me sometimes… but I don’t mind. It sort of makes me feel alive.”

It takes a lot to rattle me, and clients rarely ever do - but this one got to me for sure…

Sometimes therapy, or even medication, can’t heal a wound that’s still being reopened daily. And the path to healing begins with safety.

If you or someone you know is in an unsafe situation, remember: you are not alone, and there is a way out.

Petting your dog will always help you relax and unwind after a stressful day… Sometimes the things we think will calm us… have teeth 😂 Stress management is a tricky business, yet totally necessary, especially these days.

Husband: “I feel like you’re taking her side.”
Counselor: “I’m not taking her side… I’m just saying she’s right.”

Therapy, especially marriage counseling, is all about balance, but sometimes human emotions are just a little too strong!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫? 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭...

You know those people, they always see the worst in everything. The ones who magnify problems or expect disappointment before it happens. We call them…

Well - 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. Let’s try to understand what’s behind their thinking. Typically, they have faced so much disappointment that expecting the worst feels safer than hoping for the best.

𝐁𝐔𝐓 - 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬, 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫. Yes, fear. The fear of:
1. losing what they have, or
2. not getting what they want.

So before you tell them to “just stop it!”, try to listen and understand the type of fear that lives inside them.

We all have certain inclinations, those talents and gifts that make us unique. It’s so important to discover your true calling in life - you’ll reduce your work-related stress by leaps and bounds.
For some, it’s medicine. For others, it’s art. And for others … it’s just quality control at the factory, and that’s perfectly fine. Remember — always follow your passion… or maybe just your gut feeling. 😉

You want to know the best gift a man can give to the woman in his life? 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞. What? How?

𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫.
Initiate the conversation.
Ask about her day.
Plan something for the weekend.
Show her you’re present — not waiting to react, but choosing to lead. 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. She will feel safe enough to relax, to soften into her feminine energy. And nothing is more precious in any relationship.

I’m not sure what this thing is - could be black tarp, could be a garbage a bag. But it moves and it runs!

Whatever this creature is, it probably rises to remind us not to jump to conclusions. Sometimes what you see isn’t what’s actually happening. In life, or even in our own thoughts — we need to always check, recheck, and make sure we are not mistaking a story for the truth.

Because not everything is what it looks like at first glance.

As I watched a wife scream at her husband during a recent marriage counseling session, a quote I once read came to mind:

“𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭.”

As beautiful as that sounds, no one changes because of yelling. No one grows from being shouted at. Want to know the only thing that forces people to change?

You’ve probably heard the saying: «𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐦.” Actually, it may not be a saying, but it should be.

In my work, I see this all the time. People come in, literally drowning in emotion — anxiety, grief, anger, fear — and so many helpers rush to FIX it. But the truth is, the first step isn’t fixing. It’s feeling.

I will always insist on first being there WITH them — to meet them in that emotional flood. To let them know their feelings matter, that they’re safe, that we’re with them.

And this is where I often disagree with my colleagues. You don’t teach them to swim in the storm — you help them stay afloat until the waters calm.
