I hope this watercolor by my friend Oksana brings you the same delight and soft smile it brought me. Here’s to entering the week with openness and equanimity….

John Oliver does it again. Another great 20 min punchy and powerful profile on mental health- this time focusing on the potential of psychedelic psychotherapy. While ketamine is not listed here, there are similar opportunities for people to have healing breakthroughs when these medicines are thoughtfully used as an adjunct to traditional talk therapy. It’s not the drug, it is the opportunity door that it can open .:..

Such a powerful perspective shift! The bend in the willow, the beauty of tree stump or a golden dried leaf....

In nature we so much more easily embrace all stages, all forms, all seasons. May we do the same for ourselves.

Sometimes we have no idea the impact we have on others - that little smile, that act of kindness.... ✨

What does forgiveness mean to you? What does it mean to forgive those who hurt us, who neglected us, especially those who we were most dependent on? Does forgiveness risk meaning we condone that which was done?

According to the Buddhist monk Thanissaro Bhikkhu, "The Pali word for forgiveness – khama – also means ‘the Earth.’ A mind like the Earth is nonreactive and unperturbed."

He said, "When you forgive me for harming you, you decide not to retaliate, to seek no revenge. You don’t have to like me. You simply unburden yourself of the weight of resentment and cut the cycle of retribution that would otherwise keep us ensnarled in an ugly samsaric wrestling match.

This is a gift you can give us both, totally on your own, without my having to know or understand what you’ve done."

The Gottman Institute offers great reminders for how to be intentional and nurture our relationships! While EFT (which works from an attachment, neuroscience and process appraoch) is my foundational framework, my Gottman training as a certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist is always of great use to my clients (and me!)

Who feeds your personal and professional energy buckets? Who are your people, your tribe?

We all need community and connection - attachment studies show it is just as essential for human development and security as any basic need like food and shelter.

I'm so grateful for my business colleagues who help feed my work soul - 30+ other group practice owners from around the country (and 90+ percent female-owned businesses!). These are a few moments fromour 2023 annual retreat
