NEW BOOK: What is it like to be a therapist?

 

Defining Moments For Therapists

 

If therapy is a relational process, it takes a person on the therapist’s end. The goal of the project is to capture the therapist’s evolving sense of self as it is shaped by our experiences as active participants in a creative interaction.

I’ve read Matthew’s autobiography and studied with him too.  He is an amazing teacher- very sensitive about back issues and chronic pain. He and his assistants helped many people in the class, me included.  He is a hero.

Lasting Love

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes people wonder how they will find true love. Partly you have to be ready with open eyes and hearts to see it and act on it when it appears. Then you need to hang out together and make sure it’s really love and not just a flash in the pan. Live your love for awhile, get confident, but don’t take forever before you make it permanent. Like all things, love can spoil or get stale if it doesn’t develop into the full catastrophe of making a life together.
