The main book, "Smart Relationships," will soon be published by New Horizon Press, 2013. The book addresses key issues such as: Why can't I recover from break ups and divorce?

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Dr. LeslieBeth Wish
For over thirty years, I have worked to help women and families. It is never too late to make changes. Your past does not have to run your life. Respect the power that your family had--or still has--over you, but remember that most of their hurtful behavior, words and attitudes are more about them and their problems than they are about you.
You can re-train your thoughts, feelings, actions and brain-wiring so you can be happy, productive and wise. All it takes is some emotional bravery and a belief that you deserve good things.
In the next section, I have included popular articles from my weekly Relationship Realities column that I write for www.qualityhealth.com, a Top Ten Health site. Go to www.qualityhealth.com and sign up for the Relationships and Sexual Health newsletter. I will add more, so stay tuned.

How Do I Know My Friends are Really My Friends?
For more information about me, please feel free to visit my website at www.lovevictory.com, and read my articles or send me a question. I am now conducting research on strong, independent or high-powered women who are smart about their careers but not about love. If you are a capable woman who is disappointed in your relationships, my research project for my next book might interest you. For every hour of interview time you offer, I will provide a free hour of counseling. For now, lookat the following statements and see whether they apply to you.
1. I often choose men who are weaker or less effective than I am.
2. I sometimes find myself attracted to strong, high-powered men--who turn mean.
3. I'm afraid to let someone really know me.
4. Friends think I'm a control-freak.
5. I don't read men very well.
If these sentences sound like you, then become brave and learn how to change these patterns by joining the other women who have become research participants. You can find happiness in love. Please check my credentials and biography about me. I am a nationally recognized psychologist and social worker, dedicated to quality, integrity and care. I look forward to hearing from you.
