“Our deepest stress is that we are at war with ourselves,” Tara Brach We spend a lot of our days being driven by a vague existential clutch that something is wrong, something needs doing right now. And so we speed up. It’s not in our basic design to remember we can simply pause, breathe, notice the beauty around us. There is risk in relaxing. Our ancestral survivors lived because they were hyper-vigilant. Our DNA tells us that only the tense will survive, and this creates a driven joyless demand on ourselves and others to be perfect, which equals safety.

One thing that has always amazed me is the way people view setting boundaries. People view setting boundaries as being mean, cruel, and/or having other negative connotations. People also view boundary setting as something done only to hurt other people. I challenge these views for two reasons. The first reason is the entire reason for setting boundaries is to protect and keep safe, and this is true in relationships as well. We set boundaries for children does that make us mean? We set boundaries for our spouses does that mean we don't trust them?

At the temple of Delphi, the ancient Greeks proclaimed, “Know thyself and nothing in excess,” two very wise statements that can help us all today.

Time is money. For one reason or another this phrase has taken precedence in many aspects of our daily life: on CNN, for example, you often hear the anchor saying to an interviewer: “quickly…”; or “please answer the final last question in one sentence”. Twitter forces you to send messages with no more than 140 characters. Various internet sites accept articles which include no more than a limited amount of words. And in the dating scene you have probably become familiar with “speed dating”, which allows you to meet someone for 3 minutes and move on to the next person.
What gives me the right to teach you about household budgeting? I've been there and done that and as the saying goes: "I've got the T-shirt". After 18 years of marriage, it was over. Why doesn't matter. Whose fault it was doesn't matter. That was part of my "moving on". It took me a while to get to that conclusion. I went through all the emotions - anger, fear, resentment, acceptance etc.. I lost a lot of confidence in myself...if he didn't want me, who would? I spent a lot of time thinking about what happened, not to blame, but to understand and to learn.
It’s easy to see when your friend needs to dial it down at a party. When your cousin’s behavior is a little off. When things are off balance for someone else. But it’s not so easy to see about yourself. Sometimes you seek therapy precisely because you are not clear about where you are trying to go and what you are trying to do. That’s why it’s especially hard to know if your therapy is working. It’s difficult to be objective about yourself and the progress you’re making. But therapy is an expensive investment that you should take seriously.

Life is strange. Sometimes you fall in love with the most terrible person. Other times, the nicest person on the planet steals your heart, but something just doesn’t seem right.

Pink roses are one of the oldest roses known to us and have a rich history that dates back to some of the earliest pieces of visual art. In the Talmud, it is written that pink roses are the only flowers allowed to bloom in Jerusalem; thus, they came to be associated with paradise.

Maybe itâs another long night tossing and turning trying to keep those thoughts of âherâ out of your mind. Maybe itâs another dreadful day at work or school where you just canât seem to focus on any of that boring stuff because the pain youâre feeling just makes you think about âherâ even more.

We all have history. For many, history forms our present views of relationships. From our past, we determine what we liked in relationships and what we didnât like. This becomes, in part, the basis for forming new relationships when we have had the experience of ending one. One might think that, from whatever we may have learned, our history helps us in insuring the next will be better, more fulfilling, and longer lasting. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Despite all
Doc, you gotta help me! I’m a 19 year old male, single and I haven't dated much. I’ve only been in one relationship and am now looking for a woman to be with and I just don't know where to look or even how to approach someone. My female cousins say to go to the movies, the mall, etc. but that doesn’t tell me how to find someone, approach them and ask them for a date! Where do I go from here? ==================== Hello! Let's start here: learning to find and approach women isn't some magic trick. It's just a skill like any other skill you learn.
As long as you don’t change whatever it is that you need to change regarding your attitudes about relationships and/or your behaviors with your partners, you will probably end up with similar problems with new partners.

Sometimes the people who need therapy the most are the very people who find it hardest to seek help. They’re afraid they’re wasting the therapist’s time. They’re afraid they’re wasting their own or their loved one’s money. They’re afraid of exposing their deepest selves—and of trying and failing. No one likes change, even if it’s possible it will be a good change. Investing your time, money and emotional energy takes a leap of faith. And courage. So how do you muster the courage to seek the therapy you need? Take Baby Steps.
Dr. Romance writes: It's easy to get discouraged when we become aware of the suffering throughout the world: natural disasters; racial prejudice; addiction and self-destruction; political oppression in its many forms (starvation, war, torture, misinformation, imprisonment, denial of rights of speech, health and human dignity, and just plain bigotry and nastiness). My own reaction, years ago, was despair. "I can't stand it! So much suffering! So many issues! There's nothing significant I can do."
