How to Help Your Child Realize They’re Enough

How to Help Your Child Realize They’re Enough

Many parenting practices I discuss with families are contextual. Often, what I suggest a parent do depends on a family’s particular circumstances, their resources, the ages of their children, the temperaments of both kids and parents, their schedules.  And as a therapist, my goal is to work with families to find strategies that work for and make sense to them, not to issue edicts on the way they...

How to Avoid Defensiveness

How to Avoid Defensiveness

Don’t get defensive is something we say all the time.  Defensiveness is our natural and reflexive position when confronted with the idea that we’ve done something wrong or disappointed someone, particularly those we care about.  Becoming defensive is easy, and avoiding it takes real effort.   Before I launch into how to avoid it however, let’s talk a little bit about what defensiveness...
The Two Truths Problem

The Two Truths Problem

I don’t like my cat. It’s a relief to say it.  I don’t allow myself to think about it very often, and saying it out loud (so to speak) is a bit scary, but also sort of like letting out a breath after holding it in for a long time.  A good deal of my friends and family are animal lovers, so talking about you don’t like your own pet is not exactly acceptable in my social circles.  You’re not...

Be Someone Else

Be Someone Else

One of the most difficult things to sit with in therapy, and in relationships with friends and family, is to be with a person who wants to make changes, but can’t seem to do it.  We all either know or have been this person at some point in our lives.  This is someone in a toxic relationship, or soul-crushing work environment, or some other seemingly obvious destructive scenario, who for whatever...

Is Anxiety a Choice?

Is Anxiety a Choice?

  This post comes to us from therapist and best-selling author, Jodi Aman! Read more about her work below.   Living in fear is a painful, lonely way to exist. People say our suffering is a choice. They are smart people, but this doesn’t feel right to the little girl inside of me. What’s wrong with me, then? Do you think I want to stay like this? Maybe I don’t get it, or maybe they...
