Who Tells You What to Do?

Posted on December 26, 2008 by d3admin

Facts Welcome Here

Posted on December 20, 2008 by d3admin

Mad About Success

Posted on December 18, 2008 by d3admin

What A Therapist Is–And Isn’t

Posted on December 16, 2008 by d3admin

A therapist is not your doctor; a therapist is your guide. A therapist does not “do” something “to” you to make you better. A therapist goes with you–sometimes advising, sometimes guiding, sometimes simply being there. A therapist is not your … Continue reading →

Do You Want to Change?

Posted on December 1, 2008 by d3admin
