When Amy Gets Upset – Brain Science Simplified
From one of my most popular emails! When we launch into sharing information with our clients about how the brain works and what happens in our body when we get upset, our client’s eyes may glaze over, lost in the unfamiliar words we use: Amygdala, hypothalamus, Pituitary Gland, Frontal Cortex, adrenalin, epinephrine, etc. I have…

What does your office look like?
Whatever you call where you work (office, consulting room or therapy room) the space is an important part of the client’s experience with you. What kind of experience does your office environment offer? In visiting a local psychologist’s office suite, I walked past one of the therapist’s office and I actually shuddered. It was cluttered…

What does YOUR family say about what you do?
Perhaps your entire family accepts and encourages your journey into the alternative or energy world. My family, however, is more of the just tolerating kind. My sister, for instance, is not exactly what you would call open minded about complementary medicine and EFT is waaaaaay out there for her. In a recent call when she…

Accept reality? Really? Do I HAVE to??
Reality Sucks! Or at least the reality as we may see it in the moment! I struggle with the reality that as humans we will always have “issues.” I don’t want to have “issues.” If I do happen to have an “issue” I certainly don’t want it to stick around! When my issues are painful…

“We”
Ever been to the doctor, surgery, or hospital where the staff comes in and asks, “How are ‘we’ this morning?” Ever had your practitioner/therapist etc. say something like, “Well, ‘we’ need to work on…”? As a practitioner have you ever made such a comment to your client like, “Let’s see what ‘we’ can do about…

Desiderata
We all have challenging times in our lives and, if we are lucky, there are inspirational influences in the form of books, poetry, music, places, activities and people that help encourage us, remind us of our strengths, renew our faith in ourselves (and sometimes in others) and guide us to the next step. The poem…

Stretching to Fit – Procrustes Style!
We talk a lot about our ideas about what makes us humans tick. We also tend to get ideas, hunches, or intuitions as to what is going on with our clients – even ourselves! Without getting into a debate about where all this comes from – or whether we are right or these are simply…

Baby Steps
TAKING BABY STEPS CAN BE A VERY GOOD THING I am a very big proponent of baby steps. That’s how most all changes are made. If you will make just one – however small – change in your life it can break the cycle of “stuckness.” After all if you can take even one baby…
