Home Office with Canine Coworker

My, How Quickly Things Change. Again.

Because I am moving to another state, I am unable to take new clients until July 2021. After the move, I will still be licensed in the state of Texas and, therefore, able to continue to seeing any clients who understand and agree to see me by video or phone only.

For the time being, I will only be seeing clients remotely — that is, by video or phone (your choice). My hours remain the same, and you can still schedule our conversations in the usual ways: by texting/emailing/calling me or my assistant, Darbi, or through the online scheduling calendar.

Stay safe and healthy, and flex your emotional management muscles!

Spirituality, Madness, Children, and Resilience

science project gone awryThe title of this blogpost came to me in a flash. Did those 4 separate words bring you here, too, out of curiosity?

No plans for a high-level, complicated essay on the concepts — spirituality, madness, children, resilience. Just a quick list of the books currently on my reading shelf, all of which I’ve recommended to clients in recent weeks. Some were recommended to me by clients. Some I’ve read in the past, some I’m reading in the present.

The Spiritual Gift of Madness: The failure of psychiatry and the rise of the Mad Pride Movement, by Seth Farber, Ph.D.

10 Principles for Spiritual Parenting: Nurturing your child’s soul, by Mimi Doe with Marsha Walch, Ph.D.

Resilient: How to grow an unshakable core of calm, strength, and happiness, by Rick Hanson, Ph.D. with Forrest Hanson

I’ve wanted to write a brief post on books I read, without actually reviewing them, for long time. And as I looked at my current pile and wondered how they fit together, if at all, the title came to me — and I was intrigued.

Aren’t words fascinating?

Are these words —

Spirituality

Madness

Children

Resilience

— connected or disconnected, to you?
