Like The Law of Polarity Might Change Your LifeJanuary 21, 2019 at 11:45 AM As a change facilitator and therapist, I recognize there really isn’t a one-size fits all approach to being healthy and happy.

And sometimes finding the right information which suits you can be a challenge.

After a career studying autism and the nature of empathy, I see empathy as one of our most valuable natural resources.

Like Anxiety About TherapyJanuary 21, 2019 at 7:30 AM About 5 years ago, I started seeing a therapist weekly to do CBT for my lifelong anxiety.

Going to sessions became a major anxiety-inducing experience, and everything the therapist said felt like criticism. I eventually worked up the courage to talk to the therapist about the issue. She said she understood. We discussed it s...Tags: Psychology, General, Anxiety, Therapy, Medication related questions, Personality, Phobia, CBT 11 people like this.
