sick of text messages, emails and the phone in your face?

Being all together in the house can be a great opportunity for connecting and having positive time together, but if you are like some families, you don’t connect, you sit with the phone in your hand, and that gets boring, frustrating and lonely for those of you who actually want to connect.  Teletherapy doesn’t feel like another “glaze over”.  With me, you won’t be bored.  One of the things I teach you is how to “dialog”.  It is not an easy thing to learn, but when you start to get the hang of it, you actually want to be dialogic and positive all the time, because you will like yourself best that way.  Part of this involves learning about how to have an “inner dialog”.  And it also involves getting out of your “roles”, and relating equal to equal.  Wonderful things begin to happen in your family when you make even these small little changes.  I’ll even teach you how to dialog one-sidedly.  It actually is a way to open up the other person, whether it is your spouse or your children, especially your teens.  You begin to open up more yourself, and that influences everyone around you by the good example you set.  What the masters of relationship encourage is plenty of affirmation and time to share regularly, not about schedules, but about yourselves.  Take time to have a weekly inventory of the relationships.  What are you needing or feeling about how things are going?  What might make things easier or more enjoyable?  Don’t forget to tell each other what is going right!

Very importantly, if you are becoming anxious, worried or disturbed over what is affecting you, your family, your job, or your security, please confide in someone you trust.  It is always easier to carry the ice-bucket of traumatic situations with someone who loves you.  And don’t forget to reach out for even brief adjustment counseling.

I’m here to understand and help strengthen you!
