Therapy For People

02/13/2026

Often I see themes emerge in therapy. I want to share what I’ve learned and what I teach others, so everyone can benefit from therapy. So let’s talk about friendship….
In our primary attachment relationship (our romantic partners), we expect conflict and challenge. In friendship, sometimes we don’t. And we certainly don’t learn how to handle conflict that comes up. When our friend does something hurtful, or something we feel angry or annoyed about, these small resentments tend to build. I would argue they are most likely the cause of most relationship fractures. We can learn, with safe people, to share our feelings, and share these little resentments in order to let them go. Check out my next post on how to effectively share resentments and gain more emotional closeness in your relationships. Hint - it requires agreement from your friend that they can hear the resentment in that moment, then it their job to respond ONLY with “I hear you”. I’m convinced these three little words can change the world. ❤️

Emotionally immature parents are not able to meet our complex needs for true emotional connection as children. People who grew up in this kind of family often experience deep loneliness. This is because as humans, we have a deep need to feel emotional connection to others. And when our parents cannot provide that, mainly because of their own wounding, the scars are deep. We grow up feeling alone in a crowded room, ashamed of existing or having emotional needs, and often get stuck trying very hard to be pleasing to others. It’s like being in a desert with no water.

May 2024 be a year of cultivating peace and compassion for one another❤️✨🌏

His Holiness’ Message for the New Year - 2024

On the occasion of the New Year, I would like to thank everyone who has sent me good wishes, and I offer my greetings to you all, brothers and sisters across the world.

Despite the many challenges that we are facing today, I feel optimistic that with a growing appreciation of how interconnected we all are in the oneness of humanity, we can all work to lead more meaningful lives and create a better world.

As human beings we share a common wish to be happy and free from pain. We are social animals who depend on others to survive. Therefore, as I often say, we should work for the benefit of others. If we cannot help them, we should at least make sure we do no harm. I have found that helping others is the best way of ensuring happiness and calm for ourselves.

I also firmly believe that we can find peace in the world only when we find peace within. Every human being has the potential to cultivate inner peace, and by so doing to contribute to the peace of our global community.

We must try to cultivate compassion and inner peace, regardless of our nationality or religion, we can contribute to the well-being and happiness of all mankind. If the last century was the century of violence, it is our responsibility to make this century the century of dialogue.

Once again, I extend warm greetings to you all. I hope that you all enjoy an auspicious beginning to the new year, 2024.

With prayers and good wishes,

Dalai Lama

Anxiety and depression are allies because they let you know when a part of you is hurting that needs attending to. Depression can be a lack of intimate connection with others or grief that doesn't have an outlet. Anxiety often is a long-term familiar and can be the result of not getting sufficient maternal nurture or care as a little one.

When we tune into these rejected parts of ourselves, the ones that have grieving to do, anger to express, or fear to soothe, we can resolve these underlying feelings. Often the anxiety and depression resolve on their own after that deeper work is accomplished.
