"Between stimulus and response there's a space. In that space lies our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." -Viktor Frankl

Virtually everything that is “wrong with you” began as a compensation, as a survival mechanism in childhood.

“To meditate is not to run away from life but to take the time to look deeply into ourselves or into our situation to see what is truly going on. We allow ourselves the time to calm our thinking, to sit, to walk, to breathe—-not doing anything, just going back to ourselves and to what is around us. Then, when we are peaceful and calm, we can take time to look deeply into ourselves and into the situation we are in. When our mind and body are calm we can see the situation more clearly.” —-Thich Nhat Hanh

So grateful for PSYPACT, which gives psychologists the opportunity to practice across state lines (with other participating states).

I have been working with a same-sex female couple for several years, and they are understandably feeling uprooted by the drastic change of a geographical move that they are undergoing in their lives. Being able to provide a sense of continuity as they go through this major change is one of the numerous benefits of being able to provide interstate telehealth services.
