Why do some people change in therapy while others do not?

In the early 1960s, researchers at the University of Chicago asked a powerful question: Why do some people change in therapy while others do not?

The answer was not technique, diagnosis, nor insight. This work, developed by Carl Rogers and Eugene Gendlin, introduced the idea that real change happens when we access what Gendlin called “experiencing” and what many now understand as the felt sense.
Healing does not begin with thinking. It begins with listening.

Most people are taught to override their emotions. But emotions are not interruptions, they are information. When we learn how to listen, what once felt overwhelming becomes understandable.
And what is understandable becomes workable.

Does your partner have Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)?

Trying to figure this out is usually not a good idea.
Trying to determine if your partner has Narcissistic Personality Disorder can keep you stuck.
You replay.
You research.
You gather evidence.
And your body stays on alert.

Instead, Choose To Heal.

I had an incredible time joining Carrie Jeroslow for a powerful conversation on Understanding Infidelity: Challenges and Breakthroughs.

If you’ve ever wondered how consent, trauma history, attachment style, or unspoken agreements play into what we define as “cheating,” this episode will deepen your understanding. We explore the emotional, neurological, and relational layers that show up in real couples — and the breakthroughs that are absolutely possible with the right tools.

This one is especially meaningful if you’re navigating betrayal, rebuilding trust, or trying to make sense of a relationship rupture.

🎧 Take a listen and feel free to share with someone who needs clarity and compassion today.
Let me know your takeaways — I love hearing how these conversations land for you.
