Sometimes we may simply need another point of view, an angle that we may not be able to see on our own.

I love helping people uncover behavior patterns or negative perceptions that are likely holding them back from a better reality.

As I watched a wife scream at her husband during a recent marriage counseling session, a quote I once read came to mind:

“𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭.”

As beautiful as that sounds, no one changes because of yelling. No one grows from being shouted at. Want to know the only thing that forces people to change?

You’ve probably heard the saying: «𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐦.” Actually, it may not be a saying, but it should be.

In my work, I see this all the time. People come in, literally drowning in emotion — anxiety, grief, anger, fear — and so many helpers rush to FIX it. But the truth is, the first step isn’t fixing. It’s feeling.

I will always insist on first being there WITH them — to meet them in that emotional flood. To let them know their feelings matter, that they’re safe, that we’re with them.

And this is where I often disagree with my colleagues. You don’t teach them to swim in the storm — you help them stay afloat until the waters calm.

𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐢 — 𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.

A client who chose to change his life - the shift that rewired his brain from fear to gratitude. From chasing validation to appreciating the present.

Memento Mori.

Ok, all right, nothing to see here yet!
We may or may not be recording something new today at iHeart Radio… Let’s just say it’s possible that significant conversations about mental health are coming your way.

Keep it quiet (for now)!
But seriously - it’s amazing to see mental health taking a real place in the spotlight, where it belongs.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐥𝐝, 𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬…

We all carry memories from years ago, even from childhood, that suddenly pop up and hurt just as much today as they did back then. Why?

Therapy is the only way to have those memories loosen their grip, to weaken that pain. How? Not just by revisiting the past - actually, by transforming it.

𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 - 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲: 𝐈 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬!

You wish! But here is the point: when you show trust to another person, they suddenly feel valued and respected. That sense of trust makes them more open to you, and they begin to trust you.

You form a natural connection, all without forcing it.

Psychology shows us that trust often begins when we give it first.

𝐈’𝐦 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞… 𝐈 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠...

I hear this almost every day. And no one wants to dig into their childhood or background, they just want a quick, practical tool.

Name what you are feeling in the present tense:

“I can feel myself getting angry.”
“I can feel myself getting anxious.”

When you label the feeling instead of fighting it, you create a pause. That pause gives you control over the reaction, instead of letting the emotion control you.

Men and women often reset their emotions in very different ways. Women will talk it out with friends, family members, or even a therapist.

Not so for men. Men often need quiet time - possibly on their phone, at the computer, or simply in their own space. Away from the world. But accomplishing exactly the same goal, just differently.

Is one approach healthier than the other? That’s not the point, and here is where the mastery of a relationship begins.

Today, people are shocked, they feel overwhelmed, overflowing with emotions... And there’s a reason for that: modern politicians work overtime to hijack your emotions, to make you feel what they want, when they want, in order to gain your support & to make you emotional about their cause.

But here’s the truth you need to repeat daily:
“𝐌𝐲 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞.”

Your feelings and your emotional capital are yours — they belong to you, your family, and your close friends.
