You’ve Been Betrayed? You Can Recover & Thrive II By Lora Cheadle, JD CHt

Tracking in Therapy II By Marielle Grenade-Willis, MA, NCC, LPP
I recently attended an introductory training to the Hakomi method of therapy and was struck by the description of a skill that I often use during my sessions with clients: tracking. Our trainer, Melissa Grace, MA, CHT likened tracking during therapy to how trackers might observe evidence of animals or humans present in a certain…
DREAMS: THE GUIDING WORDS OF THE SOUL II By Rev. Mary Coday Edwards, MA
I’m traveling alone at night and have gotten on the wrong train. Frustrated at feeling inept as well as being lost, I tell myself, that’s the problem with traveling when it’s dark. It’s difficult to see those directional signs. The fellow sitting in front of me asks the driver to please shut the door as…
New Year, Mixed Feelings ll By Elan BenAmi LPC, ACS
I love this time of year. I like to see space brightened, be it with a single burning candle, a string of lights, or with decorations of any kind. I like picturing people sitting by the fire. An image I well know has been marketed to me since I was a child, but hey I…
Letters from our Santa Nature ll By Michelle LaBorde, MA, LPC
I’m 58 years old now and I still love children’s Christmas stories. I love the reminder that, after a long hard year such as this one and the previous one, there is good in this world even across the ages. Because this isn’t the only hard time we humans have endured. Certainly, there is little…
I Served a God that Didn’t Exist* ll By Rev. Mary Coday Edwards, MA.

Negative thoughts can be tough to shake, especially if you’ve been struggling with them for a long time. These thoughts may have such a hold over us that they affect our feelings, behavior, and even our sense of self. If this is something you experience, know that you’re not alone. You may have tried various…
Stop Blaming Your Partner ll By Michele Bailey, MA, MFTC
Stop blaming your partner! Ouch, yes – I said it. Stop blaming your partner, and, while you’re at it stop blaming yourself. Blame, either projected on someone else or directed back on ourselves will not bring us closer together. It in fact draws us into a blaming-defensive spiral that is designed to keep us in…
Our Essential Nature is Spiritual!
Understanding A Transpersonal Approach in Psychotherapy ll By Michelle LaBorde, MA, LPCC In his book, “A New Earth: Awakening to your Life’s Purpose” Eckart Tolle teaches that our “inner purpose is to awaken.

Reflections on Grief ll By Faye Maguire, MA, LAC
My mother died this year. What can prepare us for the loss of this most unique, and often, most fraught relationship? Her loss has caused me to ponder our relationship, and to think about her life, and the paths that shaped each of us. If I was skipping along, smelling the roses, and sometimes veering…
