Right after I added the blog I began to get messages asking why I felt the need at this point to add a blog to the site. It’s a long story that I will attempt to keep short. As a therapist I always received requests from friends of clients asking how they could purchase CD’s of my sessions. So this very basic website began as a means of fulfilling those requests. Periodically, people who purchased them would write me with tales of how a session had helped them alter their lives. What always came across in those messages was the perception that as a therapist I did not encounter some of the same problems or struggles they experienced.
Let me end that fairy tale right away… my feet are definitely made of clay. Friends and Alex (my significant other, you will hear more about him) can provide reams and reams of episodes to illustrate that fact. Like you, when I reach a place I just can’t seem to get beyond I try to work my way out of it or put on one of my recorded sessions and allow my mind to start the mental search engine to find a solution that works for me.
What I have learned in using an internet format is that you are allowed to reach lots of people but then seem limited in “a-words-on-the-page” sense to a very narrow idea of what is presented. A blog allows me, in addition to words on a page, to add pictures or short movies and therefore more texture to the concept that is me and the ideas of hope and struggle I want to present. And, the great part of it all is that I want to take you along. So, if you still want to send me emails through the site, keep right on doing it. Nothing has changed. The blog is simply an addition to an already full universe.
Going forward you will find I have a wicked sense of humor, love computers and photography (yes, the photos are mine), am constantly pushing myself to solve some new problem generally of my own creation, would live on seaweed rather than cook, and despite my age still retain a childlike sense of wonder about the world that makes even a bad day magnificent. No saints here…
