Does Your Relationship Have Passion, Play and Productivity? | April 16, 2012

Does Your Relationship Have Passion, Play and Productivity?

Did you know that on average people who are unhappy in their romantic relationship have been so for about 7 years before they seek help? And let me tell you 7 years of misery and disappointment take a terrible toll on what I call the ‘emoplasticity’ or the emotional flexibility and bandwidth of a relationship.

My guess is that right about now you are wondering why a couple would wait so long before they seek help. Well, couples often ‘beat themselves up’ when things go wrong making statements like, “we should be able to repair this ourselves”, or “what if there … Read More »

Buyer Beware | October 5, 2011

Buyer Beware

The truth is that two people with the same diagnosis don’t necessarily warrant the same treatment, and it’s the job of your mental health professional(s) to keep abreast of, and understand, the treatment options available and to work with you to find your ‘secret formula’ for optimal health: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

OK, “So where do I get one of these brilliant doctors?” you might ask. An excellent question, and the honest answer is ‘caveat emptor’, let the buyer beware. You have to do your homework on who is available in your area. However, I can tell you what kinds … Read More »

How To Dance After Divorce

Are there days when you feel you can’t make it because you have experienced the impact of divorce? Has the reality of divorce set in and you feel overwhelmed by its loss? Are there nights that the pain is so deep that if you could, you would reach within yourself and snatch it out?

The “D” word is sometimes a sign of failure, grief, crushed hopes and damaged dreams. Divorce somehow finds its way into the lives of many without want or provocation. The reality of the effects of divorce can stop an individual dead in their tracks, preventing forward movement … Read More »

Five Things To Look For In Your Date’s Face! | January 21, 2011

Five Things To Look For In Your Date’s Face!

By Jean Haner

Thirty years ago, I married into a Chinese family.  But it wasn’t until a few years after the wedding that I discovered how truly tolerant my mother-in-law really was – because I didn’t have “moneybags” in my face I wasn’t a lucky match for her son!

Diet, Exercise, and Love: Find What’s Right For You!

We strive so hard to do the right thing, get the right job, wear the right clothes, or meet the right person that it sometimes feels like we are living someone else’s life. We are in an era where if we choose one thing, we are afraid all other options might disappear. Get married, and you’ll never be intimate with anyone ever again. Have a baby, and lose out on your dreams. Take the corporate job with the big check, and lose a little bit of your soul. Get a killer body, but give up every single thing you love … Read More »
