“Listening to our intuition provides answers and calm”
Megan Gunnell
March 7, 2011
For many women, the multitude of roles we play can become distracting. Where at one point in our lives we may have felt more focused and less overburdened, as the years pass and we take on more and more responsibilities, it becomes increasingly difficult to […]
“Most long-term success achieved through moderation”
January 23, 2011 – 9:00 am
For many, January marks a significant time for what I like to call “extreme life makeover.” Whether it’s starting a new intense workout regimen or a radical and nearly impossible diet, many find themselves diving into unrealistic expectations of what a new year’s resolution should be. Many who jump on this radical new year bandwagon […]
“Traditions may change, but home remains where the heart is”
November 28, 2010 – 8:58 am
As we enter the holiday season, I am mindful of how life transitions can impact tradition. As a psychotherapist, I often support people through difficult life transitions and adjustment to change. Some are going through the holidays for the first time after the loss of a loved one. Others are reinventing tradition after relocating or […]
“As daylight diminishes, pay attention to your mood”
November 14, 2010 – 4:50 am
After recently setting our clocks back one hour last week for Daylight Savings Time, we prepare for more hours of darkness and less sunlight. For many, this is a time to pay close attention to symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder. In northern regions the impact of the darkness is greater; many of us go to […]
“Life without television is a productive one”
October 24, 2010 – 6:46 am
One day in early June, the cable guy came to my house and unplugged our television right in the middle of Sponge Bob. My kids anticipated the switch our family was going to try to make, but they were still a little stunned when they realized what that meant smack dab in the middle of […]
“Take Time to Consider What you Say to your Child”
October 17, 2010 – 12:00 am
A few weeks ago I heard Chick Moorman, a well-known author and authority on the subject of parenting.
The longtime educator gave a lecture on the 10 best things you can say to your child and the 10 worst things you can say to your child. His approach made total sense to me because it involved […]
“Don’t underestimate the Power of Positive Thinking”
September 19, 2010 – 5:01 pm
“Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re right.” — Henry Ford
Henry Ford was ahead of his time in more than just the automotive industry. This simple, yet powerful quote, encapsulates the entire philosophy of cognitive behavioral therapy and the entire concept of the power of positive thinking.
In psychotherapy work, we often look […]
“Differences in genders challenges communication”
July 18, 2010 – 12:00 am
Communication can be challenging. The sender doesn’t always send a message the way it was intended and the receiver doesn’t always receive it correctly either. On top of the normal challenges we experience with our communication, there is also the added component of gender communication differences, which can complicate the situation. Many couples do not […]
“Take a Holistic Inventory of your Life”
April 18, 2010 – 12:00 am
When was the last time you stopped and took a moment to take a inventory of your life? As a psychotherapist, I consistently assess stress, coping mechanisms and self-care. Many times, clients make a decision to begin therapy because they have “a problem” or “an issue” with something in their life, or they want to […]
