I work from the premise that our choices and behavior often have unconscious motivations and unarticulated assumptions. ...
Something isn’t working. Sometimes, nothing is working. Even daily reminders that help is needed engenders worry that acknowledging problems will make them more real.

The truth is, you may be starving for deeper connection and that starvation looks like depression, anxi...

Your energy is drained or you feel resentful. You’re exhausted from wondering if others like you or approve of you. If you make choices that disappoint others, you feel guilty and...
