The Many Gifts of Suffering
;I can’t remember the last time I was sick, or to be honest, even experiencing a headache. So, maybe this is why the higher powers felt it might be appropriate for me to be reminded of how fortunate I am to be healthy – to give gratitude at the end of the day that you...
Past Experiences are not your only Sources of Depression and Anxiety
I am going to apologize ahead of time because this might get too sciencey at times, but bear with me please. In summary, there is a lot more we can do to treat anxiety and depression than traditionally thought. Psychotherapy and medication have been the two most...

Do you have a food addiction?
No one wants to talk about it; however, it exists. People talk about it in my room because it is a place of no judgement. They can talk about their cravings openly. It is a craving like every other craving out there; cravings for heroin, cocaine, tobacco, sex, porn,...
Let me get that for you dear, you’ve had a hard day. Unfairness and Broken Promises.
