Boundaries
There are those staple topics that inevitably come up in my sessions with most of my clients. Right up at the top of the list of hot topics is boundaries. This word is thrown around rather loosely in society, and trust me when I tell you, that because of...
Why People Steal (As I Myself Heal)
Very recently, I was the victim of theft. I am not talking some little trinket that was stolen from me, or some relatively insignificant item. This was something that had deep meaning to me, and that only someone who engages in the same activity would truly understand. I had...
