There Is Nothing Wrong With You,

Life Is Just Harder Than You Ever Expected.

Getting lost in your circumstances is not a disease. However, sometimes without realizing it, you blindly do the same old thing over and over and expect a different result every time. That is, until you just can't take it anymore.

Then how you "really feel" becomes stronger than how you"should feel." This can feel very uncomfortable, however, it is the beginning of finding yourself again in all the situations in your life.

This therapy helps you, step by step, grow and learn something new to face what life has brought. Feel the freshness of new possiblities from how you really feel and how you really want to live your life.

Should I Date While Separated

Dear Don,

My wife and I are now separated. Our marriage got to be so troubled that our yelling and fighting was not good for the children. So, we decided to separate and cool down. It has been a month and things are calmer but no issues have been addressed. I have been contacted by an old high school girlfriend on facebook and she is moving close to my town. I would like to see her and spend time with her. Since we are separated, is it okay for me to date?----Just Wondering Click Here For Answer

What Is The Difference Between A Complaint And A Criticism?

I have a deep love in my heart for my wife. However, she says I am too critical of her. Truth is, I am so frustrated with her inconsiderate, passive-aggressive behavior that I feel like pulling out my hair. I don't know what is wrong with her. Her mother was the same way. She does this kind of stuff all the time. This morning I was greeted, once again, with a sink full of dishes she agreed to do last night before bed. I had to spend twenty minutes clearing them to be able to start my day, and I was late for work.

What should I do?

Yesterday,  I was caught completely by surprise when I suddenly started to cry as a friend spoke of selling their house.  I feel like a huge failure.  What is happening to us?--Lost  Click Here For Answer
