Rewire Your Brain For Love: An Interview with Marsha Lucas, Ph.D.
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I thought I’d feature an interview with a very cool licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist that I was lucky enough to meet in person at a book signing back in September. Marsha Lucas, Ph.D., has been practicing psychotherapy and studying the brain-behavior re

Love Deeply ...
Valentine's Day is a good time to remember all the ways we can be loving, not just to the guy/gal sitting across from you at the kitchen table, but also your boss, your mother, your boss's mother, and her mother. One of my very favorite reflections from Henri Nouwen is "Love Deeply," found in hi

Therapy Thursday: Sweat
I have decided to dedicate a post on Thursday to therapy, and offer you the many tips I have learned on the couch. They will be a good reminder for me, as well, of something small I can concentrate on. Many of them are published in my book, "The Pocket Therapist: An Emotional Survival Kit." Work

Scrupulosity: What It Is and Why It's Dangerous
If you sprinkle a hefty dose of Catholic (or Jewish) guilt unto a fragile biochemistry headed toward a severe mood disorder, you usually arrive at some kind of a religious nut. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! For I am one. I have said many places that growing up Catholic, for me, was

The Treasures of Darkness
We often equate darkness with sorrow, misery, get-me-the-hell-out-of-here reaction. At least I do. That’s why I keep a mammoth Happy Lite on my smallish cubicle at work. But darkness can also be a treasure. Say what? J. R. Miller writes this in “From Streams in the Desert” by L. B. C

Having already met amd married a “pretfect” man (at least in his own estimation lol), I’ll settle for one who can recognize his own fobiles, thank you very much. Be even nicer if he could admit to them. Until then, i’ll stay “happily divorced” (hey, it might not be true, but how often id “happily married?)

I didn’t say I had no bad habits. It’s just that Dear Abby had an awful lot of “‘tude” in her answer.

Yeah well I’m still searching for Mr. Right or even Mr. Maybe. After all who the heck am I to be judgemental. My friend used to say her criteria was if you sit across from them and keep a meal down. Okay ,sorry ,that was rude. Or call them a “two bagger” one paper bag for you in case his fell off. This probably explains why I’m still single (Ya Think?) Maybe I should just hang out with nicer friends. But seriously that is, all I’m looking for is one good friend. Someone to grow old (and Up) with who wants to share the good times and the bad with me.
