As a psychotherapist, I have found a very strong distinction between people (the relationship part mentioned in the title will come shortly). The two main categories of people are “It’s all my fault” and “It’s all your fault.” There are a few people who understand that we need to share … [Read more...]
Mountains and Mole Hills
Please Note: This post follows the idiom: “Don’t make mountains out of mole hills.” I have a gift for making mole hills. My lack of a detail-oriented brain leads me to being in situations where I miss something. Fortunately, my male-problem-solving brain can find it fun to solve issues that … [Read more...]
Girls are the Mean Gender
Please Note: My sister has worked hard over the past five years and has done very well to be better at this... as in not be "mean." If I don’t have a post next week, you’ll know that this one caused me to no longer have the ability to write... since I’ll be dead. Making this claim, I apparently … [Read more...]
How to Deal with Stubborn Men
There are many reasons why I’m not married to a man. Probably the main reason is a man’s body is disgusting... of course, I’m glad my wife has different taste than I do (aka she has terrible taste). One of the other reasons I wouldn’t want to be married to a man is men can be stubborn, especially … [Read more...]

Based on the title of this post, it could seem like I’m in the mood to make people mad at me, but that’s not the case. As a Christian, I’m supposed to be against abortion... oops. Whether you agree with me or not, however, the main goal of this post is to point out that some things aren’t as cut … [Read more...]
Do I Need an Apology?
The other day I oiled the baby stroller’s wheels to stop the squeaking. It felt very manly – I’m using oil – so manly. We normally keep the stroller in the car, but because it was dripping oil, I left it at the side of the house (I may have gone overboard with the oil – so manly). A few hours … [Read more...]
A Simple Communication Tool
The other day I made a new communication tool! Yes, I’m way more excited than a normal person should be, but being a therapist as long as I have, it’s rare to come up with anything new; it was quite refreshing. This new tool isn’t going to revolutionize anything, but it made the couple I was … [Read more...]
