I recently sent this message to someone I’ve really admired for a long time: Hey [person] I was talking to someone who struggled to accept that certain people could look up to him and I thought I would send a note to say how much I look up to you and how it’s been this way since the first time I … [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.

As a marriage therapist I often get asked if there are any good books I can recommend. I like to recommend The Devil in the White City. It’s clearly a strange title, so when they ask what it’s about, I tell them it’s the true account of the first documented case of a psychopathic murderer. They … [Read more...]
A Right vs. a Privilege
When I was in my teens there seemed to be a few young people who were super hard workers and/or super hard on themselves and a few very lazy and entitled people my while most of us were more in the middle between the two extremes. The current younger generations seems to be the opposite with a very … [Read more...]
Avoiding Those Petty Fights
Marriages are rarely broken by a major issue. In fact, more people recover from affairs and hidden debt scandals than you’d expect (there are also more hidden debt scandals than you’d expect where one person builds thousands of dollars of debt behind their partner’s back). Instead, what kills most … [Read more...]
