I’m not a counselor. But, due to the nature of what I do (naturopathic medicine), people end up spilling their guts to me all the time anyway.

Boundaries!
An addendum to last week’s blog…
After a lovely three day weekend, I dreaded going to work. That’s not like me. I normally like my job.
Now, I have a theory (which also appears in the mouth of my main character Jackson in “The Liberty Box”): emotions are a symptom of a problem, nothing more. ...

Why We’re a Culture Full of Narcissists
It’s been a rough week.
Before I get into the bad, let me start with the good (always a good practice, right?) What I love about my (medical practice) job is the medicine itself, and the fulfillment from helping people get better. I love that they share their stories with me, and feel heard, and ...

Addiction in the Social Media Age
I’ve discovered this new podcast (new to me anyway) called “The Art of Charm.” Apparently it’s supposed to be for men only (their tag line is “Where ordinary guys become extraordinary men”), but I find the content really fascinating so I listen anyway.
Last night in my car, I started listening to ...

Review of You Just Don’t Understand, by Deborah Tannen
My Review of "You Just Don't Understand": 5 Stars
Absolutely fascinating! I thought it was about male and female communication, but it also delves into cultural differences and personality differences in communication styles as well. On more than one occasion I found myself ...
