I have been writing these articles for the past 18 months.  On average, a new one is published every two weeks.  (Except for the last 8 weeks.  Don’t start with me.  I have my excuses!)

Recently, I have been fortunate enough to have added 150-200 new recipients to this email list.  Welcome to each of you!

As a result of these additional readers, it seemed a good idea to give everyone a brief explanation and orientation about what I hope to accomplish here.

With each publication, I hope to share with you items of interest pertaining to some aspect of counseling, communication and relationships. None of us exists in isolation.  To paraphrase noted family therapist, author and speaker Harville Hendrix, we are born in relationships, we grow up in relationships, we are nourished in relationships, we are wounded in relationships, and we heal in relationships.

Due to my role as individual and family therapist, I consistently learn about new concepts, new sources of information and new videos that are helpful to me, and, I think, will be helpful to you.
