When you’re in fight-or-flight mode, everything you do or don’t do teaches the brain something about the perceived threat. When you avoid or flee the situation, your brain experiences a wave of relief. The amygdala learns that avoiding that situation is how you stay safe from that threat. This is exactly how you want the brain to respond if the threat is a grizzly bear....

Why is Emotional Intimacy So Hard? Emotional intimacy is hard because it requires vulnerability and personal disclosure. You have to let down your guard and trust someone with your true self. Which can be difficult if you’ve been hurt in the past or struggle with self-esteem issues. It also requires a specific set of communication skills. The truth is, schools don’t teach us those skills....

There are always horror stories about bad online dates and misleading dating profiles. I’m a big believer that like attracts like, so if you are always looking for what is wrong, well there is a high chance you attract precisely that. But what if we focused on the positive? What if we made a conscious effort to look for the good qualities we want in potential matches?...

“I have come to believe that caring for myself is not self-indulgent. Caring for myself is an act of survival.” ~Audre Lorde I can’t pinpoint the exact moment when I realized that I no longer needed to fight for my survival, but I do know that it came after several years of prayer, healing, and intensive work. It wasn’t an event, but rather the feeling of peace and calm that comes after a storm....

Estimated reading time: 11 minutes I’ve got a problem that I don’t think I’ve seen you cover before, so I’m hoping you can help me. I feel weird even asking about this, but I haven’t been able to see a way out of this on my own. So, my secret origin, I guess.

How? Recognize anger. Feel it, don’t suppress it. Explore it and find whatever is valid in what it is telling you. Also, look beneath it, to the hurt or sorrow or outrage on behalf of others. Help yourself open to and include all of yourself. Be skeptical of others who try to talk you out of your reactions out of their own self-interest....

“Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be remembered.” Once again, Dr. Seuss reminds us of the finite nature of life with a powerful punch in the face. If I’m being honest, only about a third of my week am I kicking ass. And that doesn’t factor in the weeks when I feel like I’m as useless as a screen door on a submarine....

Nothing quite prepares you for what it’s like to go through a divorce when you have children. While the statistics say somewhere between 40-50% of adults will have to navigate this terrain at some point in their lives, when you embark on it, when it finally happens, your divorce can feel excruciatingly unique. Painfully individual. And it is. Rituals, rhythm, and rules....

Character means the quality of being individual in an interesting or unusual way. It also refers a strength and originality in a person’s nature. Additionally, the word “character” also refers to a person’s good reputation. From this we can deduce that being a woman of character is about having true authenticity, self acceptance, and integrity. You can look all good, get your hair and make up done, put on some beautiful clothes, smile widely, and be nice, polite and accommodating, but without character you run the risk of…...

There’s little in life that causes as much emotional and psychological pain as dealing with an envy attack – from an envious person. With the exception of other obviously devastating things, such as losing someone dear to you, being riddled with disease or being homeless, dealing with an envy attack can really hurt and catch you off guard. And if you think that sounds melodramatic, consider the fact that the envious are often the people who you consider to be friends....
