We new age, mystic types are always going on about becoming centered or feeling centered. Anyone who is under the influence of anxiety, fear, and depression will tell us that this is an impossible task – this Feeling Centered business.

Margaret,

I was just reading your blog about self-awareness and communication. Are there some more specific "homework" type things I can do? I need a lot of work. I have been in counseling for awhile and feel stuck. I am hoping to come get a couples reading sometime! I love reading your posts. You have an excellent way of explaining things!

He was brought up in very typical circumstances and had therefore developed a belief that relationships are difficult, imperfect, full of compromises and require a bit of work to maintain. His past experiences had verified these beliefs and he was very good at...
