ISSUES

Individuals:
 
ANGER
A re-active habit that is very hard to stop or "manage" Instead, individuals I work with have learned to apply new thinking strategies to the circumstances that frustrate them and thereby decrease or even avoid angering altogether.
LONELINESS
As individuals find it is easier to approach others, they cut back on trying to influence others to come to them. They find they become gradually attached and much less lonely.
LOW SELF-ESTEEM
Pickup an easy to learn strategy which will allow to literally "gain control" to raise your self image.
DEPRESSION
Depression is a common behavior that can be overcome with cognitive therapy. As you become more skillful in meeting your needs, you create good feelings which tend to replace your sad mood.

Happiness:  It's Your Choice
Couples:  
 

TRUST –
Trust is mandatory to any meaningful relationship. As you become more capable and confident in creating personal security, the reliability of your partner becomes less troublesome.
COMMUNICATION–
Often clients don’t have difficulty communicating with others. However, they do find it hard to communicate with each-other. After learning new re-thinking strategies they "see" each-other more favorably, and their consequent communication becomes more pleasant.
COMMITMENT
Commitment, being "best friends" and passion are required for a successful marriage or relationship. Commitment is a pledge made by each individual in a relationship to learn how to rely more upon themselves rather than their partners for their happiness.
INTIMACY–
The highest most sensitive form of communication between individuals. Intimacy is a state of passion created when best friends develop the ability to control for their happingess with each other.
