Codependency

Codependency

December 24th, 2011

Codependency is a term that was given birth in the addiction recovery community. It originally gave clinicians a way to get a handle on the remarkable similarity they often saw in the troubled family members of addicts. Over time another and perhaps better term was coined by P. Melody, developmental immaturity. She provided us a frame on which to arrange the deficits we saw in self-esteem, boundaries, reality, interdependence, and[Read More]

Depression

Rapid Resolution Therapy takes a rather unique view of Depression. Unique, I think, because it actually leads the therapist into unique and innovative ways of seeing the effect we want to have and using language to help our clients up and out of the bogs they get in.

In my work with hoarders I’m finding what lies beneath[Read More]

Guerilla Connection

September 30th, 2011

There is a famous story that Milton Erickson used to tell about the studies of Margaret Mead, Jane Belo, and Gregory Bateson when they went to Bali in the 1930′s. They found the Balinese people can go into a deep trance at a blink and in fact can do things like go to the market, accomplish their shopping, even visit a neighbor–all while in a trance. Autohypnosis is part of[Read More]

Post-Traumatic Growth

Post-Traumatic Growth

September 11th, 2011

Recently on National Public Radio three trauma experts discussed what we have learned in the ten years  since 9/11. Two of them, professors,  remarked on developing a  fascination with Post-Traumatic Growth. The term refers to the fact that some people who go through a trauma of seismic proportions, move out of their grief rather quickly, take stock of their priorities, and redirect their effort and commitment in an all-encompassing way.[Read More]
