  • 07/16/2025 Relationships
    We all have them. Anyone you have ever met, including the grocery store clerk, is the beginning of a relationship. Why are we attracted to some people and repelled by others? Are my relationships toxic or healthy? And what can I do to change that if I want to?
  • 08/06/2025: Chain Analysis
    Behaviors are the result of thinking and feeling. Let’s break the chain down to see all the parts of why we behave the way we do.
    08/20/2025: STRESS
    Positive or negative stress affects everything. Can stress be managed, can it be good? How do I know the difference. The Window of Tolerance will help us understand more.
  • 09/03/2025: PTSD triggers/activators
    What is PTSD and why do triggers, or activators, matter to me whether I have PTSD or not. How can knowing my triggers help me care for myself.
  • 09/17/2025: Grief and Loss
    Grief and loss are more than just the death of a person I love. Grief and loss can come when life changes: a divorce, a job loss, a move. Even the loss of a season of life; like our childhood or missing out on living a long life with a loved one.
  • 10/01/2025: Saying Goodbye
    Preparations for future ideas. Brainstorm your next season of time together.
