Some of my publicized work

It’s been my pleasure to be invited by MyShrink.com to be a co-host on a number of teleseminars that address counselling issues.

November 15, 2009. Choosing a Therapist Teleseminar.

In this first teleseminar, Dr. Shrinklady and I addressed issues to those new to therapy as well as seasoned clients. We discussed concerns pertaining to boundaries and things to look for when choosing a therapist.

We also chatted about the importance of clients’ participation in therapy and why it’s essential for getting good results.

Here’s a sample audio from the event. In it I’m responding to ‘Lost and Confused’ one of the listeners who is musing: “…in a weird way I don’t know what it would be like to live without anxiety and part of me is afraid of what it will be like to have some sort of ‘normalcy’ in my life.”

Listen in as I explain what you need to look for to power-up your therapy.

December 6, 2009.  Abandonment: The Hidden Fear.

Abandonment issues are often at the root of relationship angst. In this teleseminar, we highlighted the kinds of problems that can surface when abandonment fears are left unresolved.

Both Dr. Shrinklady and I shared a common observation that many folks just don’t twig to the possibility that abandonment fears are creating relationship problems.

Upcoming: Making Wise Therapeutic Choices.

This is a free webinar and anyone can attend. Folks are being invited to post their questions on a range of counselling issues.

Questions to be considered include: how does psychotherapy work, what are the kinds of things to look for in a therapist, boundary issues and how to recognize when therapy is going well.
