Covid-19 Update 3/22/2020

As of now I am still seeing clients in-person at the office and am continuing with stringent disinfecting procedures and ensuring that very few people enter the office. I do have video and phone counseling available for anyone who feels more comfortable utilizing telehealth options. Again, I ask that anyone who has been sick within the past 2 weeks, or has been exposed to anyone sick, not come to the office and move to telehealth counseling.

Learning How to Suffer Smarter

Psychiatrist Carl Jung said, “Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering.” He was describing the process by which we develop dysfunctional behaviors as a way to avoid emotional pain, yet seem to wind up in far more torment and confusion than when we originally started. Instead of solving one problem we often simply add another. The true problem is one of unrealistic expectations; that a life well-lived can somehow be accomplished without difficulty or discomfort.
