There\u2019s no way around it: If you\u2019re human, you\u2019re a deeply social creature. That means you need to feel like someone understands you. Especially<\/em>\u00a0 when your world is in turmoil or when you\u2019re hurting.<\/h2>\n

We all know it at some level\u2014we need relationships<\/em>.\u00a0 To learn. To grow. To heal. The main purpose of everything<\/em> I offer in my work is to help you know you\u2019re not alone in this thing called life.<\/p>\n

But sometimes it\u2019s the middle of the night or your appointment is next week or you\u2019re out of town or I\u2019m out of town, and you need to feel less alone now<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t talk to me now, I still want to offer you a helping hand. During change-filled, uncertain, or painful points in my own life I\u2019ve clung to comfort and support from insights, inspirations, new thoughts, and shared experiences that other people have been thoughtful enough to write down<\/em>. Because when they\u2019re written down, I can look at them whenever I need to.<\/p>\n

And sometimes?<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/p>\n

Finding that one sentence that speaks to your experience at just the right time can make you feel the dawn of connection to the world.<\/em><\/h2>\n

<\/blockquote><\/div>

\n

Can make you realize you\u2019re not crazy for feeling the way you do.<\/p>\n

Can tilt your perspective into an angle that brings focus to the dizzying thoughts that spin through your head when you\u2019re all by yourself.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m a collector of words.
\nQuotes.
\nPoetry.
\nArticles.
\nAll kinds of written words that inspire, console, comfort, challenge, and teach.<\/p>\n

And I write my own words down, too\u2014to make sense out of things for you and for other therapists who help people like you.<\/p>\n

Not all of these words will help you all of the time. But in this collection of amazing language that I\u2019ve amassed for more than two decades, I bet you\u2019ll find something that fits. Just right. For this moment.<\/p>\n

So sit back in a comfy chair. Wrap your softest blanket around your shoulders. And make yourself at home:<\/em><\/h4>\n
