You’re Not Planning Your Future if You’re Speaking in the Past
I recently met with a client who has been in a life struggle of hurt and confusion that has left her and her entire family in a sense of loss. They have no idea how to move forward from here. As we were working together, I keep noticing how she tells me stories about what other people had done, how
What Did You Expect? The Need for Clarity in Our Expectations
“They should know”. “We’ve been together since high school. I shouldn’t have to tell him when something is wrong”. “She knows what’s wrong if she’s paying any attention”. Ugh.
