Break Up with Traditional Psychotherapy

Just about everyone is familiar with the definition of insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."  Many people have gone from therapist to therapist, telling their story over and over . . . yet nothing changes. If you can see the irony of trying to treat mental health with the very blueprint for insanity, perhaps it's time for a different approach.

Feeling better doesn't require going to therapy for years and years.  It doesn't even require you to go to therapy once a week.  It also doesn't mean you have to take medication for the rest of your life . . .  or ever!

What if feeling better was simply a matter of changing how you relate to others, as well as how others relate to you?   What if you could experience fulfilling, satisfying relationships by taking control of your own well being instead of being swayed by the moods and whims of others around you?
