Relationship Realities
http://relationshiprealities.wordpress.com/
Rediscovering what is authentic and what works in relationships. This blog was started as an extension of my Therapy Ideas Website. It is for people who want to learn more about themselves, using a foundation of ideas from therapy along with books and movies from popular culture. After more than thirty years of working with people, I want to share how I think about therapy, values, life, and interactions. I will offer many topics with ideas for change as a way to challenge yourself.
