How to Get Through the Holidays Without Stress
The holiday season is upon us. Do you greet it with trepidation? Festivities bring us together with family. Are you dreading that experience because you have to act as if everything is peachy when it isn't because you are really having an awful time and can't wait to find an excuse to leave? In psychology we call that pseudo-mutuality. Pseudo means false. In other words, the smile on your face is hiding your true feelings of unhappiness, anger or boredom.

Relationships: Don't Settle For Less Than the Best
Do you settle for relationships with people because you secretly believe that you can't do better? I once knew a wonderful and loving minister who used to tell a story about one of his parishioners who came to him for guidance. She was a lovely woman who was having trouble financially. She told the minister about her low paying job and how she could barely pay her bills each month. The minister took a twenty-dollar bill out of his pocket and offered it to her. She recoiled, saying that she couldn't possibly accept it.

How to Parent Your Adult Child
In the last few years I have created a new niche in my practice, counseling parents of adult "children." Perhaps it is a result of the fact that people are living longer that my clients are often over 65 and are as frustrated over their relationships with their grown-up sons and daughters as they were when their offspring were toddlers or teens. Although society has many rituals to celebrate the rites of passage into adulthood such as graduation from school, bar mitzvahs, and weddings, we have no way to demarcate the passage from "child" to adult within the family.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Gloria Arenson
Peace on earth can start at your fingertips.My dream is to teach the world to use EFT. I envision a world where teachers use this method to help their studens learn better, doctors help patients cope with pain and fear, and families tap together to resolve anger, and frustration so they can communicate better. Imagine a world where people take a few minutes each day to eliminate anger, fear, worry pain and grief. We will see less violence and more love.
