Mother-in-law:
"Yesterday was amazing. I felt pretty drained after our session last night, but I could not get to sleep because I was so wound up with the realization of my anger and how it went back to a fear of being vulnerable. I have been out of my mind trying to figure out why I have to be so angry with my mother in law. Now I feel that anger gone. It's gone! She came over this morning and I had no anxiety. We had a wonderful discussion about what was uncovered in our session."

Divorce with young children:
"When my wife informed me that she was not happy and wants a divorce, I decided to continue seeing Bill on a regular basis. Part of me didn’t think I needed to, but a part of me knew I did. I didn’t want the divorce at all, and this was hard for me.
As I’ve gone through the few months of the changes—which included how to make this work for our young children—I have come to be surprisingly at peace about it all. I’ve navigated the difficult places well. Without the counseling, I would not have understood why our relationship didn’t work and why it would have never worked. I have, instead of resenting my former wife, just accepted her as she is—plusses and minuses—and not put so much energy on wishing she was different.
I have also clearly seen the part I played in this relationship not working. I see that if I hadn’t had counseling, any new relationship would have had similar issues.”
