There is a reason why you are reading this today. You are stuck, or your life is in crisis. In my therapy practice, I don’t see people for emotional tune-ups. It just doesn’t happen that way. There are plenty of self-help books and mindfulness practices for that. What about you, right now? If you are a concerned parent, your child is extremely emotional, or is coming apart at the seams. If you are in a relationship or in a marriage, you are considering ending it. If you are a middle-aged businessman, or perhaps a mother whose young adult just left for college, you are wondering what you should do with the rest of your life.
