Ponderings on the World of Dating and Relationships

-->

By Adrienne Kather, LPC

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about dating and relationships. Not only because I have just re-entered dating/relationship world after years of not being in it (even during years of being single), but also because many people in my life are in various stages in dating/relationship world as well. It seems to me that it’s an often confusing and difficult place to be because there are hardly any easy, black-and-white answers to the questions that come up. I don’t have the answers, but I’d like to share the things I’ve learned/decided for myself and the things I’m wondering about.

New Year's Revelations

By Cindy O'Donnell, LCSW

    Every year since I can remember, on Jan 1^st, New Year's Resolutions are made.  These are usually things that we want to try and improve on, things we want to change.  We make resolutions to lose weight, stop smoking, spend more time with family or friends, be more kind, etc.  We make these kind of resolutions and then around about Jan 20^th they are promptly broken.  Sometimes we may feel guilty about this, sometimes relieved, but mostly our resolutions are forgotten. 

Yes, Another Post on New Years Resolutions

By Nicholas Smith, LPC

Thanksgiving is in a few days; three weeks later we have Christmas and New Years. What happens however, when you are grieving the loss of a loved one this year?
