FREQUENT LATE CANCELLATIONS
For frequent late cancellations, your cooperation in payment will go a long way in keeping me happy to continue our work. But it will likely not be so fun for you. Should this become a pattern, plan to spend some of your next session discussing what's causing the frequent cancellations, and see if it makes sense for us to continue. It may be a way of saying you don't have the desire to continue. But: it's not uncommon to unconsciously find ways to avoid an important emerging realization, memory, or some other aspect of the therapeutic work. Although I generally support abiding by a client's choice of direction, frequency, and duration of therapy, in times like these I will become more direct with recommendations. The choice to continue will be something to explore for us both. It is not the essence of my work to invest in a person's therapeutic process when the client is not invested themselves. That is, there may come a time when I will choose to no longer work with someone who late cancels on a frequent basis.

Let's talk about love.
Ah, sweet love. I woke up this morning wondering why I hadn't included it as one of the seven pillars. I don't have a good answer for that, except that maybe I'd thought it was a given. But more often than we might want to admit, I see we as humans couple for other reasons, or we stay together because we "love" each other in ways that don't look like a lot of fun, let alone love.
What's your definition of love? Think about it. Is it loyalty? Is it enduring togetherness? Is it attachment? Is it - dare I say - fear of being . . . (read more)

The Seven Pillars of a Good Relationship
This is a good way to assess your strengths as a couple. Few couples are strong in each category, but when you know your strengths and weaknesses, you can capitalize on them and work on what's falling short.
1. Sharing Core Values
Hopefully a couple shares about 80% of their values on life. This includes things like wanting children, lifestyle choices, and how to spend and save money. But the list is long, and specific to each individual.
2. Ultimate Safety, or in some cases, Enough Safety
Not only do you know you will be physically safe in each other's presence, you also know you aren't the target of verbal or emotional abuse. You know your partner isn't going to (more)
