I am a psychotherapist in private practice for over 30 years. I see individuals & couples in therapy & counseling from all walks of life and with all manner of issues. I hope you will find this blog interesting and informative. Every therapist is different and works differently. These are just my musings.

Today I would like to share an experience that to me illustrates how some people worry about what therapists think.  I was once at a dinner where a woman said of my work that it must be awful because I see people at their worst.  I told her that in fact it was just the opposite.  I see people at their best – when they are the most sincere, most vulnerable and most real.  Except for a very few who don’t stay anyway, I like them all.  I am never put off by the presentations because I can understand and empathize.  That people think so many things are shameful amazes me.

That’s all my musings for today. I liked the following article from Psychlology Today.
