Asking The Right Questions
The cliche goes that therapists nod their heads wisely and say: “And how did that make you feel?” They do say this sometimes; and in fact, when no one has ever asked you this question before, it’s extremely powerful when they do, repeatedly.
This repetition starts to have an effect: it makes you see that your feelings are valid; they aren’t right or wrong – they just are.

The Past Holds Clues
We survive (in the broadest sense) our childhoods by figuring out how to fit into our families, our roles, our small world; we learn about relationships from our parents. We then carry these ways of being into our adult lives where, in many cases, they are no longer useful, or relevant.

Self-Acceptance Is Real
This phrase is bandied around so freely in self-help articles and on fridge magnets, it has almost lost its meaning.

Don’t Be Afraid of Silence
Silences are often when the juiciest things come out. It takes courage to sit with it.

- How should this get done?
- Is this the best way to do this?
- Is there a more efficient way to do this?
Ask Questions

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
