Monday, April 29, 2013. Oh, I will ramble a bit. Take it in pieces or go get a sandwich. DBT Made Simple Worksheet. 1) The Perfect Patient Mix. Everyone knows who the worst patients are.

Everyone Needs Therapy: CBT and Song: I'll See You in My Dreams

http://everyoneneedstherapy.blogspot.com/2015/05/cbt-and-song-ill-see-you-in-my-dreams.html

Thursday, May 28, 2015. CBT and Song: I'll See You in My Dreams.

http://everyoneneedstherapy.blogspot.com/2008/10/pull-versus-draw-enmeshment.html

Sunday, October 05, 2008. Pull Versus Draw: Enmeshment. Every once in awhile, when we miss our grandchildren, FD will say, "I'm sorry I didn't make enough money to keep the kids in the city. I should have been able to buy them houses nearby, so they wouldn't want to leave.". This always inspires my rousing rendition of that old. Blood Sweat and Tears. And Papa may have. G-d bless the child who's got his own. Who's got his own (big trumpet solo here, great stuff). Called The Plant and Enmeshment. It so ha...

http://everyoneneedstherapy.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-supreme-court-opposition-and-gay.html

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. The Supreme Court, the Opposition, and the Gay Marriage Law. We have to talk about the Supreme Court decision making it a Constitutional right for gays and lesbians to marry in the United States of America. Less than 50 years ago the psychiatric community pathologized same-sex attraction, deemed it a disorder with a real DSM II code. That didn't last long.
