Talk of sex addiction is everywhere . Celebrities are admitting it. Tiger Woods went to rehab for it. Was that great PR to get public sympathy or can sex really be an addiction? ‘Why care if you’re a sex addict?’ Clients have asked me this question many times.

Here's some information so that you don't confuse the two. Helping When you help someone you are doing something that they cannot do for themselves -- but here’s where the line gets blurred.

Are You 'Too Sensitive?'
Most of us at one time or other have confided in a friend, or family member, and later realized that it was not such a smart thing to do. You may have disclosed personal information and they gave you uncalled-for advice. You may have been judged and hurt your feelings - but if you tell someone personal information, you must be aware that there may be consequences. It's not what you say, it's whom you say it to. Different boundaries have to be set with every person you know. There is no such thing as being too sensitive.

Holiday Survival Skills
Holiday survival? You better believe it!! With the holidays round the corner, most of us find ourselves searching survival skills.

We all have things that we would like to change about ourselves. However, in the quest for perfection we can get blindsided by our faults. We can get so wrapped up in them that we can become obsessed. When we have anxiety about our failures, we are unable to learn from our experiences.
