What To Do If You Have It All But Are Still Anxious Or Depressed
When I counsel people with depression and anxiety, they often say that they don't understand why they feel depressed or anxious. People who have a good job, a good loving family, and enough money get confused over their feelings. Consequentially they don't get any sympathy from their friends or family because they don't understand it either.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Frank Healy
You can heal the traumatic affects of your past memories.
You can master your thoughts and feelings, they do not have to master you.
To appeal to someone's ego, treat them as though they are the most important person you have ever met. To appeal to someone's soul, interact with them in a spirit of total acceptance and therefore, love.
The victim is not the person who is being judged. The victim is the person who is doing the judging. They are the unhappy one. The person being judged does not have to judge back.

How to get started
You may or may not have heard of the study at the University of Califo ia where are around 50 people who have the ability to remember every day of their life since mid childhood. I am one of the people they are studying and it includes the actress Marilu Henner. This ability had it's dark side. When I recalled an unpleasant memory I experienced it with the same emotional intensity as if it were happening now. Through my training in couseling and the creation of my own techniques I learned to let go of the bad feelings, such as sadness, anxiety, anger , guilt and resentment.
Although you may not have the memory that I do, you may have some negative beleifs form past memories and they may be interfering with your life. There are many ways that this could show in your life. If you get a heavy feeling, if you feel you do not fit in with others or don't belong in the world. You might be hesitant to set any goals because you are afraid of failure, or if you have set goals you may not be reaching them. Have you tried to apply the Law of Attraction but it just does not seem to work for you?
I can help you eliminate everything that stands in the way of your happiness and success. My book Heal Your Memories, Change Your Life has exercises that I have used successfully to help my counseling and coaching clients. It inclues stories form some incredible people who overcame a truamatic abusive childhood, a head injury, school bullying, as well as other of life's travestries. If you would like additional help.
