Feel better about yourself, feel better about your relationship.
When we think of relationships, we normally think of how our partner is treating us, whether we are happy and feel heard. We tend to weigh the pros and cons of the relationship and then consider how we feel about our partner. But what if your happiness in your relationship has as much to do with how you feel about yourself as it does with how your partner is treating you? Have you noticed that leaving one relationship and beginning a new one doesn't necessarily solve everything? At first you think this person is different and now you will be happy forevermore.

6 Simple Tips for Instantly Raising Your Self-Esteem
First of all, we need to define what is self-esteem. From my point of view and experience, I see self-esteem as a way of thinking, feeling, and acting that implies you accept, respect, trust and believe in yourself. To believe in yourself means that you feel you deserve to have the good things in life. It also means that you have confidence that you can fulfill your deepest personal needs, aspirations, and goals. Self-esteem comes from within where you see yourself as a worthy, secure person who feels capable and able to handle whatever challenges may arise.

Could you be living with a narcissist?
We all have had times in our lives when we felt our partner , parent, child or friend was selfish, unsympathetic and difficult. We may even have accused them of being a narcissist. Behaving badly, lacking empathy and being selfish, though not desirable traits, does not alone define you as a narcissist. A Narcissistic personality has a series of severe and long-standing characteristics that are very difficult to change or treat. One of the biggest challenges is that they just don't believe they have any problems.

How to heal from the suicide of a loved-one
Following the tragedy of Robin Williams’ death from suicide, I was struck to hear how many people were affected by his death. Clients, who I was seeing for depression, told me how they thought maybe suicide was a good idea and they seemed to be considering it more seriously since the comedian’s death. Because they seemed to be considering it so lightly, I thought it may be important to learn to what degree the survivors are affected by this tragic choice.

Women and Empowerment
We, as women, are brought up to be nurturers, to take care of everyone else. We are so good at reminding our spouse or boyfriend, to call his mother on her birthday, get the perfect gift for his boss, and make sure he doesn’t forget about his doctor appointments. We tell our children to believe in themselves, speak up for themselves and hold their head high. My question is, who does that for us? As women, we are taught to give and give, to nurture, love, and protect.

What Are The Ten Signs To Tell If Your Relationship Is Failing
Many clients come to me telling me I am the last resort for saving their relationship. Talk about pressure! They say they feel angry and resentful. Some say they have given up hope or feel numb to their partner. They tell me that I am their last hope before contacting the lawyers. Sometimes, it is too late and the walls are up and can’t come down. Sometimes I can see a spark of caring still there, and the relationship can be saved and improved.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Rhonda Rabow
"Treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more if you shared it with someone special .. and remember that time waits for on one. There is no better
time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
Thought for the day. Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like there's no one watching. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift - that's why it's call the present! Live and savour every moment ... this is not a dress rehearsal!"
