Next Topic:
"
Things to Do For Those Holiday
Blues"
Tune in online at Web Cast TV
30 or, for
Tri-Valley
residents, watch television channel 30 to
hear host Robin Fahr and I discuss a few of the
challenges that come up during the holidays. This is a
busy time of the year when we are not following our normal
routine. We tend to do stressful things like
over-schedule, over-eat, over-drink and over-spend! We
are traveling and might have jet lag to contend
with. We often need to adjust to having house
guests or we are the house guest ourself. We might
also be struggling with how to navigate the first holiday
following a divorce. And it can often seem hopeless
trying to find the best way to handle
those painfully controlling family members who seem to
change the whole mood of your precious family
gathering.
So how do we reduce the stress a
bit and increase the potential for having good
experiences?
Tune in to pick up a few tips on dealing
with those challenging family issues and even ideas for
dealing with the negative effects of simply having less
sunlight. Did you know that having less sunlight
during the winter can actually change your brain
chemistry? Your holiday depression could be
reduced by treatment that addresses this sunshine
deficite.
So if you will be facing a difficult
issue over the holidays, make a couple of
appointments at our office to develop some new
strategies. It can increase the enjoyment factor
a great deal for you and your family.
And if you
would like to fine tune your parenting approach a bit
and learn a few new ways to respond to your
child's behaviors, schedule a few play
therapy sessions or parenting sessions.
It can help things go much smoother for everyone in
your family. That way, your family gets to spend more
time having fun together!
Join us for our "Conversation" at one or
more of these times to pick up a few helpful tips!

Where to begin? If you have ideas
that you would like to develop, projects that you want to
complete or things that you have always wanted to do but you
seem to get stuck... come in for a few sessions and
discover how you can begin to move forward again! Turn
your ideas into reality, at last!
As a
Team We Address:
-
Multi-level
assessment of your
needs - What
seems to be blocking your
way
- Clearly define your
goals
- The challenges of making
changes
- What motivates you
the
most
- Develop new ways of getting things
done
- Utilize your existing
strengths
- Reduce overwhelming
feelings
- Receive important
support & solutions
- Create a personalized
plan & strategies
- Learn
to pace with your
needs
- Manage stress levels more
efficiently
Many of us feel a
bit overwhelmed when we begin to think about a big
project or a long-standing dream. With our bigger
ideas and desires, it is also harder to imagine the multiple
steps that it takes in order to meet those goals.
So, we are
often not sure that we can actually get where we want to go
because we can't quite visualize the whole path.
Then the longer-term goals seem to have their
biggest payoff further into the future. And you know
how much we are hooked on that feeling of instant
gratification!
Moving Forward
Again
So, come to our office for some
support and solutions. Then you can put yourself back
on the path of moving forward again and
finally completing some of your important projects,
goals and dreams!

6-Session Assessment &
Solutions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Why do my
kids act that way? They are great kids and really
smart, so why do they..."
- Not listen to you when you
talk
- Hit you or
others
- School struggles
&
conflicts
- Fight with siblings
-
Have tantrums in public
places
- Tell lies and exaggerate the truth
Start the year off on a positive note by
finding out what your child is trying to tell you through
their coded language of behaviors. Once parents learn
to read their child's behavior more accurately a new level
of cooperation and happiness can open up for the whole
family.
Session
1
Includes one or both parents to
discuss the issues you are concerned about and an overall
history of your child's emotional and physical
development. You will receive suggestions of things
that might help at this initial
stage. These
recommendations become more detailed as we move through
the six sessions.
Session 2
Includes your child and one or both
parents. And kids usually love coming in to
play. The issues discussed in Session 1 determine the
exact configuration of who attends this session.
Through our play, we begin looking for important clues from
your child about what they might be struggling with.
Session
3
Your child comes in for
individual play
therapy
where we continue to create a safe
place together so they can begin exploring what might
be going on in their world. If the child is very
young, two or three years old, then it is often
most productive to have one parent included in the session
as well.
Session 4 &
5
Your child works on expressing
their feelings through our therapeutic play and putting
feelings into words. As their sense of safety and
trust develops, your child begins the process of
resolving some of their issues.
Session
6
Parents come in
alone to discuss the improvements and changes they have
noticed. Solutions will be provided that are
tailored to you and your child and we will give
you recommendations for the steps you might want to
take next in order to keep this positive momentum
going.
Add valuable tools to your
problem-solving repertoire in a supportive
atmosphere. We build on your existing
strengths as you go through this process of
change. Then the most positive outcomes are made
available to you and those you
love.
Contact our
office to learn more about these two important
Assessment and Solutions series and to schedule an
appointment. Your child's difficult behaviors are
very stressful for them so they will thank you one day
for helping them learn how to feel better. And
the same goes for you and your
stress too!
