What Can You Learn from Your Best (and Worst) Relationships?

August 21, 2019 by James Robbins, M.A., LPC

Best-Worst Relationship - Dallas Whole Life Counseling

I had a cat who compulsively pawed at her own shadow on the wall. Sometimes this habit seemed to entertain her. Sometimes it seemed to frighten her.

Zen and the Art of Doubting

July 17, 2019 by James Robbins, M.A., LPC

Most people like to think of themselves as open-minded. Yet the vast majority of people are anything but. Why is this? The Imperfect Circle There is a sacred symbol associated with Zen.

When in Doubt, Choose Connectedness

July 9, 2019 by James Robbins, M.A., LPC

Choose Connectedness - Dallas Whole Life Counseling

Like it or not, you are connected at an intimate biological level with everyone that comes across your path. Suppose I find myself on an elevator with a stranger. Maybe I’m feeling stressed that day, so my breathing is faster, more shallow. I’m nervously shifting from foot to foot. Studies show that this tends to… CONTINUE

Is Your Phone Keeping You from Growing Up?

February 9, 2017 by Ruth Okeefe

by James Robbins, M.A., LPC When a child is learning to sleep by herself, a teddy bear helps. The parents give the child a cuddly sleep companion to remind her she is safe and cared for even when alone in the dark. Her bear becomes an important friend, and a kind of stand-in for her parents. She sleeps… CONTINUE

Do You Suffer from Time Traveling Disorder?

February 6, 2017 by Ruth Okeefe

by James Robbins, M.A., LPC Fear and anger are at the core of every negative human emotion, thought and behavior. Depression and anxiety.

Each of these comes down to one of two things: Fear of someone taking something from you in the future. Anger toward someone… CONTINUE

Are You Ready for Change?

February 3, 2017 by Ruth Okeefe

by James Robbins, M.A., LPC “Let your refrigerator inspire you.” I recently said this to a client. “Because of the wine, you mean?” she said. Not because of the wine. Or at least not just because of the wine. Consider that little light inside your refrigerator. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been since you last opened… CONTINUE
