Do We Love To Hate Our Bodies? [EXPERT]

How our obsession with our outer appearance interferes with who we really are.

The other day, I was talking with a client who has lost about thirty pounds towards her goal of fifty. She even found this remarkable when she realized that the thirty-pound bags of soil she was dragging around her yard were the equivalent of what she had lost and had been carrying around every moment of every day.

Do You Feel Like Having An Orgasm Is Next To Impossible? [EXPERT]

We, as females, are all so busy doing a million things in a day: running around; driving in traffic; taking kids to school, sports, and activities; shopping; cooking; career; family; and everything else you are doing.

Loving ourselves for who we are and are not & claiming our Authentic Voice is key to loving others.

by Dr. Lynda Klau We all yearn to be real, to feel connected to ourselves and to others. Often, however, we lose this connection.

Not because I'm a big fan of swimsuits, or super models, or even of sports for that matter, but because my therapist husband (as a recovering sex addict) specializes in helping men whose sexual behaviors have become self-defeating in ways that are interfering with day-to-day living—causing stress on family members, friends and/or work. These guys have issues around sexualizing and objectifying women so they can tend to have more than just a passing awareness of the winter release of that swimsuit model issue.
