Helping kids make apologies to their parents (or the other way around), husbands to wives (it seems to go this way most often), organizations to individuals (e.g. when a church leadership apologizes for insensitivity to a neighbour who complains about a building project or a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are lots of reasons to laugh. First, laughter is fun – and fun is reason enough for all of us to laugh lots. Secondly, because non-laughers are usually boring and uptight people. The kind of people we don’t want to laugh with anyways. Thirdly, because laughter cleans out the psycho-social pipes when things are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have people tell me that “1 out of every 2 couples divorce.” The tabloids say it often so you think it must be so. But it is not my experience &#8212; and I am a marital therapist who sees people who might have lots of reason to divorce (and, or course, some do).

The Canadians played as brilliantly as the US team and, as needs to happen in competitive sport, one team won. The US team put in more hockey [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mostly I ask questions to my clients. But I receive lots of questions as well. Here is one: “Are there some people you don’t counsel because you don’t think you will be successful?”
That’s a good question and with some people I am less capable than others.
I think that I work best with couples and families, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In October 2007, Krista Tippett interviewed Jean Vanier, the founder of L&#8217;Arche. Tippett is the host of &#8220;Speaking of Faith&#8221; on American Public Media, one of my favourite blog sites and a source of great spiritual-theological gain for me.
Of all of Tippett&#8217;s interviews, this interview with Jean Vanier is spectacular &#8212; I would say life [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Christianity Today magazine has an informed and persuasive article on perfection and parenting. Find it at &#8212; http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2010/january/12.22.html
The subtitle reads, &#8220;why the best parenting techniques don&#8217;t produce Christian children.&#8221;
Needless to say, I loved the article and wished that I had written it! Leslie Leyland Fields is witty and wise, digging deeply into Biblical theology.

		<description><![CDATA[Conflict and relationships go together. A conflict-free marriage is an oxymoron.
Why? People mature at different rates; they have different values (some they don’t even know they have); and people see and experience the world differently. And all of this leads to tension that can result in conflict. And sometimes we wonder if marriage is worth [...]]]></description>

Recently, on a BC Ferry, I came around a corner to hear a tiny mite of three-year-old fury, screaming “I WANT __________” to her parents, who were doing their best to ignore both the child and the stares of the other passengers.
I can’t tell you what she wanted. When my children were young I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anais Nin commented that “we don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are.”
Acknowledging this – that our life and especially our pain, skews our seeing and our thinking – is the first step in mediation and conflict resolution.
If the psychologist observes this when two parties are deeply stuck and viciously divided, [...]]]></description>
