Armyofficerwife So whatever happened with your friend? Did he get back into counseling? Has he decided to deal with his issues? Is he making progress? How has your friendship fared with this behaviour?

Armyofficerwife Hello, When others meet me for the first time, I'm not thinking of what they think of me, but I suppose I would want them to see that I'm a warm and caring person who is interested in who they are.

Armyofficerwife Rozie, 2 hours was a very good long time for an intake interview. It sounds as though the practice really wants to place you with the right therapist and because of this you have a very good chance of meeting your goals for therapy. Attending a group while...

Armyofficerwife I have not seen more excellent advice in a long time. You have hit the nail on the head in that a woman who falls for the married men's lines (translate that into lies) is robbed of having a real relationship and is victimized by men who prey on vulnerable...

Armyofficerwife Call the power company and tell them your situation. Ask if you can have an extension on your bill and pay as much as you can right now, if nothing tell them that. They will hopefully work with you as cold weather is here!

Armyofficerwife I agree that trust is an essential part of any relationship, but if your partner's past behaviors is a cheater, and YOU are one of the ones he cheated WITH, do you not think it's naive to trust him or her blindly? This is why I wonder if a person can ever...

Counselling is a ongoing process. It is not about dictating or directing a client, but it is for giving him/her a chance to choose from the directions. Counselors are not to show the way, but to help to find out the way.

Armyofficerwife There are different methods of counseling depending on the issue the patient brings, the goals of therapy they set with the counselor, and each will be different. A good counselor can bring many options for resolving issues, but the main thing is to guide the...

Armyofficerwife Wow, 5 in 5 years, huh? That's quite a few counselors he's gone through. I suppose I would ask why is he even in counseling? Was he forced to by his job, the court, his SO, or did he want to work on his issues himself? Counseling is very HARD work and a person...

Armyofficerwife I'm trying to follow your comment, but I'm having a little difficulty in doing so. Are you saying that if a person trusts a cheating spouse never to cheat again they won't? I know you can never "own" another person, and they will do as they choose. My...
