As I need to say all too often these days, if you grew up in a household with a mentally ill parent and/or with destructive conflict, last night’s #debate may have been especially triggering or upsetting. As an adult tho you have power. #vote #wednesdaymorning #survivor #mentalhealth #nyctherapists #therapistsofinstagram

Devastating news but #RuthBaderGinsberg was a fighter who made a tremendous difference in the status of women during my lifetime. So thankful, and determined to keep working toward change and integrity in these hard times. Sometimes on insta, mental health comes across as an experience of total serenity. Wrong. Learning to accept and regulate our feelings is necessary but not sufficient. Contributing our energies and talents to help create a better life for those we love, for our community, and for the wider world: that’s the meaning and purpose that keeps us going for a lifetime. #riprbg #therapistsofinstagram #therapist #purpose #nycpsychotherapy

Stressed out by lockdown homeschooling, work from home, and chore wars with your partner? I was interviewed by @yahoofinance ‘s @cashay_official site on how to create the changes you want and stress less. Be sure you’re not making some basic mistakes that shut down communication, like an ongoing pattern of criticism instead of a regular sitdown to share feedback! A few words too on how all screen time is not alike. Link in bio. Thank you Stephanie Asymkos! #chorewars #parenting #wfh #homeschooling #marriage #stressrelief #covid19 #lockdown #lockdown2020

#challengeaccepted @lynda_anne_fisher. Thanks for asking.

Excited to be quoted in The New York Times on how couples can get through emerging from lockdown together. It’s all about getting past the desire to win and focusing on respectful listening. https://www.nytimes.com//at-home/couples-coronavirus-pande Thanks to @amelia.nierenberg for including me in this super helpful piece. #relationships #marriage #covid19 #lockdown #lockdown2020 #phase3 #therapistsofinstagram #family #nyctherapist #nycmarriagecounselor

Home together for 20-plus days now? How’s it going? Thanks to @maddy__sims for including me in her helpful piece 12 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Relationship While Social Distancing. Boundaries, alone time, and clear but gentle communication all go a long way.

Did an interview with The Knot for disappointed brides- and grooms-to-be. It’s sad to have to postpone your wedding because of the pandemic, and it’s ok to feel that way! And it’s a chance to learn something about the real meaning of marriage.
