Do You Want Things To Be This Way A Year From Now?

January 8, 2019 by Margie Wheelhouse

“If nothing changes, nothing changes.” I don’t know who first said that, but it challenges one of the biggest obstacles to a better life:  waiting.  Some people call it “hope” — hoping things will get better — without a plan.  Other people call it fear — holding on to what you have because change sounds […]

Are You Afraid To Eat The Last Piece of Pizza?

September 21, 2017 by Margie Wheelhouse

You Know You Want It Go on, admit it:  that last piece of pizza sitting on the cardboard, still kind of hot and bubbly and cheesy, looks darn good.  Mmmmm.  If you were alone right now, it would be so gone.  You may even be full, but you would still eat it.  And yet, you […]

Ten Clues Your Relationship Is Contributing To Your Depression

February 15, 2017 by Margie Wheelhouse

What Causes Depression? Depression has been linked to many factors, including genetics, medications, trauma, and various life issues.  There are probably more possible “suspects” than there are treatments.  It can be helpful to look at everything when trying to narrow it down.  You need to find what will finally give you relief from the emptiness […]

December 14, 2016 by Margie Wheelhouse

November 10, 2016 by Margie Wheelhouse

Have you ever had the feeling that you know everything there is to know about your husband (boyfriend, wife, whatever)?  What if there was a magic potion you could take to reverse that?  To bring a sense of “Vuja De” into your life?  I would define it for you, but it will be more fun […]

This Mindset Shift Could Help You Feel More Confident

June 21, 2016 by Margie Wheelhouse

Fighting Over Something Stupid Again?

March 15, 2016 by Margie Wheelhouse

It Seems So Silly People who come to me for couples counseling are so often frustrated because they keep having battles over the dumbest things ever.  Like when something happens and you suddenly feel upset but it looks trivial to the other person.  You try to just let it go, but it keeps coming back.

What the heck are you waiting for?

March 10, 2016 by Margie Wheelhouse

Your Happiness Matters Okay, so you aren’t happy with the way things are.  That’s not so bad, right?  Everyone has to put up with bad stuff.  True enough.  Life can be full of awful stuff, and there’s nothing we can do about it.  It’s a virtue to be able to put up with life’s hard […]
