AdditIonal Resources
 
This section offers a collection of "Self HelpTools" that have assisted me and many of my clients in our life journeys. My hope is that some of these will serve you as well.
 

For Individuals
As I mentioned in "My Counseling Philosophy", my approach to counseling has been powerfully influenced by Buddhist thought and the teachings on forgiveness found in "A Course In Miracles".

You may click here to explore the website of Pema Chodron - an American Buddhist teacher whose work I hold in the highest regard.

For Couples
My all time favorite "Self Help" resource for couples is an out of print book entitled "A Book For Couples" by Hugh and Gayle Prather. Fortunately it is still available at www.amazon.com.

For Families
I have written a brief guide to creating successful family meetings entitled "How to Have a Family Meeting". This material will teach you and your family the basic principles and procedures involved in having satisfying and effective family meetings. To request a copy of this material, which I will send to you at no cost via email, please drop me a note at [email protected].

For Political and Environmental Activists
In addition to signing up for the free "Imagine Peace and Plenty" mailings (link here), I encourage everyone interested in spiritually based political / environmental activism to get acquainted with PEERS (Public Education and Empowerment Resource Service) at http://www.peerservice.org/ . You can sign up for PEERS mailings at http://www.wanttoknow.info/subscribe and begin exploring the PEERS sponsored free "Transformation Team" training materials at http://www.transformationteam.net/ .

And a Movie That Says It All!

To link to my all time favorite movie "Ground Hog Day" click here.  Groundhog Day summarizes in a humorous way everything my counseling work offers, as Bill Murray finds himself at a crossroads that ultimately leads him into discovering his inherent desire to be his authentic self - a self  in which intimacy, creativity and compassion are the easy and natural expressions of who he (and each of us as well) really is.
