20 years of love
|  |
March 2013 will mark the 20th year that my husband, Mike, and I have been together. We married under Reform Judaism October, 2000.
We have both worked very hard to get here. I don't put much value in the length of time a couple has been together as much as I value what it took for them to stay together and the process by which they made it work.
Mike and I have worked extremely hard to make this the best marriage it can be. I have never loved anyone like I love Mike, nor have I been as loved by anyone, as I am by Mike.
To mark our anniversary I have created a video and uploaded it on YouTube. I hope you enjoy it.

BOOK RECOMMENDATION
101 Lessons In Love: A Couple's Guide to Choosing Passion by Deborah Mueller Deborah is a therapist and has worked with my Center for Relationship and Sexual Health.
Her latest book is one which I highly recommend for couples looking for ways to express their love and affection to one another.
Discover new pathways to finding more love, more joy, and more acceptance with your partner, spouse, soul mate, or lover. Whether you are passionately in love looking for that new adventure or struggling to stay connected 101 Lessons In Love: A Couple's Guide To Choosing Passion will help you learn how to sculpt each other with love, how to recognize the power of your attention, and how to keep your love evolving as one. Each chapter contains a question to spark communication between you and your partner about avenues into each other's lives that have yet to be explored. The hope is that this exploration will lead you to a deeper understanding of both yourself and your partner that enhances your happiness and love. Then you and your partner are challenged to take the lesson and make it your own by taking specific actions to create a stronger, more intimate, and passionate relationship. It is never too late to capture the fun and excitement. The time is now. Begin your journey to passion and love.

Greetings!
I truly hope that whether you are partnered or single you find a way to enjoy Valentine's Day. You don't have to be in a relationship or even be dating to make the best of this day. Use it as a day to express your love and appreciation for someone you care about.
My favorite quote is from my mentor Maya Kollman, an Imago Relationship Therapist, trainer and workshop presenter:
"Love is a feeling, followed by a decision, followed by a behavior"
Make that happen today!

This presentation will change the way you see trauma in people, and it will help you become a better helping professional. The current statistics are: one in three women, and one in six men will be sexually abused in their lifetime - reported. So how many assaults are not reported? And why?? This workshop will make you look at the general population differently. It will help you understand the traits that are characteristic of people who have suffered the trauma of sexual abuse, specifically traits that are unique to male survivors. This seminar will explore why it is especially difficult for men to talk about their sexual abuse, and it will present this point (and other points) with personal, anecdotal evidence to illuminate the humanity of each survivor and how powerful their struggles - and recovery - have been. It will give you some tools to facilitate healing, specifically among men who most likely will have trouble processing what is probably one of the most difficult experiences of their lives, one that is often overlooked by many clinicians, and one that often interferes with everything else. This workshop could be the missing link to help you help your clients find their voice, find their peace, and reclaim themselves and their lives.
