I have been privileged to witness more than one such fairytale ending in my practice, and it's not about my magic wand…it's about you, and what you're willing to discover about yourself.

Relationships


If relationships are causing you sleepless nights – you are not alone. Among the variety of challenges that bring people through my door, relationships rank high. Singles, who are trying to sort out why some relationships have failed, or want to find and sustain fulfilling partnerships, are showing up. You might be struggling in a marriage and wish to seek your own answers apart from marriage counseling. Sometimes you get so caught up in your role as spouse, mother, or father, that you need to spend some time getting back in touch with you.

You are an important part of any relationship. Isn’t it worth the time to find out why you do what you do? “O.K., Judy, so now I know why I keep pushing men away; why can’t I just stop doing that?” A young woman asked me. Unconscious programming is complicated; rewiring is even harder – but it can be done. It requires someone who is willing to work for the results he or she wants. I am a hard worker and I promise you that I will stick with it until you reach your goals.

I can’t promise that you’ll meet the man or woman of your dreams – but perhaps you will become a person who attracts more functional men and women. “I’m still attracted to drunks”, one patient admitted, “but I stopped marrying them!” We laughed. Happily, she went on to begin a great new life with a sober man she met in an adult educational course. I have been privileged to witness more than one such fairytale ending in my practice, and it’s not about my magic wand…it’s about you, and what you’re willing to discover about yourself.
