Three Steps Toward Relationship Development
You know how people say that psychologists go into psychology to deal with their own issues? Well, I am one of those. Psychology gave me clarity and a path towards healing. I believe psychology can provide insights to help us heal our world today. I have a unique vantage point because I listen to people's problems and their pain for a living. Often, their pain is caused by others excusing their actions, even when it hurts. I have experienced it too. However, beneath pain, there is always an unmet need. When I look at the world around us, filled with division, climate collapse, racism, inequity, and trauma, I sense that something fundamental is missing. I believe that missing piece is ownership. In fact, I think the world needs radical ownership. This term captures my theory of our need to be accountable for our actions.

It Started with Being Petty
Ah, the good ole' days. As a kid, I was kind of a menace. But I like to think I was a menace in cleverer ways than most other kids. I was told constantly by the adults in my life that I was so kind and caring and gentle. Now of course, as a child, I had my very obvious moments that proved quite the contrary. But my temperament very much matched the descriptions they gave me. What they didn't realize though, was that both of my parents were also very smart. And so, after I learned the tricks they used to tell if I was lying or being deceitful, I realized I had to step up my game.
