		<description><![CDATA[Here are some helpful suggestions about how get the most out of your work in therapy: During sessions: If you are coming in as a couple for marriage counseling or relationship counseling, strengthen your ability to listen while your partner talks with the therapist.  Refrain from interrupting and check with your internal reactions as you’re hearing your partner’s thoughts and feelings. Use “I” statements rather than “we” statements. Talk about your own reactions and thoughts rather than blaming someone else or yourself. Decide what you want to work on between sessions; set small and manageable goals for yourself.

		<description><![CDATA[Q:  Should I use my health insurance to pay for therapy? A:  There are pros and cons to using your health insurance benefits to pay for mental health care. Pros: If you have coverage to see the provider you choose, it will probably be cost effective to use your health insurance to pay for services. Whether you are self-employed or work for an employer, you effectively pay a lot of money to have health insurance and it may make sense to get the most out of your benefit package by using insurance for therapy. Providers on health insurance panels are &#8230; <a href="http://www.lornahecht.com/should-i-use-my-health-insurance-to-pay-for-therapy/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Evie: My boyfriend doesn’t like it when I talk to my girlfriends about our problems. He says I’m sharing our personal business but I tell him I have to vent to get things off my chest. I tell him it helps me feel better but he’s still mad, especially since he found out I told my girlfriend about a huge fight we had last week. I think he’s just embarrassed because he was such a jerk. Aren’t I right-everybody needs to vent? Therapist: I know this might seem off topic, but how was your parents’ marriage?

		<description><![CDATA[Q:  My husband and I are having a lot of problems lately.  I asked him to come to marriage counseling but he says I’m the one with the problem so I should just go by myself.  How can we work on our relationship if he won’t even admit he has a problem? Q:  My daughter, Estelle, is 17 years-old.  She’s causing the family a lot of trouble.  She’s failing her classes, missing school, and hanging out with kids I don’t trust.  She is very rude to me and her sister and she won’t do any of her chores.  She also &#8230; <a href="http://www.lornahecht.com/your-family-is-an-emotional-system/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While listening to media personalities speculate about the circumstances and cause of Whitney Houston’s untimely passing I’ve heard several people say with certainty; “No one was there for Whitney”. There have also been statements to the effect, “Living in the limelight is overwhelming and celebrities are surrounded by enablers who give them anything they want.” While these things are undoubtedly true at times, I’m thinking about Whitney’s tragedy another way. Amy Winehouse’s signature song Rehab (Amy was another famous casualty of toxic fame/substance addiction/rebellion/etc.) has a lot to say about what’s really going on in relationship systems that are marked &#8230; <a href="http://www.lornahecht.com/giving-the-help-that-helps/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
