“I know you say that frustration and challenges are an invitation to intimacy. But I don’t get that. And it doesn’t work in our relationship. So what am I supposed to do next?” my client asked in total exasperation. “It takes a lot of courage to come and ask what you’re supposed to do,”…
“I had no idea that my faith, about expecting the worst, was actually creating the worst,” my client said with exasperation! I waited. Moanfully she said, “That moment in your webinar was a game changer for me. I always believed that if I expected the worst, that anything better than that would be great. Little…
“I scheduled this premium appointment because I simply must have a breakthrough in my life. Like my life is deteriorating before my eyes! I hope you can understand that this is not just something I desire, but something I simply must have!” my returning client from years ago proclaimed. She had come through my outpatient…

“WHEW!
