A reading from a recent Medium post titled "Let your clay be moist": on practicing deep listening, openness, and community.

A reading from a recent Medium post “Start with small consequences first; give yourself somewhere to go.” Part of an occasional series about phrases that this therapist finds himself repeating, often.

A reading from a recent Medium post entitled “Be a Habit Change Detective: the crime of New Year's resolutions”. I reference Duhigg's book The Power of Habit, but also the Transtheoretical Model, all within a tongue-in-cheek, film noir framework. Fun, huh?!?
