Phoenix Effect Process

A Valentine GIft For Yourself

by gloria on February 11, 2012

Feb 14th is approaching and thoughts of love are in the air. My latest Ebook, Grownup Love:Getting It and Keeping It, makes a great Valentine’s Day gift for yourself or a loved one. I had to write this book for a number of reasons. The first reason is because I am a veteran Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with over thirty years of experience. I have successfully counseled numerous couples whose relationship was in trouble as well as clients who were trying to figure out why they had no love relationships or were in an unhappy relationship and couldn’t or wouldn’t let it go. Still others were distressed by the realization that they kept choosing the same kind of unsuitable partner over and over again.

The second reason I wrote this book is that not only have I coached people about finding the right relationship, I have also lived most of the same experiences as my clients and know what it feels like from the inside out. I have been widowed, divorced, been attracted to the same type of dysfunctional partners more than once, and have also been in a harmonious marriage for over thirty years. Therefore, I know what it is like to be miserable in love and what it takes to find true and lasting love.

A long time ago I attended a talk given by a relationship specialist who said something that I have never forgotten. He said that the goal for people who want a successful relationship is to achieve Grownup Love. He said: The “having it all” relationship is a relationship between two grownups who have done their own work, and in whom the head, the heart and the genitals are lined up!

What does that mean? What kind of “work” do you have to do in order to attract your perfect love and live happily ever after? This Ebook will take you on a journey of self-exploration and self-transformation. I will direct you in taking an inventory of your life, exploring what lessons you can learn from all your romantic relationships both positive and negative, your beliefs about love and about yourself as a lovable person, and awareness of common patterns that you repeat although they may be painful.

I will teach you to use EFT and the Phoenix Effect Process to heal the past and eliminate negative beliefs that block you from attracting the right mate for you. If you are already in a relationship you will be able to change your negative reactions to your partner as you see yourself in a new and more positive way.

The book is filled with stories of people just like you who used these methods to create love and happiness.I hope that these stories will give you courage to achieve your love goals and enjoy the “having it all” love relationship.

Start Your New Year’s Resolutions Early

by gloria on December 22, 2011

Although we are still in the midst of the holiday season, perhaps you are already thinking ahead to your New Year’s Resolutions. Do you want to lose weight, stop procrastinating, say no to post holiday sales that max out your credit cards, or give up any other bad habit?

If you get a Kindle or Nook for Christmas or Hanukkah you can try it out by purchasing one of my how-to books that are now available on digital readers. My latest, Grownup Love: Getting It and Keeping It, is now on Kindle as is Five Simple Steps to Emotional Healing. If you have a Nook, you can also find How to Stop Playing the Weighting Game, Desserts Is Stressed Spelled Backwards, EFT for Procrastination, and Born to Spend (although you might want to read this before you do any more shopping).

I just received a copy of the beautiful book, Open to Hope: Inspirational Stories for Handling the Holidays After Loss. Drs. Gloria and Heidi Horsley have compiled essays from many people who write about how they have dealt with losing loved ones. I am proud to have my story included. You may know someone who would love to have this as a gift.

My goal for 2012 is to continue to learn and to teach about Energy Psychology. I will have that opportunity on January 21, 2012 when I offer a full day’s training in the Phoenix Effect Process in Santa Barbara for the Santa Barbara City College Adult Education program. This is open to everyone. In April 2012 I will teach another one day class based on Grownup Love at the same locale.

Plan ahead and meet me at the June ACEP Energy Psychology conference in gorgeous San Diego CA.
Meanwhile, I wish you a happy and healthy Holiday and New Year.

How to Be a Sexy Senior Citizen

February 5, 2011

One night I was watching a very old black and white film from the 1940’s and noticed that graying, older actors were portraying characters who were supposed to be in their fifties. Fifty was considered old age back then. Of course back in the 40’s Botox hadn’t been invented and not as many women colored [...]
