Confidence Coaching – Empowering You

October 29, 2014

[caption id="attachment_1931" align="alignleft" width="300"] New York Psychotherapy and Life Coaching[/caption] Who hasn't experienced a knot in the stomach, a lightheaded feeling, or tunnel vision in the moments before a performance, important meeting, or unfamiliar situation? Nobody! Whether you’re giving a talk, playing a song, or simply networking – stage fright is a very real thing. Self confidence is at risk. It is stifling to believe you didn't measure up or worse, you let someone down. It can stop you from stretching to new heights and leave you longing for your safe zone – which might prompt a counterproductive step back to avoid the new challenge. Create your intention. Recall moments you felt fully competent. Tap into that feeling emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and viscerally. Allow your consciousness to absorb all those positive thoughts, feelings,...

Personality Type: Know Yourself

June 11, 2014

Articles, Career, Goal Setting

Personality type has its roots in a psychological theory dating back to the 1920's. The Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung (1875-1961) known for his work on the psyche, ego, personal unconscious, collective unconscious, archetypes, and dream analysis also developed the enduring theory of personality types based on psychological opposites. Jung and Sigmund Freud collaborated from about 1907-1909 addressing Freud’s mission of making the unconscious conscious through the practice of psychoanalysis. Jung’s personality theory explains normal differences between healthy people. He concluded that these differences in behavior stem from inborn tendencies to use our minds in different ways and can be influenced by culture, family, and the environment. Each of us possesses all six characteristics he defined in his personality theory, but we favor one or the other...

Articles, Relationships

Valentine’s Day is the day of love notes, red roses, and heart shaped chocolates. Romance is awakened and we feel reconnected. For centuries, it's celebrated as a day to declare and honor our one true love. Some love it. Some hate it. Some just follow the relationship protocol.
