These are cognitive therapy views of people's characteristics and experiences. Contact me at if you have a question you'd like to see answered.
| Perfectionism | Perfectionists rain on their own parades. If a person needs perfection, he will be chronically dissatisfied, even depressed, because of the habit of believing that if something isn't perfect, it isn't worthwhile at all. | |
| Anger | Anger is a normal human response. People get angry when things go wrong, or when someone interferes with them or blocks them, especially if it's seen as "unfair". Anger, and the expression of anger, can be adaptive. | |
| How to Develop an Exercise Habit | Just knowing that something is good for you doesn't make it easy to do. Exercise has been shown to improve emotional problems such as depression and anxiety, and to have a positive effect on self-concept. | |
| Premature and Delayed Ejaculation | Occasionally I'm asked for help with sexual dysfunction issues. Since sexuality is complicated in humans, there are many things that vary from person to person, as well as things that can go wrong. Sometimes people think there's something wrong just because their functioning is not exactly average. | |
