The Men's Group Seminar:
Manson's "The 3 Paradoxes of Life"
10:15 to 11:30 AM
Mark Manson is a controversial self-help author, consultant, and blogger who is perhaps best known for his 2016 book
"The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life."
Although I am not really a fan of this book, his recently released article
"The 3 Paradoxes of Life"
is intriguing and insightful.
In the next meeting of the Men's Group Seminar on Saturday, December 21, 2019 (10:15 to 11:30 AM),
we will review Manson's article.

The Relationship Group Seminar:
Heartbreak
11:45 AM to 1:00 PM
The heartbreak suffered when a romantic relationship ends may be intense, persistent, and difficult to resolve. A majority of clients in my clinical practice have experienced painful breakups that, in one way or another, have left wounds that have not been able to heal. Psychological research portrays heartbreak as a considerable trauma which may result in an increased vulnerability to, and compromised capacity to cope with, newly-emerging stresses, failures and rejections.
A large body of work, both in the popular and scientific literatures, exists on the psychology of heartbreak.
In the next meeting of the Relationship Group Seminar on Saturday, December 21, 2019 (11:45 AM to 1:00 PM),
we will consider the most compelling contributions to the understanding of heartbreak I have been able to find. Among these are a
Scientific American article
that argues that time does not necessarily heal all wounds, a
TED Talk by psychologist Guy Winch
that describes the tendency to idealize our previous romantic partners, and a
blog posting
that characterizes how the mind negotiates the phenomenon of a broken heart.

The Dynamic Psychotherapy Process Group
1:15 to 2:30 PM
This therapy group utilizes the emerging dynamics among group members, and between the group members and facilitator, as a basis from which to examine one's characteristic ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to others.
Our next group session will be on Saturday, December 21, 2019 (1:15 to 2:30 PM) at the Laguna Hills office location.
T
he Dynamic Psychotherapy Process Group is a therapeutic experience and entry occurs only after a pre-group screening interview.
