It's getting harder and harder to look up and get connected. I am fully aware of just how engaged I am in what happens online and on my iPhone. Where are we going, and what happens if we don't look up and get connected? This is not a critique of anybody's lifestyle because I am part of it, not above it or below it. ...

Overcoming Fear is Not as Easy as a Bumper Sticker Slogan

We know there are male and female therapists and counselors who have misused their power and connection to coerce clients into having sex with them.
