Happy fourth everyone!
At the rentrée scolaire this year, I would like to put in place some support groups for expats. A group for parents, a group for general support, and a group specifically for women who struggle with eating problems. Low fee and limited number of participants. More details to follow. Enjoy your Saturday!

Or how psychoanalytically trained therapists listen…The therapists would offer unworkable solutions… (“let’s bring your wife in and tell her how you’re feeling” …!!!) or ask “well, how does that make you feel?”Lousy, obviously…It takes years of training to not get “caught” in...

There are practical real-life reasons one should not rely exclusively on online psychotherapy. If you take your health seriously, consider working with someone who is alive in the room with you. Your doctor cannot do clinical exams by video, and a therapist misses important information about your health without you there.
