Living a life of both/and

Written by: Annalise Wintz We know that life is not black and white; there is a ton of grey area when it comes to issues, making decisions and even how we feel.

Managing the Instinctual Drama Triangle

Written by: Ashlee Wong, MA When I was younger, I had dreams of being an actor. Not that I had any real talent to speak of, but I used to imagine myself in the movies or TV shows I watched and thought that I could be a successful actor living a wonderful, glamorous life in Hollywood.
