I have been interested as to when,how, and why people change for a long time. No doubt my decision to become a therapist and life coach had to do with this curiosity; however, I also saw myself as playing a part in the change process. Most of the time it is a crisis that [...] A friend sent me a link to a YouTube video on The Power of Words. You will see how by just changing the written words the same message is dramatically changed. I urge you to see it a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzgzim5m7oU> Since my expertise is helping people make changes so that they can feel in charge [...] We all want to have power over our own life.
