| | | | | | What is a Family Healing Session?
The Family Healing Session is one of the most advanced and effective tools available at this time in family counseling and coaching. It is especially helpful to remove blocks that prevent healthy communication and connection within the family. The family healing sessions are most successful in creating more harmonious and loving relationships. They also support the resolution of longstanding conflicts between parents and children. Ideally all family members, parents and children alike, participate and gain a new foundation of open, honest sharing and greater love. It has been said by many who have participated in our Family Healing Sessions, that this experience was equal to and greater than several years of therapy! Click here to read more. |

| Making Psychological Sense of Kathy Griffin's Anti-Trump Stunt
Like much of America last week, I watched in utter disbelief at the train wreck that was Kathy Griffin, as she continued to dig her own ditch in the aftermath of the stunt she pulled, posing with an artificial, severed head of President Donald Trump in an ISIS-style beheading. The entire Trump family was rightly outraged and called on Griffin's entertainment associates to distance themselves.
After a nationwide uproar, CNN was forced (reluctantly) to part ways with the raunchy comedian, who is a regular at their annual New Year's Eve television show. It also seems that most of Griffin's "Celebrity Run-In Tour" shows across the country have now cancelled their dates with the controversial comic. Click here to read more at The Christian Post. |
| | Connecticut and Nevada Latest States to Ban Therapy, Christopher Doyle Speaks Out
Chris Doyle, ex-gay proponent of SOCE therapy and himself a licensed therapist, provided The Christian Post with a statement Thursday denouncing the passage of the bill. "While the vast majority of states continue to vote these bills down, unfortunately, the children in Nevada are the latest victims of political correctness gone wild at the hands of liberal politicians and gay activists," stated Doyle. "No child should be denied the right to get the therapy that fits their values, and no parent or family should be told they must accept that their child is gay or transgender if they believe their son or daughter has underlying trauma that may be causing these unwanted feelings."

“While gay activists continue to get cheap victories in liberal states like Connecticut, the ones that are losing are vulnerable young people who are conflicted and confused about their sexual and gender identity, some of whom arrived at their confusion due to sexual molestation,” said Doyle, who has fought liberal bans against reparative therapy across the country. “So now, the state has raped them again: first, at the hands of their abusers, and second, at the hands of ignorant politicians who know nothing about mental health or the young people whom they are supposedly protecting,” he said.

| | Coat Hangers, Electric Shock, and other Leftist Myths
A consumer fraud complaint has been filed with the Federal Trade Commission by a consortium of counselors and physicians against the deceptive practices of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and others. Yet the same old, same old lie about counseling for unwanted same-sex attractions was repeated in a recent article by Reuters. Click here to read more at WorldNetDaily.com.

| | ABC's '20/20' Contacted Me for 'Gay Conversion Therapy' Story, But Ignored What I Told Them
On March 10, ABC's "20/20" aired a year-long investigation on several "Christian camps" reported to be practicing so-called "gay conversion therapy." Shockingly, the exposé revealed unspeakable abuse and torture by several unlicensed "pastors" operating reform schools for troubled youth, some of whom identified as gay or lesbian. Unfortunately, ABC was more sensational than accurate in their reporting when comparing these rogue, abusive camps to licensed therapy for youth struggling with unwanted same-sex attractions and gender confusion, a practice that gay activists have aggressively sought to shut down in more than 25 states and cities across the country.
