    So you are my age, 61, and worried about memory aging? But you are a Boomer and we have grown up with a "can do", "we can change it" kind of mindset, and over the course of your life, you have watched your world change because of choices you and others have made individually or in concert.

  • Anger Counseling
    Anger counseling is a many splendored beast. Ever heard that old AA phrase or acronym HALT, for example? The acronym means that we are at greater risk for relapse when we are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired.

  • The Brain In Love
    You arrive at your buddies house for a barbecue, six pack and bratwurst in hand. It is a spring day and you are still glad that lawn mowing is more needed than snow shoveling. You begin to make your rounds, greeting old friends, insulting their sports allegiances and perhaps their politics as only guys do to guys.

  • Assertive Communication Skills
    We talk a lot, and those conversations, if we use assertive communication skills, can make a big difference in how our relationships go. If I have anything to add to the assertive communication skills dialogue, it is an awareness of how rapidly we change internally based on our perception of and interpretation of nonverbal communications.
