As a therapist, I find that my children teach me a lot about my clients. I don’t mean to say that my clients are childish, only that they have the same basic emotional needs as my children.

In a world full of life hacks and shortcuts, it’s no surprise that the quick-fix approach has spilled over into the realm of self-help and healing. This is leading to lots of frustrated people, as the things they’re trying aren’t translating to a better, more fulfilling life.
