My last column was about four words I believed could make the world a better place. If a person could simply say to another, “Tell me your story,” and then listen quietly, both people would change. Within days, I received hundreds of letters requesting “Tell Me Your Story” bumper stickers I’d promised free, and almost […]
On Healing 6/25/2007: 4 words can change you and others
It came to me in the middle of the night a couple of weeks ago, four words that could change the world: Tell me your story. These four words could have an impact on everything from global conflict to personal well-being. All we have to do is ask others to tell us their stories and […]
On Healing 6/11/2007: Learning to trust and love again
Dear Dr. Dan: I read with great interest your May 14 column on healing after betrayal, but you didn’t say anything about couples who break up. My husband was the “offending spouse” and we recently divorced after 20 years of marriage. I still feel all the emotions you mentioned: shock, anger, sense of loss, and […]
On Healing 5/28/2007: Sam, you teach us so much: There are lessons to be learned from a 7-year-old.
Dear Sam, Happy 7th birthday! It’s hard to believe that seven years have passed since I first wrote to my grandson in this column, on the occasion of your birth. I wanted to welcome you into this world, tell you how much you are loved, and share some of my thoughts about what it means […]
On Healing 5/14/2007: Lost trust, can it ever be revived?
More than half the letters I receive from readers are about infidelity and broken trust. A woman discovers her husband is having an affair or is involved in Web pornography. Some men tell me they are worried because their spouses spend more time with “friends” at work than at home. Sometimes infidelity is about sex; […]
On Healing 4/30/2007: Va. Tech tragedy and the need to be secure
In the two weeks since the tragic massacre at Virginia Tech, we have learned a great deal. We learned that Seung-Hui Cho had been troubled his whole life and that, despite several attempts, the mental-health system was not able to provide the care he needed. We learned that he was bullied and that no one […]
On Healing 4/16/2007: Fear can remain long after its cause
Dear Dr. Dan: My husband wants a child, and I am ambivalent. I am not sure I would be unhappy with a child; I might accept him and bond with him, but I might also resent my husband if it becomes difficult to deal with or if I end up doing the majority of child […]
On Healing 4/2/2007: They’re choosing the life that remains to them
If you were Elizabeth Edwards; if your raison d’etre were to change the world by electing former Sen. John Edwards president of the United States; if you discovered you had Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer; what would you do? It’s always easier to focus the debate on someone else, but let’s say you’ve just learned […]
On Healing 3/19/2007: Girls are becoming ‘sexy’ too soon
Last summer, I took my niece to a store that specializes in clothes for girls ages 7 to 14. I was troubled by what I saw. Thin little girls were coming out of the dressing rooms in flimsy halter tops and tanks, T-shirts with flirtatious writing on the chest, cotton pants that announced eye-catching slogans […]
On Healing 3/5/2007: If you’re depressed, this is what you should do
Dear Dr. Dan: My adult daughter is in desperate need of psychological counseling. She has been unhappy for a long, long time but rarely talked about her feelings and, for the most part, has been putting on a brave front that has broken down due to a recent personal rejection. She has been home since […]
