Love is never enough - 4 stars by Aaron Beck

All of a sudden it occurred to me that this counts as family drama. A nonfiction book about how to deal with it.

Reading a number of books in preparation for my course in couples counseling - training graduate students to learn different models for working with couples. I also hope learning about these various models and theories, they can learn something to grow with, as we are all navigating relationships and their inevitable impasses in our lives. I hope they become skilled clinicians, blending intuition and experience and beliefs with theory and techniques. This one is from a cognitive therapy perspective. As a psychodynamic clinician, I am always drawn to going deeper, but I found this a rather fine start. It will be fun to teach.

Is this book one you are teaching in your class?

This one is for Class Two this Thursday. There are countless others.

I didn't realize that you also taught. That's exciting.

It’s actually pretty new. It was one of my life teams to teach on the graduate level, and this just happened. Like I didn’t expect to be doing this just to two weeks before the big bar mitzvah, but I’m really grateful for the opportunity. I plan to pull off both events well. I’m pretty impressed with myself that I managed to also meet all of my challenges this month despite how hectic things are.
