I am not a therapist, but I did earn an N.C.W. by studying for over 60 years at the School of Hard Knocks.
N.C.W., by the way, stands for No Credentials Whatsoever.
I do have a lifetime of training both as a life coach and a clairvoyant.
Recently, one of my coaching clients told me that I listen and connect with her better than any of her long list of therapists she has had over decades.
She asked if I would do weekly sessions with her as her therapist.
Whatever the hell that means, I said yes.
Nothing has changed.
We start sessions with a guided meditation.
She brings up challenges.
I reflect, empathize and make a suggestion here and there if she asks.
We tap at the end to integrate what we talked about.
I often end by channeling her guides, and sometimes I channel a song to put the icing on the cake.
Whatever brings out the tissues is fair game.
I asked myself, “What, if anything, do I offer her that traditional therapists don’t usually provide?”
Yes, EFT tapping, as well as picking up my guitar and channeling a song to her inner child at the end…I admit these are not traditionally done in old-fashioned therapy.
But the one thing I do that differs from traditional analysis has nothing to do with what I do, but what I hold in my consciousness about my clients.
I come from the assumption that they have no problems, no dysfunction, and especially, no need for fancy labels that diagnose her ‘condition.’
We all share the same diagnoses – We are all exhibiting symptoms of the human condition.
I see her and her life through the lens of three of the most healing words in the universe::
Not a Problem.
Most people walk around convinced that there is something wrong with them.
In my presence, at least for an hour, they borrow my eyes and experience themselves without their usual self-diagnoses.
Challenges?
Difficult feelings to face?
Coping strategies that helped you survive, but now you are ready to leave behind and thrive?
Hell, yes!
But the only thing that is ever wrong with you is the misunderstanding that something is wrong with you.
Try it on for size.
You just might fall in love with yourself and with the adventure of being human.
Not a problem. Not a problem. Not a problem.

Holiday Gift Ideas
This may shock you, but I recommend any or all of my books for holiday presence!
You can find them here: https://shorturl.at/2pXt7
My latest is called Mindful Masculinity – A Book For Men and the Women Who Love Them, although, with the amount of women reading the book and then begging their men to read it, we are thinking of changing the name to Mindful Masculinity – A Book For Women and the Men Who Want to Keep Them!
Teach Me How To Love – My first book and the most personal. Filled with my trademark humor and vulnerability. It reads like a memoir, but slips some personal growth through the back door.
Oh the Places Your Ego Will Go! – Yes, I channel Dr. Seuss. Everything in these pages rhymes, including the preface.The perfect gift for anyone who wants to laugh your way home. 100% Certified Dogma Free.
How To Evolve During The Trump Experience Whether Humanity Joins You or Not – I wrote this in 2017 and it is even more relevant now.
Again, you can find them mere: https://shorturl.at/2pXt7
That’s all for now, folks!
Let me know if I can serve you in any capacity.
Sincerely,
