Chapter 5: A Journey To Reconnection

A burnt out parent is likely to scream a lot, due to irritability, and this can create conflict in the parent-child relationship. Pausing to reconnect with our children, even in moments of discipline, is essential.

The Art of Living Deliciously

A graduate of Antioch University in Los Angeles, she’s a psychotherapist serving for over 20 years, and has been dedicating herself to design and present programs on how to live with GUSTO by taking charge of one’s health in body, mind, and spirit. Her workshops, newsletters, and videos provide diverse ways to communicate with the people she serves.

Her book titled “Living Deliciously: Recipes to Welcome Joy into Our Lives” is a compilation of her newsletters including exercises and reflections on how to “squeeze the juice” out of life. Melissa’s most recent book, From Burnout to Bliss, will add to her creation of learning tools for preventing and emerging from a sense of being stuck professionally and personally.
As part of her private practice, through speaking engagements, she has served audiences such as the Los Angeles Police Department psychologists; Writers’ Guild of America; UCLA Human Resources students; Association of Los Angeles County African-American Employees; Latino Behavioral Health Institute Conference; California State University Los Angeles faculty; and Community Parenting Program in the City of Santa Clarita. In addition to private practice, she serves as a psychotherapist at the California Institute of the Arts and Adjunct Faculty in the School of Cultural and Family Psychology at Pacific Oaks College and Children’s School. Essentially, Melissa perceives the development of life-affirming routines as the core of thriving and “deliciousness”.
