What cancer takes from us and what we are left with instead Next week Tuesday, January 16th, would be my mother's 71st birthday. Probably it would consist of gathering us all for dinner and some cake. Likely at my house, with her grandchildren more interested in the cake than anything else. It wouldn't be anything fancy, perhaps not even particularly memorab...

Parenting Tweens and Teens: Learning to Ride the Wave Last night my tween age kid was trying to finish a rather complicated science project. It wasn't going quite according to plan and she'd procrastinated so time was short. The clock was ticking and she was already up past her usual bedtime. If you are a parent of any kid that has made it through to m...

What are we going to do about our bodies? How do you feel about your body? What kinds of messages have you gotten throughout your life about your body and its place in the world? Maybe you have heard that your body is too small or too large? Perhaps you were told that you needed to change your body in some way? Body dissatisfaction doesn’...

What does it mean to age well? I was listening to Tracee Ellis Ross be interviewed on NPR about her work and her many years in the spotlight. I’ve always admired her as a woman who engages life on her own terms, and I like her shows, the iconic Girlfriends and more recently Black-ish. In this interview Ellis Ross started talkin...

Letting our grief move us towards each other I’ve been thinking a lot about how emotions shape us, particularly when navigating grief. After loss we can find ourselves spilling out everywhere, all of our feelings leaking out of every pore of our beings. In these moments we find ourselves randomly weeping in the grocery store or yelling at so...

Beyond the Baby Blues: Experiencing Postpartum Anxiety I just had a baby, I’m supposed to be happy, what’s wrong with me? My body is a mess, I feel so tired all the time, and now I can’t sleep. My mind won’t stop running. I love my baby, I really do, so why am I having these scary thoughts of harming them or myself that come out of nowhere? Have...

Aging is not for the faint of heart... About a week ago I did something reckless. I was out sledding with my kids and someone had constructed a small hill of snow on the sledding hill. This was acting as a sort of mini-mogul (and that’s being generous, it was just a little mound of packed snow). I watched my kids zip down the hill and ...

Understanding Depression: Have you read The Silence that Binds Us? Books have been my jam since I was a child. In particular, I love novels. Lately I’ve been reading more and more young adult authors, mostly because these narratives tend to bring together my curiosities about the human experience and issues of identity. Young Adult (YA) novels usually have middle...

https://www.wolffclinicalgroup.com/post/reflections-on-death-and-the-process-of-grieving

Reflections on death and the process of grieving I think about grief a lot. I read books and articles about grief and the process of dying. I follow stories on social media of tragic illnesses, diseases, and eventual death. I look for memoirs that chronicle the death of loved ones. Mostly I'm trying to really hear the human experience of death. An...

The Importance of Friendship In my work as a therapist, I find that I spend a lot of time talking with people about their relationships. Of course, family relationships come up regularly, but you might be surprised at how often friendships and peer relationships take center stage in our lives. Most of us expect that teenagers w...

https://www.wolffclinicalgroup.com/post/relationships-why-do-they-matter-so-much-to-us

Relationships: Why do they matter so much to us? Relationships create psychological space and safety so that we can explore and learn. This space offers emotional and psychological resources for times of stress. Human beings are social, we grow and develop when we interact with others. We seek out relationships and attempt to make connections even...
