Valentine's Day Tip

March 19, 2013 | Author: Mey Saephan

So sorry, last month things got so busy, I thought I had posted this Valentine's Day Tip, but I had only done it on Merchant Circle, but this can be applied in your relationship throughout the year.


Valentine's Day can be a happy day for those receiving the loving gestures on Valentine's Day, but it can also be a stressful day for those attempting to make loving gestures in a special way to bring out a smile from your loved ones. For those of us who are trying to think of a loving gesture, we often think of gifts only, but that isn't the only way. Think of doing something that will make the love you communicate go full circle. How does one do that? Think about all those things you are grateful for about that person.



This person doesn't have to be in a romantic relationship with you. It could be your Mom, Dad, children, or friend. Maybe you haven't been very communicative about their loving gestures toward you. Valentine's Day is a day of reflection on your relationships, on how they have made you feel special. Communicating how important they are important to you makes them feel good! We all like to know that we matter and make a difference in the other person's life, otherwise, we feel we are not needed in the relationship.

I often challenge my clients with the question, "How and when is love communicated?" Love is communicated when the receiver, receives the loving gesture with gratitude. You see, when the receiver is not grateful, then love was not communicated. No matter how much effort and heart was put in it, that loving gesture was done in vain.

It is so important to show gratitude when a loving gesture is made toward you. So on this Valentine's day, show gratitude for your significant others' loving gestures toward you, coupled with your loving gestures toward them, you will have a higher success rate in communicating love on this Valentines Day. When you do both of those things love has gone full circle. Good Luck!

go paperless

Everyone is struggling during this COVID-19 pandemic. Access to in-person therapy sessions has come to a halt. I had to adapt to like all businesses and helping professionals. Transitioning to a paperless practice has been a huge feat for me without IT help, but I am finally able to practice without creating another paper client file! My patients will no longer have to handle a single piece of paper or sign with a pen! You will receive therapy via video and sign all your therapy documents electronically! Providing Telehealth therapy took some getting used to but based on my research and my experience providing video therapy, I found it to be just as beneficial as in-person therapy. There are many benefits, but a few of them are no more fighting through traffic to get to my office or go through dreaded tunnels or crossing bridges you are deathly afraid of. You can do therapy from the comfort of your home or office, and no more trying to find childcare because you can be home and receive therapy at the same tim

Schools, churches, conferences, birthday parties, weddings, and employment have closed down. This is an anxiety inducing time for caregivers and children. As caregivers, we need to sit down and debrief with children. Find out what they are seeing and hearing through their social media outlets. Empathize and help them modulate their fears. It doesn't help children, when we tell them not to be afraid because their brain takes in data and tells them otherwise. For example: If your 10 year old son or daughter fortune-tells that he or she will get sick and die, you may respond by saying, "You are very scared that you will get sick aren't you? Daddy doesn't want to be sick either. Because of all the things we have seen on TV and on the internet, it is frightening to think about getting sick. I have seen them too."
