Is Cyberbullying an Epidemic in America?
by Daniel_Faris
August 12, 2015
The bully of years gone by, who stole lunch money or taunted kids about their weight, now seems quaint. Today’s bully has gone digital and is much more empowered because of it. Cyberbullying is the official name for this brand of teasing, and while...

February 10, 2015

by JackElias
November 11, 2014
Someone asked recently about the difference between hypnosis and guided imagery. Many counselors say they use “guided imagery” which they may or may not consider related to hypnosis or hypnotherapy. And if that weren’t confusing enough, sometimes...

by JackElias
November 11, 2014
