July 6, 2019 by Wendy Toth Leave a Comment

call out sick tea

If the words “staying close to the bathroom” have made it into any of your “sick day” emails, you need this post.  I’ve been there.  Especially if you are a perfectionist, type A, overachiever; it’s agonizing to figure out how much detail to give your boss. If you ate at a new sushi place and […]

Panic Hack: “I Feel” Statements Curb Communication Anxiety

August 13, 2017 by Wendy Toth Leave a Comment

There are a lot of moments in therapy, where you go, “That sounds too simple to work.” “I Feel” Statements are an example of this. So you try it because you are paying so much money. And then it works. Later you tell your friend about it and say, “There, I just saved you $200,” […]
