It's not only about you. Communicating empathy for damage done to the other person is crucial. Don't expect anything in return. It's not their job to forgive until they are good and ready, if at all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668c46d21c41ba75e2b51eec/1778890510958-O8N9LYDCF5Q42DXSA0TG/unsplash-image-H0nmXTsrxE0.jpg Dr. Wexler Psychology Today Blog - Is Your Therapist a Narcissist? Posted February 8, 2026 Key points Your therapist gets a lot out of the work with you—but that's a fringe benefit, not the purpose. When your therapist draws attention to themselves and needs you as their audience, it is narcissism. Your therapy time belongs to you and not to the therapist. Here’s a secret about the psychological life of a psychotherapist: your therapist gets a lot of psychological needs met through their clients. Your therapist typically experiences intimacy, attachment, and connection. They (usually) feel valued and appreciated. They (usually) experience a sense of purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668c46d21c41ba75e2b51eec/1778890633012-JNHZS7COYVKU5A0F7J5S/unsplash-image-2dy2TibmRr8.jpg Dr. Wexler Psychology Today Blog - 9 Things Not to Say When Someone is Upset Posted June 5, 2025 Key points Use the Platinum Rule: "Do unto others as they would like done unto them"—not necessarily what you'd want. Even when you are well-intentioned, there are many things you can do wrong when a loved one is upset. When in doubt about how to respond, ask. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668c46d21c41ba75e2b51eec/541ddf65-458c-4dcd-bf81-14ee54fd3592/pexels-shkrabaanthony-5217833.jpg Dr. Wexler Psychology Today Blog - The Comfort of "I Know You Love Me" at a Relationship's End Posted February 22, 2025 Key points The loss of "the look of love" can wound us more than all the other losses when we break up. If you still feel loved and valued by your ex, celebrate what you still have. Try not to search forever for a positive mirror from someone who may never be able to offer it again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668c46d21c41ba75e2b51eec/6840ea58-701c-473c-be13-4142c0fecb14/pexels-vera-arsic-304265-984923+%281%29.jpg Dr. Wexler Psychology Today Blog - Boost Your Intimacy Posted November 13, 2024 Key points The loss of "the look of love" can wound us more than all the other losses when we break up.

Teens may say that what their parents think means nothing to them, but they're usually lying. The grounded parent doesn't need their teen to validate their self-worth—and the teen will be better off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/668c46d21c41ba75e2b51eec/08e21cd7-949f-4432-82cd-58007c5aee9e/shutterstock_2460702995+%281%29.jpg Dr. Wexler Psychology Today Blog - 13 Ways to Be the Best Man You Can Be Posted August 19, 2024 Key points "Toxic masculinity" was intended to describe rigid and outdated norms of masculinity, not all masculinity. Men can still strive to be masculine without being "toxic"; the guidelines below can help. Even when you have messed up, try to keep seeing yourself as a “good man behaving badly." https://www.rtiprojects.org/rti-bookstore daily 0.75 2026-05-07

Narratives to Treat Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD People all across the world are struggling with loneliness and PTSD and yet most either don’t know how to process their traumatic experiences or have

This is where Superhero Therapy comes in. Superhero Therapy (ST) refers to incorporating popular culture into evidence-based therapy (such as CBT or ACT) as a way to destigmatize the client’s mental health experience. ST utilizes client's passions as a way to formulate the client's strengths that can be used to practice mindfulness, as well as the willingness to face their emotions and better understand their painful experiences. And the best part is, you don't have to be an expert in popular culture to use this approach. Your client is the expert. All you have to be is open-minded and curious. This webinar will focus on how to use ST to help teen and adult clients manage anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms, to feel understood and supported, to expand their emotional vocabulary, and to assist them in becoming their own version of a superhero in real life (IRL). No previous experience with popular culture necessary to participate in this training. Capes are optional.
