  Transform Your Trauma, Unlock Your Purpose

  Posted on March 6, 2016 by Cathy Roberts in Anxiety, Depression, Psychotherapist Rockville MD

  “It is through the transformation of your personal trauma that your purpose will appear.” A colleague shared these words with me this week and they struck me as oh so true! All humans have experienced a multitude of traumas in our lifetimes. Small ones and large ones. Layers of small traumas can impact us as […]

  Set For Life, Make Adjustments and Let Go

  Posted on February 6, 2016 by Cathy Roberts in Anxiety, Psychotherapist Rockville MD

  Set For Life, Making Adjustments and Letting Go In January I wrote on the theme, if you can relax in any position, you will be set for life. I’m pretty sure it will take a lifetime or more for me to learn this skill! As I write I notice a twinge in my left shoulder, […]

  Set For Life, Breathe

  Posted on January 23, 2016 by Cathy Roberts in Anxiety, Depression, grief and loss, Psychotherapist Rockville MD

  Set For Life, Breathe   The last few weeks I’ve written on the theme, ‘if you can relax in any position, you will be set for life.” Last week I wrote about gathering supports. Once supports are in place, just breathe. Many of us on the East Coast did this in real time this past […]

  Why Feel?

  Posted on October 24, 2015 by Cathy Roberts in Anxiety, Depression, grief and loss, Psychotherapist Rockville MD

  Why Feel? Can you imagine being unable to feel physical pain? You would not know your coffee is too hot to drink, your ankle is broken, or that you stayed too long in the sun. Can you imagine being unable to feel emotional pain? You would not know someone was mean to you, dangerous to […]

  Do You Pay Regular Visits To Yourself?

  Posted on October 18, 2015 by Cathy Roberts in Anxiety, Depression, grief and loss, Psychotherapist Rockville MD

  Do You Pay Regular Visits To Yourself? My favorite poet, Rumi, asks this question, followed by “Start Now.” Paying regular visits to yourself means you learn to be with your mind, body, and spirit, just as you are. Over time, you learn to tolerate all that comes up when you do this courageous act of […]

  Psychotherapy? Ewww That Sounds Scary!

  Posted on September 19, 2015 by Cathy Roberts in Anxiety, Depression, grief and loss, Psychotherapist Rockville MD

    Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced. Soren Kierkegaard Psychotherapy? Eww That Sounds Scary! After watching me tack my business card to the bulletin board at the healthy food store, the teenager carrying my groceries to the car asked me what I do. I’m a psychotherapist, I […]

  Embrace The Shift

  Posted on June 27, 2015 by Cathy Roberts in Anxiety, Psychotherapist Rockville MD

  Embrace The Shift What do earthquakes in Alaska, the removal of Confederate flags from the shelves of Walmart, and the SCOTUS decision on gay marriage have in common? In a word, SHIFT. The geographic, social, and political structures that we think of as being so stable and certain are anything but. The energies involved in […]

  Good Coming Out Of Darkness

  Posted on June 1, 2015 by Cathy Roberts in Anxiety, Depression, grief and loss, Psychotherapist Rockville MD

  …Good Coming Out of the Darkness…   These words, in the title of a Monday April 20, 2015 Washington Post article marking the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing of a federal building, caught my eye. This phrase captures the essence of Vitality Weekly. Whatever challenge, difficulty, darkness you, I, we as a group, […]

  Looking For The Good

  Posted on March 28, 2015 by Cathy Roberts in Anxiety, grief and loss, Psychotherapist Rockville MD

  Looking For The Good This week I was deeply touched by the plight of the passengers on the Germanwings flight that the co-pilot evidently crashed into the French Alps. My imagination returns again and again to the pilot, crew, and passengers of the doomed flight and the terror they must have experienced when they realized […]

  Looking For The Good

  Posted on February 23, 2015 by Cathy Roberts in Anxiety, Depression, grief and loss, Psychotherapist Rockville MD

  “I have come to see that there is good in every situation. Sometimes we just have to look for it.” Kayla Mueller While she was imprisoned in Syria by the Islamic State last spring, Kayla Mueller wrote these words in a letter to her family. Wise beyond her years and deeply compassionate, Kayla’s writing is […]
