1/6/2019

By: Keith Dixon, MFT-LP

7 Misconceptions About Family Therapy (And why it's the best tool for restoring peace and happiness in your home.) www.ManhattanMFT.com

By Dr. Amanda Craig, LMFT

No type of therapy can be more vulnerable, intense, or rewarding than family therapy! At the same time, family therapy is often the most misunderstood and the most resisted type of therapy.

In many cases, the road to the first session is a long and perilous one, fraught with shame, guilt, anger, and self-condemnation. Those brave enough to walk through the therapists’ doors had often overcome ingrained misgivings, judgements, prejudices, shame, or embarrassment.

The Screen Dilemma: Set Boundaries, Create Balance, and Get Your Life Back www.ManhattanMFT.com

By Dr. Amanda Craig, LMFT

How do we live our life and make room for being with our children while we are working so hard on building a good life for them? This blog post offers some simple tools.

By Amanda Craig, PhD, LMFT

I’m waiting for my son to get home from school. It’s a beautiful day and I know he is going to want to play soccer, then football, and then play hockey with lacrosse sticks and a soccer ball. Brutally honest, I am thinking about the couple of e-mails I would like to send and loose ends I’d like to wrap up before the end of business day.

Motivation, Procrastination, and the Sleight of Hand.

Motivation, procrastination, and the sleight of hand. www.ManhattanMFT.com

By Alex Peskin, LMFT

The best magicians make us think we are seeing something that is hardly possible to believe. Really, unless we are lost in Hogwarts or Westeros, we know that what we are seeing is actually a sleight of hand.

Distraction and misdirection lead us to focus somewhere else while something significant is still happening right in front of us.

You might not realize it, but some of the best everyday magicians are those of us who are lacking in motivation.

When we are stuck, we use distraction and misdirection to avoid facing the painful truth about our lack of productivity and effectiveness. Procrastination is one of the big tricks we use.
