      <image:title>JOURNAL - Are Your Expectations of Your Partner Bringing You Closer or Farther Apart? - AUGUST 14 2023 A bid for connection refers to an action, gesture, or communication made by one person in a relationship to reach out for a sense of closeness and intimacy with the other person. The ability to both send and receive bids for connections are how we create closeness, communication, sensuality and deep bonding with our partner. We are actually exchanging bids for connection all the time, consciously or not. These exchanges can be subtle non-verbal interactions to explicit verbal conversations.  For example,  physical touch, a shared hobby or activity,  emotional discussion, even playful teasing are all ways we invite and welcome our lovers to connect.</image:title>

      <image:title>JOURNAL - Navigating Uncertainty through Couples Therapy - JULY 30, 2023 ~~ WEST HOLLYWOOD</image:title>
      <image:caption>What happens when you or your partner feel afraid or unsure about the future? It is not uncommon for couples to encounter moments of uncertainty, whether about outside concerns or the relationship. These moments can be daunting, often leading to feelings of fear and insecurity. As a leading couples therapist in West Hollywood, I get to witness firsthand how these emotions can affect relationships. Do you find yourself withdrawing or lashing out when uncertainty strikes? Perhaps your attention becomes scattered, or you find yourself picking fights? Some may even experience physical symptoms, such as exhaustion or illness. So, what if there was a way to learn to trust your instincts, feel safe in your own body and with your partner? This is where the role of a couples therapist in West Hollywood becomes crucial. Through couples therapy, you can begin to unlock yourself from the cage of your past and breathe in the freedom of trust and self-confidence.</image:caption>

      <image:title>JOURNAL - Granola Bars for Sensitive People</image:title>
      <image:caption>PREPARATION Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a glass pyrex or baking sheet with parchment paper.  In a food processor, pulse pepitas and slivered almonds into a coarse flour.  Toss the pepita-almond blend into a mixing bowl and add shredded coconut. Pour in maple syrup, coconut oil and all spices. Using your hands, combine all ingredients into a cohesive ball.  Now taste test ;) If spice levels are to your liking, pour batter into your parchment lined pyrex. Gently press and shape into a rectangle about 2-3” thick, The trick here is first flattening down with your palms or the back of a large spoon, then cinching in the sides until you have a very tightly packed and relatively symmetrical sheet of wet granola. If you ever made rice krispy treats as a kiddo, you’ve got this.    Bake in the oven for approximately 35 minutes or until your granola is golden brown, aeromatic, and firm to the touch but not hard.  Remove from heat and allow to cool.  Once completely cool, use a large knife to slice into bars or squares. I found mine fell apart if I cut them too small, so I suggest cutting into larger bars, about 5 inches long.</image:caption>
