Looking for a prospective partner, the fear of empty nest,
The health of elderly parents, the generational shift,
The pain of the ego, the trauma of the single parenting,
The anxiety of good health, the fear of intimacy,

The Alcohol ‘ism”, pre-marital and extra marital, the wedding celebration,
Dealing with the grief of losing parents…etc.
This is the “Gutthi” of the ‘stories’ I experience with the people I work with.
Well the content is sometimes real and sometimes imaginative…after all, we do wear our thinking hats. My “Pittara” of stories stays in my therapy room and goes with me as I travel.

The lies do not have feet.
The truth comes to you walking.
The sacred pause.

He said, “I want someone special.”
She asked, “Are you someone special?”
