Self-sabotage at its core through judgment, comparison, and competition. How to sit and connect with yourself with meditation without rules and limitations. Creating habits as long as you&#39;re in touch with your emotional, physical, and mental hunger. Uncovering who you want to be when you &quot;grow up.&quot; The importance of open communication with your intimate partner. How to start focusing on yourself now, what you want, and how to share that with a partner who will support you    There&#39;s now greater and greater recognition of how important it is to sit down and get present to your breath and your mind. I know it can be horrifying to sit there alone with yourself and the horror is that you think you&#39;re going to disintegrate, there&#39;s too much anger, or you&#39;re going to get scared because in the quiet we might start to hear the stuff we&#39;ve shoved down that we didn&#39;t want to be aware of. However, if you can feel those things then you get to heal those things. - Briar Flicker-Grossman    About Briar Flicker-Grossman   With over 25 years of experience as a Contemporary Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, I work with individual adults, teens, infants, and couples dealing with the difficult experiences and issues life presents. Come to understand your thoughts and feelings more deeply, as we work together to develop your gratification, feelings of accomplishment, happiness, and fulfillment. Specific issues are less relevant than the way we determine to work together. I specialize in helping people develop by expanding their capacities to think, feel, and integrate these in often unconscious areas. We explore whether coaching or therapy is better suited to your needs and proceed. Licensed for 30 years, certified
