Fearless Living - rise in love

I think we’ve all done enough damage with this whole “falling” in love thing. Yes, the initial descent can feel pretty amazing, but oh, the inevitable collapse on the other side of that bliss, no matter how pure our initial intentions.

As a part of our year-long focus on Fearless Living, let’s choose another aim. This year let’s rise in love instead of fall.

For all the newcomers, this is the fourth month in a year-long series on how to live fearlessly. As a Denver therapist, my goal is to help each and every one of you become the superhero in your own life. Each month is designed to help you explore, process, practice, and (yes!) master an area of your life fearlessly. I invite you to check out previous months, in which I discussed a brief introduction to fearlessness, loving yourself fearlessly, and dating fearlessly.

With your new skills in the arenas of both self-love and dating, chances are good you may find yourself in the near future feeling those fuzzy warm tingles for someone special. I can’t think of a better time to help you approach the next stage of your budding relationships with new insight and guidance by exploring how to love fearlessly through rising in love.

Learning to ask yourself “will this create distance or connection?” can be a helpful step in cultivating more satisfying relationships.

In this post, we’ll dive into the delicate balance between behaviors, often influenced by your attachment style, that foster connection and those that might distance you from people in your life.

Covert Narcissism: Recognizing Subtle Signs in Relationships

Our perception of narcissism has evolved beyond labeling individuals as “narcissists” when they act overly self-important. While characteristics associated with overt types of narcissism often grabs our attention, its lesser-known counterpart, covert narcissism, is often more subtle in relationships. In this blog post, we'll explore covert narcissism, its prevalence, characteristics, and the challenges it poses, particularly within dating, marriage, and other relationships.

Understanding the Spectrum of Narcissism

It’s important to note that there is a difference between traits of narcissism (e.g., what are commonly talked about in pop psychology) which is descriptive rather than a clinical word, and the clinical diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) as outlined ...
