Introduction
The idea for this book came about from my work with my clients. I realized that I was saying many of the same things over and over again. It’s not because of a lack of imagination (though I have been accused of that). It’s just that over the years I’ve noticed that certain ideas and suggestions are more helpful than others. I also prefer ideas that will have the maximum benefit with the least amount of effort and in the shortest amount of time. Of course, there are no ‘magic pills’ and not everything will work for everyone. But I believe I have found some ideas that will help so many people, that I usually recommend almost all of them to almost all of my clients.
First, a little information about me. I have been a licensed professional counselor in the State of Texas since 2011 and started my private practice soon after. Being a counselor is a second career for me. My first career was in the sciences. I have always loved the outdoors and studying science, so when I went off to college, I studied biology. After a series of odd jobs and a stint in the US Peace Corps in Nepal, I decided to go back to graduate school because I realized that I really wanted to teach biology and wanted to deepen my understanding of biology in order to be a better teacher. So, after getting my masters of science in biology, I was lucky enough to get a teaching job at Baylor University where I taught biology to college freshman for three years. Then I got a job with the Texas Education Agency to help develop a standardized test they were creating at the time. Then I started a string of jobs working with publishers to develop study guides and test prep materials, using my understanding of biology and my knowledge of the science education.
Though I loved science and science education, I found that I hated my work. I was far from working with people and seeing the work that I do improve their lives. I was also the most depressed I had been in a long time. I had no purpose and the daily grind of waking up, going to a job I didn’t like, going home to play video games until I fell asleep, just to start it all over again was slowly killing me and I could feel it. I saw counselors and they gave me some good insights, but I found that what helped me the most were some of the ideas I present in this book.
So, at the age of 36, I decided to change careers and go back to school to become a counselor. I was also tired of working for other people and feeling like I was out of control of my life, so I resolved to go into business for myself as quickly as could. I learned therapeutic modalities, such as solution-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which align with my philosophy of helping clients quickly and efficiently.
The group of clients I work with the
