Coaching Couples by Telephone
Not something I want to d, but email and other asynchronous methods might be a goer. This discussion might be worth following up on.
Coaching Couples on the Telephone – Loving With Intention Articles:
This past week I had the honor of presenting to the Imago Think Tank* on the topic, Coaching Couples by Telephone. The participants and I had a lively discuss, and the featured article for this issue of The Conscious Relationship focuses on the telephone as a powerful medium for relationship coaching with couples and other clients who seek out the services of a relationship coach.

Karen Horney – Wikipedia – 10 needs
I see she calls these needs – I have always understood her points as coping strategies.
Hmmm…
Karen Horney – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Moving Toward People
- 1. The need for affection and approval; pleasing others and being liked by them.
- 2. The need for a partner; one whom they can love and who will solve all problems.
Moving Against People
- 3. The need for power; the ability to bend wills and achieve control over others—while most persons seek strength, the neurotic may be desperate for it.
- 4. The need to exploit others; to get the better of them. To become manipulative, fostering the belief that people are there simply to be used.
- 5. The need for social recognition; prestige and limelight.
- 6. The need for personal admiration; for both inner and outer qualities—to be valued.
- 7. The need for personal achievement; though virtually all persons wish to make achievements, as with No. 3, the neurotic may be desperate for achievement.
Moving Away from People
- 8. The need for self sufficiency and independence; while most desire some autonomy, the neurotic may simply wish to discard other individuals entirely.
- 9. The need for perfection; while many are driven to perfect their lives in the form of well being, the neurotic may display a fear of being slightly flawed.
- 10. Lastly, the need to restrict life practices to within narrow borders; to live as inconspicuous a life as possible.
Online Therapy Catching On In Australia
Online Therapy Catching On In Australia | Gov Monitor:
Online therapy sessions could deliver help to thousands of Australians including women seeking help with domestic violence and country people whose self-reliance, heavy work schedule and geographic isolation rule out seeing a therapist face-to-face.
A review of technology use in therapy, counselling and dispute resolution by the Australian Institute of Family Studies has shown counselling in cyberspace holds “a great deal of promise”.
The Institute’s Elly Robinson says the increasing proliferation of online therapy sites offers an alternative source of help that may suit some clients with some types of problems.
“It’s astonishing that no more than a generation separates everyday users of computers, mobile phones and the internet from people for whom these tools are completely foreign,” Elly Robinson said.
“Yet there are signs that online therapy could be helpful for rural people, single parents at home, people dealing with issues of violence, or those who want anonymity and the privacy of accessing a service in the comfort of their own home,” she said.
Young people familiar with technology may be particularly suited to online therapy. However people over forty, more marginalised groups and the computer illiterate are less likely to be suited to online treatment.

NBB
Natural Born Blogger – a Dave Winer thing.
I have not been able to leave them alone since before there were blogs, just links pages. I was a user on Dave Winers “Edit this page”. Now I have this one, Psyberspace and my art blog, and I assist and maintain a host of others.
Natural-born blogger. (Scripting News):
Not everyone was born to blog, but some people were.
Pity the poor NBB who was born before there were blogs. You can imagine this person wandering the planet with some unspecified sense of purpose. Scratching his or her head, wondering what exactly it is they were supposed to do with their lives.
Of course that’s a joke, because this instinct had many ways to be satisfied before there were blogs, but it wasn’t as easy as it is for people today.
Etsy
I am planning to have an Etsy shop in addition to my Felt shop, and to develop them both!
I have made a start on Etsy but will need to begin all over with a new email address, as I want a different name for the shop.
There is a lot of work on these sites I like, and I see it now as one way for me to sell my prints. I am planning … new pricing, new promotions, releasing series of prints one at a time?
Here is an example od an artist whose images I like on Etsy:
