Ya know? Getting unstuck is so hard to do because we are so used to being stuck. Ugh! Today I'm sharing with you my way of using mentalligent psychotherapy to help people make the shift from stuckness to healing. We are all used to the familiar, even when it is unhealthy. Embracing the new involves moving your mindset from the unhealthy, which is familiar to you, to the healthy, which is unfamiliar. With practice, then, the healthy becomes more familiar, your new normal. Check it out. If you are curious, get more from my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life. Blessings, Jon

Mentalligent psychotherapy uses three interwoven treatment strategies to help you soar. Mindfulness sets the stage for your journey.

One of the realities of life is that what we focus on grows. Focus on the negative and it grows. Focus on the positive and it will grow. In my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life, I incorporate positive psychology as one of three major treatment interventions, artfully interwoven, to define mentalligent psychotherapy.
