Stories From The Couch

About the Book

Through this book I would like to take you on a journey. It is a journey that I have been on for the past twenty-five years interviewing, questioning, doing therapy and teaching. It has been a remarkable trip into the private lives of people. I am a professional voyeur and I have found that most people are interested in what I hear, what I see and what I do. People want to know about others and they want to watch and learn.

In this book I have compiled a collection of stories about some common themes in peoples' lives. In here, you can watch, learn, laugh and cry with me. If you are a voyeur like me then you will love this book.

You can start reading at any point. Check out the table of contents and see what strikes you. I cannot know what you are ready to find or need to learn. Perhaps you can just play along and open it up and see where your eyes have taken you. My hope is that you will recognize yourself or others and you will think, feel and see exactly what you stopped here to learn.
