Getting On Top

Learning Life Lessons with Penny Cohen, LCSW It is said that we need to learn life lessons? What does that mean anyway? Some say the Earth is life's school where these lessons can be learned. And, if so, how do we determine them? A hint to the answer is in understanding why the "squeekiest wheel" usually gets oiled first, meaning, the things that bother us the most may just contain the lessons that need to be learned the most. ---------------------- Penny Cohen is a transformational psychotherapist, relationship counselor and the author of “Personal Kabbalah: 32 Paths To Inner Peace & Life Purpose.” Find her @ www.pennycohen.com.

WHO’S THE MATTER WITH ME? PART TWO with PENNY COHEN, LCSW Ancestral Lineage Influences can wreck havoc with our lives. The field of Epigenetics is proving that just like medical conditions may be passed down from generation to generation so are mental and emotional issues. Therefore, our tendencies to act certain ways may be predetermined. However we can overcome these tendencies. I will interview Penny about Ancestral Lineage influences and ways of overcoming them.

"THE SUNNY SIDE OF YOUR MIND:" FIVE STEPS TOWARDS IMPROVING YOUR MOOD with PAUL MORRIS, EHP The realization that I have finally come to after living more decades than I enjoy admitting to is that “mood conquers all.” I used to think, believe and accept that a bad or dark mood was the direct result of my circumstances and until and unless this was changed, I had no choice but to suffer the consequence of my current life situation. This lead me, in my younger days, to seeking out venues where I could drink and party to boost my mood or think of the “magic scheme” that would free me from my roller-coaster like emotional ride. Then one day, when my partying days were over, I learned the truth about ones mood. That truth is that mood, for the most part, is not so much controlled by ones circumstances, which we cannot often control, but by ones thoughts, which we can. Please tune in to the live broadcast or archive to learn more about the importance of and the ease at which you can control your moods.

MAINTAINING RELATIONSHIPS: WHY THEY FAIL AND HOW TO MAKE THEM FLOURISH with PENNY COHEN, LCSW Penny Cohen is a transformational psychotherapist, relationship counselor and the author of “Personal Kabbalah: 32 Paths To Inner Peace & Life Purpose.” Find her at www.pennycohen.com. Relationships are very complex entities and there are many reasons why they fail. Whether the relationship is in business, a close friendship or a romantic one, including marriage, expectations are an important dynamic. Since relationships often end due to the dissatisfaction of one or both parties with the performance of the other, expectations are the key parameter. Another key reason romantic relationships fail is the inability of one or both parties to reach a stage of emotional intimacy. In the book “Games People Play,” by Dr. Eric Berne, the author describes different stages of the relationship of couples. The ultimate stage is that of emotional intimacy but unfortunately most couples never reach that goal. Most couples, whose relationship survives for more than say ten years or so, wind up at a stage called games. Penny Cohen and I will be discussing these issues and others with an attempt to convey a way to start, maintain and perhaps even improve how people relate in close and intimate surroundings.
