- Your sister's EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy sessions are dredging up traumatic childhood "memories" you're not even sure are real, and it's tearing your family apart. How can you separate fact from fiction and mend the rift that's grown between you? [Thanks to Brad Watts, a licensed professional counselor and the author of Sibling Sexual Abuse: A Guide for Confronting America’s Silent Epidemic for helping us sort this one out!]
- You worry that your significant other's "close" coworker is trying to get a bit too close, and their dynamic seems tantamount to an emotional affair. He insists on maintaining this friendship in spite of how uncomfortable it makes you feel. Are you overreacting, or are your concerns perfectly reasonable? What should you do?
- How do you communicate your disinterest in the boring stories your significant other constantly shares about people you don't even know in a way that won't be hurtful or offensive?
- How does a stay-at-home dad on military disability who used his downtime to hone his education and skill set explain his unorthodox break in employment as a feature — not a bug — to prospective employers?
- How do you help your aging mom through her struggles with depression, anxiety, alcoholism, financial difficulties, and declining health without completely draining your resources and derailing your own efforts to succeed?
