Transference can be a lesser-known ‘phenomenon’ to many people, but is actually a very interesting, serious, and sometimes harmful disorder. By definition, transference is an unconscious action of assigning feelings toward a person in present-day life that are significant in one’s earlier life. It may seem confusing, and that’s because it can be. The feelings transferred can either be positive or negative, and usually stem from the person’s childhood. They can actually be used by a therapist or coach to help understand the effects of that person’s childhood, and to help them get to the bottom of those very feelings. …

Infidelity in a marriage can really feel like the ultimate betrayal, and it is a leading cause of divorce. Even couples who stay together after an infidelity continue to have struggles, simply because that line of trust is broken, and extremely difficult to repair when it comes to something so personal and sacred. It doesn’t matter if the infidelity was a one-time event, or a longstanding affair, it can affect a marriage just as much, and can be just as hard to get through. However, it’s not impossible to repair a marriage after infidelity, if both parties are willing to …

Many people have an unclear picture of what it really is, which can cause problems from the start. Let’s take a …

If we’re being true to ourselves, most of us can admit that we’ve told a few little white lies here and there throughout our lives. Sometimes, we try to justify them, using them in order to avoid hurting someone’s feelings, etc. But what happens when lying itself becomes a problem that someone can’t control? That person may be a pathological liar. That label has many negative connotations attached to it, as many people think someone who might be a pathological liar just has the ability to stop lying. Unfortunately, if someone is truly a pathological liar, it’s usually not something …
