		<description><![CDATA[When I talk to friends and acquaintances about therapy, I often hear these comments. Do any of them sound familiar?


&#8220;I can talk to my friends about my problems.&#8221;
&#8220;Why would I talk to some stranger about my problems?!&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not crazy.&#8221;
&#8220;Therapy is cool for others, but not for me.&#8221;
&#8220;The therapist is going to &#8216;psychoanalyze&#8217; me.&#8221; (here, &#8216;psychoanalyze&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I often get the question from potential clients, "What is holistic psychotherapy, anyway?"

My New York aunt insists that in New York, the word 'holistic' would not get me very far - there's this perception that the translation of 'holistic' equals California crunchy-oat-bread-with-sprouts-and-avocado-eating, Birkenstocks-wearing, lefty-communist protesters... Or some such comparison. Maybe they think we're all driving around in '68 VW Bugs hugging trees and singing Kumbaya.]]></description>
