LOVE MATTERS

Lessons of Women

Many of us have wondered...

Why is it that the more I give and the harder I try the worse things get?

Why are the men in my life always so emotionally unavailable?

How can we resolve our problems when he won't even talk to me?

If you, too, have wondered about these and a hundred other dilemmas of living life as a woman, then you might be glad to hear this simple fact...

Your power as a woman lies in the virtue that emerges through Self love,
and your love for others becomes wisest when it emerges from that virtue.

Patti, certified as a grief counselor and death educator with the internationally
acclaimed Association for Death Educators and Counselors, has worked as
a grief and trauma counselor for 16 years. The focus of her work has been
teaching the value of applied self love (meaning care, kindness, interest,
attention and affection) in a state of released resistance to pain as a tool for
developing the compassion required for healing from trauma.

She co-teaches Psychology of Love & Spirituality and Advanced Health Psychology at the University of Arizona, and beginning in Fall of 2000 will teach Psychology of Death & Loss. She works as a research technician in the Bio Energetic Core of Andrew Weil's Program of Integrative medicine, and works on the Harvard Mastery of Stress Follow-up Study which investigates the effects of parental love and care on our health.

She is pursuing a doctorate in psychology through Saybrook Graduate Institute where she is continuing her research on the mental and physical health effects of love and honesty as a fulcrum for living.
