  1. Thank you, Therese!

    I have been recommending this book and also Safe People by the same authors for years. My patients have been tremendously helped by them.

  2. If you like that, check out William Glasser’s Choice Theory. Good stuff!

Whenever I come over she says something like, I was so unhappy all weekend until now that you have come. I would call this behavior the Law of Dependence or something like that.
