Miscellaneous
I have a short list of mentors. Seymour, my old therapist, Cliff, my supervisor from Bayside Marin, and Gary Bubash LMFT, my unwitting roommate from...2002. Today, we talk about the before times—before we became therapists, before I lost 100 pounds, before Gary gave up his job as a video editor to go back to school in his mid forties. Somewhere between a drill sergeant and a teddy bear, Gary has mastered the art of authentic, constructive feedback. While I always prided myself on being straightforward therapist, Gary takes it to the next level. Actually, several next levels. We will discuss Gary’s ideas about healthy living—about the importance of taking whatever you have, and making it the best it can be—everything from getting those dirty dishes out of the sink, taking care of your body to speaking your mind when it is critically important. Also, How to pick yourself up when you’re feeling crappy. And lastly, the value of receiving, and giving authentic, difficult feedback. And how this actually helps people bond.
