LOVE: It's All in Your Head This article on Mindful Loving and Henry Grayson b
In his heretical book, Mindful Loving, Henry Grayson, an eminent New York psychologist, relates a story that perfectly captures his mind-altering theory of love. A despondent patient had come to Grayson's office, complaining about being married to "the world's biggest shrew." As patients frequently do, Jon seemed to want commiseration from his loyal shrink.
Grayson isn't that kind of doctor. "What are you willing to do?" asked the therapist, turning the tables back on Jon.
"Anything," he replied. Grayson's instructions were oddly simple: The next time Jon became anxious over his wife's behavior, he was to focus on his own upsetting thoughts, replacing the inner wife-hating voice--She's ruining my life!--with a tender memory of the woman he'd once loved. At first Jon couldn't recall such a woman; finally, a happy moment oozed up from the distant past. He promised Grayson he'd give it a try.
Jon was confused at his next appointment. He told Grayson his wife seemed more subdued somehow. "She must be coming down with a bug," Jon said.
"Try the experiment again," Grayson suggested.

Q. I come from a divorced family. My parents split up when I was 13. Should I assume that I'm damaged goods?
A. Why would you take on a negative self-identity like that? Life is constantly renewing itself and so can you. Remember-what happened to you is not your fault, but it is your RESPONSIBILITY to get the help you need to work through past experiences that may be damaging your life today. If everyone whose parents divorced gave up on themself, we would have no presidents, senators, writers, actors, therapists, to name a few. This is your challenge and your responsibility in life to break the chain of generational dysfunction and find a better way of living.

Q. Our children are both in college and my wife and I are learning each other all over again. We often fight the way we used to fight before the children were born. Is this typical?
A. Transition times can be really challenging in couples’ relationships, such as having a baby, when the kids start school, or leave home and retirement. This is the core idea behind Love-Track.com: to help couples move through these developmental phases.
Now that your children have left for college, you are faced with reconnecting and creating a new direction and new vision for your individual and shared lives. It’s not uncommon to have tension and conflict during this transition process, especially if you aren’t clear about what is happening. We suggest you both discuss what you want the relationship to be. Instead of floundering in the remnants of what was and now is no longer, be proactive in creating a shared vision of the future of your relationship. Some people rekindle a close, intimate connection during this phase of their relationships. Others reach outward to make contributions to their communities that they didn’t have the time, energy or resources to do earlier in their family life. It’s like planning an exciting trip together: Where do you want to go? How do you want to spend your time? What do you want to see?
