Money, Sex and Kids: (Book) - 7/2/2007 7:45:56 PM
I need to buy a case of these when it become availabe. So many people need this well before they tie the not. The majority of couples do argue about these three things. Lack of money or someone is spending to much money, whinning kids, spoiled brats, out of control kids, sex, what sex? For whatever stupid reason married folks are using they stop freaking at the spur of the moment and dressing sexy . I could go on and on but that will be part of my book.
It Ends With You: Grow Up and Out of Dysfunction (Book) - 7/30/2003 11:34:29 PM
I love what I've read here, and wish that Dr. Tessina had been around when I first sought help, and when I had the idiotic impression that I could CHANGE my dysfunctional family of origin. I have no children myself, but I saw my nieces being brought up in the same dysfuntional environment. Now a nephew is involved as well. While trying to help, I was branded "mentally ill" by my mother for my trouble. My family (parents especially) are scared to death of change, and accuse me of accusing THEM for "ruining" me! I'm not ruined, but I'm not happy either. Bless you, Dr. Tessina. I pray your work helps many people and their families!

Dr. Tessina, you have written a lot to digest ... but all of your suggestions are points to remember, internalize, and practice.

Interesting. Thank you, Tina! I'm thinking several of those expressions have been on my face, too, in many conversations with my family of late.

Your Heart’s Desire (Article) - 1/9/2009 4:44:40 AM
Tina: You know for sometime now I've been framing in your website for your book Your Job on Earth. I am just beginning to gather together some special e-books for sale on my site and ebay under the name of Sculpting the Heart E-books. Would you be interested in sending me an e-book to look at. Everything is on the up and up if you are interested? Love your article. Would like to frame in your Authorsden.com. Would this be okay also?
Sales will be through PayPal and/or distributor. I talked to you briefly on twitter and you gave me permission to show your book on my website a while back. You probably having been getting links from my site you can check. I would appreciate a hyperlink on your book back to my web for art therapy or selling of book, however, we figure that out later. Happy New Year's, I enjoy your work so, I hope you enjoy my website, also. I would also be interested in Finding the Work You Love. Perhaps you could pass this information along to him. I am specializing in Art Therapy and bringing a little hope to others.
Happy New Years!

The Courage to Hope (Article) - 12/2/2008 9:19:00 AM
I tried to review your article on dysfunction. Goofed. Sorry, I enjoyed both articles. My own success as an author, poet and artist is a testament that depression, pain, anger and dysfunction can be overcome with the belief in God, ourselves and our special purpose.
Happy Holidays. Check out my website www.sculptingtheart.com where I quoted you on my Introduction Page and added your website so others can enjoy your talents and special gifts. Happy Holidays.

The Nail in the Fence: Healing Wounds (Article) - 6/17/2008 12:39:02 PM
The ability to forgive is, to me, a variable of emotional intelligence, an aspect of Self often left unconsidered. It would be wonderful if adults could begin instilling the building blocks of EI in our children now so that one day, we may collectively be so emotionally mature/intelligent that we 1. rarely/never feel the need to lash out and injure the heart of another; 2. if we should be the victims of such a lashing, realize that the event is about the character of the other person and not a relfection of our own character; and 3. that in having empathy and compassion for ourselves (learning to love ourselves), we can find within us the wherewithal to forgive if the need does arise. I thoroughly enjoyed this article and hope you don't mind my "unprofessional" assessment of forgiveness and the notion of EI.
Your Primary Relationship (Article) - 5/8/2008 11:45:32 AM
OH, so true. When I first entered therapy I was resistant and defensive, not wanting to believe that my parents could have been wrong? Boy was I a mess. Your article is informative and very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Liz
Your Primary Relationship (Article) - 5/7/2008 6:59:03 PM
Your penned words are so true of us. How we must relate to others and to ourselves. I know as I have been in therapy. I am scared sometimes, and tonight coming to a home alone and being in it alone, only with a cat, I am still scared, and I am usually not. I must talk myself out of the fears before I go to sleep and trust God to remove them with my help. Good, very good write. You said it all.

Learning Forgiveness (Article) - 3/14/2007 5:21:49 PM

Resolving Inner Anarchy (Article) - 2/1/2007 5:27:24 AM
Thanks for your writing. When getting in touch with the inner person I think of it as getting in touch with the Spirit once we become in touch with the Spirit then we can be in balance and we are not into greed, lust, gluttony, pride, rage, jealousy and all the outside things. Then and only then is when I feel peace and serenity.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom

Without Ego (Article) - 2/1/2007 5:16:23 AM
You said here in these words:
When I stop trying to resist, resent, overpower, deny or ignore parts of myself, and instead seek to help the whole human package be the best I can be, I find myself as peaceful and joyful as I have ever been.
That there to me means everything when I do that I am one with the creator.
Thanks for this write.

No Two Miracles Alike (Article) - 12/2/2006 8:12:41 AM
Very inspirational. It's interesting that the real world, its objects, processes, its people, provide all the miracles we need if we only use our empirical powers to see and enjoy. No conjured "miracle" can hold a candle to the beauties of the natural world. Thanks

Inspiration (Poetry) - 10/17/2008 10:50:44 AM
hello Tina, I read your poem "Inspiration". I found it is truly hard to describe beauty mostly because it disappears too quickly. That is what I got out of this poem. Great work. Please feel free to visit my site here in the "den"
On love (Poetry) - 7/15/2008 12:24:47 PM
Probably the fragrance would not be as sweet. Sometimes we have to work hard to get the sweet things in our lives. This reminds me God wants us to wait for good things to come, forget the past, go on with our lives looking to him for guidance and love. Rose thorns hurt and remind us to be careful.

I was browsing the den when I came across your page...the title "Storytellers" jumped out at me. I am a teacher, author (unpublished yet, other than poems but in the process) I am also a storyteller...among the other many titles...I held a professional development meeting for local educators this summer about incorporating the art of storytelling in the primary classroom. You seem like a very interesting and diverse person...I am anxious to read more of your work. This was great!

So true are your words. We do have to go through a "learning" period before we are let loose upon the world. Thing is, it seems that the "learning" period has, of late, been very lackadaisical in preparing the young skulls full of mush to the realities of life.
