Photo credit , property of Black Bear Pictures, fair use “What do you do?” I’m sometimes asked by clients when referring to daily practice of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). One arena in which I train is the occasionally challenging realm of cinematic features. For instance, I enjoy films featuring Jason Statham . Understanding what Statham movies often entail, I have no unhelpf

[ DISCLAIMER ] “I already know what you’re going to ask me,” is a phrase that I often hear when providing psychoeducational lessons on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) to the clients with whom I work. “You’re going to ask me what I’m telling myself,” I’m then informed.

[ DISCLAIMER ] When listening to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set by Xenia Dia earlier today, I heard her spin the track “ House It Goes ” (2025) by Spartaque and As Ide . The song represents the genre of progressive house , a variant of my favorite EDM genre house music , as the lyrics state: I heard this house is so much fun. Is that true ? They say it’s wild when it’s one o’clock. It’s one. Is that true? Do people really come from miles around just to feel th

[ DISCLAIMER ] When listening to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set by Aneya Rose , my face melted off as I heard her spin the track “ Sanctum ” (2024) by Belgian DJ and record producer Charlotte de Witte , featuring vocals by Marion di Napoli . No worries, my face molded back into shape. The song reminds me of nights when raving in South America. For me, it drips with nostalgia and allows me to experience sanctum (a place where one is free from intrusion) within the

[ DISCLAIMER ] When listening to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set by Holly Loo , I heard her spin the track “ Can You Feel It? ” (2024) by Chymamusique and Floyd D. , featuring vocals by Wanda Baloyi . Lyrics state in part: Can you feel it? I never thought I’d feel this way About somebody else who is not me All these feels that you’ve given me Are so brand new Oh, they’re new to me Could this be love? Could this be true? Could this be real between me and you?

[ DISCLAIMER ] When listening to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set by K_Oxana , I heard her spin the track “ Be a Better You ” by Daniel Jaeger , on the album Be a Better You (2017). I then thought of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). It’s my preferred self-help strategy. Worth noting, I think the version of the song spun by K_Oxana was by Jaeger, though it was contained on the album Criminal Bassline - Most Wanted Mixed by Daniel Jaeger (DJ Mix) (2024)

[ DISCLAIMER ] When recently listening to an electronic dance music (EDM) DJ set by DJ Ellika , I heard her spin the track “ How I Feel (Am I Wrong) ” by Faul & Wad , Nico & Vinz , ALTÉGO , and Old Jim . Lyrics include the following: So, am I wrong ? For thinkin’ that we could be something for real? Now, am I wrong? For tryna reach the things that I can’t see? But that’s just how I feel (ooh) That’s just how I feel (ooh) That’s just how I feel Tryna reach the things th

[ DISCLAIMER ] In the ‘90s, I visited Estes Park, Colorado with a small group of people. We attended local shops, spent time doing silly, playful, and unimportant things, and we took photos on 35 mm film . Back in those days, it seemed as though life was timeless. Of course, that perception was incorrect. All these years later, I look at the above photo of me pretending to play a xylophone-type of instrument while wearing a fresh Ralph Lauren polo shirt with a Universi
