Hello Everyone,
For many years I have worked long hours … not only during the week, but on weekends. I have worked a long week, stayed late into the evening to see people who could not come any other time, and on weekends for the same reason. Most of that time I was a single woman whose kids were raised and what better way could I spend my time than by working at my passion – helping people through talk therapy.
Today things have changed. In 2011 my son was killed in the war, and soon after I moved from San Antonio to Little Rock to be near my hometown and family. I married in 2013 after being single for 11 years. As I take stock of my life, I find that my purpose is still the same, to help couples through relationship crisis, and help anyone and everyone be mentally and emotionally healthy. But now I have a cherished home life. And as I tell my couples on a daily basis, if you want a great relationship, you have to make it a priority.
I have learned to listen to myself. When I noted that I did not enjoy working when I knew my husband would be home and we could have spent spent cherished quality time together, I knew it was time to change my practice. This is why starting June 1, 2015 I will no longer work evenings or weekends. During the week my last appointment will be scheduled at 4 pm. The lesson I have learned is that not only do I need to listen to myself and what is not feeling right within, I need to take action to make it feel right.
I wish you all the best and I look forward to seeing you in the therapy room — or on FaceTime or Skype!
Sincerely,
Doctor Becky
