September, 2011
September is Recovery Month September is Recovery Month It seems sometimes like we are all recovering from something! Losses in health, family and relationships, business, can take their toll. Sometimes an addiction can start by giving us a little extra help to numb some of the pain of life on an especially difficult day or painfully sleepless night. KPCC Therapist Jack Stringfellow is especially well-trained to help people you may know deal with difficult addictions. Jack uses an approach called Motivational Interviewing which focuses on what the client wants and is motivated to do to change. For a free consult with Jack, email or call us at 304-346-9689. The Jim Dent Dinner This year's annual Jim Dent Dinner may have special appeal to members of our community. Our humorist is Jeanne Robertson, well-known to many who have heard her on satellite radio and YouTube.

Join us for a fun, experiential, and moving introduction to the principles and practices of Compassionate Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

Discover a life-transforming communication practice that builds trust, transforms conflict, and creates authentic connection in your relationships.

In this event, you will learn how to create a quality of connection between yourself and others where everyone's needs, even in conflict situations, are held with care and compassion... without resorting to punishment, force, manipulation, blame or other approaches that we end up paying for later.

Learn a powerful approach for expressing and receiving heartfelt gratitude, in a way that transcends praise, compliments and other positive judgments, and gets to the heart of the matter.

Learn how gratitude can enrich your relationships, heal old resentments, and stimulate compassion in yourself and others. View a complete description of this training.

You will also learn how to:

* express yourself honestly and openly;
* hear difficult messages without taking them personally;
* connect with others by communicating empathy; and
* find the gift that underlies all blame, judgment and criticism.
