Misogynoir Has No Place Here.
In late December, 2020, I sat several feet from the man who had been my step-father for 36 years, across the reflective surface of a hardwood desk from a somber man who owned the funeral home where my Mom was cremated. Those ashes sat on said desk, in a nondescript green plastic box. Mom died […]
What Does It Mean to Be Person-Centered and Impact Regarding?
Trauma-Informed Care At present, the most popularly utilized and studied technique that aligns with earnestly impact-regarding endeavors is “trauma-informed care.” A simple internet search-engine dive, using the quoted words above, will yield articles, chapters, podcasts, TED talks and other recorded lectures from reputable and reliable sources.

A Bit About Me, and A Lot About Person-Centered Therapy.
Hi. I’m Greg. I can be wordy. For example, I am an impact-regarding, social-and-emotional, trauma-informed, and person-centered aspiring human.

What Does It Mean To Be Impact-Regarding While Supporting the Social-and-Emotional Development of Those We Serve?

In Plain Language: I Want Us All to Be Better.
I just completed mandated-reporter training to maintain my Pennsylvania license to practice speech and language pathology. Mandated-reporter meaning, I am legally obligated to either call or submit an online report if at any point I have even reasonable cause to suspect child abuse including physical, psychological, sexual, and/or neglect. The training, when it discussed the […]
