Communications

Requests for advice about your personal matters are professional business matters that require my general or clinical consultation, or spiritual direction and require a minimum payment of $40 to this website. Please note that I reserve the right to use any general question on The Messenger blog portion of my website.

To keep your questions private, within the limits of confidentiality as required by law, send a minimum payment of $65 to this website. Please note that this amount is $10 less than a 30-minute phone consultation. You may receive a faster, more personalized response through the use of a phone consultation.

Please allow up to one week for a response.

I made my websites and the references and recommended readings available so that anyone in the world could learn from my writings and the writings of others who I have learned from, free of charge. I have incurred a lot of expenses associated with this public service, including paying for the time, talent, and hard work of artists and geniuses in the design and development of these websites, as well as licenses to reprint copyrighted information including royalties paid to authors and publishers, and the use of commercial fonts and stock art, as some examples, which does not include the costs that I have paid to my attorneys for trademarks or other costs that I have not already mentioned.

Like one of the best experts who I paid to train me, one-on-one for several years, I had to learn the hard way that effective psychotherapy requires that psychotherapists often need to offer services in a way that may seem “counter” to what clients expect or want from us, in order for them to learn and heal. It was a hard lesson for me because I am a person who likes to give so much of myself and what I’ve learned, out of REAL charity.  There’s a part of me that wishes that the unconscious wasn’t such a maze and that I could more easily resolve all of the pain in the world. But that’s not my job and it misses the point.

Psychotherapy is hard work. But that’s not the point either. So, what is the point? BOOK A CALL to find out!

Would you like permission to reproduce material from my website? Please understand that your desire in itself is a declaration that you have received benefit from my work. Therefore, it is fitting that you send a minimum donation of $40 before I will consider your request for permission.

Please note that academic tradition allows, short, properly cited quotes in academic papers to be used without seeking permission from the author or publisher.

Please also note that if you intend to use the information on this website in a business setting (e.g. school, hospital, private practice, business website, blog with advertising, continuing education units, etc.), I will require a royalty to be paid in proportion to the financial gain expected to result from your project. The amount of this royalty can be negotiated after I receive your initial donation.

Finally, please be sure that the information that you would like to reproduce is actually within my ability to authorize. If it is copyrighted information, you will need to contact the original author or publisher and adhere to their Permissions Policies. If you have questions about the policies of an author who I have specifically been authorized to quote verbatim or with adaptations and you want that information from me, I consider that a private matter as to what I negotiated with each author and publisher. However, I do understand that the process is sometimes difficult to understand and navigate with well-known authors who do not self-publish or who may be protective of who uses their writings even with permission and so, you may send me a Request for Advice for a minimum payment of $40 to review and respond to your request. Please include sufficient information detailing what author(s) you want to use their information, in what context, and what you would like to reproduce. If I have the information, I will advise you.

Please note that it is not necessary to send me a request for advice in a situation where I have simply referenced a source where you and others can find more information that has this common knowledge, statistic or language or perhaps is an example of a research study that provides potential evidence of what I claim in one of my articles. In this situation, you will need to determine on your own if you need permission from the author of publisher to use their content or if you need to make a request from me to use my content. If you are unsure, you will need to follow the standard Permissions Policy by assuming that the content belongs to me by submitting your request and minimum payment of $40 for me to review and respond to your request. I have already stated that I have paid for licenses and royalties for information that is copyrighted and reproduced with and without adaptions, which none of that content may be reproduced or distributed and which I have already properly cited on each page of my website.

This website is dedicated to providing education about how to heal from anger through forgiveness by replacing hate with love, so that we may all work together by reducing the anger and aggression in the world, restore justice and peace, assist in the salvation of souls by the grace of God, and eventually end generational trauma.

I do not accept advertising on this website. This includes, but is not limited to, requests to be placed on my Resources page. All requests will be marked as spam and deleted. If you make repeated attempts to contact me for any reason, but particularly with pleadings about your company (profit or non-profit) and how you believe it can help clients, is only further evidence that you do not obey the law, my boundaries, and that you likely present a danger to clients. I will put you on notice only once upon receipt of the second email. This notice will include a warning, advice that you read a self-help book on your underlying psychological motivation, which you will likely freely disclose to me as part of your strategy to attempt to manipulate me, and a suggestion that you donate a minimum of $40 in gratitude for this website, which is one of the ways that I offer my writings and resources to the world free-of-charge.

Future communications that I receive from you and anyone who you are affiliated with, without following through on what I state to you in my response, constitutes harassment and will result in communication from my attorney and damages for my time, attorney’s fees and costs, as well as any other relief that I may be allowed under the law.
