		<title>Shame, Vulnerability, and Connectedness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I listened to a talk by Brene’ Brown, PhD (sociologist and researcher, author of The Gifts of Imperfection), I was touched deeply.

		<title>On Being Judgmental</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote this post on Facebook recently: Judgment of another person puts them in a box and reduces them to a mere label.

		<title>The Discomfort of the Unknown</title>

		<title>Does Transformation Have To Be Difficult?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During a recent presentation to the L.A. Chapter of the International Coach Federation, a coach questioned whether transformation could be as quick and efficient as I claimed.  &#8220;I&#8217;ve tried other techniques,&#8221; she said, &#8220;but the only thing that&#8217;s worked is long-term therapy.&#8221;   Although I&#8217;m a fan of psychotherapy (having studied it since college), I had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Not Eliminate All Beliefs?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am often asked, &#8220;Why not just eliminate all your beliefs? Isn&#8217;t that the point of enlightenment?&#8221; It is possible to eliminate all of your beliefs with The BeliefCloset Process. It would take some time, because you have accumulated tens of thousands of beliefs in your lifetime. Consider language, for example:  the word &#8220;cat&#8221; is [...]]]></description>
