Christopher Dines shared a quote “Taking a year out from a thriving practice to pursue something new—whether it is launching a business or working on a doctorate—can feel daunting, especially if it means dipping into your financial reserves. These kinds of considerations and conversations often come up for therapists and psychologists after a decade or more of running a successful practice.” Christopher Dines

Quotes by Christopher Dines (?)

“The reality is that there are plenty of trustworthy people in the world rebuilding their lives. It was a very gradual process for me to open up and talk about what was really going on in my recovery. The more I started to take risks by talking to others, however, the more I had an opportunity to exercise boundaries. As I asserted new boundaries, I started to gravitate towards people with integrity, warmheartedness and decency.”

“A sex addict is also emotionally anorexic – they must be in order to continue participating in isolated behaviour such as being addicted to pornography and being promiscuous or having multiple affairs. All of these secretive behaviour patterns affect a family and home.”

“First and foremost, if we maintain healthy emotional boundaries and direct love and kindness inwards, we are taking care of ourselves and secondly we are giving a subliminal message to others about how we wish to be treated. People tend to subconsciously treat us how we treat ourselves.”
