Some women think they need to be overpowering in order to be powerful. This is so far from the truth. What is so great about being a women is how powerful we are quite naturally.

Like many people, I consider myself an incurable romantic, and there is a part of me that will always believe in walking off into the sunset to live happily ever after. When I was younger, like many children, I assumed I would get married, live in a nice house, and have a couple of kids. I also assumed this very traditional achievement would bring me endless happiness and romance. So much so, that during my college years I considered girls engaged by graduation to be the epitome of success. Perhaps needless to say, I was not one of those girls.

Marriage emerged some forty-five hundred years ago and evolved into a widespread and accepted institution that bonded families, maintained order, and created wealth. Unlike today, where many of us are searching for our romantic "soul mate," marriage was originally more about economics than deep emotion.

I'm sure I've dated my share of loonies in the past. Sometimes I realized it early on and sometimes not that fast. Love can be blinding, even for therapists. Plus, crazy can be fun sometimes. Don't you think?! Maybe that's just me!

I have occasionally thought that some [TV] hosts have needed treatment, and some of these hosts have even admitted they could benefit from therapy. Having said that, I think most people can benefit from treatment. Those who need it and refuse to get it generally have the most "issues.

There’s a supportive treatment environment where you can be amongst other people who are having similar struggles. There’s group therapy, there’s individual therapy, there’s medication management. And it’s just like anything else, it works as good as you work.

This [ myth ] definitely is not the case according to 50 percent of them, which is a good thing because having sex-positive attitudes and having a satisfying sex life is one of the most important ways we can continue to feel young.

All of our experiences help us to see life through a more multi-dimensional lens. These experiences are often assets, not limitations, that help us to navigate our world from a more empathic and kinder place.

In fact, it's taking us all a little bit longer to grow up. Culturally outmoded and ageist ideas are no longer valid or represent the mid-lifers of today.

The survey shows that almost half of people in their 50s agree that they are still looking and want to get married. They are looking for true, meaningful connections. Being divorced or reaching midlife does not deter them from this goal.

It's a great opportunity to do something together and to gain insight into the way they think about themselves and the world.
