Good Morning Everyone!  I hope you are having a great day today and that the weather is nice where ever you are.  While sampling some podcasts on anxiety I came across two people talking about panic attacks and it stirred an old memory of my first experiences of watching panic attacks on Saturday Morning Cartoons.  Today I want to share with you the wisdom of understanding and immediately reducing the power of panic attacks as taught on the show Scooby-Doo.  No, I am not making light of the subject, but listen and you will hear what I mean. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning from the Road!  Today's podcast is recorded while driving and taking in the surroundings of my drive to town.  Driving is a great time to create an opportunity to de-clutter our mental lives and practice mindfulness regarding our surroundings. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning Everybody!!!  Today's topic is for those dating or wanting to date and hopefully find the love of their life.  How can you quickly tell if this is someone that you should continue dating or someone you need to end it with?  A great tool I recommend people use is a Must-Have and Can't-Stand exercise.  I will walk you through how to do this in today's episode.

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Hi Everyone and welcome to today's podcast.   I want to invite each of you to send me an email with topics or questions you would like for me to address on the podcast.  I will not be providing therapy on the show, but I want to cover topics that are important to my listeners.  Send your emails to Coffee@LarryQuicksall.com.   I'm continuing from last time's discussion about change, but today I'm talking about external change and points to consider to deal with it in a good way.  I share thoughts about whether we have influence in the situation or not, whether we will be coping with or adapting to the change, choosing beliefs that will allow us to have positive emotions about the change, and problems with maintaining a victim role. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning Everyone!  In today's show I talk about Creating Successful Change in our lives.  First, I share four very important questions that you need to answer yes to for change to have a chance of happening. 1. Do I NEED help and change in this area? 2. Do I WANT help and change in this area? 3. Am I WILLING to do what is needed to have successful change? 4. Am I COMMITTED to seeing it through to completion? I also identified 3 key areas of change: Beliefs, Actions, and Relationships.   Homework Assignment: Identify a specific area of change in one of the three key areas where you can answer "yes" to all four of the above questions, and write that down on a piece of paper, then start listing ways that you can make positive and permanent changes to improve your life! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning Everybody!  Today is a topic I love talking about and can stir my passions, and that is Communication.  You see, my bachelors degree minor was in Speech Communication, and I never lost my passion for the subject.  Effective communication is vital for a healthy marital relationship, and I spent a lot of time in my therapy office teaching and helping couples improve their communication with each other. Today I share about the Communication Model, how it works, and why it breaks down.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/larry-quicksall/message

Good Morning Everyone!  Today I continue on the marriage series with Physical Intimacy.  This may not be a show you want to listen to over speakers with kids present!  This show ran longer than I thought because there was a lot of good information coming to my mind.  While thinking about this podcast and topic I came up with this statement: "Physical Intimacy is a progression of intimacy involving acceptance, closeness and trust that combines the emotional and physical in a pleasing way.
