• optimal divorce adjustment;
• anxiety, phobias, and fear;

• return to career after extended absence;
• family patterns and personal experiences that led to addiction;
• alleviating depression and reducing anxiety;
• poor self-esteem, social isolation; and
• how to experience feeling content, fulfilled, creative, appreciative, and joyful.
