Improving Our Relationship With Our Moms

March 4, 2016 by Cerina Griffin, MFT Leave a Comment

  My mom had a birthday earlier this week; she turned 60-something. I can’t imagine life without my mom around.  Occasionally, I pause from the whirlwind called life and reconnect with our inevitable mortality, and think about my mom someday being gone. The mere thought can easily knock the wind out of me, and bring […]

An Ambitious Commitment to my Girlfriends

January 21, 2016 by Cerina Griffin, MFT 2 Comments

Last week, I sat down and wrote some goals for the first six months of 2016.  I had heard about a research study on a graduating class at Harvard University and goal setting. 3% of the class had written down goals for the future, 13% had goals in mind, but had not written them down, […]

Are You a Mean Girl?

May 6, 2015 by Cerina Griffin Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I was sitting in the midst of a women’s group I’m in where I happen to be a solid decade younger than the youngest member (besides me, of course). I like the age disparity for several reasons: 1) I get to talk about new things like empty nesting and hot flashes; […]

Eating… How Women Connect to Food

November 20, 2014 by Cerina Griffin Leave a Comment

With Thanksgiving approaching next week (not joking, it’s coming!), I thought I would share some reflections on food as a woman and a therapist for women. Often, it is a sensitive topic as sub-cultures within Southern Cal and beyond have taught us that what we eat affects much more than how we look and feel; […]

Why Being a Selfish Mom Really Helps Your Kids

October 30, 2014 by Cerina Griffin Leave a Comment

From the moment your seven-pound, something-ounce baby lands in your arms something instinctually possessive is born. “This being is helpless and small; only I can protect it.” And the rest is history. When I write this blog about being a selfish mom I’m not really thinking of moms with young children (though some gym time, […]

Facing Aloneness

October 13, 2014 by Cerina Griffin Leave a Comment

My husband has been out of the country for the past month on business. With no phone or e-mail access to contact him I have furiously planned out additional work and social activities, projects, workouts and anything else I can think of. However, each night as I retire from the day I have inevitably been […]

When “Ok” is Enough, Fantastic Even

August 11, 2014 by Cerina Griffin Leave a Comment

Has anyone else felt their life pace slow down with the summer heat and the feeling of vacation in the air?  It could just be me, which I’m fine with.  Recently, I’ve tuned into a shift within me around how I go about my day and my weeks.  The slowness and reduced pressure to perform, […]

How Individual Counseling Can Help Your Marriage

July 21, 2014 by Cerina Griffin Leave a Comment

I remember many years ago entering my very first counseling appointment by myself. The reason behind me starting therapy felt vague; I knew I wanted to go, but I was not sure why. Years later, it is very clear to me that starting therapy on my own was to improve, and ultimately save my marriage. […]

Helping Ourselves Helps Our Daughters

June 25, 2014 by Cerina Griffin Leave a Comment

It has been some time since I have given myself space to write a blog. Perhaps it is the spinning of my mind that makes me struggle to slow down enough to write things out clearly, or perhaps it is the fear that I have nothing relevant to say. Which brings me to this post […]

What About the Non-Moms?

May 12, 2014 by Cerina Griffin Leave a Comment

I love Mother’s Day.  In addition to our own familial festivities, anyone five miles from social media gets a peek into every friend, old college buddy and colleague’s cousin’s co-worker’s celebration of motherhood and child rearing.  I enjoy the blogs about sleepless nights and the hashtags about a #motherslove and #lovemymom and #nobodyunderstandsmylifeexceptothermothers (stolen from […]
