The Drama Reduction 12 Step Programme
I have decided to take a typical 12 step AA programme and create a drama reduction one.
1. We admit that we are Drama Seekers - that our relationships and sense of self have become unmanageable.
2. We are in charge of ourselves and our relationships. Drama can be as big or as little as we want it to be. The choice to engage is our choice alone.
3. We have come to believe that there is a greater power than drama or an assclown - that is ourselves. We will restore ourselves to sanity and take charge of our experiences.

Does Emotionally Unavailable Equal He’s Just Not That Into You?
Over at answerology, a reader asks “Do you think that emotionally unavailable really just equals he/she is just not that into you?” Truth be told, the answer isn’t a clear-cut ‘no’, but when you are faced with a Mr Unavailable’s behaviour, they act the way they do regardless of who you are. It’s not about [...]
The 2007 A-Z of Men
A is for Mr Aggressive, the man that just can’t keep his temper or approaches everything as if it’s a battle. He fights dirty with the guys and he’ll fight dirty with you, so be careful of his insults, degradation and possible physical abuse that ‘you’ caused him to do because you ‘made’ him get [...]

Conscious Relationships
As someone who has had more bad dates and dodgy boyfriends than I care to remember, I used to think that I was having an extended period bad luck where I seemed to mysteriously attract men that were unworthy of my time and energy. A number of incidences and realisations made me realise that I [...]
