         Sexual Violence affects millions of Americans everyday          Every 2 minutes an American is sexually assaulted   In the current presidential campaign we have a candidate, Donald J Trump, who was heard, and seen, on video proudly boasting about being able to kiss and grope women and “move on” a married woman “like a bitch” and then passed it off as “Locker Room Talk.” Moments after the video was released, women (and men) across the globe began to experience deep feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, sadness and helplessness. Some reverted inwards with a sense of powerlessness and...

When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie first fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith I was skeptical on how long their relationship would last. Pitt had an affair with Jolie, after all, and the statistics of rebound relationships having longevity are very slim. But, as the years passed, the couple seemed to have a strong united front and were dubbed as Hollywood’s “Golden Couple”. Jolie would boast about what an amazing father Pitt was. And Pitt had a sparkle in his eye every time he mentioned Jolie.   So, when I found out that Jolie filed for...

I learned early on in life that every person I loved was sure to disappoint me somewhere along the yellow brick road. This was proven to me, even more so, in love relationships. The first few months are like living in La La Land. It’s falling in love, somewhere over the rainbow, in a land of unrealistic hope. It’s like cruising along on the good ship lollipop. However, things don’t stay that way. In a relationship, two people are bound to cross the threshold into Reality Land. This is where one’s true colors shine through and where many of my relationships ended. It...

Dr. Eris, Why can’t I let go of my dad cheating on my mom after so many years?  Am I making excuses for my past bad behavior? I’m smart about why my relationships don’t work???? Sometimes I am lazy about not wanting to do the work it takes to hold the relationship together. And I have trust issues. I usually sabotage situations because I don’t deal with rejection well. I always think relationships should be easy, and not so much work. I currently have been sabotaging all of my relationships. I was in a very unhappy marriage for 13 years. I was the cheater in the marriage–separated now 3 years. The hubby was a workaholic...

Even though many relationships end up in break-ups or divorce, that doesn’t mean that yours has to. There are many relationships that last 30, 40, and even 50+ years. I have worked with many clients who were separated or on the brink of getting divorced who succeeded at turning things around. Even I have gotten to the point with Clayton where I thought that it was time for things to end. However, before I did that I wanted to “walk my talk” and use the tools that have helped so many of my clients. And it worked! The good news is that if it worked for...

Dr. Eris, I’ve been watching you on LA Shrinks and saw you on Nancy Grace talking about the Jodi Arias Trial. Both of these shows have been bringing up a lot of emotions for me. I’ve been in an on again off again relationship with my boyfriend for three years. The problem is that I am totally in love with him but the relationship is toxic. We fight all of the time. He calls me names and has sex with other women. Every time I feel like I am ready to leave the relationship he sucks me back in by telling...
