However, that being said, a medical screening would be recommended routinely for those seeking treatment for cocaine or methamphetamine addiction to rule out damaging effect those toxic substance could have on the....

Can I get addicted and not even try, but just taking the meds my doctor told me to take?

Interesting choice of  words in your question...'Just taking the meds my doctor told me to" is a passive approach to your self-care. I'm assuming the meds you are referring to are on the order of pain meds and were prescribed in an effort to relieve pain. If your intent in seeing your doctor in the first place had nothing to do with wanting to get high or seeking relief from emotional ....

Why do people change when they get married? And is there any hope for them to have a mature relationship?

I was with someone for two years and then married two years. Everything was great when we were together and we lived together, but as soon as we were married and then had a child...my husband began to act like a sullen, disrespectful child.

About Daniel Linder, MFT

Daniel Linder

Relationships. I was born with a keen sense about relationships, was always assessing how close and intimate people are with each other. I had a knack for relationships. The importance of relationships cuts to the core of who I am. The combination of clinical training, 25 years of professional experience treating dysfunctional, non-intimate couples and families, as well as rigorous self analysis has given me a lot to work with. I put what seemed to come naturally to me under a microscope in an effort to break the process of building healthy relationships down to concrete essentials: Understanding of Basic Principles, Communication Skills, Self-realization and Intimacy.
