Changemaker: Reinvent Yourself Changemaker is a blog with the purpose of teaching the basics of therapy so that someone interested in helping others has a book to be used for offering education groups. The blog includes posts by Kathy Berman a woman in recovery since 1976 from alcoholism. She also was a counselor in the field of substance addiction and a marketer for mental health companies. So she has a multi-faceted view of what the addiction and mental health fields offer.
The purpose of this blog is to share her experience, strength and hope to anyone who would like to help others to better understand themselves. Kathy's dream is that others will have the courage to help others by sharing their experience, strength and hope.
Changemaker is a company that is committed to the basic belief that each person has the opportunity for self-discovery and the potential for self-healing. As individuals, we sometimes choose paths that may be harmful to us. To get off that path and onto a new road takes exploration and experimentation. Preview Website -

Monica Pignotti, MSW One of my current professional missions is to bridge the Scientist-Practitioner gap that currently exists in the mental health field. John Riolo has written very eloquently about this problem elsewhere on psychjourney. I became interested in this issue after having been extensively involved with Thought Field Therapy (TFT) for seven years. One year ago I severed my ties with TFT and its Founder because I could no longer stand by the unwarranted claims that were being made.
In addition to debunking, I am also very interesting in understanding more about the reasons therapists choose to use these methods in their practices. It has been my experience that most of these therapists are well-intentioned, but something has been missed in their training that they did not learn about the existing empirically supported methods (or, for some reason choose not to use them). Another question I've been exploring lately is what, if any, differences exist between these clinicians and those who choose to use the scientist-practitioner model. Preview Website -
