Choice Theory

Choice Theory Book
I am about finish reading this book. This book gives me a lot of different thoughts for counseling. The basic idea of the choice theory is that all humans have choice regardless with situations. The choice does not have to mean to be physical, but it can be psychological. You can choose to be happy, sad, irony, and so on. It is up to you what kind of feeling you have. According to Dr. Glasser, people just do not realize they have choice, and keep blaming on something. Learning choice theory means to start controlling your own life.

I know this book long time. Sometimes, my college professors talked about and whenever I visited their office, the book was always there. I simply did not have time to read it. I was crazy at studying something else and working. In Japan, I can find more reading time than before. It is because, I use train a lot and wait people a lot.

Dr. Glasser has been working on fixing a lot of couples' relationship issue by this theory. Also, he applied it to the public school education, which became the best school in the U.S later. If you have time and are looking for a book to read, please pick this one. You will be able to change your thought and life. I guarantee it!

Phone Call

New Phone
From today, my office's (my room) phone number is changed. New phone number is 049-227-9760. I used to use cell phone number for this business so that some clients had hesitated to call me. However, from now on, they do not have to :)

I am so so appreciated many clients call me these days. But, I feel so sorry for saying that the date and time which they wanted to make reservation have already reserved. Sometimes, I could not pick up the phone any reason when they called. I know that they have much hesitation before calling me. Making reservation for counseling is not easy since there is stereotype around that counseling is only for weak people. But, he finally did, and none answered or he could not make the reservation the date and time when he would be available.

My counseling room is just opened. And, I do not have much money to spend for this business yet. Therefore, so many things are inconvenient. For example, if I have a secretary, I will not miss your phone call. If I have another counselor working with me, I will be able to give various cares. In the future, I will make more convenient system, but now, please be patient :(

Now, I got new phone number and answering machine. Therefore, the clients can make phone call easier than they used to and I will not miss your call anymore. Please, do not hesitate to leave your message. I will return your call, promise! By the way, the phone line is "Hikari." Therefore, the phone charge is much less than regular phone line. :)

DreamWeaver

DreamWeaver
Today, I updated my site a lot, because I am going to offer "Yahoo! Directory Registered Campaign." From next month till the end of Nov, all counseling prices will be 50 % off! If you are planning to get my counseling, you will not miss it!

Here is secret. This information is only for you who can understand my English. I will do another campaign, which will be called KNH Mental Health Clinic 2 year anniversary campaign, after this. Then, New Year campaign is going to be started. Therefore, if you miss this time, next a half year, the counseling price will be a half. Now, I can tell you, "You can miss it!" :)

Anyway, I changed several parts of my web page, but I had a lot of trouble. Things that I wanted my Dream Weaver to do did not work. For example, if I tried to make words red and bold, the words have shown small and black. How this could happen! I have made a lot of webpage and have experience to use several different soft wears, but I have never seen this kind of strange. I had stayed with my computer almost all day to fix this problem. I finally could! But, if you know why this happened, let me know. I almost pulled my hair!

Tokyo Tour

Tokyo
Yesterday, I went to Tokyo tour with my American friend and her son. I have never gone to Tokyo tour in my life. It is simply, because I have visited Tokyo so many times. Therefore, I thought that I already know pretty much everything about the city. However, I was wrong. So many places I have never been, and so many histories in Tokyo, I have never heard.

The son plays Karate and he wants to see Japanese style, so I took them to Kyokushin Kaikan in Shinjuku after the tour end. People in dojo were extremely nice. They were helpful and taught him their style with much detail. He did not only watch, but they allowed him to participate their practice. He and his mom were so excited.

Thank you everybody whom we met yesterday. I could only show them good part of Japan. They said they love Japan and want to come back soon!

Good news from U.S

My previous co-worker is going to visit in Japan with her son. I am so excited about it. I have millions of questions to ask her what is going on with our school and students. Of course, I will not keep her only for answering my damn questions. I will try hard for them to have a good experience. Where should I take them? But, the problems is, can I still speak English?
