Cherry Creek Psychology, Dr. Maximillian Wachtel

You may have noticed that I am not the most consistent blogger. I will take a few months off, feel guilty about it, apologize and then post every day for about a week. Then, the cycle repeats itself.

To my credit, I have been busier than usual. On May 5, my son, Simon Wachtel, was born! He is happy and healthy, and his big sister, Nico, is thrilled. Her excitement should wear off around the time he starts getting into her stuff. The whole family is also adjusting to having a new member in the house, and we are all operating on some serious sleep deprivation.

In other news, I have gotten more new referrals this May than I have in previous years. Typically, the beginning of summer is a slow time for therapists. People get busy and are often going on vacation. And, most people tend to be happier in the summer than they are in the winter. But, this year appears to be different. Any thoughts as to why that is?
