About the Author
Hi, I’m Michele Vallone, LCSW, Success Coach and EFT Practitioner.
I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 25 years and have been coaching using the practice of EFT (emotional freedom technique) also known as “Tapping” for almost 10 years. I love my work and feel so fulfilled assisting my clients transform their lives…taking them from a place of where they are to where they aspire to be, and beyond.
I also love sharing information and communicating with people. My blog is a safe place to land where you can read about relationships, family, career and everything else that affects our lives on a day-to-day basis. I have a lot to say, and I needed a space to express myself…so, I created it.
I live under the belief that you can create whatever you want for yourself and if I can help you embrace that belief as well, then I think we are both going to enjoy this blog.
I welcome your input and would love to hear about what you would like to read about. If I can respond to your interests through my blogs and guide you along your way, it would be my pleasure. Please use the contact form below.

What makes you happy? This is a loaded and arbitrary question. Happiness is many different things for many different people. However, many people will respond to the above question with a laundry list of responses that are predicated on other things happening. Examples: I could be happy if I could lose 20 lbs, I could… Read more: Next Stop…Happiness. - I Love you…and It Sucks.(Special Edition Blog)
One of my closest friends called me recently and was just crying…deep, wracking sobs that I could barely understand her. Once I established that no one had died or something horrific happened, I just let her cry. “I’m here, take a breath and talk when you are ready”, was all I said. I sat and… Read more: I Love you…and It Sucks.(Special Edition Blog) - The Universe’s Survival Guide…Or, How to Get What You Really, Really Want.

The idea of it really skyrocketed when… Read more: The Universe’s Survival Guide…Or, How to Get What You Really, Really Want. - Don’t Step Over My Line.
Often, when I am working with my clients, I discuss loving your SELF and treating your SELF well.

You know, from the title of this blog, I could be talking about letting go of your spouse or a pair of pantyhose (are they still a critical item of a woman’s underwear drawer? I haven’t bought a pair in years) the main title seems rather vague. Or maybe you want to hold on to… Read more: Holding On, Letting Go and Finding the Real You. - It’s the LOVE Season
