Heart-Steps Therapy
I became a
therapist in 1990 and through my studies and
internships with psychologists, social workers and numerous mental
health
professionals, I opened my own practice and started to treat my own
patients. I
soon came to realize that with my training was incomplete evident in
the fact
that there were times I was unable to help someone. Predominantly my
patients
were men who had been abused as children / had been abused as adults /
were
still being abused. My patients may or may not have recreated abuse,
but either
way they suffered consequences of their sense of self, emotional
intimacy and
sexual intimacy problems. I aggressively researched and then more times
than
not, I was able to identify the root cause of any psychological problem
during
my patients first session. In fact, psychologists and social workers
consulted
with me and referred their patients to me. During the time of my
practice, I
saw my patients, wrote articles which were published, did radio
interviews,
lectured a few times at a hospital and had speaking engagements at
libraries. Also during my practice I created
"Heart-Steps Therapy" because I wanted to
help myself and others who had been abused or suffered other
psychological
traumas / conflict-based issues. I wanted to use my
heart, soul and mind to embrace those who have suffered and my voice to
speak
for those who couldn’t. This is a therapy
blueprint which
helped me and others who suffered psychological traumas /
conflict-based issues. My
sessions were in-person but due to
the nature of sexual dysfunctions, many men were anywhere from
inappropriate
in-person. After a number of years, I resumed my practice only online.

Male Romance Scammers Online
I decided
I wanted to date and signed up
at a few online dating sites.Well
I did find men but they
were all known as Romance Scammers. Let
me state up front that I did
not send any money or anything to these scammers. All of these men were
either
architects or engineers; worked out of the US; lost their dear wives a
few
years ago. All of these men declared their undying love for me with
about a
week or two. In addition, most of these men asked me for money within
the same
time frame. They were
scammers
looking for money from me. There was a scammer who wanted a birthday
party for
himself and his son on me. There was a scammer who asked for money to
get home
to his son who felt abandoned. There was a scammer who asked for itunes
cards
and on and on and on. I did find one of these men on a scammer site.
It's
important to note that the pictures of these scammers were stolen from
real
people, one of which I found. So be careful and hopefully through my
site and
sharing other sites and web pages you will not be scammed.

This is a
study
about abuse and neglect
in elder care facilities. In February 2008 my mom became sick. Within
a short time she found it
more and more difficult to walk and so the hospital advised she go for
rehabilitation at a nursing home for a few weeks, before she would
return back
home to us. So began the search for a nursing home and rehabilitation
center.
It quickly became clear to me that my mom and other people in need
would
probably fair better very slowly crossing the street at a red light. My
opinion
sounds pretty drastic, doesn't it? Well my research left me in a fatal
state of
dismay and disgust. This is my research study about Nursing Homes /
Rehabilitation Facilities.
My
mom stayed one night in the nursing home which was recommended by the
hospital.
My brother stayed with my mom for the one night she was there. They
left first
thing in the morning after my brother relentlessly all through the
night kept
asking for water for my mom which she never received.
There
are between 16,000 and 18,000
nursing homes / rehabilitation centers in the U.S. I randomly selected
one
nursing home from each of the fifty states. As you read the
deficiencies, I'm
sure you will agree that the state of nursing homes is beyond belief,
beyond
anything we care to imagine, and yet, here it is! Still, I did wonder
if it
could be that in my random selection I picked the worst. I wish I could
say
that this is what happened. Caring for another should be so simple,
especially
for those people who chose to be in a caring profession. Shame on them!
If you
find yourself in such a situation, you will have to choose one. Ask
questions!
Ask many questions! Make the nursing home aware that you are aware! You
must
stay on top of it! Be relentless! There isn't any other choice! This is
the sad
truth about elder care!

Forever Together

my
nephews, Michael, Steven and Matthew. Steven was 19 years old when he
was died

Fact or
Fiction
This is my rendition of how the protect
and serve aspect of the law is not law after all. This is how it was
played out
when my son, Joseph Lozito, was viciously attacked by Maksim Gelman on
a New
York City subway on February 12, 2011. I also
have pictures.
“Cremate
me
and throw my ashes down the sewer.”
This is about my
brother,
Joseph. My
sisters and I knew he was depressed as we were, as we were all mourning
the
death of our mom on April 23, 2008. My brother, Joseph, lived in
Pennsylvania
and returned home after our mom’s funeral. My sisters and I called him
almost
every day and he sounded good, laughing and making us laugh. Joseph
then met a
woman I’ll refer to as TT. We begged him to move back to New York with
us and
in the end we did have him home but it was in a casket. This was
because of the
hell that TT put him through. His
last
written words were, "Cremate
me and throw my ashes down the sewer".
