Who is Roland?


Roland who has an earned MS and Doctorate and over 22 years experience helping people from all walks of life on his radio program, says that he has observed that if a person looks for some feedback on some life or relationship issue on the internet, and is given any personal attention at all, it is from some faceless person.

A. MS in Human Relations, Doctorate in Pastoral Psychology, 20 year graduate school lecturer and author of 14 books. Over a million people have listened to Roland on the radio. His radio advice program has aired for 22 years.

"There's a whole big world out there, says Roland, who has a Doctorate in Pastoral Psychology and who has 22 years experience helping people. For too long, people on the internet have been ignored or not taken seriously.


"There is a world of hurt out there," says Roland. "People have needs, and many people just don't want to travel across town or get involved in some organization. Plus they want convenience."

"But people on the internet are real people who have real questions about life, spiritual and emotional issues, and relationships. They just want some advice or some feedback from a real person who is a professional, that's all.


That's why I'm here. I care about human beings and I will give you a truthful answer grounded in common sense and understanding of human nature. I hope this new service is a success, says Roland. I'll do my best. It just depends on whether people respond or not. "

"By the way," says Roland, "check out my blogs and free stuff in the right column. You will find dozens of articles, free books to read and more. All free."


I also understand that many people are already in therapy or getting help. I don't mind providing a little spiritual care giving to complement the care they are already getting.
Here are just a few of the issues I've been helping people with for 22 years:
Marriage issues, such as marital unhappiness, and communication issues,

Coping with infidelity

Relationship issues, including dating and courtship

Overcoming emotional issues, such as unhappiness, upset, anger, or anxiety

Letting go of doubts and fears

Parenting issues, blended families, single parenting

Help coping with stress

Overcoming feelings of inferiority or insecurity.

I look forward to chatting with you. Best time to reach me is 4 to 9 PM, California time 7 days a week.


Why Arguing Makes Things Worse

It is fairly obvious that arguing is not the most effective way to resolve disagreements. At the same time there is a certain release or discharge of pent up negative emotions. It can at times almost feel good to let your partner have it—to express the frustrations that you have tucked away. But this temporary release is often quickly follow by remorse over the hurtful things that have been said. It is important to remember that although conflict is healthy, arguing is not the best way to handle conflict.

The following are some of the reasons that arguing does not solve problems:

  1. No one is listening and no one feels heard or understood. You both end up feel more and more frustrated. Often arguments end, not because anything has been resolved, but because one or both of you have become so exhausted that you give up or walk away.
  2. Both sides quickly become defensive and react to what the other is saying. Considering possible solutions often take a back seat to throwing insults at each other.
  3. You both tend not to be completely honest with yourselves or your partner. As your anger rises, you get stuck in blaming your partner and find it difficult to see your own contribution to the problem.
  4. Arguments often become an excuse for dumping a truck load of garbage on your partner. Past hurts and resentments are used to pummel each other, to either deflect from dealing with the present issue or to release emotions that have been stuffed away.
  5. You are so busy defending yourself that you do not have the opportunity to consider that some of what your partner is saying may be valid and that there may be more than one way to arrive at a solution.
  6. Both of you are so busy hanging on to your positions and having to be right, that you miss the opportunity to become a team working together to solve a problem.

This does not mean that you have to stuff away all your hurts and frustrations. It does mean creating an atmosphere where the two of you are safe to express how you feel and know that you will take turns really listening to what the other is saying. It means being willing to put your defensiveness on the shelf and do your best to see and understand your partner's perspective. It means separating the problem from your partner and working together to a solve problem rather than fighting each other.
