Jeane Cordingley, PsyD: I was born and raised in the western suburbs of Chicago. I trained both in Illinois and in California, where I maintained a private practice with my partner, Eric. Our focus was on issues concerning women in transition and relationships. In our practice, as in our daily lives, Eric leans more toward the academic side, while I tend to be more client orientated, involved and compassionate. I have been involved in two long term relationships in my lifetime; my 22 year marriage to Lowell and my 30+ year Perfect Relationship with Eric. Upon learning that I had Leukemia I wanted to return to the Chicago area to be closer to my beloved son, Tim. We gave up our practice in Southern California and returned to the Chicago area, where I underwent successful treatment for my illness. I am pleased to tell you that today I am in full remission and am well on my way to making a complete recovery. Much of my recovery is the result of my mindfulness practice and is, to me, further proof that the mind does work closely with the body.

Eric Erickson, PhD: As Jeane said above, we’ve been in practice for numerous years, the last eighteen of which have been devoted exclusively to women’s issues and those found in relationships. More pertinent to the subjects covered on this web site, however, is my history with relationships which, while not being a good one, demonstrates my growth both in awareness and as a person. Before meeting Jeane I was involved in nine separate relationships. Of these one was a four year marriage while the others were live-in arraignments which lasted from two months to several years. This record is clearly nothing to be proud of, especially in the light of the fact that six of these relationships involved decent, intelligent, educated women who genuinely cared for me.

Nine unsuccessful attempts at establishing a lasting, happy relationship with an equal number of differing personalities is a lot of failure and supports the idea that I was the biggest problem in these relationships. Fortunately, during this period I became friends with a couple who had a Perfect Relationship, so I knew that this level of happiness was possible. But at that time in my life it seemed to me that holding an advanced degree in psychology did little to help me form the relationship of my dreams. Then Jeane entered and changed my life forever, for while I possessed scholarship, she taught me its meaning. The renowned psychiatrist C. G. Jung said that, “Unless the physician has faced and overcome a problem personally all he can do when confronted by it in the consulting room is to intellectualize about it.” I certainly overcame my dismal history with relationships to build my 30 year plus Perfect Relationship with Jeane. In light of Dr. Jung’s brilliant observation, I consider this accomplishment to be my main qualification as a relationship counselor, teacher and therapist.
