Welcome to my blog!

I am Dr. David Puder a psychiatrist based out of Redlands California.

I blog to share my curiosity and passion on how we can improve our connections with others.  I dream that we might embrace the challenge of pursuing more meaningful connections as the primary goal.

Connection was not something that always came naturally to me.  Some trials and set backs led me to the realization I was not connected with my emotions and with others.  But through approaching connection like one might approach becoming an expert musician or world class athlete, I decided to see feedback as a gift, found amazing mentors, enrolled in advanced training, experienced therapy first hand, and took on therapy patients.

It is not some theoretical science, but rather something artistic, beautiful, contagious and deeply meaningful.  Join me.
