GENERAL CONTENTMENT SCALE  ( BASED ON SCALES BY Walter Hudson PhD)

 I hope this scale will underline areas of need in your life. 

It is also important when you take such an inventory of

your inner self that you take joy in those areas

that are peaceful, fulfilling and joyful.   

I would like to meet with you and explore the blessings

of your strengths and support you in lifting yourself

out of your weaknesses

address those needs.
