Facing your pain, really standing in your pain-place without over-reacting in one way or another,
is as difficult as facing a real life fire-breathing dragon.

Of course you want to run away, or fight back. Dragons are scary.

But they are also harmless when we can see their fictional composition.
And to really see that, you have to tolerate your pain and face your fear.

You do not have to do it alone. You've got help. Let's tolerate, face, see & understand your dragons together.

TURMOIL / DYSFUNCTION
In the aftermath of a harrowing event, when our feelings are left raw and we have a belly-full of discomfort -- when we are anguished by our inability to effect a change in the dreaded outcome -- when we are desperately trying to quiet our desperation in the face of overwhelming feelings of helplessness -- when all actions are useless and deeds are meaningless and yet we are driven by the pain that is the motor of the very instinct that ensures our survival -- when there is no other pathway to inner peace,

WE TURN ON EACH OTHER

and fight over this and that, aimlessly, recklessly, passionately as we attempt to comfort ourselves at the expense of others.

Pro-this vs anti-that; freedom vs security; less-filling vs tastes-great -- pick your battle. Our skirmishes are just attempts to quiet the desperate helplessness that we do NOT want to feel. Winning a little verbal argument makes us feel like we are in control of our lives and our world, once again.

So go ahead and fight over gun control, (or abortion, or taxes, or drug use, or religion, or politics, etc) and bring to bear all the passion-distorted "evidence" that you want. I know you're hurting and you just need to get it out. I am your comrade, your friend, your brother. I feel it, too. I understand.

You are safe with me. I am your therapist.

If you take something away from your child to teach him the consequences of his bad behavior, also give him the chance to earn it back through his good behavior. Remembering to do that will triple the effectiveness of the discipline. More than just punishing bad behavior, you will also be rewarding good behavior and simultaneously strengthening the parent/child relationship by facilitating a positive ending to the discipline episode.

Information is ubiquitous at this time in history (thank you internet).

From looking OUT to the far edges of the universe (Hubble telescope), to looking IN at subatomic particles (MIT's Fermion Microscope), there seems to be endless knowledge available to us.

So why do we keep having the same conversations over and over again? 🙂

Let's stay curious.

Fighting with a loved one can be so uncomfortable. We try to avoid those unpleasant feelings one way or another.

We say that we are having communication problems. But really, we are having heart problems.

Our hearts hurt because we are afraid. In our fear, we do things to protect ourselves from being more hurt.

We might hide, or get angry, or space out, or get logical. We might laugh and giggle, and we might get mean. We use favorite tactics that have been developed over our lifetime to try to keep ourselves safe. Unfortunately, the behaviors that protect and defend us often times offend our partner.

When our partner’s knee-jerk defensive behaviors offend us, then a cycle is created. My defensive behavior offends you, and your defensive behavior offends me. Defend/offend, offend/defend. It is a recipe for conflict escalation and relationship pain.

There are ways to break the cycle. Your therapist will guide you. Mutually softened hearts is the agent of genuine change.

Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. - Martin Luther King Jr



Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
