Embrace Resiliency

With the new year upon us, embrace resiliency, amplify your strengths and believe in yourself.If watching your weight and keeping to an exercise regimen seems a drag, try switching your frame of reference. View weight watching and exercise as a privilege. See it as a way to build stamina, character and resiliency. Dr. Paul Pearsall, neuropsychologist and author of the “Beethoven Factor” refers to adversity as “stress-related-growth.” Dr....

Corrector, Corrector

The Corrector is a person whose main focus in life is to find the flaw and then point it out. Correctors think and know that there is a right way to fold socks, a right way to put dishes in the dishwasher, a right way to cut the grass, and a right way to catch a fish. And they are more than happy to tell you how to do it....

The Scorpion and the Horse

According to Aesop, there once was a scorpion who wanted to cross a river. A horse was grazing along a river bank. “Kind horse,” said the scorpion, “Will you take me on your back across the river?” Thinking it over a moment, the horse replied, “Sure. Hop on my back.” When the horse reached the middle of the river, he turned his head to look at the scorpion, and just at that moment the scorpion lifted his tail and stung the horse....

Don’t Attach A String

If you do something for someone else make sure it’s for the right reasons. I spoke to a woman in therapy who is annoyed with her mother. She says her mother volunteers to do things for her church group, such as prepare a meal or drive someone to the doctor’s. Then her mother complains about everything she does for others and that they don’t appreciate it....

Little Irritations

As the holiday season approaches, and the busyness picks up, you may find yourself with more irritations. Instead of letting little irritations become a big issue, best rethink how to deal with them. Some years ago a woman came to me because of her mother-in-law. She and her husband had been married for four years and had two small babies. The problem was that when her mother-in-law came for a visit, she would go through her daughter-in-law’s dresser drawers and medicine cabinet....

Emotional Eating and the Holidays

When picking up something yummy to eat during the holidays, ask yourself first, am I eating to satisfy my hunger or my emotional state? Be careful during the holiday season not to overeat just because you’re stressed. One time, before the holidays, I had a particularly trying week. I had worked way too many hours at the office and had spent too little time resting....

Why are some people so indecisive? Is there a hidden agenda? No matter what, some people can’t seem to make a decision. What’s even more exasperating is that when you try to make the decision, they won’t let you. For example: Sue asks me one day, “Where would you like to go for lunch?”I say, “It’s up to you.”...

Dear Doris, My wife continually badmouths my parents who we hardly ever see and live 500 miles away. Needless to say I don’t feel very close to my wife when she does this. How can I get her to stop? Tell her you love her but you also love your folks. Each time she bad-mouths them, she chips away at your good feelings for her....

When you look your partner in the eye while you communicate, you are less likely to spark a negative discussion. Think about the last conversation you had with your partner. What do you recall about the way he or she looked? Did your partner raise his eyebrows, puff out his cheeks, look disbelieving and smile incredulously? Did his hair lie a bit differently than usual?...

Someone I see in therapy asks, “I want to know how I can control my temperament/anger, and increase my patience with my 3 year old son. I am out of energy, struggling with my weight/shape, time management and level of responsibility at work. I feel like a zombie.” Three year olds can be a handful and everyone seems to be overwhelmed today....
