TROUBLE
That is what happens when one persons ideas or opinions run cross ways to others, and isn't this just what happens much too often between people in all walks of life !
The following is but a sample of the many issues that people come to me with.
"I'm right" and "you are wrong" is often the battle cry !
"If you don't agree with me it means that you think I'm dumb and/or unimportant" !
"I've given my all to you and you show me little if any appreciation" followed all to often with "which means that I'm flawed and unworthy" !
"After all I've done for you and this is what I get?"
"You ! Are MY brother/sister ! How could you treat me this way?"
"After working so hard to be the perfect employee and that rotten other person got the promotion" !
"I've had bad or no parents and have struggled all my life to get where I want and now this happens" when will it end ?
"He left me for a younger woman, how inferior I must be" !
"My parent took up with this other person that ended up being neglectful and/or abusive and we all have suffered for it" !
"I've had one or more failed relationship/marriage and I can't get past feeling inferior in some way" !
"I haven't spoken to my brother/sister for several years now, is there anything I can do to mend the fence" ?
"I haven't spoken to my mother/father for a long time, is there anything I can do to mend this" !
"I'm twenty one, attractive, employed, have my own place and haven't had a date for over a year, what's keeping me in this rut and how do I get out of it" ?
"My self-esteem is always up and down, how do I get off this roller coaster" ?
"I recently lost a loved one and feel devastated, how do ease these terrible feelings" ?
"Divorce seems to be looming in my future, what can I do to stop what's happening" ?
"I have a good marriage but we only have sex maybe twice a year"
"My husband has become impotent and we are both confused as how to deal with it, can you be of help" ?
"My children ask so many questions, how do I deal with it all" ?
And these are the ones I can post here ! I'll not go into some of those that are "heart wrenching". But they do happen, and they happen to people of all walks of life, both the young and the old, the rich and the poor, the schooled and the unschooled, male or female, seems to make no difference.
Using the cognitive behavior model I have found a method that has a PROVEN track record of bringing relief, even to the most resistant of emotional upset ness.
As I have said before it may not always be easy, but I promise you this, I will hang in there and stay with you until you reach the goal of having an emotionally healthy life.
In the process of learning to "feel" better I will also assist you in Getting better. so that you will be able to stay out of trouble in the future.
