SHADOW SELF Here is something to ponder then next time you find yourself annoyed by someone you are with. We project onto others what we have disowned in ourselves. Can’t stand how whiny a co-worker is or how selfish your sister-in-law appears to be? Well I have news for you; the people who we are most critical of are the ones that are acting out our own suppressedqualities. These are qualities that we don’t like or want to acknowledge. |

Within any personal relationship disagreements will arise, especially during the holiday season as we will be spending more time with friends and family. This is a normal part of any relationship. When I meet with couples, family members, and freinds that are struggling in their relationship, I have find that one of the core problems is poor communication. Whether the issue at hand is petty or serious is really irrelevant. What is important is how each person responds to and resolves the conflict. |

We all find ourselves at one point or another wondering, “where did all the chips go”, while sitting with the bag on your lap watching TV. I did it but my vice was thin mint Girl Scout Cookies. The sleeve was gone before I could blink and then I was left feeling remorseful and contemplating 30 different ways to work off the cookies! Before I got myself into a tizzy I did a “checked in” with myself, something I suggest often to individuals who struggle with over eating or mindless eating. |
