By | May 29th, 2017|Categories: Adult, Childrens Therapy, Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, Grief Therapy, Parent|

Stupid? Or, in possession of different gifts?   Lately, I have heard many of the following phrases a lot: ~He is so stupid, he just can’t seem to understand~ ~She is as dumb as a box of rocks~ ~I just can’t work with this person, she has zero intelligence~   When we speak about our fellow humans like this, we are automatically going into a 1-up position.

“I CAN UNDERSTAND THEIR GRIEF,……But” This phrase makes my blood boil. And I heard it numerous times on February 29th on the A.M. news shows by Republicans who loved #45’s speech on February 28th 2017. One Republican leader said: “I can understand their grief” when they were  talking about the family of   slain Navy Seal, William “Ryan” Owens in the recent raid on Yemen.

Stand BY me, NOT ON me…………….

~Stand by me, NOT on me~   If the only way you can be seen is to give yourself away, what good it is to be seen? If the only way you can be “loved”, is to meet all of their needs first, when will it ever be your turn? If the only way to be supported is to let them stand on you, how long can you hold them up before you fall
