Cave Person Anger

No comments

The theme in my practice has been anger this week.  You know, that revved up feeling that you get when something really p*&%es you off.  We all have it to a greater or lesser degree.  We would not want it to go away entirely either.  You want to be able to fight or flee if someone is attacking you.  But the problem with most relationship situations is that the other person is not really trying to attack you.  It just feels that way. Yesterday, I was telling my husband that WE forgot to write our friend a check for money that we owed.  I heard him respond from the other room and this is what he said: instead of talking about writing the check, you could just write the check.

Don’t think positively!

One of the most common ways a client will sabotage their own progress is through negative thinking. You know negative thinking…  It’s when you try to embark upon something and a little voice in your head pops up and says, No!  You can’t.  You never could.  Don’t you remember the time you totally screwed that up?  

My clients who struggle with starting their own businesses say things like:  Maybe this isn’t for me.  Maybe I am better off having someone else call the shots.  Maybe I should go back to what I was doing.  Maybe I am not the type who can do this.
