Creative Solutions for Handling
Difficult Relatives
The
overly critical mother-in law. The opinionated aging
parent. The brother who delights in resurrecting childhold
rivalries. The bigoted uncle. The father who continually
comments on your weight and appearance. The
cousin who flaunts her money and status.
Ah yes. Family. You've got to love
em, but, sometimes, certain family members, push our
buttons and shake up our inner world. In fact, in a
recent poll, over 75% of us report that we have at least
one family member that gets on our nerves and 68% described
family get-togethers as frustrating and/or an obligation
they don't enjoy. No matter who or what the source of
discord, the result is the same: unpleasant interactions
that literally sap our energy and often leave us cringing.
Would you like to have fewer arguments and less tension
around these difficult family members? If you prepare
yourself, even a little bit, to feel healthy and relaxed
prior to a family visit, it can dramatically change
how you react to the predictable stressors at your family
gatherings.
Dr. Len Felder and I did this
show to help you learn clear cut things to say and do
to make your family get-togethers and overall family
relationships more harmonious for you than ever before.
On our show you’ll learn about....
Your relative may still do what
they have always done, but with your new understanding
and use of some very practical and easy tools, you may
be surprised at how many more gratifying moments you
will be able to enjoy.
