Managing Conflict

Holiday Help For Emotional Eaters

Weight is just that, weight. It is an inadvertent way to keep you on the ground. You are grounded when you have clarity. You are in control, and your creative mind is working to its full potential. With grounding comes enhanced intuition, you may be surprised just what flows forth when you are secure in your own self-being. Grounding offers complete confidence in your abilities and who you are. It gives you the ability to STAY motivated.

The best way I describe not being grounded, in relation to food, are my bouts with binge eating and bulimia. I never focused on what I was eating. It was more about what I would eat next. One thing after another was consumed before I had time to even think about what I was swallowing. During those times, there never was an "Earth to Catherine" moment.

These aren't magic bullets by any means. But if you a) empathize with what your child is going through, b) make sure (s)he knows no one deserves bad treatment from anyone, and c) become your child's #1 advocate, then you will help the situation.

Coming To Terms With Anger

Do you ever find yourself stuck in a rut of anger, wishing you understood a bit more about anger management?

Recently I worked with a client who stated she had a lot of unresolved anger. When I asked her what she meant, she said she often blew up at people, even when she knew expressing anger was not the best response. She quickly named several scenarios when this had recently happened. She talked about situations at work, with her husband, and with her children. In the process of telling me about her anger I could see that she was getting rather upset.

As I almost always do, I asked her at some point to slow down, take several deep breaths, and notice the physical sensations taking place in her body, as well as noticing me sitting in front of her, and the totality of the surroundings in my office. At first she seemed uncomfortable slowing down, and then after just a minute or two I felt that I noticed her emotional state change.

Arguing

Arguing - what's it good for? Arguments are rarely "won." When you think you won an argument, what did you win? The "loser" at least learned something, right? But what did you get? Debating practice, ego satisfaction, and diminished brain power.

Steps to Derail Difficult People
Your Surefire Way to a Peaceful Solution

That one guy at work that always has to be right; your buddy's wife who can't eat anywhere they serve burgers, or the monster-in-law, I mean mother-in-law, with too many opinions for your own good, difficult people, we all know them. So the question is, is there a right and a wrong way to deal with them? The answer is yes, if you want to avoid unnecessary confrontations.

First, keep in mind that it is very unlikely you will ever change the other person, so dealing with their difficult personality won't be just a one time Incident, but an every time skill. Don't sit back saying nothing until you absolutely can't take it one more second. Your pent up frustration will only result in a catastrophic blowout. The best approach is to confront and handle the situation as it occurs.

How To Deal With Rude People

Where I live there seems to be a a growing population of rude and vulgar people. And no matter how hard I wish for things to change it is not going to happen. It is up to me to change how I think and feel about these people. The same applies for you.

Dealing with Difficult People

Dealing with difficult people can be exhausting. And most of the energy drain comes from blaming them for making your life miserable. Blaming others is the same as turning over all your power. It's saying that other people control your outcome. Responding as a victim is a choice that automatically gives the other person the upper hand.

Dealing with Anger

Anger ... how we struggle with this primitive, upsetting emotion. Denied to women, it was at the same time the "all purpose" emotion for a generation of men -- the only legitimate way they could express any emotion, since tenderness, grief, shame and sympathy were women's territory.

Fair Fighting

Do you ever worry that if you argue too much with your spouse you'll end up getting a divorce? Some people believe that when two people are happy in their relationship, they should never argue. However, in real life, disagreement is inevitable at some point in any relationship. Excessive fighting can certainly take a toll on you and your relationships. Heated arguments with your partner in which there is a great deal of blame, criticism, or withdrawal are bad for your health.

Managing Conflict, Emotional Tension and Anger

To be a safe and predictable person for those around you at work and at home, it is essential that you are able to maintain your composure when you feel like your 'buttons' are being pushed. This strength will help you to achieve your goals in business as well as your goals for your personal relationships.

Managing Conflict, Emotional Tension and Anger

Getting Past the Arguments

One of the hardest things to handle in a relationship is conflict. While a good and fair fight can clear the air and help you to feel closer to your lover, many fights are just hurtful and destructive. Fights that never go anywhere, that are repeated year after year, or that leave you feeling awful about yourself are not going to help your relationship. Those are the kinds of fights we need to take another look at, and find out what is going on underneath. This is true for any conflict that doesn't feel right, not just those you have with your lover.

Are You Able To Say Both 'Yes!' And 'No!'?

When it is all said and done, when we delve deeply into our emotions, we almost always find that our strongest and most habitual response is covering up other feelings that we are not fully aware of. We feel hurt, disrespected, abandoned, or sad, and we cover over these feelings and lose touch with them, by expressing anger or resentment instead. When we find ways to tap into our deeper emotions we invariably find that we have been neglecting some form of pain or discomfort. When we neglect or simply don't notice our deeper emotional reactions, we lose the ability to express our full range of emotions. In the process we find that by consistently expressing only one segment of our entire emotional range, we limit our ability to be happy and feel at ease within ourselves and with those that we interact with.

Eight Simple Anger Management Tips

People are beginning to wake up to the dangers of anger and the need for anger management programs and strategies. Many people find anger easy to control. Yes, they do get angry. Everybody does.

For those who have a tough time controlling their anger, an anger management plan might help. Think of this as your emotional control class, and try these self-help anger management tips:

Conflict ... A New Perspective

I was recently asked to address the issue of conflict resolution at the hospital of one of our clients. In today's fast-paced and stressed-out society, conflict resolution is a critical issue. People don't always have the time or the tools to handle conflict.

The word 'conflict' connotes something bad. People think of conflict and they think of two people in a heated argument. But as the workplace shapes itself to recognize and be more accepting of diversity and differing opinions and as companies write their diversity policies, why not change the way we view conflict and embrace it as something to be valued instead of dispelled?

Conflict ... A New Perspective

Difficult People -- How To Deal With Them

When people behave towards you in a manner that makes you feel angry, frustrated or annoyed -- this is known as a Hook. We can even become "Hooked" by the way people look, how they talk, how they smell and even by their general demeanour. If we take the bait then we are allowing the other person to control our behaviour. This can then result in an unproductive response. We have a choice whether we decided to get hooked or stay unhooked.

The 5 Keys to Interpersonal Success

In survey after survey, interpersonal communication skills are consistently ranked at or near the top of a list of skills necessary for career success. People who possess these skills enjoy a richer personal life, better relationships at work and more productive interactions with those around them. Teams with members who excel at these skills are more productive and more cohesive. No one is born with these "people skills." They are the result of attention and practice. Here are five guaranteed ways to hone your people skills.
