A Look at Jealousy

by Kwame DeRoche No Comments
Ever been jealous? Don't shake your head like that, because you know you have. Everybody has. Why? Because at least once in everyone's life, somebody else has something they want, but can't have. And that's OK. It's human nature. Not the prettiest side of human nature, but natural nonetheless. "I want the same car as my neighbor." "I wish I had a job that easy." "How come SHE gets a $10,000 bonus?" Normal, human jealousy. Then, there's the other kind. The kind that leaves you sitting in your car in the Wal-Mart parking lot, waiting to see if she comes ...

Fostering the Growth of Intimacy Through Self-Disclosure

by Sara Reed No Comments
Self-Disclosure means telling your partner things you would not tell just anyone else. These are personal and intimate details about you, or your past. It may be anything from the fact that you were a real geek in grade school, to the details of a childhood trauma. Much research has supported that couples who self-disclose to each other are more satisfied with their relationship and experience feelings of greater intimacy. One study actually found that the more couples self-disclosed, the more likely they were to stay together, and the less they self-disclosed, the less likely they were to stay together ...

Effective Communication Skills

by Sara Reed No Comments
Intent vs. Impact When communicating, intent refers to the message you are trying to convey to the other person. Impact refers to the message they actually receive. If we were all top rate communicators, our intent would always match our impact perfectly. It is important to learn more about intent and impact because it is when they don't match, that bitterness and hurt feelings can result. Look at the following example: Jane had a really bad day.

by Dr. Clare Albright No Comments

Apology Accepted

by T.W. Winslow No Comments
I try to keep my personal life out of my column as much as possible. When asked, I say it's to keep my private life just that - private. Truth be known, I do this so as not to embarrass myself too much by announcing to the world all my faults and bad habits. However, something happened recently to make me stop and think, and at the risk of proving once again I too am only human, I thought I'd share it with you. My wife, Diane, was on her way out and I asked her to pick something up ... Read More ...

The Rebound Effect

by Rinatta Paries No Comments
I have observed a particular painful relationship dynamic. By addressing this dynamic, I hope to prevent it from happening in your current or future relationships. I call this dynamic "the rebound effect." Let's observe this dynamic in action by looking at a love relationship in progress. Having been together for a while, a couple is having problems. The woman finds herself getting less of what she wants and needs from her partner. She starts to harbor resentment. The man finds himself more criticized and distances from the woman. The partners seemingly cannot hear one another. They are in the middle ... Read More ...
