Clarity for a Thoughtful and Caring Person

These are important questions for a caring and thoughtful person – a person who wants the best for everyone. You know that divorce is expensive in so many ways. You also know a dead marriage takes a catastrophic emotional toll. And, the green grass out there can quickly turn to a dying brown.

If these questions naw at you or consume your waking moments, know you are not alone.

I’ve worked with thousands as a Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice and later online. The thoughtful caring person often sits on the fence, fearful of leaving and fearful of staying. You know so much is at stake.

I offer you my best resources, complied and used effectively by many over the past 3 decades, in an online course, “Is It Worth It?”

Unless…

In the 90s, while in my private practice, I saw a new client at 5:00 in the afternoon. In tears she stated she wanted to save her marriage.

The next day her picture was on the front page of the local newspaper. Her husband stabbed her in the bath tub not more than 8 hours after I met her.

Play With This

Start now evaluating your situation. Fill out the checklist. Note which statement (or the top 2) that grab you the most. Spend the next 24 hours focusing on that statement. Notice what thoughts, images, memories emerge. You might begin to explore a critical issue which will offer direction.

Straight Forward, Real and Doable

I want you to know that your course helped me far more than any of the others because it was straight forward, real and doable. I am constantly going back to refresh myself with things to think about. It’s a great resource to see just how far I’ve come. I am an educated professional and was skeptical about online resources. But your advice is wise, anticipates my questions and is reassuring.

Voice of Confidence, Assurance, and Guidance

Thank you for being a voice of confidence, assurance, and guidance in this quagmire. At last somebody who was giving practical advice, somebody who called ‘a spade, a spade’, somebody who, above all, never gave up on me and understood my dilemma and my hesitance to order and pay for courses over the Internet.

So, Bob, I just wanted to drop in and say… I’m making it. Life isn’t perfect, I wonder sometimes if I’ll love again and be able to have a relationship and trust again but that’s in the future. For now my health and my children and my life are my focus and that serenity. And to thank you for your kind, wise words.

Thank you so much. Your materials have been my saviour. I have rediscovered myself and found my inner strength and will just be me, the one i used to be that somewhere along the line got lost.
Kind regards
Debra

Lesson: From Soulmate to Enemy

Here are the Top Eight Key Points in deciding “Is It Worth It?”

(I’m giving you a head start!)

  1. Do NOT consider or ever ask yourself, “Do we love each other? Can we love each other? Love is a loaded word and does not accurately define the dilemma.
  2. Forever rid yourself of the thought and goal that you must recapture that “loving feeling.” That “loving feeling” is tied to the first (and beginning) part of a relationship. Your future experience of “love” will be much different.
  3. Don’t think in terms of all or nothing. There are many gray areas that we must accept in a relationship of emotional investment. These gray areas are fuel for growth. The objective is not to create a perfect marriage or avoid a lousy marriage.
  4. Stress in a marriage is often triggered by specific life changing events. Note where the marriage stands in relationship to those events.
  5. What are you dealing with? Are you bumping against the angst of temporary stress or have you for past months or years been slogging through long term destructive patterns?
  6. The gray areas in a marriage, which by necessity are always there, lead to a series of decision points. With varying intensity you confront, “Is this worth it?”
  7. Understand and embrace how you modify and/or cope with the tension in your marriage. How do you separate from that tension. (This helps if one says, “Maybe it’s time I get an apartment.”)
  8. Consider the quirkiness, uniqueness, gifts and personality of your spouse. Why DID you marry THAT person?

Achieve Calm and Clarity

You will know that your marriage, your relationship, your love and the demands placed on that relationship is always changing and adjusting.

You will view your marriage as a work in progress which eliminates some of the pressure, illusions and betters prepares you to face what must be faced.

You will have the capacity to stand back and see the larger picture of your marriage or relationship that enables:

You to identify where you are now in this process of being married. Such knowledge results in less fear and confusion.

You not to be surprised when your marriage births a crisis.

Your panic level to diminish.

You to have a sense of control and personal power.

You to no longer feel like a leaf blowing in the wind.

You to stave off thinking you are unlovable.

You to move off center and experience that “stuck” feeling less often and will less intensity.

You to know there are answers.

You to validate your uneasy feelings and inklings.

You to feel normal

Thanks again a bit of a Lifesaver, aren’t you
