Stef's Present with Handmade WrappingImage by ex.libris via FlickrHome visit tools for the Holidays – Avoid Family Friction

This will be a short note, just a quick missive for all you loyal CorePsychBlog readers out there, a little useful Holiday present to brighten your family of origin interactions. [Also this piece applies to war, and corporate management, but those observations will be there for a later posting!]

I just completed an article over at EzineArticles [the title of this post], and because they have about a 7 day review period, it might not be published there before this weekend. I do hope you find time to read it before '09.

The seven basic boundary tips in this article will come up at the bottom of my page over at EzineArticles. The article reviews some easy tips to manage family of origin issues that seem so frequent over Holiday times – and these tips will last for the rest of your life!

Thanks so much for continuing to join me on these pages, I really appreciate the opportunity to 'speak' with so many interesting folks!

Have a great Holiday Season!

BTW: Whole new blog architecture coming out here in 09 – you will love it, less clutter, easier researching the details!
Best,
Chuck

    Deb,
    Thanks so much for your kind remarks, hope your Holiday is working out well.

    It takes about 3 mos after some of the main kinks are ironed out to accept/really feel that you can live in this new person. – years of waiting for the other shoe to drop makes everyone a bit suspicious of progress-

    Merry Christmas. Sorry I haven’t been in touch over matter we discussed; it isn’t over, still playing waiting game on missing file.

    Happy Holidays to YOU, Dr. Parker. I have appreciated your VAST amount of wisdom (different than just information), knowledge and practical advice.

    This has been a tough year of coming to terms with my newly diagnosised ADHD, and learning TRUE (and deep!!!) recovery. Without your column, I would have NEVER been able to help my prescriber get the right dose, and I would have not been able to participate and truly direct my own recovery.

    I have been able to identify for myself for the FIRST time, what are executive functioning issues, what is anxiety, and what is my own passionate, intense, sometimes a little damaged, but always resilent personality. I have finally realized, there are some things I just need to practice, and that’s cool too.

    Although I have by NO means licked the thing, I believe it doesn’t drag me by the ears any more, at IT’S mercy. I am more honest to myself (I think because of less anxiety) and have made progress in changing habits, based on reality, not what I WISH were true about me. (NO closet reorgs after meds wear off!) I have had much less anxiety just don’t feel “lost” in my own life so much. I think this is called PEACE, and I really like it. I just have to thank you for your huge piece in this PROJECT I have undertaken.

    Peace to You,
    Your Fan, Deb
