Difficult people are everywhere. Maybe you're one of them, or maybe you're about to sit through an awkward holiday situation with someone you REALLY don't know how to handle.
This week, clinical psychologist Rachel Samson returns to answer all your questions on challenging people from the All in the Mind mailbox.
How do I deal with my coworker who's crossing boundaries? Should I try and make peace with my problematic family member?
We'll answer these questions and more — from how to avoid becoming a difficult person yourself, to the power of radical acceptance.
