The SelfWork Podcast 364 SelfWork: Compatibility vs Commitment, Facing Constant Anger, and Feeling Abandoned: Your Questions My Thoughts
I could think of no better way to continue this 8th season of SelfWork than to feature your questions and comments! Whether you communicate through email or voicemail or through my website contact form, YOU are the lifeblood of SelfWork. Yes, it’s true I often use what my own clients either have gone through or are going through as my “inspiration” for these episodes. Yet hearing from you means so much. It’s like turning up the lights in an auditorium so the person speaking can see the audience – it helps me see you. And your three topics for today are compatibility vs commitment, facing constant anger from your partner, and feeling abandoned by friends. So thank you!
All of these listeners are dealing with situations that have been ongoing for months if not years – so even though they don’t necessarily say “I’m depressed,” yet these kinds of relationship problems that drag on and on can certainly be a set-up for symptoms of depression, like hopelessness or helplessness. All three are about boundaries – the difficulty of setting them, of maintaining them, and when you get hurt by or don't understand them.
