Pleasers Are Really Naive And Unaware

By Arlene · Comments (0)
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

By Joan Chamberlain

A Deeper Look at the Pleasing Personality.

I was talking with Ryan yesterday. He’s about seven months into a divorce proceeding and pretty bitter about it. We’ve talked about his 13-year marriage many times, exploring it from different angles to learn more about Ryan. This marriage is his third; this divorce is his third. (And, this is a really great guy!) Altogether, Ryan has been married 41 years.

Ryan is an exaggerated Pleaser personality. He was married each time to an exaggerated Comfort personality. It’s not uncommon for this combination of personalities to find each other. Read More→

How to Deal With Critic, Slights, and Humiliation

Monday, December 26th, 2011

By Olaf Schwennesen

The disrespectful remarks of other people – slights, critics, or humiliations – can hurt us very much. Sometimes it hurts so much that we want to take revenge to restore our wounded self-esteem. Why is it possible that critic and humiliation are able to harm us? The answer can be found in our biological heritage.

We are the product of millions of years of evolution. Though living in totally different circumstances than our prehistoric ancestors, we carry almost the same body with us – and that means also the same brain. Read More→

The Real Root of All Evil Is Not Money

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

By Valencia Ray MD

The real root of all evil is not money; it’s lack of self-acceptance. By the way, even the Bible doesn’t say it’s money. There it says the “love of money” and love as used in the proper translation would be “lust” or attachment – in other words, greed. This is where lack of self-acceptance comes into the conversation.

We are so conditioned to look for love in all the wrong places outside of ourselves that we overlook the very source of so much of our pain and suffering. What drives greed, truth be told, is a fear of powerlessness and insecurity. Humans are driven by essentially two questions: “Who am I” and “Why am I here?” Read More→

Feeling Worthy After Divorce

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

By Frances Copping

So many people go through life with an underlying feeling of unworthiness which not only chronically lowers their mood, but also stunts their success in life. This is especially true for people who have gone through divorce and separation:

“He was unfaithful, I must be ugly!”
“If she doesn’t want me any more I must be a horrible person!”
“No-one will want me now!”
“Who’s going to want me with kids in tow!” (that was one I said to myself many times!)

Being in this emotional state feels awful; so what can be done about it? Read More→

Boosting Your Self-Esteem During Hard Times

By Arlene · Comments (0)
Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

By Kevin Sinclair

It’s already extremely trying to get your self-esteem boosted during the normal times, but what do you do when you are going through the hard times? How can you make yourself feel better in your self-esteem?

When life happens, such as the loss of jobs, loss of relationships, or illness, you can experience a loss of self-esteem. The first thing that we do, is to blame ourselves. We feel that if we were simply “good enough,” this wouldn’t have happened to us. We might get to a point of clarity to realize that this isn’t true, but we still need a way to feel better!
