One blogger is listening...................................................

Real listening. Well, they told me that the audience hears what they see before they hear what you have to offer. Some say that genuine listening is only 7% words; 40% tone; 53% body language. We learned active listening for times when you don't want a confrontation, but youhave a guest with a... Sign in to see full entry.

One Blogger who is Controlled by the Dance of Death........................

Blame, isolation, name-calling, denial, cliques and bullying, controlling behaviors and negative attitudes are all symptoms. -- kingmi If you want to remember why you are lovingly detached from a co-dependent who holds negative attitudes toward you, just pay them a visit. Shortly you will hear... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's one Blogger who has his act together................................

I posted a blog I found while researching the keyword "empowerment". He removes dual-mentality through Transcendental Meditation. I will give a brief "how-to" on Tibetan Buddhist Meditation -- TBM. It is not Transcendental Meditation. In fact they are extreme opposites. That blogger pointed out that... Sign in to see full entry.

Talking about enabling, thinking about empowerment.........................

OK, the next stop on this journey through the lives of the co-dependents, we hear everyone disagreeing about what is enabling behavior? Buddy T. on about.com delineates three roles that are typical responses to dependent behavior: So which of the spouses described -- the Rescuer, the Martyr, or the... Sign in to see full entry.

Bloggers Inspired by their "Do-it Yourself Psychotherapist"?

Finally, I am able to comment on the Ellie Smith Report, which I figure to be one of the leading news and commentary blogs for the international blogging community. I like his global view. So, my gratitude goes to BrightIrish for making the contact for me, to the Blogit! staff for either... Sign in to see full entry.

To the Blogit Staff. Please Investigate this international misunderstanding

With the permission of BrightIrish, herself, I would like to post an e-mail we have received from Ellie Smith, that terrific European globalist thinker and writer. Until recently, I have been blocked from commenting on his blogs. I could not remeber having stated any opinion that would be anything... Sign in to see full entry.

Co-dependent Relationships...............................................

The one thing I can attest to, being the product of an alcoholic family, is that they disagree. I, too, was an alcoholic, and at times the denial was so intense that I had to state that the reason I referred to us as an alcoholic family was because I was the alcoholic.

Pretend that you have someone to talk to about these issues (yourself)

OK, well the method of "feeling the pain and making it" is the basis for the grief process. Whether it is a house that you moved out from, a town or a region of the country that you moved away from, whether it is a parent that has died, a pet, a lover or an offspring, you have to grieve it. If you... Sign in to see full entry.

"I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass" -Don Henley

OK, a brief discussion of the grieving process begins with me mentioning the seminal book on the subject, Homecoming, by John Bradshaw.

Beauty is a curse. You have to get out that crowd

I was telling Carla (not her name) today how cursed she was. Take a look at that girl standing over there waiting for the bus. She was just standing staring out into the daytime sky, not even noticing the ridiculous antics of the boys. Carla had been sitting right among the boys, all falling around,...
