Long Distance Relationship Tips

Rules, structure, consequences, time-outs, restrictions - all are words that children hate and many parents dread.  For all they are dreaded however, there is almost nothing - short of love - that children need more. 

From the beginning, a child focuses on exploring the world, on getting to know what is around them and pushing the edge of what is familiar.  When they are babies setting safe boundaries is pretty easy.  We put the sides up on the crib, place dangerous things out of reach, and dress them properly.  As they grow we move things out of their path, and we set limits on where they can go and what they can do without our supervision.  Boundaries provide safety and security, even if they do not like them.

By Michael Green

Me and My Shadow

            The famous Swiss psychologist Carl Jung spoke of the human shadow which can be loosely defined as those parts of ourselves that we pretend are not there, that we hide from others, and that we do not want anyone to know about.  Like our literal shadow, those inner secret parts follow us all the time.  Sometimes we get hints that they are there, but most of the time we do not see them.  Being aware of our shadows can give us some power over them and allow us to learn how they work against us.

Examples of shadows might be inner thoughts such as “I am not attractive,”  “I am not worthy,” or “I do not need or want anyone close to me in my life.”  If we are not aware of how they work, shadows can lead us to undermine our best intentions.  A shadow-based thought might sound like: “Since I believe I am not worthy of being loved, I will give you a reason to reject me.  I will unconsciously sabotage our relationship because it hurts less if I do it myself.”

If we are not honest with ourselves, how can be expect to be sincere with other people?

By hiding our true self we will only generate misunderstanding and a sense of malaise within interpersonal relationships.

Assertiveness is a skill we can acquire over time and a capacity that should be maintained. We should also avoid assuming extreme attitudes in one sense or the other. The capacity of being assertive in fact varies between two extremes, the first being that of total passivity,
