Title: self awareness?
Post by: rarsweet on July 01, 2015, 11:21:35 PM
So ex asked about the child development program I do with daughter. I told him what I have learned there and I got into trauma, abuse, etc and the effects on kids brains, elevated cortisol, and how I had been doing more research on it. SHOCKER... .he said " wow wonder if that's my problem being brought up by my dad". I was just kind of speachless and moved into something else. Am I overreacting hoping for a lightbulb moment? Or do we just become like our own parents?

I'd run with that... .with caution. Learn the tools on the staying board. You may open up a dialog.

Sure,.you're not his T, nor would you want to be. My T observed that despite it all, my Ex still respected me. He cautioned, however, to not over use it. But he was saying, use it when you can.

It really makes me realize how easy it is for us to analyze other people and not look at ourselves. Which is something I need to work on also.
