A child's misbehavior is a teachable moment and a consequence moment. For the parent, or school teacher, it is a moment for strategy rather than an emotionally driven response.

What would you like to teach the child? What is a consequence that somehow relates to the misbehavior?

Addicted?

One knows they are an addict when they wake up obsessively thinking about drugs, alcohol, activities, and or relationships that might make one feel better. Then you go to the kitchen a steal your wife's vanilla extract to put your coffee (35% alcohol), go next door to have s*x with your best friend's wife, go early to the Gym, on steroids, to pump some iron, smoke a fat one on the way to gamble at the race track, go to your AA meeting to say you love the steps, and later, you arrive late to your mandatory therapy session to report that everything in your life is fine, thank you!

You drive home on a revoked driver's license and go to bed feeling relieved that your wife is at her long time Al anon meeting. She knows you went to AA and therapy - so no problems for her without problems of her own to face or not!

Pita's mental and relationship health thought for the day; Types of codependency:

Other Focused - seeks relationships where they can enter into care taking roles of others to feel in control and to avoid reliance on others due to lack of trust in others.

Passive Dependent - seeks relationships with others where they can depend on others to take care of them to avoid self reliance due to lack of faith in oneself.

Self Focused - seeks caretakers who place few demands on them. They can be very demanding and manipulative in order to keep the focus on themselves and their own needs.

Dominating Others - seeks relationships with powerless people to maintain a false sense of power due to one's own fear of powerlessness.

Enabling of Others - seeks relationships with highly dysfunctional people who need them in order to avoid self examination and self responsibility.

Pita's Mental and Relationship Thought for the Day:

"Like little ducklings, we are imprinted to our original family dynamics - nature thinking that if this family survived, there is survival value in it and we should repeat it over and over again in our relationship with ourselves and others. Nature did not know that humans survive terrible dysfunction to reproduce as adults."

Individual, couples, family therapy and therapists need to better understand this and deal with it to really help people who are caught in that terrible cycle of repeating harmful behaviors and relationships over and over. Overcoming early childhood imprinting is an act of discipline that is akin to fighting nature and its impulses gone astray."

There world, I said it!

Need evidence? With all of this in mind, watch Pamela Anderson's interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckhkldOHaMc) and her therapy and therapists miss the significance of this still to this day. When one understands imprinting, one sees that attraction and impulse needs to never be ones guide to relationships if one comes from a severely dysfunctional background.

Years of individual therapy is probably not looking at imprinting as a factor. It's not just Psychological - it' also nature and genetics trying to replicate.

Do the world a favor and send this post around!

We all live with one foot planted in heaven and the other in hell while believing we have two feet on Planet Earth. Anyone capable of walking a straight line, with feet in opposition, is quite remarkable.
