Friendship before love is the test of a compatible relationship. Friendship during love holds it together. Friendship after love is always stronger. I’m so thankful to have married my friend.

In Danielle Bayard Jackson’s book, she suggests that “the key with fundamental attribution theory is to explore whether it’s helpful to extend the benefit of the doubt whenever a friend doesn’t come through, or to jump straight to assumptions and character demerits.”(Jackson, pp. 55). Judgement is the biggest killer of relationships of any kind, and knowing that, it is much more helpful to inquire about a friend’s actions than to condemn them with a judgmental attitude. If you are likely to have a reasonable explanation based on circumstance, allow them to have theirs.

Self-doubt often occurs due to a lack of trust and confidence in ourselves. Acknowledging that there is a high degree of inner knowing means that you believe deep down in your wisdom and truth regardless of circumstance. This also provides more strength and resilience, as well as less tolerance towards abuse intended to demean, confuse or keep you small. If someone causes you to doubt yourself, recognize the impact of their actions without internalizing the blame. Find healthy and supportive relationships that foster your growth rather than cut it down.

Many people notice the behavioral manifestation of trauma as a need for a survivor to control or manipulate their environment. Controlling tendencies can feel overwhelming for both the trauma survivor and for others who are closely involved with them. The reasons for these tendencies exist largely to reinforce a sense of safety in the survivor’s environment, although the consequences may lead to more aggravating circumstances in the long run. To relinquish the illusion of control is therefore to acknowledge that life happens as it does despite any effort to protect or prevent against certain outcomes.

Thinking about life as an investment rather than a competition, encourages us to slow down and recognize the value of investing time and energy into our efforts, endeavors and relationships. As the tortoise and hare demonstrates, life is not a race. When we slow down and think about what truly matters we are less invested in the outcome. It’s about the journey and the company you keep along the way.

If you find yourself spending too much time aimlessly scrolling, checking your smart phone apps, or obsessing over social media, you could be addicted to your device. Smart phones and other devices have become a real form of dopamine addiction, similar to alcohol or other drugs. Similarly, your reward circuit is looking seeking pleasure and becomes overstimulated by smart phone use, causing you to spend more time using it to get the same effect.
None of us are immune. I like to tell the story that after Smart phones first came out in 2007, I resisted purchasing one for nearly 10 years, seeing them as unnecessary. I have since come to terms with the value of smartphones in our generation, but just like any other consumption of media, it should be limited and monitored.

As we start out the new year with our new workout routines in place, these reminders are important to remember. While exercise can be enormously beneficial for mental health, the fitness industry has driven competition and harmful messaging that contaminates these concepts by providing faulty perfectionistic, body shaming and unrealistic standards around exercise. Sarah Kurchak mentions in her book, “It’s hard to carry the weight of all your past experiences every time you try to take a step. It’s hard to push back against a lifetime of destructive messages floating around in your head….you can chip away at those lies, you can heal the wounds they’ve left you with, and you can build something new in their place that will actually be good for you.” (Kurchak, p26-27).

The saying 'if you don’t value someone, you will lose them' serves as a reminder to acknowledge and appreciate the people who consistently show up for us. Failure to do so can result in complacency, neglect, and ultimately, the loss of meaningful relationships.

Therapists need friends too. It is a mistake to think that people who are “strong” are less in need of genuine support and companionship. When someone needs to be needed they will only feel useful until they are no longer needed or until they fade into codependency. This cycle is normal with clients, but it is not healthy in friend or family relationships. It takes a conscious effort to shift the dynamic, even for therapists and healing professionals. When we realize we actually want to be wanted rather than needed, the dynamic becomes more balanced.

Do you recognize power plays in your toddler? How about in your parent? Or in the workplace? Power plays never work, in fact they backfire through erosion of trust and credibility. Once you don’t know who you can trust, the game is over.
