Dear Doris, My wife continually badmouths my parents who we hardly ever see and live 500 miles away. Needless to say I don’t feel very close to my wife when she does this. How can I get her to stop? Tell her you love her but you also love your folks. Each time she bad-mouths them, she chips away at your good feelings for her....

When you look your partner in the eye while you communicate, you are less likely to spark a negative discussion. Think about the last conversation you had with your partner. What do you recall about the way he or she looked? Did your partner raise his eyebrows, puff out his cheeks, look disbelieving and smile incredulously? Did his hair lie a bit differently than usual?...

Someone I see in therapy asks, “I want to know how I can control my temperament/anger, and increase my patience with my 3 year old son. I am out of energy, struggling with my weight/shape, time management and level of responsibility at work. I feel like a zombie.” Three year olds can be a handful and everyone seems to be overwhelmed today....

When people don’t do what they say they will do, and manifest many passive aggressive behaviors, when do you stop being patient and take action.Our new wood floor in our living room is popping up along the baseboard. We’re not sure what’s causing the problem. In fact, no one seems to be sure. About eight months ago I called a company to come and give us an estimate to fix the floor....

A woman came for therapy because she had just learned that her boyfriend of several months was still involved with his old girlfriend. When I asked what she wanted from therapy, she said, “I want the guy to give up his girlfriend and commit to me.”...

All my life I have been a dog person. My first recollection of having a dog was when I was a small child. The dog’s name was Bum. He was always on the run. He would jump the fence and away he would go. The only other thing I remember about that dog was that my mom loved him dearly. So, I did too. ...

Do you realize that your thoughts determine how you behave? If you learn to control your thoughts, your behavior will change. You can change what, when, where, how often and how much you eat, and you will lose weight. It all starts with harnessing your thoughts. In other words, it’s that old adage: mind over matter. Every time you start to put something in your mouth this week say, “I am aware.” For example, ...

Shockingly, half of all children are bullied. And half of all kids actually bully others. We know that bullying goes on all the time among students, but what’s happening on the home front? A far bigger story is to be told. For example, the child who refuses to get ready in the morning and constantly makes her siblings anxious and late for school is involved in bullying behavior....

When parents stand their ground, children may not be happy.“This week I developed a backbone,” a mother told me. She decided to get tough when she looked at her daughter’s pay stub and discovered that she had earned less than $400 during an entire semester of college. Why? Because her daughter chose to work only a few hours a week....
