It was over twenty years ago that I had my first job working at a Psychiatric Hospital. A young 16 year old gal came to the hospital after trying to kill herself through a drug overdose. I was assigned to be her counselor and we hit it off very well until her family came to visit. During our first family counseling session her mother, step-father and aunt all had nose bleeds. I thought this was so unusual and wondered how three adults could have this happening at the same time (I was so naive!!!).

Suzie and Sam are constantly fighting. They have what I call “rightitis” and this condition makes you deaf and blind to the validity of the feelings of others.

In my professional life I meet couples like Suzie and Sam all the time, and most often by the time they are in my office the relationship is in critical condition. I usually open with this: “You know I have no problem with you fighting, as a matter of fact a fair fight every now and then is a good thing - it keeps us passionate”. |
