I remember going to a party of social workers (an oxymoron for sure) the year I entered graduate school. They had their own language. While I understood what they were saying, I didn't want to "grow up" and sound like that. Today I call it "shrink-speak" - and yes - I hear myself "sounding like that" a lot of the time!
In my last post, I used the shrink-speak term "being truly present". Let's make that term a bit more usable today.
Gayle's Top 5 Ways To Be Truly Present In Her Marriage:
5. Turn the radio off in the car when we are together.
4. Spend 30 minutes drinking coffee with Ron in the morning.
3. Shut up and listen (that means quiet the voices in my head too.)
2. Clear a day of commitments and don't answer the phone.
and my number 1 way of being truly present with Ron on any day....
1. Turn off any device with a screen (yes dear that includes my computer!)
