| c0d2232 | Control is an illusion--a fact you will learn very fast if you become ill, or have things fall apart in some other way. When we understand vulnerability and suffering as an essential part of being human, our individual fate can be easier to manage. | vulnerability | Harriet Lerner | |

| 00191b5 | I've seen any number of devastated men in therapy who tell me their wives left them out of the blue. The women, however, claim to have voiced their anger and discontent for a long time. Both are right; he hasn't listened well enough; she hasn't shared her thoughts about leaving clearly enough or early enough in the process. Often one person doesn't make a serious issue of divorce until she's finally made up her mind to leave. Any changes he.. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| c188f7e | I feel calmed and relieved when my husband knocks at my study door in the middle of a fight, puts his arms around me, and says, "I love you. This is stupid. Let's just drop it." Like two kids in the sandbox, we're suddenly light and playful again." | Harriet Lerner | ||

| af8a6c3 | I remain inspired and transformed by something I learned from Harriet Lerner's book The Dance of Connection.3 Dr. Lerner explains that we all have patterned ways of managing anxiety. Some of us respond to anxiety by overfunctioning and others by underfunctioning. Overfunctioners tend to move quickly to advise, rescue, take over, micromanage, and get in other people's business rather than look inward. Underfunctioners tend to get less compet.. | Brené Brown | ||
| 7f2dee6 | All of us are vulnerable to intense, non-productive angry reactions in our current relationships if we do not deal openly and directly with emotional issues from our first family--in particular, losses and cutoffs. If we do not observe and understand how our triangles operate, our anger can keep us stuck in the past, rather than serving as an incentive and guide to form more productive relationship patterns for the future. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| a3f0655 | Nu esti o persoana mai putin iubitoare sau incompleta, daca iti raman anumite lucruri pe care nu le poti ierta si daca iti doresti ca pe anumite persoane sa nu le mai intalnesti vreodata-n viata. Poate ca devii un om mai puternic si mai curajos, daca ai ceva manie reziduala (fie ca provine dintr-o mare tradare, fie din numeroase neplaceri mici) si, in ciuda ei, reusesti sa-ti vezi de viata ta. Mai important ca orice, nu e treaba nimanui - .. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 8e38d90 | Many of the stories we take to be true or fixed about ourselves can change dramatically when we have conversations with people who make our world larger, not smaller. By doing our part to develop rather than diminish our voice, we can: - Create a more accurate and complex picture of ourselves and another person. - Speak with honor and personal integrity even when the other person behaves badly. - Strengthen our capacity for creativity, wis.. | creativity integrity intimacy love strength voice | Harriet Lerner Ph.D. | |

| 3510072 | Robin had taken refuge in the bathroom before Matthew could realize she was hyperventilating again. Sitting on the bathroom floor, she had recourse to the technique she had learned in therapy, cognitive restructuring, which sought to identify the automatic thoughts of pursuit, pain and danger that sprang into her mind given certain triggers.

| 37b2f4d | This linking of bullying to mental illness and the idea that it causes 'life-long damage' really concerns me. I fear it is the anti-bullying industry that is the real threat to young people's state of mind. Rather than reassure, it adamantly stresses, indeed exaggerates, the harmful effects of bullying. Such scaremongering is impacting on young people's coping mechanisms and possibly exacerbating the problem. As such, it actually contribute.. | Claire Fox |
