The first three sections, in this book on relationships, focuses on the individual. This is because a relationship is built up of individuals. If a relationship is going to be healthy, the individuals in the relationship need to be healthy. You can’t have a healthy relationship built on two unhealthy individuals. The fourth section is about how interactions of two individuals work in a relationship. The section is focused on interactions, because that is what forms a relationship. If you want your relationship to be healthy, make your interactions healthy. Interactions such as yelling, screaming, coercion, name calling, or manipulation, create unhealthy relationships. Interactions such as forgiving, loving, complimenting, praising, helping, sharing, playing, create healthy relationships. The last 48 pages of the book are pages dedicated to making notes. These pages are for couples to use in therapy when they are making notes during a session.
Guiding Principles for Children: 2nd Ed
The parent, who has unresolved issues, knows not to “act out” in the workplace, but may “act out” in the home. This is because the workplace environment will not permit that form of expression, where the home often will. The home environment can be a place where the child has to learn to express discomfort verbally instead of “acting out” physically. This is accomplished through creating an environment where positive interaction is fostered and negative interaction is discouraged. A child’s “acting out,” is usually a normal response in an unintentionally abnormal environment. As the environment changes, the child’s form of expression will also change to adapt to the environment. Aggressive, manipulative, and defiant forms of expression will be influenced to adapt to mutually respective conversation.
Johnson Therapy Workbooks: Doing Chores
The easiest part of behavior change is the beginning, when we formulate a vision and a plan. The hardest part of behavior change is following through with the plan, day after day, after day, after day. Often, we as people, drift away from the slow process of change. Not because we are lazy, but because we become disinterested. We find other more exciting things to occupy our time. If we know we are going to be held accountable for our actions, it is easier to stay on track when the methodical becomes mundane. This book was written with the intent that it will be used to assist the reader in being accountable for their actions. This requires that the reader have an accountability partner. Accountability is maintained with daily, weekly, and monthly follow up. People only act when they feel motivated. This motivation either comes from within or without. This book assists the reader and the accountability partner in developing a foundation of internal and external motivators. People always have excuses when they do not want to complete a task. This book assists the reader in identifying excuses and making a plan to deal with them. The book provides the format necessary to hold the reader accountable.
