ISSUES

Individuals:
 
ANGER
A re-active habit that is very hard to stop or "manage". Here you can learn to apply new thinking strategies to the circumstances that frustrate you. Anger is decreased and often avoided.
LONELINESS
As you learn better choices to approach others, you cut back on frustrating efforts to have others come to you. You attach and meet your need for belonging.
LOW SELF-ESTEEM
Pickup an easy to learn strategy which will allow you to literally "gain control" to raise your self image.
DEPRESSION
As you learn to become more productive in meeting your needs, good feelings are created which replace your sad feelings.

PRODUCTIVE THINKING
Couples:  
 

TRUST –
Trust is mandatory to any meaningful relationship. Pick up easier ways to create your own personal security. This more productive focus will cause you to be much less disturbed by your partner's behavior.
COMMUNICATION–
Frequently, in a marriage you don't have communication problems with friends or family. You have problems communicating with each other. As you learn to think about each other differently, you choose to communicate differently. And, communication very often becomes much more pleasant.
COMMITMENT
Commitment, being best friends and passion are required for a successful marriage or relationship. The happiness you feel after applying productive thinking will motivate you to commit to these new thought-action habits.
INTIMACY–
The highest, most sensitive form of communication between individuals. Intimacy is a state of passion which you can create when you learn how to control for your personal happiness while in a relationship.
