The fourteenth and final Laundry List item from the Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Family World Service Organization is a tough one:

"Para-alcoholics are reactors rather than actors."

When we take stock of how we respond to a problem that crops up in life, do we react or are we actors?

Here's an example: If you lose your job, do you blame others/yourself, or do you put together a plan on how to get your next job?

In this week's episode, we discuss your toolkit on how to identify and process your emotions and then use healthy skills/activities to help you deal with life's problem.

Life is a journey. Understand why you react to certain situations is important as is learning how to overcome being stuck with unhealthy behaviors. Regulating emotions, processing your feelings, and overcoming your past takes time and practice.

Let's listen and work together.
