Some people hold onto grudges for years.  They allow bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness to keep them trapped.  This podcast goes into the unresolved emotional pain and a thorough breakdown of how hurt people hurt people.  An additional layer unpacked in this podcast is the reality that not only do hurt people hurt people, but hurt people control people.  

Included is a five-point plan to helping your teenagers deal with grudges and bitterness held against them.

Some people are very difficult to work with.  Naturally, we try to move our children around these people.  This is impossible.  It is better to equip ourselves and our teenagers with the ability to work with difficult people.

Living a fearless life involves going after fears in your life.  In this podcast, Dr. van Ingen discusses phobic fears (i.e. dogs and enclosed spaces), nasty fears and the fear-control sequence (i.e. acting out of that fear with pay back, grudges, bitterness and resentment), and cognitive fears (i.e. irrational thoughts).  Pursuing a defining moment is also discussed including a 4-R Approach.

Here is a family dinner conversation.  Parents should routinely talk to their children about what is worthy of crying and what is not worthy of crying.  

If you scrape your leg, is that worthy of crying?  Yes.

If you are told that you can't have candy, is that worthy of crying?  No.  

Let's establish that there are sometimes when we don't validate feelings.  

"Gaslighting" is the latest term in pop culture psychology.  I've actually heard the term for 40 people (yes, I took a tally) over the last 3 weeks.  Is this going on in your parenting or is this yet another psychological concept that is being overly used like everything else.  

Dr. Dan van Ingen is a clinical and sport psychologist in Sarasota, FL.  He is an author, national speaker, anxiety specialist and parenting doctor.  He started a sky diving therapy and resilience group for those who want to apply radical change to fears and anxiety.  He's been featured on ABC and is author of You Are Your Child's Best Psychologist.
