Is Your Family Driving You Crazy?

Whether it's the family you grew up in or the family of your own making, they can bring out the best or the worst in you.

• You may be sleeping on opposite sides of the bed from your spouse or not speaking at the dinner table.
• You love your mom but she makes you want to pluck every hair from your head.
• You haven't spoken to your brother in ages.
• Your dad is a distant creature who you'd like to get to know but he seems to be invaded by the TV snatchers. It's a love-hate relationship and it's making you nuts.
• You dread Christmas, Chanuka, Ramadan, Thanksgiving, weddings, funerals or any prepackaged holiday or event that puts you all together with these hooligans.

You're a grown up. But when you get with your family you feel like you are 10 years old again. You fight with your sister in your head. You're mad because you didn't get what you needed growing up.

Your family has an amazing amount of power over you to determine or undermine your happiness. You wish there was some train somewhere out in the universe where you could pull up at the station and say, "Let me off. I want to try this again."

Relationship Rescue Starts Here!

Bring me your brother, dad, sister, mother, wife, husband or teenager (or come without them, because I do family cleanup either way. They don't even have to know that your relationship with them is under re-construction.)

In over 20 years of developing my gifts healing fractured families, I've realized one thing: most of what we do to make each other angry, we do without realizing it. Hardly anyone realizes the power of words, tone of voice, and body language that can drive the people they love crazy.

Lack of Awareness Creates Accidental Escalators

Accidental Escalators are the things you say and do, or just ways of being, that drive the people around you nuts. (So if you have five family members, each one could be doing their own Escalator version. Over a lifetime, it becomes the Accidental Escalators Free-For-All.)

We spend so much time learning to do everything from computers to driving, yet, we spend almost no time learning how to talk with our families so everyone feels loved, supported and cared for.

Learning to Deal with the Family Web

Have you ever watched an insect caught in a spider's web as it struggles to break free? The sticky stuff that caught the bug in the first place just keeps on sticking. The defenseless creature can twist and tug, but the strands of the web are strong. They don't break.

There is something I call the Family Web. The fibers make up an invisible field upon which each family member will be held up if everyone is happy, or will flail against if the family is in dysfunction. If this field is made up of good vibrations, successful people, family harmony, and high self-esteem, chances are you will receive the support you need to live a grand life.

But for too many of us, the web keeps us trapped in unsuccessful relationships and fosters anger, hurt and misunderstandings.

I Teach You the Family Relationship Skill Set

The good news is that there is a simple skill set, which can be learned and it can help you get along so much better. There are a few ways I work with you on really "getting" this skill set; in person, over the phone, group intensives, online (skype) and in workshops.

1.) You come in for one on one meetings, and I'll use my Extraordinary Intuition to help you get inside these crazy folks' heads and put you in charge of settling this unholy situation down.
2.) You bring in anybody you can and if they balk, you come in alone because in truth they are always with you anyways.
3.) Put yourself on my email list and state that you are interested in workshops related to family matters and I will send you information as openings in these groups occur.

You don't have anything to lose, and so much to gain!

Call or email today.
