Robert Leahy, Ph.D.: What Not to Say When Your Loved One Is Upset
Imagine that the person that you love is upset about something -- her job, his health, her feelings about the relationship. Let's say she is worried about her health, worried that she might have some terrible illness -- and that even if you think she is going to be OK, you want to comfort her, make her feel better. What are the worst ways and best ways of talking?Imagine this: It’s 1976 and you’re dating a man named Rick. He has a mustache and owns at least one reindeer sweater. High off of reading The Easter Parade and The Great Santini , he’s all pumped up to write the next great American novel but, to make ends meet, he’s currently working for Hallmark.
