How To Deal With Negativity - a podcast by Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.

It happens.  In the middle of a marriage crisis, you can find yourself surrounded by negativity.  A spouse negative about the marriage.  Friends and family negative about your efforts to save your marriage.  You negative, well, about everything you are doing (it is easy to slip into self-blame and self-doubt).



Negativity comes from several sources:  fear, protectiveness, anger, resentment, lack of understanding, and lack of clarity.



Regardless of the source, you may find yourself reacting poorly -- negatively impacting your capacity to save and improve your marriage.



Is there another alternative?



You bet there is!



I would suggest four ways to respond that can change the outcome.  Listen to the podcast for the four ways you can respond differently to the negativity, making sure that you don't catch it yourself.  Listen below.
