La sindrome del "super-genitore" emerge quando la tua dedizione e le attenzione verso i tuoi figli diventano eccessive, rischiando di farti sentire vittima di questo incessante impegno, spesso poco riconosciuto. È importante comprendere e correggere questo atteggiamento non solo per il benessere dei tuoi figli, ma anche per preservare il tuo equilibrio e la tua serenità. Secondo quanto descritto dalla docente universitaria Suzanne Degges-White su Psychology Today. Come genitore devoto, forte, efficiente e generoso, potresti talvolta percepire i tuoi sforzi come un sacrificio, poiché i tuoi figli potrebbero non riconoscerne completamente il valore. Nei capitoli di questo video, identificheremo le emozioni e le dinamiche proprie della sindrome del Super Genitore e le tratterremo con i fiori di Bach più adatti. Ti ricordo che il benessere della madre è essenziale per garantire un ambiente sano per i figli, e per questo è importante trovare un equilibrio tra l'attenzione dedicata ai bambini e la cura di te stessa e che la crescita personale è sicuramente uno dei metodi validi per trovare il tuo spazio nel mondo. Un caro saluto da Max. ========== ✅ RISORSE Piccolo manuale di Crescita Personale con i Fiori di Bach: https://ifioridibach.com/manuale-crescita-fiori-di-bach/ Libro Trasforma il tuo Albero Genealogico con i Fiori di Bach: https://costellazionifloreali.com/offerta-riservata-libro/ ️ Webinar del mese: https://webinardelmese.com/ Scopri che relazione hai con tua madre: https://www.nonreggomiamadre.com/ Il tuo bambino interiore giace inascoltato?

Who do you count as your friends? From our BFF to a work mate, it's good to have someone to chew the fat with or offer comfort and support. But when it comes to friendship, is it more important to have quantity or quality?你认为谁是你的朋友?从我们的 BFF 到工作伙伴,有人一起咀嚼脂肪或提供安慰和支持是件好事。但是说到友谊,是数量重要还是质量重要?The recent isolation we have endured due to the coronavirus pandemic has made some of us question our friendships. We've fallen out of touch with friends and acquaintances, and it may feel awkward, but do we actually have to rekindle every relationship we once had? It might be time to take stock and think about who you kept in touch with, who you missed talking to, and who you didn't. In short, maybe it's time to reset your list of real mates.由于冠状病毒大流行,我们最近所忍受的孤立让我们中的一些人质疑我们的友谊。我们已经与朋友和熟人失去联系,这可能会让人感到尴尬,但我们真的必须重新点燃我们曾经拥有的每一种关系吗?可能是时候盘点一下,想想你和谁保持联系,你错过了和谁交谈,以及你没有和谁交谈。简而言之,也许是时候重新设置您的真正朋友名单了。There's no obligation to stay friends, and writing for BBC Worklife, Bryan Lufkin says: “While people have known for years that friendships are unquestionably good for your health, experts say it's only natural for acquaintances and even friends to fall by the wayside as time goes on – and it's nothing to feel guilty about.”没有义务保持朋友关系,Bryan Lufkin 为 BBC Worklife 撰稿说:“虽然多年来人们都知道友谊无疑对您的健康有益,但专家表示,熟人甚至朋友随着时间的推移会自然而然地放弃继续——这没什么好内疚的。”Of course, it can be hard to choose who's in your friendship circle. This is what Suzanne Degges-White, professor of counselling at Northern Illinois University, calls our ‘friendscape'. She says, “in life, as we go through certain stages and ages, our attention shifts, and we want to be around people who are like us.”当然,很难选择朋友圈里的人。这就是北伊利诺伊大学咨询学教授 Suzanne Degges-White 所说的我们的“朋友圈”。她说,“在生活中,当我们经历某些阶段和年龄时,我们的注意力会发生变化,我们希望和和我们一样的人在一起。”So, changing friends is normal, but we still need those special pals who've known us long term. These are friendships we invest time in. According to Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford, these are your inner circle of friends – your “shoulders to cry on” – and you have to see them at least once a week to keep them in that circle. He adds that the friends that do drift are mostly “friendships of convenience”. But the advice for maintaining a good friendship is to share how you feel with someone you trust – this can help strengthen your friendship as well as giving you both a chance to support each other.所以,换朋友很正常,但我们仍然需要那些认识我们很久的特别的朋友。这些是我们投入时间建立的友谊。牛津大学进化心理学教授罗宾·邓巴 (Robin Dunbar) 表示,这些是你内心的朋友圈——你的“哭泣的肩膀”——你必须至少与他们见面一次一周让他们留在那个圈子里。他补充说,随波逐流的朋友大多是“权宜之交”。但维持良好友谊的建议是与您信任的人分享您的感受——这有助于加强你们的友谊,并让你们有机会互相支持。词汇表BFF (best friend forever) 最好的朋友work mate 同事,工友chew the fat 闲聊comfort 安慰friendship 友谊out of touch 不常联系,疏远acquaintance 泛泛之交,相识的人rekindle 重新燃起(一段关系、感情)relationship 关系take stock 反思,仔细考虑mate 伙伴,朋友fall by the wayside 中途放弃,不再熟络friendship circle 交友圈friendscape 朋友圈pal 好友inner circle 核心(朋友)圈a shoulder to cry on 可以倾诉的对象drift 渐渐疏远friendship of convenience 由于便利而结成的友谊strengthen 增强,巩固

Welcome to part two of our discussion on the poison that is Narcissism. If you haven't listened to last week's episode, we would love for you to take a listen as we discussed The Hulu documentary – The Housewife & The Hustler about Tom Girardi & his wife Erika Girardi…aka…Erika Jayne: Only a true narcissist would think first about the admiration, praise and fame before thinking twice about the crimes they're committing against another person. How do you spot a Narcissit!! Here are some of the signs you're dealing with a narcissist – how to spot them. Two faced Blames others for failures Acts different in public vs. private Unreliable Superior attitude Lives in a fantasy world Distorts the truth or facts to suit own agenda Only emotionally available when they want something Lacks sympathy for others Controlling Provokes people then blames them for the fight Can not admit to mistakes Creates Confusion Financial Abuse Emotional Abuse No Remorse Violates Boundaries Not Accountable Obsessed with Looks Energy Vampires Smear Campaign Controlling Posessiveness Excessive Need for Validation 9 Signs you are married to a narcissist – according to Psycom.net #1: You Feel Isolated Drifting apart from some friends after a big life change (marriage! babies!) happens to everyone, but if your life is now rife with severed ties, it's time to pause and reassess. “After marriage, narcissists often isolate their spouses from their friends through a slow and methodical process,” says Cristina Dorazio, Ph.D., a psychologist who provides both individual and couples therapy in New York City. (Bad-mouthing others is a very common narcissistic behavior, notes research in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.) “They can be very good at this, even making you start to question why you were ever friends in the first place,” says Dorazio. This is especially true for friends who are “on to” your narcissist spouse's behavior. #2: You're Being Gaslighted Why can't you take a joke? I never said that! Why are you always so angry? You're being paranoid. Why can't you let go of the past? No one will ever love you like I do. #3: Praise Looks Like This After the I Dos, however, that often shifts dramatically. Now, the compliments may only arrive when you are in the company of others. “This allows the narcissist to look like a great husband in front of other people and contradicts any complaints you might share about him later,” says Dorazio. Another flattery twist: While compliments directed to you might fizzle, a narcissist might instead lay it on thick to others in your orbit. “They do this to feed your insecurity,” says Dorazio. #4: It Feels Like Your Partner Is Trying To Make You Jealous Beyond praising others, a narcissist may talk glowingly about an ex or flirt with someone right in front of you. This is no accident or innocent misstep, but a strategic move designed to make you feel jealous. Beyond stoking your own insecurity, researchers note that narcissists do this in order to wield control and/or to buoy their self-esteem. #5: There's This Jealousy, Too Jealousy is not an uncommon reaction when a baby joins a narcissist's family, says Suzanne Degges-White, Ph.D., professor and chair of the department of counseling and higher education at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. “Narcissistic partners can become resentful of the time you invest in childcare, so he might begin to insist that you focus more attention on the marriage than the child.” This, however, is not universal. Some narcissists, in fact, dramatically shift their focus solely on the baby. “These narcissists may see the child as an extension of themselves, so they co-opt the child, leaving you on the sidelines in terms of attention and family involvement,” says Degges-White. #6: Your Parenting Skills Are Criticized “Narcissists often blame any perceived ‘bad' behavior of their children on their spouse's lack of parenting skills,” says Dorazio. Adding insult to injury, narcissists are often not as involved as their spouse in raising children in the first place—and they often use their career as an excuse to bow out of responsibilities. “In fact, if the narcissistic husband is the sole provider or earns more money in the marriage, they'll often use that as a counterargument to not taking care of the children,” says Dorazio. #7: They “Confide” In Your Family Narcissists are, by definition, self-involved folks who lack empathy. So it's no shock that you'd likely turn to your support system to complain and commiserate about this type of behavior. The catch? Knowing very well that you'd likely do this, a narcissist may talk to your family and friends before you get the chance to. “A narcissist may say he's concerned that you're a bit ‘off' lately,” says Dorazio. “Because, if he confides about your problematic behavior first, he takes the heat off himself.” #8: The Signature “Love Bombs” Dwindle When dating, you were likely overwhelmed with signs of adoration, like constant love notes, flower deliveries and surprise gifts. (This is what it feels like to be swept off your feet, you thought!) After marriage, however—poof—it all stops. “You've been conquered through marriage, so courting with ‘love bombs' is no longer needed,” says Dorazio, noting that these extravagant displays can often return, however, but only when your spouse wants something from you. “For example, if you're surprised with a trip, you may be expected to show your gratitude in a very specific way, like dressing a certain way while on the trip or being available for sex whenever your spouse wants,” says Dorazio. #9: They Admit It! A study of more than 2,200 people found it's actually pretty easy to ID narcissists. You simply need to ask them the following: To what extent do you agree with this statement: “I am a narcissist.” And you need to define “narcissist” at the same time, noting that it means egotistical, self-focused and vain. Researchers relayed that the reason this works is that those who are narcissists are almost proud of it. How To Deal With Your Narcissist “Narcissists typically don't perceive their behavior as a problem. Instead, they feel that they're perfectly fine and others have problems,” notes Suzanne Degges-White, Ph.D., professor and chair of the department of counseling and higher education at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. That doesn't mean that there's no hope. Here some tips on wading the treacherous waters. Argue thisNarcissist cannot be wrong, making arguing with them close to impossible. “So it's smart to find a way to convince your partner that the ‘right answer' or the ‘right thing to do' was their idea,” says Degges-White. “This way, you can compliment them on what a great idea they had to solve the issue.” Ignore Insults are bait. A narcissist wants you to take them, react to them, and engage in a fight. But if you refuse to play, a fight can't happen. Ask yourself questions.It's likely a good idea to reflect on any unconscious reasons you may have chosen to be with a narcissist. (A therapist is great at helping you navigate this.) Once you start to understand your motivation, you'll have more clarity as to what you need. Foster other healthy relationships.Turn to friends, family, a therapist—any supportive individual who can offer you the respect and sounding board to help with your emotional health.

Everyday Rockstar (0:00:00) Lisa and Richie talk with this week's Everyday Rockstar. You can nominate yourself or someone you know to be featured on the show by sending an email to thelisashow@byu.edu. Sad Social Media Posting (0:07:20) COVID-19 and all of its side-effects have not made 2020 the easiest year for anyone. With hard times falling on nearly everyone and with less opportunities to see others in person, many people have taken to social media to express their sadness to their followers. While complaining about a bad week (or even year) is completely normal, serious issues can arise when these posts are less venting and more like cries for help. So how do we handle things when we come across difficult posts like this? Joining us on the show today is Dr. Lindsey Giller, a clinical psychologist in the Mood Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute, here with us to talk about how to navigate publishing mental health troubles on social media. Narcissism (0:27:24) It's important to love yourself. But some people take self-love a little too far and literally can't think about anyone but themselves. We call them “narcissists.” And although we know what it means to be a narcissist, do we actually know the implications of being one or being around one? To answer this question and help us get rid of our narcissistic tendencies, we've invited Dr. Suzanne Degges-White, a counselor, professor and author, on the show today. Supporting All Your Children (1:00:10) Whether it's for a season or an extended period of time, every family has one child who needs a little more attention than the others. This may be due to a physical or emotional disability, a rough patch with friends, or a hard time in school. While the extra love and affection are sometimes necessary, we can't forget to stay aware of all our other children's needs. To help us know how we can support all of our children despite our family's circumstance, we've invited Dr. Rebecca Schrag Hershberg, a clinical psychologist and the founder of Little House Calls Psychological Services, to share her advice. Making Fall Wreaths (1:28:45) Wherever you lie on the spectrum of decorating, there is no harm in adorning your door with a nice wreath. And today, we wanted to ask Lia Griffith, a master crafter and designer, for her expert advice on how to make our very own fall wreaths.
Lisa and Richie talk with this week's Everyday Rockstar, Lindsey Giller discusses sad social media posts, Suzanne Degges-White explains handling narcissism, Rebecca Schrag-Hershberg teaches how to support all of your kids, Lia Griffith talks about making your own fall wreath.
Trusting Online Reviews (0:00:00) In today's digital world, online reviews are often the ultimate factor in deciding whether you buy a product. Understanding these reviews used to be simple: if it has a hundred five-star reviews, it's reliable; if it has eight reviews and they're all below three stars, you know to look elsewhere. But as more and more people have started using fake reviews to boost their numbers, it's hard to know what to believe what we read online anymore. So how can we know when to trust these reviews? Today we are joined by Saoud Khalifah, the founder of a review-tracking software called “Fakespot”, here with us to talk about recognizing authentic reviews. Excessive Spending (0:22:41) A car payment. Clarinet lessons. Groceries. All things that might be in your budget this month. But, during this time of economic uncertainty, a lot of families are finding that they have to work with a tighter budget. How do we determine “wants” from “needs” and cut out the excessive spending? Here to help us navigate this issue is Liz Frazier, our favorite family financial planner and new Director of Financial Education for Copper—the teenage banking app. COVID-19 Holiday Gatherings (0:38:19) The leaves are beginning to turn and so is the temperature, which can only mean one thing—the holiday season is upon. Before we know it we'll be tricker treating, roasting a turkey, and decking the halls. However, the holidays this year will likely look a little different from those of years past—thus prompting the question, what will the holiday season look with social distancing guidelines remaining in effect? Here to answer this question and give us some tips on planning intentional holiday gatherings is friend of the show, Carrie Ann Rhodes. Allergy Proofing Your House (0:52:48) Does vacuuming send you into a flurry of sneezing? Or maybe it's the cat hair floating in the air. Either way, certain environmental factors in your home are likely responsible for your swollen eyes and runny nose. Luckily, there's things we can do to prevent allergy symptoms before they even start. Here to help us understand what might be causing the sneezing and to allergy-proof our homes is Kenneth Mendez, CEO and President of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The Urban Institute (1:12:50) Out of the many hats we wear as parents, we never really seem to take off the one of “teacher.” We teach our kids the important things like how to walk, talk, and read. We also teach them the menial things, like how to choose the best brand of ice cream at the grocery store. As our kids grow up and enter their teenage years, do you ever find yourself wishing you could teach them more about the real, working world? Well thanks to youth apprenticeship programs, you can! Today, we're talking with Zach Boren from Urban Institute on how your children can learn invaluable lessons and be better prepared for the workforce through such programs. Toxic Friendships (1:27:08) We often hear the term “toxic relationship” and with the more life experience we get, the more we are able to identify these kinds of relationships in our lives. But, it's hard to notice the red flags when we truly care about someone. And if we let them go on for too long, these relationships can be emotionally damaging. To help you identify toxic people in your lives and discuss how you can heal from the damage they cause, we've invited. Suzanne Degges-White, a counselor, professor and author, on the show today to share her expert advice.

Note in the Pocket (0:00:00) Do you remember when you were a kid and clothing style was more important than anything? For children that are homeless or living in poverty, style is not an option but a luxury they can't afford. What you have is what you'll wear. But not having appropriate clothes for school can do more than affect your perceived “coolness” –it can even affect your learning. Luckily, there are organizations working to make sure these children have clothes so they can have an equal chance at succeeding in school as their peers. Today we are joined by Sarah Caldwell, development director for the nonprofit Note in the Pocket, here with us to talk about how they are helping children in their community have proper clothes for school. Zen Your Zoom Meetings (0:18:26) At one point, working from home seemed like a luxury that only a select handful of people could enjoy. Recently, advances in technology have made this luxury a reality for a large percentage of America's working population. However, negotiating a working from home arrangement often includes agreeing to work meetings via video streaming platforms. But for the introverted or camera-shy employee, this can be a nightmare scenario.
