we so enjoy Terri Cole

🙃

None of her podcasts are uploaded here or on spotify:( Hit play and nothing happens.

Love this!

love this overview of defense mechanisms. Even when we are intellectually aware of these, it's easy to forget to look for them in our own behavior.

This was so timely for me. I have a 94 year old mother whose health is rapidly failing. I live an hour and a half away from her, my brother lives 5 minutes from her yet I am the one who takes care of all her financial needs, deals with care givers and doctors, goes each week to buy her groceries, take her out to lunch and set up her medications. I have been doing this for 7 years since my father passed away. Even with therapy I am anxious most of the time. My brother refuses to discuss anything with me. When my mom fell last week the place she lives was unable to reach my brother as was I. So at 10 pm I was driving an hour and a half because someone needed to be at the hospital with my mom. I get so frustrated and angry I don’t know what to do. Last year I quit my job because the stress of working and caring for all my mothers needs became overwhelming. What do you do when the other person refuses to step up? And granted my mother is a total drama queen and not the easiest person to deal with. I understand his need to limit contact with her toxic personality but where does that leave me?

Fantastic topic and presentation. Very clear. Very well explained.

love this
