Planning Tips for Stress Free Holidays

by

Planning Tips for Stress Free Holidays











(PRWEB) October 12, 2011

A good plan is like a road map and although families facing separation or divorce may be traveling different routes this holiday season, family law attorney Erika Walsh, a partner, at Schiller DuCanto & Fleck, LLP, in Wheaton, Illinois says it is possible to find joy in the holiday season if parents take the time now to plan properly.

To develop that plan a family and divorce law attorney can work with parents, whether separated or in the process of divorce, to arrange for temporary financial support and avoid last minute appearances in family court. Walsh, who is experienced in helping divorcing families develop plans that can reduce the stress often associated with divorce and the holidays, says the greatest benefit for both parents and children is to know what is coming and how the holidays will be celebrated. “Transitions are difficult for everyone, including the children, but a fair plan will allow everyone to take advantage of time together and to make the best of it,” notes Walsh.

In the six years practicing as a family lawyer with the nation’s leading matrimonial law firm, Walsh says her experience has shown her the best way to develop a holiday plan is to:

Be creative and consider new traditions.

Yes, things will be different, she acknowledges. Different is hard but it doesn’t have to be horrible. It’s important to establish a new normal for the family, advises Walsh. The reality is you are divorcing. Once you establish the new normal everyone settles into it and will become comfortable with it, she adds. The plan could call for Mom to get the kids one year for Thanksgiving and for Dad to have them next year. That doesn’t mean you can’t have Thanksgiving with your kids each year, she says. Maybe in alternate years, you have Thanksgiving on Friday instead of Thursday. You still can celebrate and have that family time and create memories. In fact, it can be a bonus for the kids – they get two Thanksgivings. “It’s different and it requires adjustments but change doesn’t have to be bad,” she notes.

Develop a budget.

Because divorce can cause such acrimony sometimes people act badly during divorce proceedings and one spouse may find the credit card is being denied or the checking account is running low. Walsh says the best thing for both parents is to work out a budget well in advance of the holidays so that temporary support issues can be resolved by agreement or by hearing before the crush of the holidays. While gifts are important, the best gift you can give your children is the gift of time and a stress free holiday without escalated conflict.

Pay attention to your emotions.

Resist the urge to get into a tug of war. Oftentimes it’s Christmas morning that causes the greatest power struggle. Seldom is it for the kids’ benefit. It’s more about the ongoing struggle between the parents. “A parent can become so entrenched in their position they don’t realize they contribute to their own acrimony,” Walsh has observed. “If parents can focus on the most important goal for the holiday and manage their emotions, it is better for the family as a whole.”

Focus on finding joy in the holidays.

There is still joy to be had. Making it great for the kids will also make it better for you. When you know in advance your kids will be with their other parent you can make plans for yourself and plan to be with friends and other family members so you are not sitting home alone on Christmas Eve. Knowing in advance can you can fill that void, she adds.

The holidays require adjustment, but change doesn’t have to be bad. Planning empowers you to find the joy in the holiday during and after a divorce, and there’s no reason not to plan,” adds Walsh. Christmas falls on the same day each year yet it is not uncommon to see family lawyers and their clients appearing before a judge on December 23rd. “This creates a great deal of emotional turmoil that can be easily prevented if the parents are proactive and develop a plan in advance of the holidays,” she concludes. The earlier the better and now is not too late.

Erika N. Walsh is a family and divorce law attorney experienced in all aspects of family law, including child custody and visitation, child support, divorce, maintenance, property characterization and division, and prenuptial agreements in complex family law matters. She can be reached at (630) 784-7412 or ewalsh(at)sdflaw(dot)com. Schiller, DuCanto & Fleck has been recognized as the largest matrimonial law practice in the United States. Its lawyers counsel clients with a team approach to achieve optimum results for individuals who face marriage dissolutions and other family transitions.

Dr. Bonnie Explains How to Save a Relationship with Only One Person in Couples/Relationship Therapy and Why It Cannot Be “Individual” Therapy

by

Dr. Bonnie Explains How to Save a Relationship with Only One Person in Couples/Relationship Therapy and Why It Cannot Be “Individual” Therapy











New York, NY (PRWEB) March 13, 2012

An article in the Wall Street Journal asks – can a relationship be saved if only one partner participates in therapy? http://on.wsj.com/xnSORw Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil believes that the answer to this question is “yes,” provided the individual who participates in therapy gets the right kind of help, and assuming that the non-participatory parter is committed to staying in the relationship.

“Even if one person is coming to therapy to work on a relationship, that person needs to be given couples’ counseling, not individual counseling” says Dr. Bonnie. She learned from her mentor, Dr. Fogerty, that the quickest way to break up a marriage already on the rocks, is to focus on individual therapy and give them two separate therapists – this gives people a place to run and hide, whereas couples therapy does not provide a place to hide! Couples should have the same therapist, and it should be a couples therapist.

Couples therapy with only one person is extremely effective even if a couple is struggling with adultery and the only one who will participate in therapy is the betrayed, or with dealing with other addictions such as financial infidelity or alcoholism. It is a wonderful way to help a dysfunctional, addictive partner to change indirectly by the most motivated person coming to see Dr. Bonnie. Also, for couples that are having sexual difficulty, this can clear up just by having the affected partner participate in therapy without the other person.

Typically, women are the ones coming by themselves to therapy – Dr. Fogerty coined the term “distancers” to describe the typical behavior of men. Eighty percent of men are distancers, and 80 percent of women are pursuers. Dr. Bonnie recognizes that women are often the protectors of the relationship, the guardian of connection (which Dr. Bonnie explains in Make Up Don’t Break Up), and as such she can lead the way for the man to be connected to instruction indirectly by the woman going to therapy.

Dr. Bonnie describes this further in her book, Make Up Don’t Break Up, but it has helped form how she works with couples when only one person seeks therapy. “Couples therapy for individuals works because if you change one person, the other person will change too. I often work with one person in a couple’s therapy systems approach – to teach the skills, tools, actions, and how to change the dynamic and behaviors between the couple.”

In Dr. Bonnie’s experience, the other partner often ends up coming, or at least communicating with her over the phone. “It’s important to keep the uninvolved party in the loop, to check in with them, make them a part of the process and I do this a variety of ways,” she says. She may call them, or give homework to both people even if one person won’t attend therapy.

A study mentioned in the Wall Street Journal article, conducted by Howard Markman, found that women learn relationship skills more easily than men and were better at explaining and teaching to partners. Dr. Bonnie has found this to be true in her practice. “Women are more comfortable talking about feelings that come up in therapy,” she says, “and I always explain to the woman that she has to make the man feel safe so he can open up about his emotions in a safe way; so the woman doesn’t unconsciously shut the man up when he’s trying to open up.”

Understanding that men tend to be distancers can help women learn how to deal with marital problems – men often won’t explain what’s wrong because they don’t even know, says Dr. Bonnie. Women shouldn’t pressure their husband to come to therapy but rather be patient, and treat the therapy more like an educational or learning exercise – hence the homework requirements – so the man feels like he has a part.

If done this way, even if a woman starts coming to therapy alone, her husband will usually come around in time. Dr. Bonnie describes one such distancer with whom she communicated via phone for six months while his wife came to therapy: After a phone session Dr. Bonnie said “You’re graduated from therapy” and he said, “therapy, that was therapy? It didn’t feel like it, it just felt like you were teaching me something.”

In short, Dr. Bonnie knows that couples’ therapy can be done with just one person and marriages can be saved if only one person attends. To that end an unpublished University of Denver study sheds some light. It followed 300 long-term couples and found that one month after receiving relationship skills training – even as individuals – relationships improved as much as people who had the training as a couple. One-and-a-half years after training, couples who had only the woman attending alone were happier than couples where the man attended alone.

“The critical thing is that both people have to realize they had a part in the problem,” clarifies Dr. Bonnie, “it’s never one person’s fault – it’s both peoples’ fault, or nobody’s fault.” Both have to see the part that they play and begin walking in the other person’s shoes.

Says Dr. Bonnie, “Things will change even if only one person changes, the other person will have to change – they’ll hear my voice whispering in their ear, even when they’re not in therapy.” But she reminds, this isn’t a contest of who can change fastest, “change at the same time as your partner to maintain relationship stability.” Remember – if you want to complain about how fast your partner is changing or not changing, don’t! Look at how fast you’re changing – you’ll be changing at the same rate at which your partner changes (ie, not very fast!)

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

Whitney Houston’s sudden death came as a shock to the world. As her music and beautiful voice filled the airwaves in subsequent days, many reflected on the life that was and the life that could have been if right choices had been made.

This book pulls out the positive lessons that young people can learn from both the triumphant and tragic sides of Whitney Houston’s life.

The Whytes write, “This book was not written to recount Whitney Houston’s life. It is our hope that people closer to her will write a loving memoir of her life. We believe things like this happen for a reason, and the purpose of this book is to provide positive takeaways from Whitney Houston’s life, from the good and the bad, so that young people, especially young women, can put her life and death in perspective and learn how to get to the top and stay at the top.”

The book is 110 pages and is an easy read for all people who are looking for guidance and direction in their own lives.

Daniel Whyte III has spoken in meetings across the United States and in twenty-three foreign countries. He is the author of twenty books. He is also the president of Gospel Light Society, a worldwide evangelistic ministry that reaches thousands with the Gospel each week, as well as president of Torch Ministries International, a Christian literature ministry which publishes a monthly magazine called The Torch Leader.

He has been married to the former Meriqua Althea Dixon, of Christiana, Jamaica for twenty-five years. God has blessed their union with seven children.

Meriqua Whyte is the wife of national bestselling author, Daniel Whyte III. They have been married for twenty-five years. Mrs. Whyte is a stay-at-home mom who homeschools their seven children. She holds a Bachelors degree in Christian Education from Bethany Divinity College in Dothan, Alabama. She is the author and/or co-author of eight books.

Her passion is helping families and children mature and flourish in life. Her favorite verse is Matthew 6:33.

Better Workplace and Personal Relationships Start in the Unconscious Mind, Says Jungian Analyst

by

Better Workplace and Personal Relationships Start in the Unconscious Mind, Says Jungian Analyst












Louisville, KY (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

To help career coaches, therapists, and others make teams and other workplace and personal relationships more productive and enjoyable—and less stressful—Type Resources will present a workshop with prominent Jungian Analyst Dr. John Beebe, M.D. on May 18-19, 2012.

Based on Dr. Beebe’s eight function-attitude, eight archetype model, the workshop is titled “The Battle Continues…Winning the War Within” to emphasize the inner—and usually unconscious—processes that create conflict and personality clashes.

Grounded in the depth psychology of Carl Jung, Dr. Beebe’s model is intended to provide a deeper, clearer, more detailed way of understanding and dealing with personality types and their interactions than the older Myers-Briggs (MBTI) system, which has until recently been more familiar outside Jungian circles.

“We need to figure out which part of us is engaging what part of another person,” says Dr. Beebe. “Only then can we understand the interactions that don’t work for us, and get clearer how to use our function-attitudes more wisely.”

“Most of what goes on in interpersonal dynamics is unconscious,” adds Bob McAlpine, president of Type Resources. “We tend to assume that others react to what we say and do the way we would, which isn’t necessarily the case. As a result, the messages we intend to send—both overtly and by implication—often differ from what’s received. That can lead to misdirection, hurt feelings, resentments…not what you want in the workplace or your personal life.”

According to McAlpine, who will be co-facilitating the workshop, “It’s ideal for career and life coaches, psychotherapists, team facilitators and business and organizational managers, but anyone can benefit from it. The principles work in any relationship, from marriages and friendships to the largest enterprises.”

David Hughey, a former newspaper publisher and the founder and president of the Transition Leading consultancy in Durham, NC, says he has been impressed with Beebe’s approach. “It’s helped me help my clients—both organizations and individuals—to work more effectively and enjoyably. I expect this workshop to be as outstanding as the previous ones.”

Type Resources will offer early registrations at a discounted rate of $ 495 through February 29, after which the price will rise to $ 695. The firm has also partnered with the Breckinridge Inn in Louisville, where the event will be held, to offer rooms at a special rate of $ 69 per night. Registration instructions and additional details can be found on the Type Resources website (type-resources.com).

About John Beebe:

John Beebe, M.D., is a Jungian analyst and a former president of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. He is the founding editor of The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal and was the first American co-editor of the London-based Journal of Analytical Psychology. Dr. Beebe has written several articles and book chapters regarding Jungian theory and is the author of Integrity in Depth, a book about the nature and development of integrity.

Luce at the InterContinental San Francisco and the California Culinary Academy Announce Finalists for “Luce’s Culinary Clash”

by

Luce at the InterContinental San Francisco and the California Culinary Academy Announce Finalists for “Luce’s Culinary Clash”










San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

Luce at the InterContinental San Francisco and the California Culinary Academy (CCA) announce the top five student finalists in Luce’s Culinary Clash program, one of the school’s largest cooking competitions and scholarship efforts to date. Numerous students submitted three-course menus with corresponding recipes for the opportunity to cook with Luce’s Michelin-starred Chef de Cuisine Daniel Corey, a CCA alum. Five CCA students have been selected to showcase their menu at Luce on a designated night starting on Monday, February 27, 2012. The students’ menus will be judged by a panel of hotel executives, local personalities and food writers in addition to restaurant guests.

The top three students will receive cash prizes and the first place winner will also be invited to cook with Chef Corey at the prestigious James Beard House in April 2012. A portion of proceeds from each menu sold during the five dinners will go to the California Culinary Academy Scholarship Fund.

The three course dinners are offered at $ 40 per person on the following dates with one student featured each night: Monday, February 27, 2012; Sunday, March 4, 2012; Sunday, March 11, 2012; Sunday, March 18, 2012; and Sunday, March 25, 2012. Wine pairing, tax and gratuity are not included. Seating begins at 5:30pm. The top three winners will be announced during a special event at the CCA on Monday, March 26, 2012.

The five CCA finalists competing in Luce’s Culinary Clash and the date their menu will be featured are as follows:

Monday, February 27, 2012: Sinesipho Baduza

Sinesipho Baduza was raised in East London in the province of Eastern Cape, South Africa, where her first job in the food industry was at a small-scale catering operation she ran with her sister while in college. Baduza decided to take some time away from her studies and traveled to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2009, working as a chef on private yachts. It was during this time that she discovered her passion for food. She was inspired to build a firm foundation in the culinary arts and enrolled in the Culinary Arts Associate Degree program at the California Culinary Academy.

Sunday, March 4, 2012: Stephanie Davidovich

Although Stephanie has lived abroad and all over California, she considers San Francisco her hometown. Her inspiration for cooking was sparked at a young age and she credits her mother, who did not do much cooking, as well as her grandmothers with inspiring her to get creative in the kitchen. “I started exploring the kitchen and cooking here and there for my family,” she says. While working simultaneously as a health counselor, 1st grade teacher, and middle school cooking teacher, Davidovich decided to pursue the culinary world in a more formal way. She is currently enrolled in the Culinary Arts Certificate program at the CCA.

Sunday, March 11, 2012: Bruce Pettit

Bruce Pettit was born and raised in Sarasota, Florida and is currently enrolled in the Culinary Arts Certificate program at the CCA. Before beginning to cook on his own, Pettit drew inspiration from Alton Brown’s “Good Eats” program. “I watched his show for years before I ever cooked anything, and I still love his way of thinking about cooking and food.” Pettit slowly started to cook for family and friends and enjoyed the experience so much that he decided to attend culinary school. When he is not in class, Pettit is experimenting in his home kitchen, making all kinds of ingredients from scratch including soda syrups, coconut milk and curry powder.

Sunday, March 18, 2012: Ashley Gates

A native of Thousand Oaks, California, Ashley Gates comes from a family that loved to cook. While her career path led her to work at Apple, Inc., she decided to pursue her passion for cooking after four years with the company. “When I am in the kitchen and making food for family or guests, I know that I am doing something that brings people together and makes them happy. That alone gives me more satisfaction than eating.” Gates is currently enrolled in the Culinary Arts Certificate program at the CCA.

Sunday, March 25, 2012: Jessica Curtis

A California native, Jessica Curtis grew up in Menlo Park, holding jobs that fit with her interests – the outdoors, skiing and food. With most of Curtis’ family working in the food, wine, and beer industry, it seemed only natural that she would pursue the same direction.
