I was participating in a group study and the subject of “difficult” people came up.  Every one agreed that the problem seemed to have few real, long-term answers, that no matter what you tried with these annoying behaviors, the “fix”  renders itself temporary at best. The group leader was a former thug (more…)

In fact, those very things may create the greatest dissonance for creating anxiety of mind.
