15 GOING ON 16

Thanks to all the listeners of Cleveland's Q104 for supporting me on the air yesterday as I filled in for the traveling Rebecca Wilde. After co-hosting with my husband, the most common feedback I receive is, "You sound so natural together; the conversation really flows." It should - we've been married almost 16 years!

Honest, open communication between spouses is not always easy, but it is certainly attainable. Signs of healthy communication include feeling safe, trusting, empathy, respect, and understanding. Do you laugh easily and often with one another?

If you and your spouse struggle, or have hot topics that you simply cannot discuss, consider couples counseling to help you understand what to do differently. You can book an appointment with me or another counselor through Lakeshore Educational & Counseling Services by calling 800-600-5327.

Take care of yourself!

WAKE UP CALL: 3:30 AM

Hi Everyone!

I'll be co-hosting the Q104 Morning Show again with my husband Thursday May 24th. If you're not a Clevelander, you can listen live on the internet.

Have a relationship story or question? Call in and share it. We'd love to hear what's on your mind!

-Susan

TIME DOES NOT HEAL ALL WOUNDS!

"Just give it some time and you'll feel better." You've heard that saying before, right? Baloney. Time by itself is just time. It matters what you do with it. When it comes to recovering from a breakup, some people move on quickly, but some people choose to stay bitter, angry, and sad for years.

Healthy healing means making healthy choices. For ideas on how to do that, watch my interview from Good Company (video link at bottom of page.)

For more tips on how to recover from a breakup, check out my booklet Building Resiliency: 68 Coping Strategies for Surviving & Thriving During Adversity.

Take care of yourself!

Susan
