Managing A Sensory Mismatch
If I’d heard it once, I’d heard it 100 times. Same record. Same song. Sure the jacket covers, labels, and package shapes were different, but basically it was the same old refrain: “I’m not in love with my partner any more.” By way of introduction, the pair had blurted out, “We’ve decided to split up, and we want to figure out why we didn’t stay in love so we don’t make the same mistakes with our next partners.”

Manage Holiday Stress Successfully
Five Gifts and a Lagniappe Arlene R. Taylor PhD www.arlenetaylor.org “I absolutely hate holidays—everything goes into fast forward!” The young woman grimaced, gestured dramatically, and disappeared into the break room. Further down the hallway, her colleague burst through his office doorway, forehead furrowed, body radiating coiled tension. He paused in midstride long enough to mutter, “Holidays!

Can You Afford To Be Unforgiving?
©Arlene R. Taylor PhD One of the secret causes of stress plaguing millions ofrnpeople is unforgiveness. ï¾Don Colbert MD The woman made her way slowly and painfully across my office and into a chair.

Busting Bad Behaviors
©Arlene R. Taylor PhD Entering the lobby, I walked right into high drama. The principle actor was a slim young woman who was fairly vibrating with emotion. “That’s insulting, demeaning, sexist, racist, and you WILL pay for it!” she screamed, her long pony tail racing in circles.

Do You LIKE Growing Older?
©Arlene R. Taylor PhD “Do you like growing older?” The emphasis was definitely on the word like. Momentarily startled, I turned toward the questioner, a program participant at the EduQuest Road Scholar event for which I was the main speaker. The question had been flung in my direction smack-dab in the middle of one of my presentations, so I replied, "Let me ponder that for a while and I'll get back to you." I'd never been asked that specific question before, at least not in so many words, so I have pondered it. A lot. And I've come up with a few musings.
