Tylor: Looking For LoveWe look for love from a romantic partner. “I need to find someone to complete me” is a common lament [of] single women, and even from men. Yet no one can complete you but YOU! We look for love from friends and family. “I do so much for everyone in my life yet I feel used and taken for granted.” We chase love in many directions yet rarely feel fulfilled.  http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat/2011/01/looking-for-love-in-all-the-wrong-places.html#ixzz404FKARaj Alexyss K.

They have poor insight into their own behaviors and problems, and will do anything to appear normal or exceptional, despite the fact that in reality, they are terribly crippled by their fears, addictions, mental disorders, abuse, neglect and insecurities.(http://lightshouse.org/lights-blog/outcast-scapegoat-or-black-sheep-of-the-dysfunctiona-family#ixzz3yeroO5Ub) Rules and roles in dysfunctional families keep people operating with masks and pretense. Over time this lack of authenticity results in deeply entrenched false beliefs in family members; even after a child is grown these thought patterns might be very difficult to break.(http://www.smokyraincounseling.com/articles/dysfunctional-family-rules-and-roles/) Let's talk about this and more with our guest Dr. Deborah McDonald.

Part IIWhen children are raised with chronic loss, without the psychological or physical protection they need and certainly deserve, it is most natural for them to internalize incredible fear, [confusion, isolation and negativity]. Not receiving the necessary psychological or physical protection equals abandonment. And, living with repeated abandonment experiences creates negative toxic [emotions]. [These emotions arise] from the painful message implied in abandonment: "You are not important. You are not of value." This is the pain from which people need to heal.

Rhetoric: What's Real?There have been riots in our society since its formation…economic riots, religious riots, and ethnic riots. But, the history of race riots in this country outnumbers all of those combined. Why? Why does race cause so much turmoil for our society? Furthermore, why does sustainable positive change elude the outcomes of these riots? Often the zeal of the MOVEMENT fizzles into just another MOMENT for the history books.
