Greetings!, In the spirit of Halloween this newsletter is devoted to emotional vampires. Not other people this time--but about if we can become one ourselves! I find it useful to regularly assess how we're relating to others--specifically if our behavior may be draining. In my book EMOTIONAL FREEDOM I discuss different types of draining people--the chronic talker, the narcissist, the drama queen and more. But inevitably, we've all got a bit of vampire in us, especially when we're stressed. So, give yourself a break. It's admirable to admit, "I think I'm draining my spouse. What can I do?" You can't begin to make changes in your life without this type of honesty. The solution is to own up to where you may be draining -- then change the behavior. As a psychiatrist, I believe it's those with real power who can step up first to surrender their ego, admit shortcomings, all in service of loving communication.
