Don't Let Little Things Become Big Things

In this episode we talk about the difference between chronic and acute.  Acute events get all the publicity - these are dramatic and rare occurences where we usually have a story to tell afterwards.  In Nancy's field of dentistry, this is akin to a child getting his front teeth knocked out from a nasty fall.  In Dave's field of engineering, this would be akin to a flood event because floods are rare, dramatic,  and newsworthy.  But the real pain, the real damage, comes from chronic and slow moving degradation, not the rare but dramatic events.  The same holds true for relationships, be they marriages or friendships.  Years can go by and you can find yourself in a place and wonder how they heck you got there?  Listen in as we talk about how this relates to our work, our relationships, and our health.
