Why Complaining Doesn't Work

from The Positive Mind · host Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC, Niseema Dyan Diemer LMT

Why Complaining Doesn't Work What's really going on when a person is complaining? Hosts take the hour to discuss the hidden motives of complaining and look at the effective and ineffective ways of griping. At what point do complainers look for attention or seek connection on a deep level but haven't found a way to get there? We can listen to the complainers in our lives by asking, "What is this person really feeling, and what is it that they really want?" To move beyond complaining requires courage and vulnerability. ______________________________________________________ For more information or support contact Kevin or Niseema at [email protected], or call 212-757-4488.
