The Late Show

Never a great time but should it be a confrontation? Know what you intend, what you will do and where you will take things next.

Gaining closure comes from accepting where you are, how things are and how you got where you are.

Having a bad run in relationships or struggling to find common ground or happiness in your marriage? Maybe you are part of the problem or the common ground is the problem.

Gaslighting isn't a casual experience in an argument. Catasrophizing is exagerrating to get attention. If you want to build solid relationships know what these two things are and reframe how you think and speak to partners and those who care about you. Narcissists are rarer than you realize if social media is dictating your attitude.

Communication is a big issue in many relationships, today Dorothy has a look at why and what you can do about it.

If you haven't had the conversation, you haven't got the agreement, contract or intention. Take that to the bank.

Toxicity, ex's cheaters and more, seeing the signs and knowing what to do.

These can ruin any relationship, we notice them in others but maybe don't respond effectively at the outset to ensure they aren't used on us or by us. Recognizing them in yourself is vital if you want healthy relationships.

What is appropriate and what is not?

A lot of feelings come into play when a relationship breaks down. When kids are involved it requires more adulting and less ME..

When life changes so do relationships, are you ready to build a trust bond or are you still seeking the excitement of beginnings.

There are good reasons to manage social media connections when it comes to exes and ex friends or even family.

Misunderstanding relationship dynamics can lead to a world of pain. Trusting yourself comes with experience and knowing what you are getting yourself into and consciously agreeing to the terms.

misconceptions over what love is tends to cause a lot of problems. Saying i love you means nothing at all.. how do you show it and how do you receive it?

There are two sides to every equation, if you aren't the narc, who are you in that relationship? To spot a narc you need a clear perspective

When do you need to explore forgiving yourself? It really isn't about you being a victim. Self Forgiveness starts with recognizing your own behaviours and how they might impact others via knowing how you would feel.

it is a bit easy to get caught up in a transgression or target an area of dissatisfaction, but before something difficult happens there are a number of warnings that indicate the other person may not be caring about you.

When someone asks to be forgiven they are asking for a free pass. There is a difference between offering forgiveness, to being asked for it.

Forgiveness of past events isn't a free pass, it is understanding that being angry or victimized is of no benefit when trying to live a peaceful life.

there are people who want what they want at your expense but how do you recognize them and what is your role in being decieved?

how you manage rejections small and large determines how resilient you are, how long it takes you to accept current circumstances and how capable you are of having healthy relationships in any area of your life.

when you lie to yourself it is reflected in everything you do, your attitude and your outcomes. Call it Karma if you must but bonding with others and making good choices can only happen when you are honest about your motivations.

Who gets to do the heavy lifting after a betrayal?

All or nothing isn't a working model in relationships making changes in ourselves can bring great rewards over time.

By the time you get to ultimatums the game is already lost.
