I am experiencing conflict with a male house mate/tennant who rents a room in our house. Our relationship deteriorates because he prefers his solitude. He engages in splitting behavior where I become the bad guy in his mind. I react by being passive aggressive. He is eventually asked to leave because of the bad dynamic in the household. This is a case where I need to ask forgiveness for my part in it and to forgive him.
-
Dr. Dale Piper taught the first seven weeks of this course followed by Dr. Jason Neill for the second seven weeks. Dr. Tate taught Professional Orientation. She made Ethics fun.
-
I relate a dream I had the previous evening regarrding forgiving my ex-wife to my therapist. During the session my theapist comments on a statement I made during the session saying that I needed to forgive her. I don't recall making the statement immediately after making it. My unconscious had spoken for me.
