Comments for Progressive Impact -- Douglas LaBier http://www.progressiveimpact.org Building Psychological Health And Global Responsibility In Today's Interconnected World Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:03:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Comment on Obama’s Handling Of The Gulf Disaster: The Psychology Behind The Criticisms by Tom http://www.progressiveimpact.org/obamas-handling-of-the-gulf-disaster-the-psychology-behind-the-criticisms/comment-page-1/#comment-81 Tom Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:03:39 +0000 http://www.progressiveimpact.org/?p=379#comment-81 Well-written and insightful piece. Ironic that the President's cool, rational approach (his singular strength) to the spill, which the author argues, correctly I believe, is a realistic and ultimately correct approach to the crisis, is clashing with the nation's psychological desire for emotional reassurance (his recurring blind spot) at a time of war and intense economic stress. In the end, the President will be judged by results (whether in his control or not). For now, he can only hope that one dimension of the "Big Daddy" emotional response the nation seeks includes a calm and rational hand on the ship of state in stormy waters.

Yes, although some of these qualities may already be present in children, it is when we consciously choose to engage with others in a way that emphasizes these qualities, that our relationships shift into this new adult model. As a marital coach and leader of Intimacy Retreats for couples, I especially appreciate the notion of "service to something greater than yourself." Oh - I would also add "play" to the list, in the sense of remembering not to take ourselves too seriously! >>>collaboration, connection, transparency, flexibility, non-defensiveness, and service to something larger than yourself.
