*pouting, pouting, POUTING!!!*

YES--

I'm pouting.

Horribly.....

I don't WANNA, I don't WANNA, I DON'T WANNA!!!

*sigh*

My boss wants me to go to a two day training. The good news is it's within driving distance. The bad news--I've got a personality conflict with the trainer. I know, I know---"Principles BEFORE personalities." Be nice, be nice, BE NICE!

I don't WANNA be nice.
Aggression Replacement Therapy and Functional Family Therapy are 'proven' and 'evidence based' practices.
Only cuz they've been around a while to gather the evidence. (yes--I AM pouting!)

Nothing new under the sun with those two--not that they're not worthy practices. But they don't deal with the whole person.
They change behaviors without addressing the problems.

I'm a whole person kinda gal.
We think, we feel, we act.
If we change how we act, we might like the end results and feel different and begin to think different.
If we change how we think, we'll feel different and potentially act different.

Both true--both work and work well, depending on the personality type that you're working with.
And then there's the underlying, unresolved issues.
What about them?
We can be 'functional' and still be messed up beyond recognition.

And then there's the facilitator.

Yeah, yeah--I know, principles before personalities.
Be nice, be nice, be nice.

I'll go.
Two days of hearing what I already know, some of what I already practice.....presented by a person I don't particularly respect cuz their money isn't where their mouth is.
Notarity, fame, prestige--but a heart and a passion for helping others change their lives?! Hardly.......

*sigh*

Choose my attitude.
Make arrangements for a crisis filled unit.
Suit up and show up.

OH BOY!!!!
I get to go to a training!!
*rolling eyes*

Nope......LOL.....ain't workin'....
Guess I'll have to make arrangements, suit up, show up and bring bubbles and a sandcastle toy to play with!
