The first training I ever did, changed my life, I went on to study psychotherapy Gestalt to be exact. Dr Glasser was a man way ahead of his time. I wish more people took his training.
BRAVO TO DR WILLIAM GLASSER!! AND HIS GREAT BOOKS! AND BRAVA to Ellen Gelinas for bringing great awareness to the great Dr William Glasser who was ostracized in the United States during his lifetime for his theories and his refusal to comply with the drug culture of psychiatrics in the United States.
and over diagnosing people with mental illnesses that they don't have! Like Glasser said sometime you just don't get along with others or yourself well and you aren't mentally ill. We live in a society that wants to focus more on labeling and medication than on our lifestyles and behaviors. Why not empower individuals by letting them realize that they have a choice in the path their life is taking and they aren't chained to a diagnosis or drug!@@beckyandrus3977
I don't think that is what she is trying to say. Part of what she is saying and what Glasser felt was important which is establishing boundaries so that you can prioritize your own needs. Which, might as a results "screw people over" if that's how you choose to describe it.. But only if that's how you choose to describe it. Perception is everything. It is not screwing other's over to prioritize your needs to care for yourself. It may not give others unlimited access to you and everything you want but individual priority resides more on realizing what YOU want and what YOU need and figuring out how to achieve that because we each are our own responsibilities. Youre not responsibly for another wants or needs,, you're responsible for yours. Obviously having children and things like that is different. But, part of choice theory is making choices to help YOU be happier and establish better relationships and take back control of your life through your choices. Boundaries are actually usually good for relationships and make them stronger. IF people regard your boundaries as screwing them over VS taking care of yourself then they possibly aren't the best friends or partners..

thanks for doing this!
She seems to be saying that Choice Theory means "screw everyone else". I don't think that's what Glasser meant at all
