I have found in my life and in my work that we tend to over complicate stressful situations. This is why I often challenge my clients to take the direct approach when it comes to problems in the family. I had an example just this morning of over complicating a situation. My client over-indulged and then had a surprise visit from her daughter and son-in-law. They all got into a discussion about religion, which often does not go well since they have different beliefs. When she got up this morning her husband seemed to be silent and upset with her. I encouraged her to talk with him directly and find out what happened, if anything. She was nervous about it because it is a new behavior and her husband is going into surgery for his knee today. My client put off talking with her husband until after the surgery. She decided to apologize to her daughter (not knowing if she did anything wrong). Her daughter respond via text that there was nothing to apologize for, they had all a perfectly nice conversation. My client experienced a lot of unneccessary stress by not gettig informed and over complicating things in her mind. If you're not sure, ask, avoid making up stories in your head that are upsetting and life will go more smoothly.
