"You don't need to analyze why you're stuck in order to solve your marital problems."
What do you think about that statement?
If you already "understand" that your having problems with your relationship because your partner's been "diagnosed" with family-of-origin issues, MLC, PMS, depression, etc., do you still feel "stuck" for solutions to the problem?
What things in the "cause-hunting" cycle can you see that you are blaming them for, and which they are blaming YOU for?
Have you ever tried to do anything that helped to break this cycle, and, if so, what positive results did you see?
Do you feel that you "think small" enough? Are you doing anything to "celebrate" any small, positive change that you have helped to create?
Can you add any ideas of small "baby steps" that Michele has listed to look for?
