1. I've beaten my anger issues. I don't lose my temper, lose control, or let my emotions get the best of me. I try to choose my words carefully so they don't make things worse in the heat of the moment.
2. Asking my wife for talking points before a big or important discussion has really helped diffuse the initial emotional reaction and has made these discussions more manageable. I HIGHLY recommend this technique!
3. Coaching sessions with Laurie have definitely helped me get some focus and perspective and have helped clarify my goals. Even though my wife is leaving, I have been seeing signs of change, and have been able to meet many of my short term goals.
4. The Separation Diet sems to be working, I've lost 10 pounds this month!
