Today’s show is going to hit home for so many of us. We’re talking about those relationships that feel like we never left high school.
Sean Kelly, Mariam Serkal and Dr Julie Gowthorpe, RSW dig into why these relationships drain us, how to spot them, and, most importantly, what to do about them.
Pick your favorite movie or television series about high school. Overall you will see the Spotlight Seeker, the Drama Spinner, and the Know-It-All. There is also a Vanisher who never shows up unless to get credit for something.
These are the disruptive personalities because, as you can recall, it is all about them. If they don’t mature, they just move from bothering and controlling people in the hallway to doing it in workplace, gyms, social get-togethers.
The solution is simple, but it takes courage. Think about high schools. If no one sets healthy expectations, disrupters rule and then no one wants to be there including the teachers or real adults in the room.
