Several times in life we are all hit with something that’s really tough. We feel terrible. We don’t like it. We want it to go away. We do a variety of things in an effort to feel better. Some of us withdraw, hide, or do other things that allow us to avoid the problem. Others speak up, attack, or try to control the situation. These things may help in the short term however, they can also create additional problems and then we find ourselves back where we began, often worse off.
