"Many times what a complaint really is: is an unfulfilled request.
Questions we haven't asked, issues we don't confront, and
problems we refuse to face come out as complaints." Rhonda Britten
A pattern of behaviour that
validates your feelings of helplessness.
Advertisements of your fears.
A way to connect to others.
Complaints let
you:
Hide
your feelings from yourself and others.
Focus on the problem instead of the resolution.
Give up on possibilities.
How would your life be different
if you had no complaints?
Exercise:
“Expectations
lead to disappoint-ment. That disappointment is frequently
expressed as complaints.”

Client Feedback:
I am new in this country. I was living in a verbally
abusive situation. I lost myself. I didn't live. Barb
supported me to find confidence. Now I know what my
choices are and how to live. Barb helped me to open my
eyes, my heart and find strength. She gave me the tools
to find my way from darkness to light. Now I know
myself. I know life. Svetlana
