Getting Along with Difficult People
You know who they are....those aggravating individuals. They range from rubbing you the wrong way to openly critical or aggressive toward you. They are in our families as the ornery sibling or the obnoxious in-law, sometimes it's our friends that get an attitude, cross a line or demand too much from us, at work it's the boss who is too demanding or a co-worker who shirks responsibility or points fingers at everyone but themselves, at church they are the shamers and judgers with no room to talk, at restaurants it's the loud table in the middle of the room or the arrogant staff member, and it is those strangers in line with us at any store or event that takes us out of our comfort zone experience.
They can be anywhere. And they show up with a regularity that is freakishly amazing.
When I was working in the corporate world, it seems there was that one person at every job that got under my skin. They were different people, in different organizational positions from me with different agendas at each job. They showed up as a boss, a co-worker or a representative of another department that I had to work with. And they thought I did things wrong and I thought they were a$$holes.
I wish I had known about Emotional Resolution (EmRes) back then! Because I now understand that my fears and angst where projected onto my antagonist. In working with Emotional Resolution clients, I've found that the old axiom holds very true:
It takes two to tango.
If you need an adversary to hold up one side of an argument for you, someone will show up and carry on the other side of the dispute. As soon as you let go of the difficulty--the anchoring emotion, the other person will "lose interest". This all happens at a subconscious level, of course, the undercurrent of conversation below speaking and listening.
You just have to break the cycle by letting go of your side.
I've seen this work time and again with spouses and pairings of all sorts. The client is "going crazy" when "they do that", "they know I don't like it, so why do they do it?" The client has a Emotional Resolution session to work on this specific antagonistic situation. And things change.
The client no longer has the embedded emotion that is "clinging to the story". It's almost like they forget about the recurring problem until I mention it at a later time. And the spouse "just doesn't do it anymore," is commonly in the result. At first I thought the anecdotal stories brought back to me by clients were small coincidences, entertaining to be sure. But they have happened with such regularity, that now I expect to hear them.
Letting go of emotions that power disagreements, that we brush off as "part of dealing with other personalities", may seem trivial in the grand scheme of things. But imagine having a home, workplace, school, church, etc where you didn't have that someone(s) that drives you crazy with their arrogance, controlling attitude or whatever. It would take so much stress out of our lives.
Emotional Resolution uses your situation, the scene of interaction with your antagonist, as its entry point. With this mental image, the emotional memories that are trapped in body are accessed and resolved. You don't have to know where or how the emotions got trapped there. You don't even have to name the emotion. You just have to know the situation that you don't want in your life anymore, and the specific and precise protocol for Emotional Resolution does the rest. It is literally a reset button.
Are you ready to release your side of the story?
