Topic: Letting go of Controlling Others

It's common to have a "manual" for how other people should behave. In this class, we'll discuss:

-Why your prescriptions on how other people should behave cause you misery
-How to reconceive issues that "can't" be solved without other people changing
-The role of boundaries in dealing with other people's misbehavior

As preparation for this class, please do the following exercise: Identify one person in your life who you would like to be different. Make a list of at least three things you would like for them to change, which you think would make you happier.

You can bring your example to class, or, send me a note beforehand so I can discuss your example anonymously.
