    Quotes:

    "Differentiation deals with working on one's own self, with controlling self, with becoming a more responsible person, and permitting others to be themselves."

    - Murray Bowen

    "The real problem is that the partners in a difficult relations are 'no-selfs.' Too much of each self has been absorbed into the relationship." - Roberta M. Gilbert

    TIPS:

    1. Get to know yourself: Take a minute to figure out what makes you tick. Why do you get annoyed when your partner leaves dishes in the sink? Understanding your own quirks can help you chill out in tricky situations.
    2. Keep it one-on-one: When you're mad at your partner, don't run to your mom or bestie to vent. Try to work it out with your partner directly. It's tempting to get others on your side, but it usually makes things messier.
    3. Spot the family reruns: Notice if your family has a "greatest hits" of arguments or behaviors. Maybe everyone clams up when things get tense, just like grandma used to do. Spotting these patterns is the first step to changing them.
    4. Be your own emotional DJ: Learn to turn down your own stress levels without relying on others to calm you down. It's like being able to soothe yourself instead of always needing a hug from mom.
    5. Give people space to be themselves: Remember that your partner or kids aren't extensions of you. Let them have their own thoughts and feelings, even if you don't agree. Focus on managing your own reactions instead of trying to control theirs.
