You probably hit on something, there may be an element of choice in what part of a subject we address, and it’s a lot of times it’s dictated by where our interests lie. Great example you gave, what if Walter were the father? Right on–he’d choose to take a different approach!

Even so, got to say that I differ on the processing… don’t you think there are some natural differences? None? Really?

Great insights, Laura, thanks much for your thoughts!

Well I can see the duality here and have understood for years how communication differs between the genders and it is something I have struggled with myslef. I think we all at one point have read an excerpt or heard of the book “Men are from Mars, Woman are from Venus”. Although this example was to the extreme, I have come across many men that respond in that matter. It is not that they are oblivious to the real problem, it is that men like to fix stuff and go off an thier island to deal with everything else, unless you are of course Dr. Phil. I used to think we processed things differently, but now understand it is more of a choice. For instance, let’s reverse the roles… Say Walter was not only the person Sheila wrote to about advice, but let’s also give him the role of being the 22 year old’s father that her husband is having the affair with… If you give him that role, I can guarantee his response would be different and have nothing to do with fixing a car. However point is communication and understanding how to get the results you desire.

Fun funny Tav!
I’ll be careful to be clear when I speak to my prospective ‘family enrollees’ then. Communication = money is what I was told.

The example was a good one, a bad thing, and yeah why did Walter totally ignore Sheila’s other problem, the one she wrote him about?

And what’s the other little secret? I think i missed it
