Have you ever crossed a line and regretted it immediately - what pushed you to that point, what was it that caused you to go somewhere you never entended to go. Anger and frustration can lead to hurtfull moments that can't be taken back.

Keep in mind...

When you're angry. Stay silent. Don't waste your time with explanations. Sometimes silence is the best way to cope with your emotions. People only hear what they want to hear. Accept criticism, but never accept disrespects. The best way to respect yourself is to discipline yourself. Persevere. And never give up on something that you truly believe.

It's difficult to wait. But it's more difficult to regret. Don't let success go to your head. Don't let failure go to your heart. If you are a giver Remember to know and learn your limits. Because the takers don't have any. Remember, it's better to cry than to be angry, because anger hurts others.

While tears. Flow silently through the soul. Clean our hearts. Giving us a fresh reset when you're angry. Stay silent.

So, forgive often. And love with all your heart. You'll never know. If you have the chance to Do it again.

Today, there is no time. Tomorrow, there will be no energy. And the day after tomorrow. We may no longer be here. So, don't delay anything. Live a life. You will remember those who died yesterday.

Episode 123 - Author Susan Schwartz - The Absent Father Effect on Daughters

Susan E. Schwartz, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist is a member the International Association of Analytical Psychology. She has taught in numerous Jungian programs and presented workshops and lectures in the USA and many other countries.

Susan has articles in several journals and chapters in books on Jungian analytical psychology. She has a book published by Routledge in 2020 entitled, The Absent Father Effect on Daughters, Father Desire, Father Wounds. Her analytical private practice is in Paradise Valley, Arizona, USA and her website is www.susanschwartzphd.com

On her website are several videos on her recent book, The Absent Father Effect on Daughters, Father Desire, Father Wounds. Check our her Face Book and Instagram as well for thoughtful reflections and quotes on this theme.

Winner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Clinical Book 2021

The Absent Father Effect on Daughters investigates the impact of absent – physically or emotionally – and inadequate fathers on the lives and psyches of their daughters through the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology. This book tells the stories of daughters who describe the insecurity of self, the splintering and disintegration of the personality, and the silencing of voice.

Issues of fathers and daughters reach to the intra-psychic depths and archetypal roots, to issues of self and culture, both personal and collective. Susan E. Schwartz illustrates the maladies and disappointments of daughters who lack a father figure and incorporates clinical examples describing how daughters can break out of idealizations, betrayals, abandonments and losses to move towards repair and renewal. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, expanding and elucidating Jungian concepts through dreams, personal stories, fairy tales and the poetry of Sylvia Plath, along with psychoanalytic theory, including Andre Green’s ‘dead father effect’ and Julia Kristeva’s theories on women and the body as abject.

Examining daughters both personally and collectively affected by the lack of a father, The Absent Father Effect on Daughters is highly relevant for those wanting to understand the complex dynamics of daughters and fathers to become their authentic selves. It will be essential reading for anyone seeking understanding, analytical and depth psychologists, other therapy professionals, academics and students with Jungian and post-Jungian interests.

Episode 122 - The Dad's Guide to Marriage, 3 Key Actions for Long-Term Relationship Success

To strengthen relationships with partners for long-term stability in marriage, especially for dads, consider these three actionable strategies:

• Effective communication is the cornerstone of a healthy marriage. Dads can enhance their relationship by:Setting Aside Time: Dedicate time each day to discuss feelings, experiences, and concerns. This could be during dinner or a quiet moment after the kids are asleep.
• Active Listening: Instead of simply waiting for your turn to speak, focus on truly understanding your partner’s perspective. Acknowledge their feelings and validate their experiences.
• Expressing Appreciation: Regularly express gratitude for your partner’s efforts, whether big or small. This fosters a positive atmosphere and reinforces emotional bonds

• Spending quality time together helps maintain connection and intimacy. Dads can strengthen their marriages by:Scheduling Date Nights: Make it a habit to go out or engage in activities together, even if it’s a simple walk or movie night at home. Regular date nights help rekindle the romance and provide an opportunity to reconnect32.
• Collaborative Projects: Work on a home project or hobby together. This not only allows for teamwork but also creates shared memories that can deepen your bond.
• Parenting Together: Actively participate in parenting duties as a team. This shared responsibility can enhance your partnership and demonstrate mutual support

• Developing emotional intelligence is crucial for understanding and supporting each other effectively. Dads can improve their emotional connection by:Accepting Influence: Be open to your partner's opinions and feelings. This shows respect and fosters collaboration in decision-making, which is vital for a healthy relationship4.
• Empathy in Conflict: During disagreements, strive to understand your partner's viewpoint rather than simply defending your own. Approach conflicts with a mindset of compromise and collaboration.
• Emotional Check-ins: Regularly ask how your partner is feeling about various aspects of life, including the relationship itself. This proactive approach can prevent misunderstandings and build trust

By implementing these strategies, dads can cultivate stronger relationships with their partners, ensuring long-term stability and happiness in their marriages.

Appreciate Your Spouse

Every day, think of five things you're grateful for about your spouse. Even small things matter. Share your appreciation with them—it brightens their day and strengthens your bond.

Without expecting anything in return, take on one of your spouse's chores. Whether it’s picking up the kids or washing dishes, easing their load will show you care and deepen your partnership.

Schedule a Weekly Date

Set a date night each week and stick to it. Even simple outings, like a walk or grabbing dinner, help you reconnect and keep the spark alive.

Work on Yourself

Your spouse wants you to be the best version of yourself. Address personal triggers, and invest in self-growth. Whether it's through reading, therapy, or self-reflection, improving yourself improves your relationship.

Communicate Clearly

Address issues without being harsh. If something bothers you, discuss it calmly and work together on solutions. Healthy communication builds trust.

Listen Without Fixing

When your spouse shares their problems, resist the urge to jump to solutions. Instead, listen, empathize, and acknowledge their feelings. Sometimes, they just need to be heard.

Handle Money Calmly

Don’t stress your spouse out with money worries. Be responsible with your spending, and work together to find a financial balance that works for both of you.

Make Them Your Priority

Show your spouse that they’re your top priority. Whether it’s through small gestures, kind words, or simply giving them your time, putting them first strengthens your relationship.

Start today with one small action, and watch how it transforms your marriage.
