Concord Counseling Updates

    "We want to thank you once again for being there for our family this past Christmas.  The gifts and household items are and will be a huge help to us. The kids just loved all the gifts and clothes. God bless you, the school and all that make this possible to the families in need. Please remember I will help in anyway needed this year to help organize."                                                                                                        Sincerely,                                                                                                      A Concord Family

Try to make a connection with someone by remembering a time you had a similar experience or just try to imagine what it would be like to be in their shoes. Now that you can relate, ask yourself,  How would I like to be treated? What considerations would I appreciate from others? Are you willing to treat others the way you want to be treated? Practicing empathy is like working a muscle. We need to exercise our empathy skills often and regularly throughout our life.

We have been recognizing traits within our own personality.  Our emphasis is knowing we cannot erase these traits but, need to embrace them.  Our goal is to be proactive and have a healthy balance for our-self.  If these traits are having a negative impact on relationships we need to look closer and set goals to have a better balance.
