People in difficult relationships often blame others for their unhappiness. It could be a boss who demands too much, a spouse who doesn’t make time to be together or a friend who isn’t supportive enough. Blaming others impacts your personal power and ability to be in charge of your own happiness.
I worked with a professional who was dealing with a challenging work relationship. When he was hired he was told that the company would supply him with clients. After a year the situation changed and new business was directed to others. He had been stewing with anger and resentment about the change, blaming his employer for his unhappiness and difficulty maintaining a full book of business. I helped him reorient his “finger pointing” away from the team leader and back to himself. What can “you” do to make this situation better? It wasn’t until he recognized and expressed his negative emotions that he could take charge of his situation, see other options, and make positive changes in his work life.
