If you're hurting, the world stops and I listen

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

One of The Four Horsemen is defensiveness, which is an attempt to ward off a perceived attack.

“It’s not my fault that we’re always late.”

When we feel accused unjustly, we fish for excuses so that our partner will back off. Unfortunately, this strategy isn't very effective.

One of The Four Horsemen is defensiveness, which is an attempt to ward off a perceived attack.

“It’s not my fault that we’re always late.”

When we feel accused unjustly, we fish for excuses so that our partner will back off. Unfortunately, this strategy isn't very effective.

That's because defensiveness is really a way of blaming your partner. You’re saying, in effect, “The problem isn’t me, it’s you.”

Instead, take responsibility for your words or actions that upset your partner. This opens the door to repair and reconnection.

“Well, you’re right. Part of this is my fault – I need to do a better job managing my time.”

Couples who are successful adopt the motto that, "If you’re hurting, the world stops and I listen. I’m with you."

The new sports centre will be home to Fraser Park Sportsville, a collaborative initiative in which sporting groups join together to develop new shared facilities with centralised management.  It aims to create a number of sports villages, or communities, making it easier for sports clubs to attract new members, offer new programmes and control operational costs by sharing resources.

I am able to pass on messages of love, encouragement, comfort & healing as well as provide some insight, clarity and direction for you. Due to the amazing connection we all have with Spirit, phone readings are just as accurate and entertaining (yes, laughter does happen, a LOT) within my readings, so distance need not be an issue. In person or on the phone, I can make that connection for you.
Search for me, RachealRoseagh on Neighbourly or on Facebook.
I forgot to mention, all sessions, including phone and counselling, are $60 per session. Sessions last approx 1 hour, in my home or yours.

While VTNZ admitted it was a mistake to fail him, the story on Stuff prompted others to come forward with their stories on what they were failed for. We wanted to ask you whether you thought our driving tests were too strict? Why or why not? Do you know someone failed for a seemingly small reason?

Hi Group

This is a plug for New Zealand's biggest Facebook rabbit welfare group who are looking for you to join if you have a pet rabbit or tell your friends & family about us if they have pet rabbits.

We are here for rabbit owners to learn new information about their bunnies & the best way to care for them. Ethical breeders who focus on purebred lines, responsible re-homing, safe practices & rabbit welfare are welcome. Unethical breeders, meat farmers (refer The Rabbit Council of NZ), animal hoarders/abusers are NOT welcome. Our site allows members to post any rabbit related sale items, share photos, express new ideas & even find your bunnies new forever homes if needed.

We have the biggest educational database in the country that is always expanding, along with linked pages FLUFFY BUNNIES for re-homing, FORAGE NZ for rabbit supplies and BUNS INC for educational information. We invite you to become a member of a fun group and spread the word at our fabulous bunnies are.
