Seven Deadly Habits

Punishing, Complaining, Blaiming, Threatening, Nagging, Criticizing, Bribing!!!!!


Do these things and you will make everyone around you nuts! Dr. William Glasser believes that most of the emotional turmoil we experience is directly caused by our use of these seven deadly habits. We seem to have our wiring crossed. We spend half our lives trying to control the people and the institutions which fill our lives and it is sick! As we try harder to control those around us they quite naturally become resistant and resentful and soon our relationships are broken and disappointing. Although Glasser's theory (Choice Theory) seems quite simple it has worked well in therapy with thousands of people. Diagnosis and labelling (DSM-IV) are seen as damaging hostile tools that only hurt our relationships further. Instead Glasser says we simply need to replace the seven deadly habits with the seven habits of truly caring people.


Supporting, Encouraging, Listening, Accepting, Trusting, Respecting and Negotiating Differences!!!

If you work and live with these habits most of your problems will disappear. Try googleing the Glasser Institute to find out more. Peace. TJS.

  1. Well hello Dr. Todd Sojonky I like what i see and hear on your blog it is very inspiring, and true every body has different reactions to solving their own problems and desires. As I read through the poem I though of how wonderful life really is and noticed I have alot to live for my children the future and reality enjoy life before it passes bye with family and friends. I will take Encounter Supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, respecting and negotiating differences as a new way of a positive direction to a better life style and career choice. Sincerly yours Mary Vanderkracht (sw417)
