Hawaiian dish Counseling Corner Steps Toward A Mentally Healthier You Special to the Ledger from the American Counseling Association Humans beings are just naturally social creatures, some of us more so than others. Most of us enjoy our interactions with others, sharing thoughts and happenings and learning from our friends. While many of the re lationships we have are fairly casual, there are other “close” associa tions that matter because they’re with people we truly care about. These might be work associ ates, neighbors, relatives or a spouse or relation ship partner. They’re relationships we value, but are also relationships that can pose problems when we see something wrong. Regardless of how much we think of, or care about, someone close to us, there may be times when we find something troubling or disturbing about that person. At such times we may agonize over whether we should share our opinion or observa tions, realizing that do ing so might jeopardize the relationship. It can be a difficult decision to make even when the person in question is a spouse or other close relative. While we all want to avoid losing a close friend, we also want to be responsible and to offer the help we think is needed.

One way is to use what’s sometimes called a “caring con frontation” or a“one- two” approach. This begins by hav ing the conversation in a private place and just between the two of you. Part one is simply de scribing in an objective, non-judgmental way what you have observed. You might use positive statements like, “You don’t seem as happy lately. Am I right?,” rather than saying, “You sure are depressed these days.” Part “two” of this approach is to question whether your friend feels your observation is accurate. Is what you stated representative of things not going well? If your friend agrees that there’s something wrong, the next step is to offer an invitation to discuss it. The idea is not to position yourself as an authority trying to “fix” the issue. Sometimes simply giving some one an opportunity to discuss what’s wrong can be very helpful. If you think a professional could help, you might make that observation in a positive way. The point is not to be confrontational, but rather to give your friend the support and encouragement needed to find help and return to a more happy, posi tive life.

Recently, I learned she got a department store credit card despite my advice. She has stayed within her credit limit, but she has never made any of the payments. At this point, she owes about $3,500. She’s a good stu dent, and I want to look at this as a young person’s mistake. Should I pay it off for her this one time? Joseph Dear Joseph, You’re right, this is a typical young person’s mistake. Like a lot of mistakes our kids make, it’s one that’s bad and wonderful at the same time. It’s bad because, if she had just listened to dear old dad, she would’ve avoided a mess. It’s wonderful, though, because it gives you the opportunity to provide her with a real world, teachable mo ment. I understand you wanting to help her out “this one time.” It means you have a good heart, and that you care about your daughter and love her. There’s a reality here, though, I hope you won’t over look. It’s her debt, not yours. She knew what she was doing when she signed up for that credit card. She knew what it meant, what was expected, and she is the one who should have to make good on the repayment. The entire deal is legal and fair. At this point, my advice is to put your arm around her, talk to her, and lovingly explain where she went wrong and why it was a bad idea. You can even help her find a part- time job if she doesn’t have one right now, so she can pay off her debt and get out of this mess. But leave the payments to her. My guess is by the time she finishes work ing her tail off to pay this debt she will have learned a lesson she’ll remember for the rest of her life! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solu tions.
