Dealing With Difficult People

Do you have a difficult person in your life? In your family, perhaps, or amongst your neighbors or colleagues? Maybe you’re a therapist and have a difficult patient or two.
My colleagues at Ramat Gan College in Tel Aviv invited me there next week to give a workshop on this topic. In this short video I share a story about a difficult person in my life and about what a colleague helped me understand about what is and what could be happening in such relationships.

    Hi Daniel,

    Thank you for your thought-provoking and very disarming podcast. I was intrigued at you embracing calling yourself “a difficult person” and what that label can mean to others and the community. I hope to learn to have that level of acceptance about my own foibles and my own strengths.

    From one difficult person to another,
