Guilt About Being More Successful Than a Sibling?
Would you be surprised to learn that many people who consult me about their personal issues – being depressed, underachieving, marital problems discover that part of their problem is related to their relationship with their siblings?
I can hear you now saying, “No way. That’s ridiculous.”
But, in fact, it’s true. Not for everyone, but a considerable percentage of people’s current feelings and behaviors are effected by how they get along (or don’t) with their siblings. Particularly one they were close to as children.
I’ve seen so many highly successful men and women sabotage themselves, over and over, with no idea why they keep changing jobs, getting fired, losing interest.
There is a price to pay for becoming more professionally or financially successful than a sibling. If you were always the more successful one, there may be an under current of guilt that you’ve been luckier than a sibling. And, one way the unconscious deals with guilt is to make sure you falter.
This is just one of the things I’ll be talking about thisTuesday, March 21, at 8:00 (est). To learn more, go to the (FREE) teleseminar description (and registration page) at DrKGL.com/sibs.
