Many people find it challenging to know what to sa Many people find it challenging to know what to say to support their loved ones and help them feel secure after a trauma. So, here’s a list of phrases that are best left unsaid, along with some uplifting alternatives to try out instead.

Instead of, "Things will get better", ➡️ try, "I see that you’re hurting".
Instead of, "Why didn't you tell me before?" ➡️ try, "Thank you for trusting me with this".
Instead of, "We need to talk about this" ➡️ try, "I’m here to listen if you’d like to talk".
Instead of, "Enough anger, it’s time to move on" ➡️ try, "Of course you’re angry! I’m here for you".

I've been talking about "Sassy And Rude" a lot lat I've been talking about "Sassy And Rude" a lot lately, but I also think that my audience here would also enjoy an older book of mine called "Healing The Sensitive Heart"

I wrote it to help you overcome past traumas and learn to not only survive, but to thrive. Stop living in the "minimum security prison" of survival and move to the freedom of a thriver mentality.

It feels scary because you're unfamiliar, not beca It feels scary because you're unfamiliar, not because you're incapable. Bravely take the first step, and you'll soon discover that you are more prepared than you may think you are.

Anxiety and fear are a normal, sometimes healthy, safety mechanism for us in these times of change. But don't let these feelings hold you back from the greatness you might experience from these new paths you start down during the growth periods of your life. 

Does this sound familiar? I'd love to hear about some times that felt scary to begin with, but you soon realized were the uncertainty of times unknown.

True friendship isn't who makes your problems disa True friendship isn't who makes your problems disappear. Friendship is who appears when you face problems.

It's the unwavering support, the comforting presence, and the shared laughter even in the darkest times that define the essence of true friendship.

These are the people who stand by you, offering a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on, reminding you that you are never alone. They celebrate your victories and help you rise from your defeats, always encouraging you to be the best version of yourself.

True friends are gems, precious and rare. They add immeasurable value to our lives with their kindness and loyalty.

It is one of the greatest honors of my life to assist you and your adult daughters in rebuilding your relationships with one another. Thank you for reading. 📚 

⭐️ ATTN: All Women! We are all either mothers or daughters or both! This book is highly relatable and relevant to those relationships we’ve experienced as women. I highly recommend reading it. It will not disappoint. Dr. Debra Mandel is more than qualified to give this advice! - LA Dom

⭐️ Filled with insight and great examples: I’ve been a fan of Dr Debra for years - her books and radio programs. This book doesn’t disappoint. I love that with each chapter and her explanation, she gives examples that can help understand and relate to her message. I found insights in the book that are helpful for me and may certainly be helpful for others. - Wendy C.

⭐️ Brilliant and informative guide: I bought this book for my wife after living for many years through the rollercoaster, love-hate relationship between her and her daughter. We both read this together. It hit home on so many levels - the power struggles, the need to please, walking on egg shells, the manipulation. The Sugar and Spice interactive exercises at the end of each chapter really worked to forge a deeper connection between them. They are on the road to healing and understanding with much more laughter and love. I strongly recommend this book to all mothers who want to bridge the gap with their daughters that often seems insurmountable. - lvelvis

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but don’t tak I don’t know who needs to hear this, but don’t take criticism from people who you wouldn't take advice from. Think about how long that list really is before you worry about what they think about you!

It's important to surround yourself with those who genuinely support and understand your life's complex journey. Constructive feedback is valuable, but it should come from individuals who care about your growth and have your best interests at heart. Focus on building a circle of trust where encouragement and guidance are mutual, fostering an environment where you can thrive and become the best version of yourself.
