Dear Difference Maker,
We have all encountered "difficult" people who exhibit intense emotional reactions and behaviors.
It is easy to throw our hands up in the air and say, "Dealing with this person is a Lost Cause!"
While the message of the Lost Cause Kid is a movie for educational professionals and parents who live and/or work with emotionally distressed youth... and/or adults for that matter. This story is a reminder to us all about what really works in the most difficult - most intense - situations we can possibly face: Suspend your resistance!
This true story also holds the "key" to life's most challenging relationship issues. The Key to positively impacting ANY emotionally intense situation is: stop judging and start connecting in ways that are deliberately understanding and compassionate. We're making this far more difficult than it needs to be.
I liken the solutions we seek to Ockham's razor (also spelled Occam's razor, but attributed to 14th-century English logician, William of Ockham) ...
Ockham's razor is the idea that, in trying to understand something, getting unnecessary information out of the way is the fastest way to the solution.
Ockham's razor is a philosophical or scientific principle according to which the best explanation of an event is the one that is the simplest, using the fewest assumptions or hypotheses.
Our short 10 min. movie is all about doing (and thinking) something simple (and different) in the face of chronic emotionally intense, disruptive situations and behaviors. What works with kids also works with people of all ages as well.
I hope you will grab a cup of tea, turn up your speakers and make time to watch it.
We welcome you to forward this on to those who will benefit from the simple, immediately applicable concepts it so beautifully, and peacefully illustrates.
Reaching out ...
