About this video:
We all know one - that person who makes it their mission to fix us, lecture us, and get into our face. They're usually a know-it-all. Truth is though that their motives are wrong, and they're goals deep down are skewed. But we don't like confrontation. So how do we deal with them?
Also, what about when other people praise us? Do we handle that any better?
Using real-life scenarios, Dr. Miller takes us step by step through circumstances in which we decide the best way to respond.

Like with all the session videos, relaxation techniques are presented a number of times during the presentation.
