Here’s when you need to use “tough love” in your relationships—and when you don’t

May 21, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC “It’s time for some tough love.” I have to mentally buckle up when I hear these words. I strain myself trying not to burst into tears. Until recently, I’ve translated this phrase to mean: “Get ready. I’m about to be a jerk.” But licensed clinical psychologist Aimee Daramus, PsyD, tells me that this kind of advice is effective with the proper time, venue, and audience. “Tough love can definitely have a place, but it’s not always a good first move,” she says. “If you see red flags for abuse, or there’s some other emergency, then yes. Maybe. If it’s less urgent, try something more cooperative, like pointing out what’s bothering you and talking about how the problem can be solved.” In other words, this stinging form of adoration works best in severe situations—not when you need to inform your bestie that her bangs are all wrong for her face shape or tell a coworker they’ve been slacking on their responsibilities. “The problem with tough love is that it feels really good to deliver, but if it’s too harsh, it won’t work.” Dr. Daramus confirms my suspicions that—all too often—the impetus for tough love is one’s desire to be “right” over the feelings of others. “The problem with tough love is that it feels really good to deliver, but if it’s too harsh, it won’t work,” she warns. Even worse, the tone that accompanies tough love often becomes confrontational. You can end up causing

Why you (and only you) should have the final word on what goes on your plate

May 21, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC I can’t remember the very first time someone’s comments on my food sparked a mental shame spiral, but one instance has stuck in my memory. I was 16 and home alone on a Friday night. I ordered a large pepperoni pizza and ate slice after slice until half of the pie was gone. When my parents got home, the sight of the missing carbs prompted a statement like, “You ate that all yourself? That’s like a thousand calories.” It sounds silly and small, but that comment made a lasting impression on me—to the point where those words echo in my head whenever I go all in on an “unhealthy” craving. I know that my parents’ words weren’t intended to make me feel bad about my eating habits. But it’s not harmless—and I’m not the only one who melts into a shame spiral any time someone turns their attention to what’s on the end of my fork. There’s a whole Reddit thread, “Please stop commenting on my food!” dedicated to the topic. And when I started asking around, friends, family, and coworkers chimed in that they, too, feel deeply insecure under nutritional scrutiny. As Judith Matz, LCSW, co-author of The Diet Survivor’s Handbook: 60 Lessons in Eating, Acceptance and Self-Care, explains, “intention isn’t the same as impact.” When we comment on the contents of somebody else’s plate (no matter how well-intended), we’re potentially feeding their harshest inner critics. And for women in particular, those
