  • Double Dragon

    The Double Dragon is an appropriate symbol for the topic of covert aggression and empowerment - two heads coming out of one body.

    For in truth, the dragons exist one within the other, as both aggression and empowerment exist within each person.

    Relational aggression isn't so much about a specific person, a "bitch" we love to hate, as much as a state of mind; a set of choices we all can make.

    The possibility for their manifestation exists in every person. Some people do play the role of aggressor as opposed to target, but to become an aggressor is only a choice away for each one of us.

    Be willing then, to see yourself, if only in potential, in both roles - aggressor and target. Doing so will give you insight and understanding, and with that, true empowerment.

Video: Campaign for Real Beauty
This is a short clip, but speaks volumes to the issues of self-esteem and true beauty. A wonderful springboard for further discussion. Often with relational aggression there's intense competition to jockey for position through looks, clothes and other exterior values. It's important to look at how we handle those things we value, ... Read More
