psychotherapy:
Why are people so blissfully ignorant of certain aspects of their personalities?
Take an everyday example: there are some infuriating people who are always late for appointments. A few of these people explain it by saying they are ‘laid-back’, while others seem unaware that they’re always late.
For laid-back people, their lateness is a part of their personality, they are aware...

DO NOT CHEAT OR IT WON’T WORK AND YOU WILL WISH YOU HADNT. TAKE 3 MINUTES TRY THIS - IT WILL FREAK YOU OUT. (note from Makani)This really made my heart like jump into my throat. It is majorly creepifying. Honestly I did not even cheat, and it came out with answers I didn’t even let myself believe until now.(end note) THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO ME SAID HER WISH CAME TRUE 10...

Race, Culture, and the "Other" Side
thealvisin:
I just wrote a really long, charged post about race and culture, even needing a disclaimer, but I decided not to post it because I would rather have that discussion with people in person rather than through here, haha.
It all just stemmed from ElCo site today. Even though I didn’t have any PA sessions, I did have some really good conversations regarding the above topic with Janelle...

Setup For a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Expectations about how an experience “should” feel can prime you for a lifetime of disappointment.
A negative first relationship can doom people to get trapped over and over again in self-destructive relationships. The reverse effect applies also. If your first relationship is healthy and positive, you may expect new people to be similarly...

“We’re wired for attachment in a world of impermanence,” says Robert Neimeyer, a psychologist at the University of Memphis who studies how people draw meaning from loss and grief. “How we negotiate that tension shapes who we become.”
‘People struck by loss or trauma at...
What the F does "OKay" mean anyway?
Today during active meeting, we asked each other how our heart and health were doing. And then when it came to my turn, I told them that the word “Okay” has ruled my life.
“I’m doing okay.” “It’s okay, really, it’s okay.” “You’re going to be okay.”
These are things that I either tell people or I tell myself. And it’s...
Evidently I'm random
So…. on the way to retreat from westwood, I got into a mood that I get when I feel like asking questions. I’m a naturally curious person, so you’ll find me asking questions like, “Have you ever thought about how strange memory is?” or “When was your first experience with death?” And then Priscilla and Emerson were slightly taken aback and laughed at me,...

psychotherapy:
Time may march, or ebb, or sift, or creep, but in early January it feels as if it has bolted like an angry dinner guest, leaving conversations unfinished, relationships still stuck, bad habits unbroken, goals unachieved.
“I think for many people, we think about our goals, and if nothing much has happened with those then suddenly it seems like it was just yesterday that we set...
