18.01.2022 Everything can be taken from a (person) but one thing: the last of the human freedomsto choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way. Viktor Frankl

18.01.2022 Many people battling depression already feel isolated (maybe even you). Please try to check on those you know are strugglling, and if youre feeling even more anxious about possible isolation, please tell a friend, family member, or therapist.... Remember, not everyone has a family or significant other. Not everyone has a close-knit circle of friends. Even if they do, in times of crisis, people dealing with severe anxiety, depression, or mania might not be in a place to reach out, and social distancing may be as deadly as the new big C itself

18.01.2022 Please see my statement on our work together in the age of COVID-19

18.01.2022 Relationships work best when all parties involved share core values, not identical ages. Helpful core values can include loyalty, dependability, kindness/compassion, and commitment to a relationship. We all have the need for sharing experiences with someone who has similar interests/experiences and importing/exporting these with someone who is dissimilar. Often, whichever of these needs are primarily met in an intimate relationship, the other needs are met in other relations...hips. Those in age-disparate relationships might have more things in common than differences, even if they grew up in different generational circumstances. Another quality essential for all relationships, regardless of age, is the ability to communicate our needs, have conflict and resolve conflict adequately. Practicing good communication, asserting needs and resolving conflict can deepen intimacy and are the skills required for an LTR, whatever the ages of those in a relationship.

12.01.2022 Research has shown that a negative event (such as your partner rehashing an old fight) typically has at least three times the impact of a comparable positive event (such as your partner recalling one of your past kindnesses). To keep love alive, bear a rough guideline in mind that we call the Rule of Four: Four good things are necessary to overcome one bad thing. Given the nonstop negativity in the news, people will need lots of positivity in their personal lives to compensate.

11.01.2022 Warning: Please do not stop your anti-depressants without talking to your Drs. The evidence for them (as a treatment for major depressive disorder) maybe week but everyone is different and they maybe essential for your mental well-being. Also remember coming off anti-depressant can be dangerous and lead to rebound depression.... this article only looks at anti-depressants for major depressive disorder not the many other reasons anti-depressant are prescribed ....

11.01.2022 Finally, its a good time to stock up on compassion. Everyone will have different levels of fear and grief and it manifests in different ways. A coworker got very snippy with me the other day and I thought, Thats not like this person; thats how theyre dealing with this. Im seeing their fear and anxiety. So be patient. Think about who someone usually is and not who they seem to be in this moment.

10.01.2022 The most interesting data-driven fact about connection is that it has nothing to do with the number of friends you hang out with, connections on Facebook or the amount of community groups to which you belong. If youre a loner or an introvert, you can still reap the benefits. How is that possible? A sense of connection is internal: Researchers agree that the benefits of connection are actually linked to your subjective sense of connection. In other words, if you feel connect...ed to others on the inside, you reap the benefits thereof! Ever felt lonely in a crowd or a group of your own acquaintances? In the same way, it is possible to feel connected in a group of strangers. That is good news. While many of us cannot always control the number of friends we have, one thing we can take responsibility for is the state of our mind. Even if youre isolated and alone at home, you can generate feelings of connection to others and reap the health benefits thereof. For example, you can try Loving-Kindness Meditation here, which our research has shown increases our feeling of connection to strangers in just a few minutes. See more

02.01.2022 In fact, many who experience traumasuch as being diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness, losing a loved one, or experiencing sexual assaultnot only show incredible resilience but actually thrive in the aftermath of the traumatic event. Studies show that the majority of trauma survivors do not develop PTSD, and a large number even report growth from their experience. Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun coined the term posttraumatic growth to capture this phenomeno...n, defining it as the positive psychological change that is experienced as a result of the struggle with highly challenging life circumstances. These seven areas of growth have been reported to spring from adversity: Greater appreciation of life Greater appreciation and strengthening of close relationships Increased compassion and altruism The identification of new possibilities or a purpose in life Greater awareness and utilization of personal strengths Enhanced spiritual development Creative growth To be sure, most people who experience posttraumatic growth would certainly prefer to have not had the trauma, and very few of these domains show more growth after trauma compared to encountering positive life experiences. Nevertheless, most people who experience posttraumatic growth are often surprised by the growth that does occur, which often comes unexpectedly, as the result of an attempt at making sense of an unfathomable event.
