25.01.2022 People with anxiety show fundamental differences in perception Research shows that people diagnosed with anxiety are less able to distinguish between a neutral, "safe" stimulus and one that was earlier associated with the threat of loss or gain. In other words, when it comes to emotional experiences, they show a behavioral phenomenon known as over-generalization, the researchers say.... "We show that in patients with anxiety, emotional experience induces plasticity in brain circuits that lasts after the experience is over," says Rony Paz of Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. "Such plastic changes occur in primary circuits that later mediate the response to new stimuli, resulting in an inability to discriminate between the originally experienced stimulus and a new similar stimulus. Therefore, anxiety patients respond emotionally to such new stimuli as well, resulting in anxiety even in apparently irrelevant new situations. Importantly, they cannot control this, as it is a perceptual inability to discriminate." "Anxiety traits can be completely normal, and even beneficial evolutionarily. Yet an emotional event, even minor sometimes, can induce brain changes that might lead to full-blown anxiety," he says. Journal Reference: 1. Laufer et al.

11.01.2022 Maslow’s Pyramid of Needs Revisited Humanistic psychologist, Abraham Maslow outlined a range of needs that is beautifully captured and reframed (in the way Maslow originally conceptualised his work) by Professor Scott Barry Kaufman, in his book Transcend. Kaufman’s aim is to promote the field of humanistic psychology by revisiting and upgrading the work of Abraham Maslow. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which was later turned into a pyramid by a management consultant in the s...ixties (xxix), became famous as a way of understanding both the bare necessities of healthy living as well as higher modes of being such as self-actualization. Kaufman’s research reveals that, toward the end of his life, Maslow realized that self-actualization wasn’t the upper limit of human potential, and became convinced that healthy self-actualization is actually a bridge to transcendence (xiv). Kaufman’s starting point is to examine how best to get people to live more in what Maslow called the Being-Realm, or B-realm for short. This is accomplished primarily by approaching life with a mindset focused on growth rather than deficiency. Kaufman suggests that thinking about one’s life journey as a sailboat (reflected in the figure below) - rather than a pyramid of needs - cutting across a vast ocean can help us access the B-realm with more consistency and ease.
