Critical Thinking: Is It A Surprise That Some Women Who Were Abused As Children End Up As Porn Stars?

Recently, a porn star committed suicide, and this was said to be due to the abuse that she received online. Based on this, it could be said that the people who abused her online were responsible for her death. The Trolls This is then an example of what can happen when someone is treated badly on social media. What this shows is that the saying, ‘sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me‘, is not completely true.

Porn: Does Porn Have A Negative Effect On Men And Women?

If someone wanted to relieve themselves sexually in the past, they may have had a magazine or a paper to look through. This probably would have meant that at least one person would have seen them buy it. There is the chance that this was not something that bothered them, or it might not have fazed them. And once they were no longer interested in a magazine/paper, they would need to go through the whole process again. It’s All Changed

Critical Thinking: Are Men’s Lives Being Destroyed By Porn And Glamour Models?

Nowadays, it is incredibly easy for a man to view porn, and if he wants, he can also keep it light and check out different glamour models. The former can take place by going to certain video sites, while the latter can take place by using social media. One way for a man to see both of these options would be to say that they are both harmless, and that neither of them will have much of an effect on their life. After all, it is not as though they are harming anyone by viewing these kinds of things. A Buffet

Mother-Enmeshed Men: Can A Mother-Enmeshed Man Be Addicted To Porn?

If a man is in a position where practically his whole life revolves around his mother, it is likely to show that he doesn’t feel comfortable with his own needs. Along with this, he is unlikely to even be in touch with his own needs. Therefore, he will be out of balance but he won’t realise this. But, even if he does realise this, he probably won’t feel comfortable doing anything about it, and he probably won’t believe that he can do anything about it either. Self-Neglect

Early Deprivation: Can Early Deprivation Cause A Man To Be Addicted To Porn?

At this point in time, a man could be in a position where practically his whole life revolves around viewing porn. Therefore, if he is not working or spending time with friends, for instance, he could be viewing it. Then again, there could be moments when he views it when he is at work. If so, this is likely to have a negative impact on his ability to focus and perform at his best. Caught Up

Addictions: Are Addictions A Bad Thing?

When it comes to current societal problems, the word addiction is often mentioned. And there are certain things that are generally spoken about, when it comes to what people are addicted to. These are often: drugs, alcohol and gambling for instance. And due to the exposure that these addictions have received over the years, they have become the symbols of addiction. This has lead to varying degrees of stigma being attached to them. However, even though one can clearly become addicted to these things; there are also many other things that one can become addicted to.

Celebrities: Are Some Celebrities Hypocrites?

When it comes to a famous actor or singer, for instance, it could be said that their purpose is either to act or to sing. This is then no different to how a plumber or an electrician, for instance, is going to have their own purpose. Now, this is not to say that a singer or an actor won’t do anything else in life, as they are bound to have other interests. And the same can be said if someone is a plumber or an electrician.

Addiction: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Have Addictive Personalities?

While some people are able to drink alcohol or even take drugs without their whole life being taken over, there are others who are not able to exercise the same level of self-control. If they were to drink or to even take drugs, they would soon find that their life has been taken over. One is then unable to go a day without drinking and/or taking drugs and they have then lost their self-control. But while it would be easy to say that these are the people who have problems and the people who don’t drink or use drugs are fine, this would be far from the truth. Addicts

Early Deprivation: Can Early Deprivation Cause Someone To Emotionally Abandon Themselves?

Although someone has emotional needs, it doesn’t mean that they will be aware of these needs let alone do what they can to meet them. If this is the case, these needs are largely not going to be met. When it comes to their emotional needs, this will relate to their need to be seen, heard, supported, encouraged and loved, amongst other things. As these needs are typically not going to be met, it is going to have a negative impact on them. One Outcome

Mother Wounds: Can A Mother’s Fear Of The Masculine Cause Her To Emasculate Her Son?

In general, a man could be passive, easy-going, not stand up for himself or be assertive. Consequently, he is seldom going to take action, express his opinion, stand his ground or assert himself. Most likely, this is going to stop him from being able to live a fulfilling life. For example, he can have a job that is not going anywhere and is sole-destroying and he can be in a relationship where he is continually taken advantage of. The Norm

Empathy: Can Embracing Our Pain Lead To A Heightened Sense Of Empathy?

If one was to look back on their time at school or to a time when they were playing sports, they might remember a moment when someone fell over or injured themselves. Now, as they picture this in their mind, they might see that some people laughed and some people didn’t. One way of looking at this would be to say that there were people who stayed in their head and people who went into their heart. When one stays in their head, it can be easy for them to avoid their feelings; just as when one brings their attention into their heart, it will be possible for them to feel another’s pain.

Defense Mechanism: Dissociation

Dissociation is the result of trauma we have experienced in our life. And by dissociating from the intensity of the trauma, we can minimize the suffering caused. With these experiences being subjective in nature and usually extremely overwhelming for the individual, they may however seem insignificant and even trivial to other people in the same situation. Once the event is pushed out of the conscious mind and into the unconscious, it is very often forgotten about. This form of selective amnesia can last for years and even as long as a life time in certain instances.

Emotional Expression: Can The Fear Of Abandonment Stop Someone From Expressing How They Feel?

If someone wanted to explain something to another person, there are a number of ways for them to do so. It could be said that the most important thing will be for them to use words, as this will allow them to be understood. In addition to this, they can use their body and their emotions. Now, these two parts are clearly not essential, but what they will do is bring what they have to say to life. A Big Difference

Healing: Can Someone’s Unmet Developmental Needs Stop Them From Being Able To Heal?

If someone is suffering both mentally and emotionally, and certain areas of their life are not going in the right direction, they can end up reaching out for support. Assuming that this takes place, they can find a therapist or healer to work with. What this will show is that they no longer want to experience life in this way and want to move forward. Now, when they work with someone, this can be a time when they will change what is going on in their mind. Another Level

Mother Enmeshed Men: Does A Man Need To Have Breakdown To Realise He Is A Mother Enmeshed Man?

In order for an issue to be resolved, it needs to be clear that there is an issue. Naturally, if this is not the case, it won’t be possible for anything to be done and the issue is likely to get even worse. With this in mind, if man’s mother is the centre of his world and he does what he can to please her and, thereby, neglects himself, he will need to do something different. The trouble is that this is likely to just be what is normal. Totally Oblivious

Letting Go Of The Fear Of Being Seen Won’t Happen Ove ight

What someone may find, after being on the path of self-discovery for a little while, is that they have a fear of being seen. This is not to say that they will isolate themselves from others and never leave their home. No, what it is likely to mean is that they will spend time around others but that their true-self will rarely, if ever, see the light of day. So when they are around their friends and at work, for instance, they will typically wear a mask. Freedom

Imposter Syndrome: Why Do Some High Achievers Feel Like Imposters?

Although someone could be in a position where they have achieved a lot in one area of their life or a number of areas, it doesn’t mean that they feel comfortable with their current level of success. What they may find, that’s if they were able to take a step back, is that it’s as though they are living a life that doesn’t belong to them. If one area of their life is going very well, there is a strong chance that they have worked hard to get to where they are. However, what they have done and continue to do won’t have an effect on how they feel. An Analogy

If a man is emotionally entangled with his mother, he is going to spend a lot of time being there for his mother and supporting her. It will be as if his sole purpose is to be there for her and to take care of her needs. He could create the impression that he doesn’t have needs, or has a few basic needs and that’s about it. His mother is then going to receive a lot of his life force and time and he will deprive himself of both of these things. Self-Neglect

Passive: Can Developmental Trauma Cause Someone To Be Passive?

While there is a time to be and a time to do, someone could be in a position where they find it hard to get things done. It could take a lot for them to get moving and when they do move, it could typically be because they have to. For example, if they didn’t have to go to work, they could simply stay in bed, and if they were not hungry, they could stay sitting down. What is clear is that they won’t have much energy or drive.

If We Only Focus On What People Have Achieved, We Will Overlook What They Have Overcome!

At the beginning of last year, I shared a quote about how someone can overlook what another person has overcome if they only focus on what they have achieved. The main reaso I had created this quote was due to how people had responded to me, when I went into what I did in the past. After I left school I didn’t have a clear plan, and a few years after I left, I ended up getting into self-development. A lot of my time and energy went into trying to understand myself and working through my own baggage. The Years Went By

Neglect: What Can Happen If Someone Was Neglected As A Child?

If someone was abused as a child, it might be possible for them to see that their childhood was anything but nurturing. However, if they were neglected during this stage of their life, this might not be possible. The reason for this is that when it comes to abuse, someone might be able to see that they were hit or put down, for instance. Yet, when it comes to neglect, one might not be able to think of anything bad that took place. A Forgotten Time

Self-Image: Do People Become Irrelevant When They Get Older?

In today’s world, there is often more attention is given to people who are at the beginning of their life than there is to those who are going towards the end of it. Yet, it might be more accurate to say that people are often overlooked before they even get to this stage. Youth What this partly shows is how much attention is given to all that is new, and when something is old (or older), it can be seen as having no value. This is not only something that applies to people; it also applies to material objects.

Masculine And Feminine: Why Do Some People Find It Hard To Embrace Both Sides?

Physically men and women are very different; with a woman being an example of the feminine and a man being an example the masculine. But while this much is true, on the inside they are both made of masculine and feminine traits. And for a long time, men generally behaved in ways that were masculine and women behaved in ways that were feminine. However, as time has passed, women have become more masculine and men have become more feminine in some cases.

Family Constellations: Why Would Someone Be Drawn To Family Constellation Therapy?

Letting Go: Can Trapped Emotions Stop Someone From Letting Go?

Life is constantly changing and never stays the same. But while this is the truth about reality, it doesn’t mean that letting go and going with the flow of life is necessarily easy or straightforward. The outer world is constantly changing and transforming, and yet the inner world and what is going on within someone can create resistance to this. And when this happens and there is a resistance to what is taking place, life can become a real challenge. One is then out of alignment and no longer present and responding to life in real time.

Therapy: Why Do Some Therapists Want To Save Others?

In today’s world, there are so many things that one can do, and this can cause them to be overwhelmed. This is why it is not always a ‘good’ thing for one to have more things to choose from. Having more choice can make it even harder for one to know what they want to do; whereas if they only had a certain amount of choices, it could be far easier for them to decide. However, if one was to go back in time, they may come into contact with people who felt restricted by the choices that were available. Another Outlook
