Child Abuse: Can Someone Feel Guilty For Living Their Own Life If They Had A Manipulative Parent?

If someone takes a step back and reflects on their life, what they can see is that they often do things that they don’t want to do. So, they can have the tendency to say yes when they would rather say no. As a result of this, they are going to spend a lot of time doing things that don’t serve them. They could see that they have been this way for as long as they can remember and are now at the point, where they have had enough. A Closer Look

Weight: Is It Good Or Bad To Comment On Someone's Weight?

In the past, it was generally women who were conce ed about their weight, and this is partly because of how much pressure they had to face. Men on the other hand, were not under the same amount of pressure. However, this has all changed, and while it could be said that the amount of pressure on women has increased, the pressure has only just started to build for men. On one side, this has encouraged them to look after themselves, but on the other side, it has set them up to experience the same problems as women. Healthy

Mother-Enmeshed Men: Why Would A Mother-Enmeshed Man Discard A Woman?

If a man is caught up in his mother’s world, he might not have the time or energy to be in a relationship with a woman. Then again, he might have had a number of relationships over the years. So, if he is not in a relationship, it might not be long until he is in one. After speaking to a woman for a little while on a dating app or in the real world that he is attracted to, he could go on a date and it might not be long until he is seeing the woman. The Next Phase

Relationships: Is It Good Or Bad To See The Best In People?

While there are some people in the world who always try to see the best in others, there are also people who always try to see the worst in others. In their eyes, the outlook they have could be seen as best one to have. Through having a different outlook, it is likely to mean that their experience of life will be radically different. The reason for this is that one is not simply an observer of their reality; they are having an effect on their experience. Feedback

True-Self: Do Some Peoples Childhoods Set Them Up To Be Preoccupied With Feeling Safe?

It is often believed that self-esteem is the defining factor when it comes to how someone experiences life. So, if someone has a good amount of it there life will be fulfilling; whereas if they don’t their life won’t be. On one side will be someone who is living a life that is deeply rewarding, while on the other will be someone who is simply going through the motions. One of them will be living in heaven and the other will be living in hell. A Snapshot

False Self: Can Someone Need To Let Go Of Their Parents Projections If They Were Abused As A Child?

When it comes to how someone experiences life, how they see themselves will have a big impact. However, they might not even think about how they see themselves and, even if they do, this could just be seen as who they are. If, then, they have an empowering view of themselves, this is not going to matter. But, if they have a disempowering view of themselves, it is likely to mean that they won’t have a very fulfilling life. Stepping Back

“We've Had A Complaint!”

Whilst my father was in hospital, towards the end of 2011, I was working somewhere where I had the opportunity to speak to a lot of people. When I first started working there, there were a number of things that I enjoyed. There were a number of people who I got on well with, and then there were the people who I spoke to each day. The manager wasn’t too bad either; generally, he was easy-going and fair. A Big Difference

Relationships: Should Relationships Be Easy?

There are all kinds of ideas in the world as to how a relationship should be. These ideas are often shaped by popular culture, from influences such as Disney or Hollywood films. And by taking on board these perspectives, some people can come to expect relationships to be easy and straight forward. And once this outlook has taken root in one’s mind, it will often define ones relational behaviour. Through this, one is likely to have a low tolerance for relationships that are not effortless and require work or commitment.

How Do You Develop Courage?

The other day I was looking through a book called, ‘How to Survive Without Psychotherapy’ by David Smail. From what I read, it was clear that this was someone who was not too keen on the type of approach that is often taken when it comes to mental and emotional problems. He didn’t like the fact that so much weight was put on the individual, when the reason they were not in a good way was largely because of the society that they lived in. Putting the onus solely on the individual was seen as something that wasn’t good for their mental health either. Another Part

Celebrities: Why Are Some People Obsessed With Celebrities?

For some time I have been reflecting on and thinking about what causes the obsession with celebrities. So here is my current outlook on what I believe is going on. Today's Society In today's society celebrities are often worshiped and are objects of obsession for many people. And it doesn't matter what these celebrity's do; for in today's world they don't need to have achieved or done anything. Just by the mere fact of being famous is more than enough for some people.

Relationships: Has Someone Moved On If They Are In A New Relationship?

When a relationship comes to an end, it can be a sign that it has run its course; consequently, each person can be happy to move on with their life. What this could show is that they had been having problems for quite some time. It was then only a matter of time before their time together came to an end and they both went their separate ways. Now that it is over, it is likely to have a positive effect on their wellbeing. A New Start

Self-Punishment: Is Kayce From Yellowstone Punishing Himself?

In the article that I wrote about Yellowstone titled, ‘Can Someone Learn About Enmeshment By Watching Yellowstone?’, I briefly spoke about John’s youngest son, Kayce. I said that he was a loose cannon, and, in addition to the drama in his life, he was inches away from being killed or ending up in prison. Additionally, I said, amongst other things, that the endless fights and dramas that he has are no doubt a partly replay of how it was for him as a child. This was the conclusio I came to after having watched eight episodes of the first season. A Deeper Look

Hate: Is Hate Good Or Bad?

While there are certain emotional responses that are seen as appropriate, there are others that are not seen in the same way. As a result of this, it can then be normal for people to have moments where they ignore how they feel. It could also go a step further than this, and this means that they could be in a position where they are not even aware of how they feel. This comes down to the fact that when one stops themselves from experiencing one emotion; they can end up losing contact with every other emotion. On The Surface

I Believe In You

Perhaps you are going through a challenging time right now or maybe your life has been tough for a while. Either way, a big part of you may wonder if you have what it takes to move forward. So even if a small part of you believes that you do have what it takes, this part of you won’t exert much influence over your life. The part of you that doubts that you have what it takes is then going to have the most influence. An Important Question

Greatness: Do Only Some People Have Greatness?

There are both general and specific ideas and opinions around what greatness is. And what will form these ideas and opinions will be influenced by the age that one lives in, the society they are raised in and what one values themselves. This can range from the current societal models, such as: footballers, musicians, writers and actors. In the media these are often held up as the ultimate forms of greatness. And when it comes down to day to day experiences, one might think of other examples of greatness. These could range from: firemen, doctors, therapists, teachers or nurses for example.r

Relationships: Does Rescuing Others Keep Them Stuck?

At times, one is going to feel the need to help another; either through someone asking for help or as a result of one offering their hand without being asked. And as human beings need help from time to time, it is good thing that there are people like this in the world. To help another person as a one off or to help someone on the odd occasion is likely to make a positive difference in another person’s life. However, if one is constantly ‘helping’ the same person, it could be doing more harm than good.

Critical Thinking: Would The World Be Better If It Was Run By Women?

Over the years, numerous people have said that the world would be a far better place if it was no longer run men. In their eyes, a world run by women would lead to a world that is far better for everyone. When someone has this view, they can see men as being one way and women as being another way. It can be as though men are aggressive, violent, competitive and destructive, whilst women are empathetic, harmonious, cooperative and constructive. The Obvious Solution

Instead, if he does think about how he behaves, he can believe that he is doing the right thing and even feel proud. Also, some of the people in his life could say, in one way or another, that he is living in the right way. A Closed System

Being Seen: Can Developmental Trauma Cause Someone To Believe That They Have To Hide In Order To Survive?

In general, one could feel as though they don’t exist, and this is not going to be because they won’t have a pulse. No, it will be due to the fact that they will rarely feel seen and heard and what they do in life might not have much of an impact. So, when they are around others, they could often be ignored and people could look right through them. As a result of this, they will know what it is like to feel invisible and as though they are not real. One Area

Child Abuse: What Beliefs Can Someone Have About Their True-Self If They Were Abused As A Child?

One thing that can happen, that’s if one was abused and/or neglected as a child, is that they may have disconnected from their true-self. Due to what took place, they can believe that they have to hide who they are. Therefore, while living in this way will stop them from being able to be an authentic human being and to fully show up in life, it can be seen as the only way for them to survive. Now, this could be something that one is acutely aware of or it could be something that is just outside of their awareness. One Experience

It is often said that when one wants something it is never there and yet when they don’t want it, it ends up appearing. However, while this can relate to something physical, it is also something that can relate to one’s personality. For example, one can be in a position where they have come to the conclusion that they are out of balance. The Reason

Relationships: Why Do Some Men Feel Powerless With Women?

It is a human need to feel a sense of power; with the most important power of all said to be based around having a sense of personal power. This is more of an inner power, where one is generally in control of themselves, as opposed to being in control of others. And when it comes to the area of relationships between men and women, it is vital that a man feels a sense of empowerment when it comes to attracting, relating to and being with a woman. Just as it is equally important for a woman to feel this way when it comes to relating to a man.

If a man is depressed, it doesn’t mean that he will be able to fully accept this. He can then do just about everything that he can to hide what is really on for him from both himself and others. One of the ways that he can do this is by more or less always being on the go and being focused on achieving things. Additionally, he can do what he can to create a certain image in order to receive positive feedback from others. A Barrier

What a man may find, if he were to step back and reflect on his life, is that he often feels worthless, down and even has moments when he thinks about ending his life. He might see that he has only started to feel this way in recent years, or he might see that he has been this way for as long as he can remember. Now, he might decide to keep this to himself, or he might reach out to a trusted friend. If he does reach out and talks about what is going on for him, his friend could be very understanding and supportive. Exte al Support

“I Didn’t Feel Safe Enough To Cry!”

When I first started to face the emotional pain that was within me, in 2013, I didn’t feel comfortable expressing my emotions. So, when I was working with a therapist, it was a challenge for me to express what was going on for me. What didn’t help was that I had chosen to work with a female therapist; it wasn’t that I had anything against women. The trouble was that the person who has caused me to the most harm when I was growing up was my mother. Two Sides
