Invalidation: The Abused Childs Greatest Pain

To be validated as a child is highly important in creating a functional and psychologically healthy adult. When this validation is not received and a child is invalidated, it can lead to all kinds of problems If a child is abused in some way, one of the most important things, if not the most important, is for the individual to be validated and acknowledged for what happened in their childhood. In order for what has happened to be healed and processed the individual will need to be acknowledged and validated for their story. Acknowledgement And Validation

Anger: Why Don't Some People Get Angry When They Need To?

While there are many examples in people’s private’s lives and in the world at large of anger that is openly expressed and out of control, there is another dynamic that is often overlooked and this is because it is not as easy to recognise. This is when one should get angry and express how they feel, but instead of doing this they end up denying how they feel. It then becomes hidden from them and typically ends up being repressed.

Critical Thinking: A Closer Look At The ‘I Speak My Truth in #MyCalvins’ Advert

In the latest ad campaign by Calvin Klein, so-called celebrities are talking about how they speak their truth in their Calvin’s. A number of the people in the video say “I speak my truth in my Calvin’s.” Now, if someone hadn’t heard of Calvin Klein underwear before, they might feel the need to get their hands on some. Not only might one of their favourite celebrity/s have been featured in the ad, but this underwear could seem to be extremely powerful. A Special Suit

People Pleasing: Why Do Some People Always Try To Please Others?

While trying to please others can be something everyone does from time to time, for others, it is the focus of their lives. What this person wants from life as whole or what they want to do from moment to moment is then secondary. The needs and wants of others are far more important than their own wants and needs. And perhaps this person has completely lost touch with their own needs, wants and desires, through becoming consumed by what others want. A Way Of Life

Relationships: Why Are Some Men Needy?

There are many descriptions that can be used when it comes to how one goes about getting their needs met. While some are called needy, others are often called needless. However, no matter how one is described: what is clear is that everyone has needs. To be human means that we have needs. And for the person in the middle of these two extremes; this means behaving in a way that allows for these needs to be met in an empowered and functional way. The Two Extremes

Relationships: Should Someone Try To Rekindle A Friendship?

It is often said that one’s friends are the family they choose, and this is why someone can feel as close to their fiends as they can to their family. In some instances, the connection one has with their friends could be greater than the connection they have with their family. When this happens, it could be a sign that one doesn’t have much of a connection with their family, and this can then cause them to see their friends in a different light. They are then not just fiends; they are far more important. Appreciation

Critical Thinking: Does The Establishment Want To Destroy The Western World?

For at least a number of decades, people in the west have been told that they need to stop having as many children due to ‘overpopulation’. This is a message that has been expressed directly and indirectly. Over the years, there have been plenty of people in the west that have heeded this advice. This has meant that some people have only had one child, while others haven’t had any children. Two Parts

Critical Thinking: Are Some Men’s Lives Being Ruined By OnlyFans?

For many, many years now, it has been relatively easy for a man to access adult content. The only thing that he has needed is a device and an internet connection, with this giving him the ability to view an endless amount of pictures and videos. In recent years, however, a man can not only view pictures and videos of women doing different things, but he can also talk to these women for a certain fee. As a result of this, he can now have a virtual girlfriend experience. One Step Further

Mother-Enmeshed Men: Why Would A Mother-Enmeshed Man Lose Himself When He Is In A Relationship?

Now that a man is in a relationship, he might be very different to how he was before. When he was single, he might have been aware of certain needs and done what he could to take care of them. However, although he will still have needs, he could typically act as though he doesn’t have any or only a few. So, regardless of what he did for himself before, he will have more or less turned his back on himself. An Automatic Response

Addiction: Can Toxic Shame Lead To Addiction?

If one was to hear the word ‘addiction’, there is a strong chance they would start to think about an alcoholic or a drug addict. This is not because it is impossible to be addicted to anything else; it is because of how addiction is often portrayed in today’s world. As a result of this, it is easy for people who are hooked on these substances to feel bad and for people who are hooked on other things to feel good. One person is then seen as a problem to society and the other is seen as a vital part of society. Appearances

Is Inspired Action An Important Part Of The Manifestation Process?

After becoming clear about what it is that they want to attain, or experience, someone may believe that the next step will be for them to have the right thoughts. Through ‘thinking positive’, what they desire will show up. If they have this outlook, it is likely to show that they have been following the law of attraction teachings. According to these teachings, the key will be for them to have the right thoughts so that they can ‘attract’ what they want into their life. The Cause

Self-Development: Is Being Curious An Important Part Of Being Able To Heal?

If one had a TV that stopped working, there is a strong chance that they would want to know why. This comes down to the fact that if they were to simply ignore it, they wouldn’t be able to watch anything. Being curious about what is taking place is then going to have a positive effect on their life, and this is not something that will cause them to experience pain. If it did, it could be because they will have to end up paying money in order for it to be fixed, and this will cause them to experience discomfort. Not As Bad

Relationships: Is It Normal For Someone To Have Low Self-Esteem After They Have Left An Abusive Relationship?

While some people are going to be used to having relationships that are fulfilling, there are going to be others who are not. In this case, someone could find that they have the tendency to end up with people who are not right for them. A Mismatch This is not to say that they will treat them badly; what it comes down to is that they are not going to be on the same page, so to speak. They may find that there are times when someone looks right, or has the level of intelligence that they desire, for instance.

Early Deprivation: Is Self-Hate Passed Down From One Generation To Another?

If someone were to take a step back and reflect on their life, what they might find is that they find it hard to feel good about themselves. What could stand out, if they were to take a closer look at how they feel during these moments, is that they feel worthless, unlovable and deeply ashamed. If they don’t feel very low, it could be because they are doing something that allows them to avoid how they feel. This can mean that they will have the tendency to be in doing mode and will rarely take the time to just be. A Natural outcome

Service: Are Some People Too Undeveloped To Be Of Service To Others?

It has been said that someone’s younger years are a time when their caregivers are there to serve them and their adult years are a time when it is down to them to serve others. This could be seen as something that makes sense. As a child, someone is in an undeveloped state and this is why they need to receive a lot in order to develop in the right way. Through receiving what they need, there will come a time when they are ready to give back. An Analogy

Needs: Why Would A Parent Cause Their Child To Lose Touch With Their Needs?

Now that someone is an adult, they could typically ignore a number of their needs. But, if this is just what is normal, they might not be aware of this. If so, apart from their basic needs, most if not all of their other needs will seldom be met. To be specific, they can generally take care of their need to sleep, eat, and have the right clothing, for instance, but their need to be seen and heard, receive affection and relax, for instance, could generally be overlooked.

As a result of this, they can look like a whole human being from the outside but it doesn’t mean that they are whole on the inside.

This part of them could have the tendency to produce negative thoughts and to continually construct negative scenarios. For as long as they can remember, this part of them may have tormented them.

Powerless: Are Some People Addicted To Feeling Powerless?

One of the reasons why someone would get into self-development is because they feel powerless. As a result of this, they are going to be looking for a way to change how they feel so that they can change their life. Part of them, then, is going to realise that they are not powerless, which is why they have reached out for guidance. If every part of their being was on board with this, there would have been no reason for them to have reached out for support. Not the Truth

Right now, someone may be in an intimate relationship and while this may be something that they have wanted to experience for quite some time, it doesn’t mean that they are finding it easy. Instead, they could find that they are finding it harder and harder to be present and to stay connected to how they feel. As a result of this, they will experience a fair amount of pressure and stress. Along with this, there will be how their partner responds to what is going on, and how they respond will largely depend on the inner wounds they are carrying. The Law of Resonance

For some people, it will be hard for them to accept that someone would be able to hide themselves when they are around others. In their eyes, this will be seen as something that could only take place if they were away from others. Here, someone would be away from others and this would prevent their fellow human beings from being able to see them. So, in this instance, they would definitely be hiding from other people.

Always Right: Can Toxic Shame Cause Someone To Believe They Are Always Right?

There are going to be times in someone’s life where they are right and there are going to be times when they are wrong. If human beings were all-knowing, then this wouldn’t be something that would occur. However, as it is not possible for someone to know everything there is to know, there are going to be times when they are wrong. This is not something for one to be ashamed of; it is simply part of life. Yet, although this is the case, it doesn’t mean that one is able to accept this fact. And as a result of this, it can cause someone to come across as though they are always right.

For example, if someone is at university or has been there, they could spend a lot of time talking about this.
