Child Abuse: Is It Clear To See That Abusive Parents Were Also Abused By Their Parents?

If someone was to see that they were abused as a child, they can struggle with two questions. Firstly, they can wonder why their own parents treated them so badly, and secondly, they can wonder why their parents would repeat what was done to them. These two questions can consume their mind a little while after they have started to heal themselves. The reason for this is that for a number of years, they might not have even realised that they were abused. Protection

Sadness: Can Early Deprivation Cause Someone To Carry A Lot Of Sadness?

What someone may find, if they were to step back and reflect on their life, is that they often feel down and low. For most of their life, this may have been something that they have typically been able to cover up. Now, though, it could be a lot harder for them to do this and this might make them wonder what is going on. What could enter their mind is that they suffer from depression and there is then something wrong with them. Looking Back

Relationships: Is It Harder For Someone To Leave An Abusive Relationship If They Feel Worthless?

If someone was to end up in a relationship that is abusive, there are at least two things that they can do. They can end up cutting their ties and moving on, or they can put up with what is taking place. If they end up drawing the line and decide to move on, it will be clear that they are not willing to tolerate this kind of behaviour. It might have been as if something within them came to life and caused them to assert themselves. An Analogy

Critical Thinking: Why Do Some People Swallow Everything The Mainstream Media Comes Out With?

In recent years, the mainstream media’s power has waned but that doesn’t mean that there are not a lot of people who still pay attention to this source of information. Some of the people who look towards this source to tell what is going on will be in the latter stages of their life, while there will be others who will be at the beginning of their life.

Boundaries: Can A Lack Of Boundaries Cause Someone To Hide?

On one side, there are said to be people who like to spend a lot of time around others, and on the other side, there are said to be people who don’t. Another way of looking at this would be to say that there are introverts and extroverts. But while some people will see themselves in this way; there are also going to be people who don’t. If they were asked how they would describe themselves, they might not be able to identity with either of them. A Bit of Both

Success: Can Toxic Shame Stop Someone From Being Successful?

If one was to ask a group of people what their favourite country is, they are unlikely to hear the same answer over and over again. One person might enjoy going to Australia, while another may enjoy going to Mexico, for instance. What this partly shows is how different people are, and how they appreciate different cultures. One country could then fit one persons needs, but it might not fit another person’s needs.

Relationships: Can A Relationship End Before Two People Hate Each Other?

When a relationship gets to a point where it is no longer working, each person is likely to feel different to how they felt in the beginning. When they spend time in each others company, they could be thinking about how long it will be until their time together will come to an end. However, during this time they may not have a lot of time to think, and this is because they could spend a lot of time arguing. Their emotions will then be running high and so they may find it hard to think clearly. Blame

Social Media: Does Social Media Allow People To Create Their Own Shrine?

If one was to go into a populated area in the west and to ask a number of people if they are religious, they may find that a common theme begins to appear. This could be a time when they will that see that not many people believe in or worship a god or a number of gods. A Strange Reaction There is also the chance that a number of the people who were asked found it strange to even be asked this question. It would then have been clear that this is not something that remotely interests them.

You Are Depressed Because Your Life Lacks Meaning!

Over the years I have heard a number of people say that the only reason someone would be depressed is because their life lacks meaning. I even heard a yoga teacher come out with the same view. But before I go into what my thoughts are on this, I will go along with what these people believed. It could be said that there is no denying the fact that, if someone’s life lacks meaning, they can experience a number of symptoms that are associated with being depressed. Nothing to Live For

To All Those Working Through Their Inner Wounds, I Salute You!

A little while ago, I heard from someone who had had a childhood that was anything but nurturing. This was someone who I hadn’t seen for a number of years. Although I didn’t know much about them, I was still surprised when they told me this. What surprised me even more, though, was that this was someone who was actually healing themselves.

Early Deprivation: Can The Fear Of Abandonment Stop A Man From Being Able To Assert Himself?

What a man may find, if he were to step back and reflect on how he behaves, is that it is hard for him to stand up for and express himself. In fact, he might see that this is something that seldom takes place. As a result of this, it will be normal for him to be mistreated and to do what other people want. The outcome of this is that he will typically turn his back on himself, which will cause him to suffer. One Area

Psychic Protection Is A Load Of Rubbish!

Whilst I was reading a book about psychic protection, someone basically turned their nose up when they saw the cover. It was clear that this person believed that what I wasn’t reading anything worthwhile. I didn’t think much of what they said and carried on reading the book. After a while, something took place that was bound to make this person question their view on this topic, if only for a few seconds. A Moment Later

Fear: What Can Someone Fear If They Had A Traumatic Childhood?

If someone’s early years were brutal, to say the least, it is not going to be a surprise if they are in a bad way now that they are an adult. This could mean that they find it hard to function or they might be able to keep it all together. Either way, living in this way can be what is normal, and they might not even realise why their life is this way. It could seem strange how someone could forget about what took place during this stage of their life. Protection

Relationships: Do Some People Have Sex To Experience Love?

When it comes to being a human being, there are certain needs that each one of us has. And while there can be certain differences between people, these are ones that apply to more or less everyone. But while needs are something that each one of us have, it doesn’t mean that one always feels comfortable with having them. Having needs can feel like a burden and one can end up feeling ashamed for having them.

Shamed-Based Identity: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To Be Shame-Based?

For some people, shame is something that they experience every now and then and, when they do, it typically doesn’t hang around for very long. For others, shame is something that they experience on a regular basis and, when they do, it can typically hang around for a very long time. When it comes to the former, this will just be another feeling that someone experiences. Yet, when it comes to the latter, this won’t just be another feeling that someone experiences; it will be a feeling that is more or less always experienced. A Miserable Existence

Nervous System: Can Childhood Trauma Overwhelm Someone’s Nervous System?

If someone is in a position where they are often all at sea and find it hard to feel at peace, their life is going to be far more difficult than it needs to be. With so much going in within them, they are not going to need to live a stressful life in order to feel stressed. They could then live in the middle of nowhere in a log cabin but they could still find that they rarely feel at ease. On the other hand, if they live in a city, the amount of stimulation that is around them is not going to do them any good. Turned Up

Critical Thinking: Does Humanity Need To Acknowledge Their Own Darkness?

This point in time can be seen as being no different to any other point in human history, inasmuch as there are ‘bad’ people in the world. So, although a lot has changed as time has passed, there is a lot that hasn’t. Thanks to the mainstream media and other sources, it is a lot easier to find out about what ‘bad’ people are doing; whereas in the past, it was a lot easier for people like this to hide their misdeeds.

Relationships: Why Do Some Breakups Hurt Men More Than Women?

In recent studies, men have been shown to suffer more than women when a relationship comes to an end. And while some people would not have been surprised to hear this, for others, it was unexpected and even dismissed. Even though men have emotions just like women, this doesn’t always appear to be the case and they are often portrayed as having an inability to show emotions by women and the media. Men are often stoic and the emotions that they do express are often limited to a few emotions, such as: anger and frustration.

People Pleasing: Is Someone More Likely To Please Others If They Are Emotionally Dependent?

In order for someone to live a fulfilling life, there are going to be at last two things that will need to be in place. On the one hand, they will need to be aware of their needs, and on the other; they will need to feel safe enough to fulfil them. From here, one will have the ability to behave in a way that is in alignment with their true-self. This can then allow them to move towards their goals and to achieve what they want to achieve.

Abandonment: Does The Fear Of Being Abandoned Cause You To Please Others?

When it comes to pleasing others, ideally, this will be a choice and not something one feels they have no control over. If one feels that they always need to please others, it is going to interfere with their ability to listen to their own needs and emotions. And when one feels the need to please others, it could be the result of what is taking place exte ally and internally. If one feels this pressure on the inside, they are likely to project their inner experience onto the outer world.

Father Wounds: Will A Man Come Into Contact With Men That Remind Him Of His Father?

If a man was asked what his father was like when he was growing up, he could end up coming out with a number of different things. One thing that he could say is that he was a solid guy; another thing that he could say was that he was a waste of space. Then again, he could say that he didn’t do a bad job and that could be about as far as it will go. His reaction won’t be filled with emotion either way; it could be described as a muted response.

Loss: Is Time A Great Healer?

There are times when one can experience a loss and it won’t have much of an effect on them, and then there are times when this won’t be the case. And what can define how much of an impact a loss has on them can all depend on their level of emotional attachment. For example, if one had a t-shirt and then they lost it, they are unlikely to end up in a bad place. Yet, if one was in a relationship and then it came to an end, there is a strong chance that they won’t be able to simply carry on with their life. Another Outlook

So instead of having the need to embrace life and to make the most of the life that they have been given, they could feel the need to do very little.

Relationships: Is Someone's View Of The Opposite Sex Created At A Time When They Couldn't Think Clearly?

In the same way that people have different outlooks when it comes to how they perceive different countries, they also have different outlooks when it comes to how they perceive the opposite sex. There will be some people who generally have good things to say about the opposite sex, whilst there will be others who don’t. Confusion If someone was to speak to a number of people who don’t have good things to say, and to a number of people who do, they might wonder what is going on.

There is then going to how they see life and themselves, the thoughts that run through their head, their feelings and how their body responds.

Social Media: Can Social Media Cause People To Create A False-Self?

When someone is in touch with their true-self, it is likely to mean that they are in touch with their true needs and feelings, among others things. These inner aspects will then go onto shape their behaviour, and the idea people have of them can then match up with who they are. However, this can all depend on how close one is to someone, and this is because it is human nature to project onto others. Therefore, the closer one is to someone, the greater chance the other person has of coming into contact with one’s true-self. Two Sides
