Neglect: Can Childhood Neglect Cause Someone To Be Developmentally Stunted?

When someone becomes an adult, it will be clear that they are no longer a child. This stage of their life will be over and this will mean that their needs will be different from what they once were. As a child, they would have been dependent on others; whereas now that they are an adult, this will no longer be the case – they will be interdependent. Another way of looking at this would be to say that they would have needed a lot during this time and wouldn’t have been able to give much in return, but now this will have changed. A Time of Receiving

Child Abuse: Can Someone Believe That They Don’t Deserve To Receive Anything If They Were Abused As A Child?

If someone was to step back and to take a closer look at their own life, they may see that their life is out of balance. The reason for this is that they might give a lot but they might rarely receive anything back. Through living in this way, they will almost certainly be used to running on empty. They may have trouble receiving what they need to survive, let alone to thrive, and this is going to cause them to suffer. Covered Up

Empty: Can Developmental Trauma Cause Someone To Feel Empty?

Even if someone feels emotionally empty, it doesn’t mean that they will be consciously aware of it. The reason for this is that this could just be normal, which is why it won’t be something that stands out. However, while this may be the case, they could still be aware of the effects of being this way. When it comes to the effects, they could be only too aware of them. Disconnected

Critical Thinking: Is A Lack Of Individuation One Of The Biggest Problems In Today's World?

Over the years, a lot has been said about the number of people who are suffering from mental and emotional problems. This is something that the mainstream media regularly cover. After the inner part of people’s beings was largely overlooked by mainstream society for so long, this can be seen as an important breakthrough. It has helped to remove a lot of the stigma that was attached to this part of someone’s being; the part that can’t be seen but has a massive effect on their whole life. The First Stage

Individuation: Can Someone Be Reactive When They Haven’t Individuated?

Undoubtedly, if someone has the ability to not be caught up in what is going on around them, their life will be far better than it would be otherwise. They will be able to stay centred and to be the ‘calm in the storm’ so to speak. This will allow them to stay focused on what matters and to do the things that will bring them happiness and fulfilment. Still, this doesn’t mean that they will never be affected by what is going on exte ally; they are human after all. Another Point

Critical Thinking: Is Humanities Existence Under Threat From The Collective Unconscious?

Once something has been pushed out of someone’s conscious mind, it can seem as though it has disappeared. This could be something that takes place in a very short period of time or it could take a little while longer. At one moment in time, then, it will have been there and in the next, it will have gone; or so it will seem. Of course, just because their conscious mind will have lost touch with something, whatever it was, it doesn’t mean that it will have left their being. Two Parts

The Mirror: Is Someone’s Outer World A Reflection Of Their Inner World?

One thing that someone’s ego-mind will do is allow them to have their own experience on this planet. As a result of this, it is possible for them to fulfil their own purpose or mission whilst they are here. In other words, this part of them creates the impression that they are separate from everyone and everything. So, although this allows them to have their own reality, it also leads to a sense of aloneness. The Solution

Critical Thinking: Can Someone Who Is Against Hate Become Hateful?

For quite some time now, a lot has been said in the mainstream media about ‘hate’ and what needs to be done about it. There have also been a number of different things that have taken place to try to deal with it. Along with what is said by this source and the government, there is what individuals are doing to try to make a difference. Thanks to social media, it is far easier than ever before for an individual to mark a difference. More Than Needs the Eye

Critical Thinking: Why Does A Large Part Of Humanity Want A Powerful Leader?

In most, if not all, countries around the world, there is a government that is in control of what happens. Or, according to some people in the world, just appears to be in control of what happens. Anyway, this government will have a main leader, and this person will be responsible for the decisions that are made. Quite simply, then, when things go right, this person will look good, and, when things go wrong, this person will look bad. An Elevated Position

Individuation: Can Developmental Trauma Stop Someone From Being Able To Individuate?

Physically, someone will be separate from others, but that doesn’t mean that they will act as though they are separate from them. Instead, they could have the tendency to act like an extension of others. What this means is that they will typically be a follower as opposed to a leader and will practically always go along to get along. To use an analogy; it is like they will be the driver of a car and they can drive anywhere but they will have the inclination to follow other cars. The Norm

Consciousness: Does A Large Part Of Humanity Feel Comfortable Being Enslaved?

At the height of the pandemic, it wasn’t possible for a lot of people to live as they usually would. This was a time when so many people had to isolate themselves from others and were only able to go out for the basics and perhaps to work, that’s if they were a key worker, for instance. As time passed, most of the restrictions were lifted and life more or less went back to normal. What played a part in this was a vaccine that was initially positioned as something that would stop people from contracting the virus. Another Experience

“We’re In Some Sort Of Shared Hallucination” – Part One

After I had watched what I would describe as a normal Arrow episode, the next episode ended up being another crossover episode titled “Invasion!” I thought this was well-made and shook things up a bit. Since that time, I have thought about what happened in this episode, and I think it is actually very deep. I think that what the five characters go through is essentially what happens in the ‘real world’. The Story

There are still groups of people who want someone or something to save them and there are individuals in the same position. Two Areas

Mother-Enmeshed Men: Will A Mother-Enmeshed Man Feel Free After His Mother Has Passed On?

As a man, who is entangled with his mother, can be like his mother's slave, it may seem as though he will only be free if she passes on. Based on this, once this has taken place, he will be free to live his own life. Now, there is the chance that a man in this position will also feel this way. He can believe that the only way he will be able to live his own life is if his mother passes on, and part of him might even want her to pass on. Hard To Accept

Irrespective of whether it relates to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom or the president of America, there is no shortage of people who don’t like the person who is the leader of their country. Of course, there are people that do or these individuals wouldn’t be where they are. But, while there are people that do like the leader of their country, it can seem as though most people don’t. Along with the views that the citizenry have, there are the views that the mainstream media have. Manufactured Consent

Mother Enmeshed Men: Is Mother-Enmeshed Man Destined To Have A Breakdown?

Although a man can come across as needless and create the impression that he is happy to be there for his mother, this is likely to be nothing more than a facade. The truth is that he will have needs and abandoning himself is going to causing him to suffer. However, he will deny his own needs and he won’t acknowledge how he truly feels; this is why he will be able to behave in this way. It won’t be that he is consciously choosing to be in denial, though; as he won’t even be aware of what is going on. Hidden

Mother-Enmeshed Men: Does A Woman Need To Realise That She Lives In A Mirror If She Ends Up With Mother-Enmeshed Men?

For a woman to have been with one man who was caught up in his mother’s world would have been tough, but, to have been with a number of men who were like this will have been even worse. Assuming that she has been in this position more than once, she might have decided to turn her back on this area of her life. If she has, this can be seen as a natural reaction to how depriving and painful this area of her life has been. Ultimately she won’t want to go through anything like this again and focusing on other areas will be a way for her to protect herself. A Stage

Although a man will be a separate being, if he is enmeshed to his mother, it will be as though he is merely an extension of her. He will then look separate from her but he won’t act like he is separate from her. This could be something that hasn’t even crossed his mind, which will show now normal it is for him to be there for his mother and to focus on her needs. As for his own needs, he could typically be out of touch with most of them. A Tiring Existence

They may see that, in general, this is something that just happens. It is then not going to be something that they always think about doing; it will often take place automatically.

Critical Thinking: What Would A Repression-Informed Society Look Like?

It is not uncommon for the average person, and even for those who are working in the area of ‘mental health’, to believe that they, along with their fellow human beings, only have one mind. They are then going to have a conscious mind and a physical body and that will be all they are. As a result of this, it won’t occur to them that they have both a conscious and an unconscious mind. By being this way, it is naturally going to have an effect on how they experience life. One Step Further

Sense Of Safety: Can The Need To Feel Safe Consume Someone’s Life If They Experienced Childhood Trauma?

For some people on this earth, feeling safe is something that is a normal part of their life. This is not to say that someone like this won’t ever feel unsafe; what it means is that this is something that they will rarely experience. However, even though they probably won’t think about the fact that they generally feel safe, feeling this way will allow them to fully show up and to live a life that is worth living. Thus, their felt sense of safety will be the foundation that just about everything else rests upon. Another Experience

However, while living in this way is not going to serve them, it could just be what is normal. A Way of Life
