The Shrink’s Links: Racial, Class and Discrimination among Psychotherapists
Bring you the best of mental health every week. If you have thought it was hard to find a therapist, you’re right. A study appearing in the June issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that, among middle-class people who contacted a therapist to schedule an appointment, only 28 percent of whitesContinue reading “The Shrink’s Links: Racial, Class and Discrimination among Psychotherapists”

Here’s a website I like, the Fat Nutritionist. One who advocates a sane approach to food. Click here to go to a post on being nice to yourself.
The Road to Reconciliation: Understand the People of the Mind
As if it wasn’t hard enough to deal with the people who hurt you, you also have to deal with their representatives you carry around in your head. Actual people you can divorce, send to jail, move across the country and never see again; the people of the mind follow you, they share your bedContinue reading “The Road to Reconciliation: Understand the People of the Mind”

The Road to Reconciliation: Get out of the middle of the picture
Let’s say you are deeply disappointed in your mother, who never was the mother you needed her to be when you were a child.

The Shrink’s Links: Spanking
Bringing you the best of mental health every week. Being the father of four children, I completely understand the urge to spank. My children are all adults and I still, from time to time, want to take them over my knee and give them a good one. So, there is the urge, but beyond theContinue reading “The Shrink’s Links: Spanking”
The Road to Reconcilation: Stay on the Road
First, I had you acknowledge your feelings, then set them aside. I had you recognize that you were a victim, then I urged you to stop playing the victim. I told you to not forgive cheaply, then I said you were a fool not to forgive. So, which is it? You ask. What do IContinue reading “The Road to Reconcilation: Stay on the Road”
The Shrink’s Links: Being and Nothingness
Bringing you the best of mental health every week. If you read my last post, entitled Avoid Playing the Victim, you would have come across this example. I stole it. The fourth sign [of playing the victim] is hard to explain. Imagine going to a restaurant and getting a waiter who is so attentive, soContinue reading “The Shrink’s Links: Being and Nothingness”
The Road to Reconciliation: Avoid Playing the Victim
So far, I’ve been urging you to bear right on the road to reconciliation. There’s a good reason for this. To the left are all the hazards that come from not taking your injuries seriously enough: cheap pardon and being out of touch with feelings and uncommitted to values. Now I want you to slightlyContinue reading “The Road to Reconciliation: Avoid Playing the Victim”
