The Shrink’s Links: The Principle of Tenacity
Bringing you the best of mental health every week. In this year’s election, you may have noticed people clinging to unreasonable political beliefs. When they post their poorly considered opinions on Facebook, you try to argue against them, but you can’t convince them of anything. Why is that? Why can’t they change? How can youContinue reading “The Shrink’s Links: The Principle of Tenacity”
The Shrink’s Links: Book Review: The Come Up for Men
Bringing you the best of mental health every week. At an under-advertised book fair, us authors did little more than sell or give books to one another.

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 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.
