Showing results for "it" in Psychotherapy

When psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman first discovered Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, lectures, and essays, he felt a deep resonance with his own work and life. In this groundbreaking audiobook, Kaufman picks up where Maslow left off, unraveling the mysteries of his unfinished theory, and integrating these ideas with the latest research on attachment, connection, creativity, love, purpose and other building blocks of a life well lived.

Pauline first became ill when she was 15. What seemed to be a urinary infection became joint pain, then life-threatening appendicitis. After a routine operation, Pauline lost all the strength in her legs. Shortly afterwards, convulsions started. But Pauline’s tests are normal: her symptoms seem to have no physical cause whatsoever. This may be an extreme case, but Pauline is not alone. As many as a third of people visiting their GPs have symptoms that are medically unexplained.

How is it possible for us not to know who we are? If we are not ourselves, who are we? The truth is, we can become many things - a modified version of our true selves, a manifestation of our wounds, a projection of who others want us to be, or, in extreme circumstances, a stranger. In order to explain how this occurs, existential psychotherapist Sara Kuburic will introduce the listener to the concept of self-loss and explore how it manifests physically, emotionally, relationally and spiritually.

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of It's Not Always Depression by Hilary Jacobs Hendel, read by Cassandra Campbell. Includes a PDF of reference materials. We were all taught that our thoughts affect our emotions, but in truth it is largely the other way around: we have to experience our emotions to truly understand our thoughts and our full selves. This is why we should think not only about cognitive behavioural therapy or medication but also about our emotions when addressing psychological suffering.

Learn to get the most out of therapy to unlock your best self. Millions of Americans will go to therapy this year, but veteran psychotherapist Gary Trosclair believes the vast majority of them will start the process with little to no sense of how to best use their sessions to achieve their goals.

Effective communication is the ultimate currency. It *is* the way to trusted relationships, great work and a happy life—and it’s a team sport. All of us play a role.

Many of the clients who end up in our respective therapist offices thought they were doing relationships right—avoiding the white picket fence, focusing on careers and experiences over babies and legally-binding documents, choosing someone after they “found themselves” first. However, like clockwork, around their early to mid-thirties, these clients show up at our door. Why? For the first time, they realize that they dislike their relationship and are frustrated by their partner but know that another break-up won’t fix things.

'It was just sex.' It's a familiar claim. But is it really possible? The old idea that sexuality is a smouldering, animalistic force within us, desperate for release yet restrained by social forces, has little to support it. And the pain, heartache, and regret that can accompany the highs of sexual excitement show us that much more is at stake. So, what are we really thinking about when we think about sex? And what are we really doing when we do it? As acclaimed psychoanalyst Darian Leader argues, with his trademark clarity, energy and wit, there is no such thing as 'just sex'.

I am a psychopath. I am not a serial killer. Sorry if I busted any bubbles. We tend to think of psychopaths as the killers from movies, and that was my mind set before I researched heavily. Experts believe that roughly 40 percent of us are psychopaths. Psychopaths do not have every single emotion. We do not feel everything like an empath. Empathy is not part of our nature. We instead are more like predators. Most leaders, politicians, lawyers, judges, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, and entrepreneurs are psychopaths. Are you a psychopath?

Talking It Better is a practical book about the everyday practice of counseling and psychotherapy, written by a practitioner for fellow practitioners. Using case studies based on his own clients, Elton carefully examines what helps and what hinders the process of change in the therapy room. At the heart of therapeutic work, he argues, is the development of effective mind skills. And he shows us that, when it comes to developing our mind skills, practice is often far more important than insight or theory.
