Philosophy of Science RSS Feeds3 Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Therapy - A friend recently endured a series of counselling sessions which were completely unsatisfying, although at the end of the sessions, my friend thanked the therapist and told him how effective the sessions had been and how much better she felt. What a colossal waste of everybody's energy and intentions.Tags: communication, relationships, therapy ...Feed Source: feeds.counsellingresource.com ?Sunshine and Showers? ? Non-Attachment By the Seaside! - I have practised meditation and studied Buddhist philosophy in some detail, but never has it been so clear to me that all phenomena are impermanent and transient, that life is suffering and change, or that everything in fact depends on your mental attitude to the constant stream of illusions, as a day by the seaside in England.Tags: meditation, mindful awareness, relaxation
... Should You Give Yourself a Get-Out Clause? - Wanting something very badly -- a change of career, a dream holiday, praise for a job well done -- does not necessarily equip us with the skills or confidence to have a go at achieving it. Sometimes the first step is to acknowledge our fears and anxieties and give ourselves permission to back out of the whole process; only then can we settle down to the tasks in hand.Tags: anxiety and stress, motivation, work-life
... Emotions Looking for a Reason - Sometimes when we are puzzled by our emotions, when they seem out of proportion to the incident that evokes them, it may be because the emotion came first -- the emotion was there and we needed something to attach it to.Tags: emotions, parenting and children, relationships, self-esteem
... Why You Are Not Your Brain - Does consciousness exist along a continuum, beginning in the simplest forms of life, rather than being an event which springs out of nowhere once a certain level of evolution has been achieved?Tags: book, mind-body, mindful awareness, neuroscience, news and research, series on s... As Autumn Approaches, So Does All That Glorious Color! - Even for someone especially sensitive to the dwindling hours of sunlight as we in the northern hemisphere head into Autumn, there's one thing that helps offset the effects of an impending light-deprived funk: it's all that glorious color!Tags: depression, emotions, seasons
... Are You Making Enough Mistakes? - A perfect test score, perfect credit, a face without blemishes, maybe even a problem-free life: these are ideals for many. Setting aside the question of whether these goals are achievable, on deeper reflection are they even desirable? Your parents, your teachers, and your bosses all want you to avoid mistakes. Here's why they have it all wrong.Tags: creativity, parenting and children, politics, positive psychol... Helping Young Children Adjust to Change - Help kids develop the tools to manage anxiety, refrain from catastrophic thinking and focus on the positive, and you can help them adjust to major life changes both now and in the future.Tags: anxiety and stress, parenting and children
... After the Breakthrough Comes the Work of Consolidation - Breakthroughs are important and irreplaceable and life changing. They are also disorienting and lead to the need for continuing work.Tags: mindful awareness, relationships
... 6 Keys to a Happier Retirement - If you or someone you know is nearing retirement, you're probably plenty familiar with worries about boredom, activities, finances and more. But there seems to be a set of some common factors that can make the difference between a retirement filled with angst and one rich with challenge and excitement.Tags: meaning, relationships, work-life
