Webster’s Dictionary defines depression as depressing or being depressed; a hollow or low place; low spirits; dejection. We all have our own personal perception and definition. Most of us are afraid to publicly admit any level of depression because of society’s general view that people suffering from depression are mentally unstable, unpredictable, unreliable, and mentally ill.

THINKIATRY & OUR THOUGHTS CREATE OUR FEELINGS

OUR THOUGHTS CREATE OUR FEELINGS Please click this Link to view Video. In video #1 we learned about Thinkiatry’s 1st Principle – Thinking. We each have an individually unique “Thought System” comprised of our interpretation of our own thoughts and those of others accumulated throughout our lives. It is impossible for any two of us to have identical thought systems. Others will never think exactly the same way we do. The major impact our thought systems have on our relationships will be discussed in a future video.

THINKIATRY & PARENTING

THINKIATRY & PARENTING Click this Link to view Video. Thinkiatry teaches the Principles, Process, and Path to healthier psychological functioning and happiness in our lives. I have spent over 30 years studying how our minds and emotions work. During these years I found myself constantly reflecting upon how the knowledge and skills I was learning could have benefited me as a child. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s – a much simpler time. Yet, in hindsight I suffered from dysfunctional thinking, anger, moods, low self-esteem, and I stuttered – to the joy of my young peers.
