Fight Instinct: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To Lose Touch With Their Fight Instinct?

If the word ‘aggression’ is mentioned, it is usually an indication that someone has behaved in an aggressive manner. It could also show that someone is an aggressive person, with them having the tendency to behave in a destructive way. But, although it would be easy to see aggression as something that is negative, it is not this black and white. Ultimately, it is a form of energy, and this energy arises from what is often described as the fight instinct. Connected

Relationships: Can Someone End Up Being Dependent On Others If Their Adult Self Is Undeveloped?

If someone was to end up feeling upset, they may find that another part of them is there to soothe this part of them. Or, if they were to feel a bit deflated and low on motivation, another part of them may offer them support and encouragement. It might then sound as though they have multiple personalities and are not an integrated human being. Even so, this will show that the different parts within them are working together – like one big happy family. Inner Parents

Unmet Childhood Needs: Can Someone Spend Their Adult Life Trying To Receive What They Didn’t Receive As A Child?

If someone is an adult, it could be said that their childhood is firmly behind them. Along with looking different, they won’t have the same needs as they had when they were younger. That doesn’t mean that some of their needs won’t be the same, but a lot of them will be different. With this in mind, what one wants and what they want to achieve will have very little to do with their early years. One Area

Are You Letting Society Define Whether You Are Successful Or Not?

A few days ago I was reading a story about someone in the public eye who felt a lot of pressure now that they had reached a certain age. This person said that there were a number of things that they should have achieved at their age. These were things that society told them that they needed to achieve in order to be seen as successful. Most of the things that society told them they needed to have achieved at their age were things that they hadn’t achieved, causing them to feel like a failure A Strange Scenario

Relationships: Do Some Women’s Childhoods Set Them Up To Be Attracted To Abusive Men?

One thing a woman may find, when it comes to her relationships, is that she has the tendency to be drawn to men who are not very pleasant. As a result of this, she could struggle to understand what is going on. Due to the experiences that she has had with a number of different men, she may believe that she is a victim. There are then going to be men out there who want to cause her harm and there is going to be absolutely nothing that she can do about it. Two Sides

Child Abuse: Can Someone Feel As Though Death Is Imminent If They Were Abused As A Child?

What can’t be denied is that everyone on this planet is going to die at one point or another. Thus, to say this is not being ‘negative’, it is simply stating something that is part of the human experience. This doesn’t mean that someone should endlessly think about the fact that they will die. Nonetheless, thinking about this from time to time can help one to live in a way that is in alignment with who they truly are and not to waste time. No Rush

Healing Journey: What Can Stop Someone From Making Progress On Their Healing Journey?

If someone wants answers and ends up reaching out for support, it will show that they want to find a way to move past the challenges in their life. This could show that they have mental and emotional challenges, along with relationships that are not going as they would like them to go. Perhaps their life has been this way for a number of months or years, or it may have been this way for as long as they can remember. Still, regardless of how long it has been this way for, they won’t want it to stay this way for much longer. An Abundance of Information

Music Can Help You To Grieve Your Unmet Childhood Needs

It is well known that it is important to grieve after a loved one has passed on, but what is not as well known is that it is also important for someone to grieve their unmet childhood needs. However, in the same way that someone can lose touch with the pain that is within them after another person has passed on, they can also lose touch with their childhood pain.

Psychic Protection Is A Load Of Rubbish!

Whilst I was reading a book about psychic protection, someone basically turned their nose up when they saw the cover. It was clear that this person believed that what I wasn’t reading anything worthwhile. I didn’t think much of what they said and carried on reading the book. After a while, something took place that was bound to make this person question their view on this topic, if only for a few seconds. A Moment Later

You Need To Learn How To Receive!

If someone is given a gift, it might be hard for them to accept what has been given to them. Instead of feeling happy about what they have received, they could end up feeling guilty. Consequently, they may tell the other person that they can’t accept what has been given to them and offer it back to them. The other person could dismiss what they say and tell them that they want them to have it. Time to Change

Denial Is Like A Parasite That Takes Over Someone's Mind

Like most defence mechanisms that can be utilised, denial can make it easier for someone to function on this planet. By denying something, it can stop them from having to feel bad about themselves, allowing them to avoid pain. Their view of themselves will then be protected and this will have a positive on their wellbeing. However, although this can protect their ego, it is also something that can do more harm than good.

Therapy: Do You Need Therapy Or Do You Need To Change Your Environment?

If someone came to see that their mood has dropped, are experiencing heightened levels of anxiety and/or that they are not as confident as they usually are, they might think about reaching out for exte al support. Fortunately, they will have had the ability to detach from their experience. As if they didn’t have this ability, they may have just put up with what was taking place and ended up feeling even worse as time went by.

Critical Thinking: Are Mental Health Problems Out Of Control Because People Are Talking About Their Feelings?

In recent years, a lot has been said about how important it is for people to open up about how they feel. This is often put forward as a way for someone to handle the pain that arises within them. In the past, however, it was radically different as people’s inner problems were generally ignored. What was taking place exte ally was what mattered, with what was taking place internally being seen as being irrelevant in most cases. One Example

Critical Thinking: Is It Easier Than Ever Before For The Mainstream Media To Deceive Humanity?

If someone was able to go back in time a few hundred years, the only way that they would be able to find out about what is going on in the world is by reading a newspaper and speaking to others. Now, if they were to go forward in time, they would soon have a radio to inform them and then a bit further down the line, they would have a TV that would do the same thing.

Relationships: Are There Four People In Every Relationship?

There are people out there that are in an open relationship and then there are people out there that aren’t. When it comes to a relationship that is monogamous, it could be said that there will only be two people involved. Unlike the other type of relationship, each person will only need to think about one other person. If they were not in this type of relationship, they would both have far more people to think about.

Your Wounds Are Your Gifts

One thing that one may have heard, if they are into self-development or on the healing path, is that their wounds are their gifts. Now, if one is in a lot of pain, it can be hard for them to get their head around this. This could be a time when they are struggling with the fear of abandonment, feel worthless, and even have moments when they feel suicidal, for instance. What this could show is that their early years were anything but nurturing. A Focus

One could be in an intimate relationship that is not going well or they could have a friend who is having a destructive affect on their life. Then again, one of their family members could be living in a way that is not healthy or they could be toxic. Irrespective of who it relates to, one could do what they can to try to change the other person, and this is going to take up a lot of their time and energy.

Child Abuse: Can Child Abuse Set Someone Up To Believe That It Is Not Safe Enough For Them To Exist?

Although someone will have a body and live on planet earth, it doesn’t mean that they will feel comfortable being in their body and living on the earth. This can be due to what took place when they younger. If this is so, thanks to what they went through as a child, they won’t be able to embrace the body that they have been given or the planet that they live on. However, even though this is the case, there is the chance that one won’t realise this. Unaware

If one was to think about what they would do if their car started playing up, it is unlikely that it would take long for their mind to come up with an answer. In this case, it would be pretty obvious what they would need to do. It would be clear that they would need to take their car to a garage so that something could be done about it. There would be no need for them to get uncomfortable or to experience confusion. Another Example

The Problem With The Golden Rule

Over the years, I have heard people say that we should treat others as we would like to be treated, and this is something that I agree with. However, while it is easy to say this, it is not as easy to put it into practice. This is then similar to how someone can say that they no longer want to behave in a certain way, yet this doesn’t mean that their behaviour will actually change.

Child Abuse: Can Affirmations Help Someone If They Were Abused As A Child?

When it comes to the tools that are held in high esteem in the self-development world, affirmations are right at the top. There are even people that believe that one can transform their whole life by using these alone. For others, they will be seen as powerful but they won’t be seen as some kind of panacea; other tools will also need to be utilised. When someone has this view, they could believe that using affirmations alone can lead to even more problems. Another Form of Repression

Due to what is currently taking place in the world, it has meant that a lot of people have paid more attention to the mainstream media than usual. Additionally, there are those that have started to pay attention to this source again after having ignored it for so long. As far as this source is conce ed, this is going to be a good thing. For many years, more and more people have been turning their back on this source of information, so this will be a much-needed boost. Two Extremes

If someone has had a certain challenge for a long time, they can believe that there is nothing that they can do. Therefore, due to how long something has been in their life, it can be seen as something that is permanent. As a result of this, they are just going to have to tolerate what is taking place. It is then not going to be a surprise if they feel totally helpless and this ends up having an impact on other areas of their life. No Better Off

Being Triggered Can Allow You To Become More Integrated

Nowadays, the word ‘triggered’ is routinely used in the real world and online. When someone has been triggered, it is likely to mean that something or someone has reminded them of something that took place in their past. It doesn’t stop there, though, as they will have been reminded of something that is anything but pleasurable. What triggered them might have been fairly innocuous but it will still have elicited a negative reaction from them. A Natural Response

“Without A Body, I Am Nobody”

Towards the end of last year, I read the ‘The Divided Self’ by R.D. Laing and, before this, I read ‘The Integrity of the Personality’ by Anthony Storr. In one or both of these books, it went into how someone felt like a nobody as they were disconnected from their body. One then had a physical body but they didn’t feel connected to the part of them that was beneath their head. This caused them to feel insignificant, powerless and as though they had no control over their life. The Power Area
