Critical Thinking: Is Everything “Fake News”?

A number of years ago, the mainstream media spent a lot of time talking about “fake news”. This was seen as something that was “undermining democracy” and had led to a “post-truth world.” As time passed, different social media platforms cracked down on the “fake news” and fact-checking sites were introduced to make it easier for people disce what is or isn’t true, among other things. A big part of their message has been that the mainstream media can be trusted, whilst alte ative media can’t. A Black and White Issue

Emotionally Unstable: Do Some People's Childhoods Set Them Up To Be Easily Triggered?

If an ornament was put outside, it might be able to handle the elements. This doesn’t mean that its appearance won’t change as time goes by; what it means is that it won’t end up falling apart. However, there is also the chance that it won’t be long until it does start to fall apart. It will then be clear that it hasn’t got what takes to handle the elements, and this is why it shouldn’t have been exposed to the outside world. A Lot in Common

Self-Development: Can Someone Look Outside For Answers If They Are Out Of Touch With Their Body?

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for people to buy self-help books, with the hope that they will provide them with the answers that they are looking for. Perhaps they lack direction and/or they may not know how to behave in a relationship. But while this will be as far as it will go for some people, there will be others who go even further. This may mean that they will end up going on at least one course and/or they could work with a coach. The Ideal Outcome

Siblings: Why Don't Some Siblings Get On?

Whilst there are people in the world who think about what it must be like to have a sibling, there are others who know exactly what it is like. However, even if someone does have at least one sibling, it doesn’t mean that they are best friends. They may talk to their sibling from time to time, but that could be about as far as it goes. Perhaps their sibling lives within walking distance or maybe they live on the other side of the planet. A Weak Connection

Locus Of Control: Do Some Peoples Childhoods Set Them Up To Develop An External Locus Of Control?

There are people that believe that they have control over their life and then there are people that don’t. Due to this, these people are likely to have two very different experiences on this earth. When it comes to the people that fit into the first category, it could be said that they are more likely to lead a fulfilling life. Thanks to the outlook that they have, they won’t see themselves as powerless. A Choice

When The Student Is Ready, The Teacher Will Appear

If someone is going through a tough time or is unable to handle a certain obstacle, they can have the need to find a way through what is taking place. Regardless of what it is, their life might not have been this way for very long or it may have been this way for quite some time. Either way, one is not going to want to wait very long for their life to change. However, although they will have a strong desire to move forward, it doesn’t mean that every part of their being is ready to move forward. Inner Conflict

Child Abuse: Can Someone End Up Being Emotionally Disconnected If They Were Abused As A Child?

If someone was to take a step back and to reflect on how they experience life, what they may find is that they are typically out of touch with how they feel. During the moments when this isn’t the case, that’s if they have these moments, it could be because something dramatic has taken place. For example, one could experience the end of a relationship or a loved one could pass on and they could soon end up experiencing a number of different feelings. Nevertheless, it might not be long until they go back to how they were before. Confusion

Critical Thinking: Does The Establishment Want People To Have A Victim Mentality?

If one was to take a step back and to reflect on what has been taking place in the western world for a number of years now, what they may come to conclude is that there appears to be a lot of people that have a highly developed victim mentality. Irrespective of whether they have come across people like this in their everyday life, they will have heard about them in the media and come across them online. At times, there will have just been one ‘victim’; while at others, there will have been a number of ‘victims’. When someone has this mentality, they are going to have certain traits.

Self-Knowledge: Can Someone End Up Being Victimised By Their Own Unconscious Mind?

When it comes to day-to-day life, if someone’s inner world is mentioned it is likely to relate to what is going on in their conscious mind. Also, if one was to reach out for exte al support and ended up working with a counsellor/therapist, the same thing could take place. It can seem as though what is taking place in their mind is the only thing that matters and it might not even occur to them that there is another area that is likely to be playing a part. Thus, their so-called unconscious mind is going to be left at the door. Staying On the Surface

Sense Of Safety: Can Childhood Trauma Stop Someone From Developing A Sense Of Safety?

When someone has an inner sense of safety, it will be possible for them to be in their body and to express themselves. What this comes down to is that in order for someone to inhabit their body, they will need to feel safe enough to do so. As this component is in place, they will comfortable expressing who they are – their true-self. However, just because someone experiences life in this way, it doesn’t mean that they will be aware of why their life is this way. Part of Life

Critical Thinking: Is The Purpose Of The Coronavirus To Terrorise People?

It has been said that Covid-19 first started to have an impact at the start of December 2019, hence why there is a 19 in the name. This was in China and, for a number of weeks after this, most countries around the world carried on as normal. However, as the weeks went by and it became clear that contagion was starting to spread, different measures were soon put into place to protect the citizenry and to save lives. For some countries, this has meant going on lockdown, while others have done their best to carry on as normal. Unprecedented Times

If there are people that haven’t heard about what is going on, it could show that they live in the middle of nowhere and have no connection to the outside world.

Controlling: Can Someone Become Controlling If They Experienced Trauma As A Child?

There are people on this planet that have no interest in controlling anyone or anything, while there are those that want to control everyone and everything. Thus, some people will be at one end of the spectrum and some will be at the other end. At the same time, it is likely that just about everyone has had at least one moment when they have been controlling. What this comes down to is that there are times when just about everyone acts out of character. The Trigger

Healing Journey: Is It Important For Someone To Accept Where They Are?

After getting to the point where they can no longer carry on living in the same way, one can end up looking for answers. Perhaps something significant has recently taken place, pushing them over the point of no return in the process. Or maybe, what has been going on hasn’t really changed; it’s just that it has caused them to take a step back. Either way, they will now be in a position where enough is enough and they will want their life to change. A Big Effect

Toxic Shame: What Can Happen If Someone Disconnects From Their Toxic Shame?

There are feelings that can be seen as being ‘positive’ and then there are feelings that can be seen as being ‘negative’. When it comes to how a feeling is perceived, it is likely to depend on the impact that it has on someone’s mood. If a feeling causes one to feel good, it can be seen in a positive light, but if it doesn’t, it can be seen in a negative light. Based on this, it could be said that certain feelings serve a purpose while others don’t. Neutral

Being Seen: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To Have A Fear Of Being Seen?

If someone was to take a step back and to reflect on how they behave around others, they could find that they have the tendency to lose themselves and to be who other people want them to be. It could be as though a button has been pressed, causing their behaviour to completely change. As a result of this, they will lose touch with their true needs and feelings. However, while this will be so, the people who they spend time with could believe that how they come across is actually who they are. How It Looks

Is Your Environment Having A Negative Effect On Your Mental Health?

When it comes to mental and emotional health, what is taking place internally can often be the point of focus. This will include: the thoughts that someone has, what their beliefs are, and their brain chemistry. So if someone is not operating at their best, and they were to get into self-development, they could end up working on their mind. If, on the other hand, they were to go the more traditional route and paid a visit to their doctor, they might end up taking something to ‘rebalance’ the chemicals in their brain. Cast Aside

Self-Awareness: Is Self-Awareness The Antidote To A Victim Mentality?

f someone has a victim mentality, they are unlikely to see themselves as playing a part in how they experience life. Whether something does or doesn’t happen to them is going to be out of their hands. One will be nothing more than an observer of their life, with life being something that happens to them. Through experiencing life in this way, it is going to be normal for them to be angry and even full of rage. The Only Option

Father Wounds: Can A Man Fear Human Contact If He Had An Abusive Father?

Although a man may want to experience intimacy, it doesn’t mean that he has been able to fulfil this need. What he may find, if he was to reflect on his life, is that he has only been able to get so far when he has been in a relationship. He could see that he has been with a number of women who were not available. As a result of this, he would have been able to share his mind and body but he won’t have been able to share his heart.

Communication: Can Someone Use Their Imagination To Improve Their Communication Skills?

If someone wants to improve their communication skills and to make it easier for them to talk to others, a number of ideas could enter their mind. Firstly, they could think about getting a book on communication, and secondly, they could decide to go to places where they can talk to people. This can show that they are someone who is proactive, as opposed to someone that just waits for things to happen. Here, one will be taking matters into their own hands and doing what they need to do in order to improve themselves and this area of their life. Another Option

You Need To Start Saying No!

What someone may find is that it is hard for them to say no, having the tendency to do things that they would rather not do. If this is the case, there is the chance that they have behaved in this way for a little while. Maybe they have been this way for as long they can remember. As a result of this, saying yes, when they should be saying no, can feel conformable even though it is not going to be something they actually want to say. A Delayed Reaction

Child Abuse: Does Someone Need To Forgive Themselves If They Were Abused As A Child?

Even though someone may see that they were abused as a child, it doesn’t mean that this is something they have realised for very long. If they have been aware of this for a little while, it doesn’t mean that they were very young when this became clear. The main reason as to why it would have taken them a long time is due to how their mind handles painful experiences. What took place when they were younger would have probably been horrific, and, to keep them alive during this time, their mind would have utilised a number of different defence mechanisms.

During this time, someone may feel scared, powerless or helpless, with it being irrelevant that they are actually an adult.

But, although they will now understand that they are the ones who need to change, they could struggle to understand why it has taken them so long to realise this. They could even criticise themselves for not having been able to see this sooner. Self-Compassion

You Need To Leave The Past Behind!

The other day I came across a quote that went into how someone’s past needs to be left in the past; if it isn’t, it will destroy their future. The final point was that they need to live for today, not to be caught up in what happened yesterday. One way of looking at this quote would be to say that it is sage advice. Clearly, if someone is caught up in what has happened to them it is not going to be possible for them to live in the now. A Wasted Life

Whenever this term has been used, it has been used to describe someone who is seemingly wise beyond their years, aware, a healer and/or someone who is ‘spiritual’, for instance. It hasn’t mattered if this person was at the beginning of their life or they had been on this earth for quite some time, as this wasn’t seen as the first time they have been here.

Although someone may want to form deeper connections with others and to even have an intimate relationship, this might not have been possible. When it comes to the former, they may have only been able to get so close to people, and, when it comes to the latter, it might not be any better.

Childhood Trauma: Can Childhood Trauma Cause Someone To Fear People?

Although someone might not be consciously aware of the fact that they fear their fellow human beings, they can still be aware of the consequences of having this fear. So, if someone in this position was to take a step back and to reflect on their life, what could instantly stand out is how difficult it is for them to feel at ease around others. In general, they could feel edgy when they are in the company of others and, naturally, this is going to make it hard for them to truly show up. How they typically behave around others is then not going to reflect who they really are.

It has been said that human beings are inherently vulnerable, but this doesn’t mean that a being from another planet would be able to see this if they came down to earth. This being may come to conclude that although there are some people that are, there are others that aren’t. This could be an outlook that they developed after they observed people walking around a shopping area or paid close attention to a few relationships. Based on what they have experienced, it could seem as though only some human beings are inherently vulnerable, while others are more or less invulnerable.
