What Makes People Lie?

Lying is something that everybody does and children learn to do at a very specific age-around about 4 years old- the same age that they are becoming more independent and watching how others behave. Children learn what they see instead of what they are told. So if mum is saying that everything is ok with tears in her eyes, then the child knows that she is sad and saying all is well. If Dad does not really want to play with the children because he is tired, the children learn about doing things that we do not want to.

Why Everyone in Recovery Must Be Trauma-Informed—For Men’s Sake (Part 2)

I was recently invited to speak at an event in the same small Virginia town where I started my recovery journey and had the chance to be with some of the people with whom I first got sober 17 years ago. There were the guys I called the Fantastic Four: my first sponsor, my first best friend in sobriety, the man who taught me how to say “Hi” to other people, and the man who had what I wanted. And there were the incredible women—especially Mama T and all the adopted grandmas.

Why you avoid being intimate

People resist intimacy primarily because they are hurt and afraid. To whatever degree you find yourself pulling away from your partner, resisting having one or buffering yourself from really being close with someone is the degree to which you are caught in a cycle of hurt and fear followed by all of the strange ways of being that we use as responses to that hurt and fear.

Women in Business: Do You Have Stick-tuitive-ness?

When it comes to being in business, the road to success can be long and hard, marked by many highs and lows and everything in between. Like life, our business can make us ride an emotional roller coaster - if we let it. We may jump for joy when we land a new client or enter into a profitable partnership, or we may fall into despair when we lose a great employee or our line of credit maxes out and the upcoming financial forecast looks grim.

Angels and True Guidance

It has been said over time that those who hear voices are going mad. What about those who hear voices in their dreams? Are they mad also? How do we determine when we have heard the voice of the angels, and when we have received true guidance? One of the easiest things to do is to discount those voices we hear in our dreams, as just that, dreams. The truth about it is that we can easily learn to disce true guidance from egoic demands.

Being Seen: Can Toxic Shame Cause Someone To Fear Being Seen?

One of the greatest needs that human beings have is to be seen for who they are and although this is the case, it doesn’t mean that this is something that everyone feels comfortable with. If one is in a position where they didn’t feel comfortable with being seen, it is going to cause them to suffer in one way or another. In Silence However, even though one can do everything they can to avoid being seen, it doesn’t mean that other people will realise this. As a result of this, it can mean that they can end up suffering in silence.

How would you feel about the proposition that you can achieve anything – absolutely anything – in which you can believe? Well, whether you realize it or not, that’s what you’re actually doing at the moment – you’re living the life that you believe you can live. Years of research in various fields of psychology lead to the inexorable conclusion that normal people perceive only what they expect to perceive and experience only what they expect to experience.

Best Questions - Psychic Readings

Psychics answer your questions about your life situation and the decisions you have to make in your life. While they can advise you about the implications those decisions have on your future, they cannot tell you what your choice should be. In other words they cannot tamper with your free will. They guide your decisions in the areas that most affects your happiness and quality of life – health, family and wealth. These are the areas that determine the quality of your life.

Fake Science and SEO – How Most Companies Fall for Pseudoscience

Most SEO companies have some strategy that they claim will get you ranked first in Google. Generally that line is used as a marketing technique, but if you ask the really successful companies what the secret to great search results is, you’ll likely find a host of different strategies that they claim are crucial for ranking highly in search engines. Yet the truth is that nearly all of them are totally bogus, and that these SEO companies are falling for one of the traps of pseudoscience – using correlational data to prove causation.

As I remember it, the patches were some Wal-Mart, cheap looking patch that tried to match the jean material. At the time I remember thinking, can I not get another pair of jeans please…..please!!!!

Listening to and trusting your own inner voice is a problem if it is Ego doing all the talking and Spirit can’t get a word in; or when you can’t trust whose advise to take because there is conflicting information. There is also the effect of others; family, friends, community, school, work, church, and government, telling us what to do and how to think. Who is right whom should we listen to? There is a grain of truth in each and every perspective, making it even more difficult to determine our actions.

It has been said that time heals all, but unfortunately, the same can’t be said with victims of sexual abuse. The wounds of sexual abuse never truly heal; they remain exposed always. Treatment for survivors of sexual trauma and childhood sexual abuse is an incredibly niche field, but is no less important. Sexual abuse is often one of the most damaging forms of abuse because it distorts the way we see ourselves. It is both mentally and physically crippling in more ways than most people could imagine. However, there are remedies and methods out there to sooth the wounds.

Another obstacle is that that these kinds of relationships take time and energy and one only has so much time and energy available.
