Psychological Counseling is much like DRIVER ASSIST, only there when YOU require IT! When AUTONOMY, AGENCY, and INDIVIDUALITY predominate, INNER-DIRECTION is a much more PALATABLE and EFFICACIOUS means to DIRECTION and COURSE throughout life.

What do PSYCHEDELICS and ROLLER COASTERS have in common? Much, to many a great SURPRISE! Nonetheless, it's the DIFFERENCES that MATTER even MORE.

Disfluency can be a symptom of sickness, disorder, and even pathogenesis, but it doesn't have to be. Like much in life, the final edit reflects much in the way of curation. Extracting what doesn't fit, is entirely up to us, and reflects healthy self-image. Just as long as we also OWN what otherwise is essential to growth and development; recognize our mistakes and correct for them. Otherwise, in A...

It ALL is a matter of CONNECTION. Whether GUT or neighbor, DISCONNECT greatly risks DISORDER. Sociality is a reflection of our NEED to remain closely tied to both our intrapersonal and interpersonal worlds, or risk the potential results of too much isolation.

"Gen-exer;" "Millennials;" and "Boomers" are ALL labels, but is there anything ARCHETYPICAL to be said for such? Likely not! As much PERSONALITY is descriptive, it's not IMMUTABLE. What is IMMUTABLE comes down to what makes us ALL human; OUR HUMANITY!

"I would do anything for LOVE, but I won't do that . . . ." So goes the lyrics to the song of the same name. But would we? When you fail to realize loving others requires you to love yourself, you also fail at LOVE. The greatest sacrifice is recognizing you that you REALLY want to KILL, and then stop killing others.

What's wrong with OWNING it? Nothing! Just make sure WHAT you possess is WHAT it truly is. Subjectivity, although factual, is IMCOMPLETE. Getting the BIG PICTURE, requires one move into the territory of the "Fourth Dimension," or risk not only lesser, but ultimately SICKER.

Continuing with the podcast series, Psychology Today asks and answers (we offer commentary) such parental concerns as: "What does this mean for my child's mental health?; Does this mean my child will need surgery?; Do we have to start hormones right away?; What if my child changes their mind or has regrets?; Is it OK if I feel sad or confused?; When Should I tell my child's school or our family an...

What Causes This? Is It Just a Phase? Why Now? Questions "Parents of Transkids Want to Know," as culled by Psychology Today (October 2022).

Acting is one way to change that aspect of PERSONALITY everyone ELSE sees; but it doesn't NECESSARILY translate to an OPENNESS required for aligning such with who YOU perceive YOU truly are.

"Phubbing" is a polite way of saying, STOP being so self-absorbed. Already too much at risk of becoming so much the INDIVIDUAL, have we forgotten our essential NATURE is "pro-social."

If EVIL should have a FACE, it might be named MACHIAVELLIANISM. What could have only been an INNOCENT reflection on the phenomenon, now has become a NAMESAKE. What goes into MACHIAVELLIANISM? Although ATHEORETICAL, a look into the the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders may supply a glimpse, and it isn't PRETTY! Contact Us: TheWORDHouse.com; TheWO...

What is an OPTIMIST? Possibly nothing greater than a PESSIMIST in disguise. Science and REALSIM go hand in hand. CONTENTMENT and SATISFACTION lies in learning to make the BEST out of life's GOOD and BAD. Don't get caught up in AVOIDING life or living, simply because you can't deal with the UPS and DOWNS!
