Parenting a Child With a Disability During COVID-19 Got Me Thinking More About Social Capital

10.01 / 08:01

How to Use the 3 Sins of Motivation to Achieve Your Goals

Has your hard work ever been overlooked? Maybe you’ve been working overtime for weeks, and when promotion time came along, a less experienced co-worker (who rarely, if ever, stays past clock out time) is applauded for his great work and is rewarded with a higher, better paying position.Or maybe a new website you’ve been working for weeks isn’t getting the traffic you think it deserves. And other, lower-quality websites seem to be as popular as ever (despite being “uglier” or having worse content on it).Whatever it is, it’s a terrible feeling knowing you’ve worked hard on something only to see others “take” all the credit.

What Is Imago Therapy? Your Ultimate Guide and Toolkit

IRT was created by Harville Hendrix in the late 1970s and popularized in his bestselling 1988 book Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples (Hendrix & Hunt, 1988).A synthesis of both old and new, IRT combines the best elements of classical psychotherapy and the idea of a natural healing process into marriage and relationship counseling (Hannah et al., 2005; Hendrix & Hunt, 1988).But why do relationships go wrong?Early in a relationship, romantic love is all consuming.

Why I Stopped Listening to the Naysayers About My Autistic Son

09.01 / 12:53

Many years ago, when a doctor confirmed that my son is autistic, there was little I knew for sure. But I was certain of this: Daniel was the same child he was before the identification. He was smart as a whip, gentle, patient, kind, and already, as a small child, a thoughtful and attentive listener. Oh — and he was a ham from the get-go, developing a love affair with the microphone at age 2 that seeded his public speaking career.

The Daily and Weekly Goals of Someone With Depression and Anxiety

09.01 / 02:10

When, like me, you experience anxiety, panic attacks and depression, completing normal, everyday tasks can become overwhelming. When I feel exceedingly anxious or I start to slip into a depressive episode, I start to struggle with just about anything. I forget to eat, can’t motivate myself to shower or get dressed, I’m lying awake at night and take too many naps during the day. In essence, I stop taking care of myself and let everything slide until it feels like everything has spiralled out of control.

How Getting the 'Silent Treatment' as a Child Impacts Your Mental Health

09.01 / 02:10

The silent treatment, also known as the cold shoulder, stonewalling or love withdrawal, can be incredibly damaging. It can make you nervous, frightened, confused and lonely. While it is healthy to take some quiet time from an argument or upsetting event to lessen tension, gather thoughts and proceed mindfully, silence, with the sole intention to hurt someone, is manipulative.

How I'm Taming the Black Dog of My Bipolar Depression

My depression is an old black dog with a gray muzzle, red-rimmed eyes and wet fur. He shows up at my doorstep a few times a year, comes inside, and lies down at my feet — or on them. He follows me everywhere. Though he is usually quiet, he demands food and water. He eats my motivation, creativity and empathy. If he’s really hungry, his favorite meal is the juicy steak of my self-worth. He drinks my tears so I cannot cry, cannot let go and let in grace.

How to Be Vulnerable in Life and Therapy

The situation was bigger than me, and the vulnerability I experienced was not so much a coping mechanism as being authentic.Why is it that many of us only show our vulnerable side at the most extreme times?After all, vulnerability can help us not only build relationships, but also experience our feelings more deeply (Brown, 2015).In this article, we learn why vulnerability is not about weakness, but rather confidence and inner strength. Then we explore some tools, exercises, and techniques that offer help in therapy and beyond.Most of us don’t like to feel vulnerable in life or even in therapy.Rather than respecting those who are courageous enough to show their vulnerability, we tend to criticize them, becoming judgmental.

If I had a penny for every time someone has suggested that since my son has autism, he must be a whiz kid, or a child prodigy, I would be a millionaire by now. I am not sure if I should laugh or get upset over their gross ignorance. The media — social, print, and TV — has done such a disservice to individuals like my son who are in a different place on the spectrum. They downplay the challenges of autism to mere social awkwardness, sound-canceling headphones, and a fidget and the rest is all about handling their genius.
