This Could Be Carl Jung's Century (The Guardian) →
psychotherapy: excerpt: “…Yet if the last century has been called “the Freudian century”, there are reasons for thinking that this one could be Jung’s. His time does seem to have come. For a start he invented the term “complex”, meaning combinations or clusters of emotional issues and dynamics, drawn from past, present and even the future. This idea rescues clinicians from having to make...

Buying New Experiences, Not Things, Tied to... →
psychotherapy: via Psych Central: A new study suggests that those who spend money to do things are happier than those who spend their money on possessions. In the study, investigators determined extraverts and people who are open to new experiences are more apt to spend more of their disposable income on experiences, such as concert tickets or a weekend away, rather than hitting the mall...

Murakami, Waiting, and The Power of NOW.
In all his absurdity Haruki Murakami does not fail to amuse me. His books leave room (perhaps a lot more than I realize) for interpretation; and for every story that I’ve read, I find some aspect of it tugging at my heart. There’s wish fulfillment and despair all at once, and the symbols begin to mean different things to different people. Kafka on the shore was the first novel I read...

Traumatic Experiences May Make You Tough (APS) →
psychotherapy: via The Association for Psychological Science: “Your parents were right: Hard experiences may indeed make you tough. Psychological scientists have found that, while going through many experiences like assault, hurricanes, and bereavement can be psychologically damaging, small amounts of trauma may help people develop resilience. “Of course, everybody’s heard the aphorism,...

psychology notes.: "Relationships are not static... →
psychotherapy: (via Psychology Today’s recent cover story, “Are You With the Right Mate?”) “…Romance itself seeds the eventual belief that we have chosen the wrong partner. The early stage of a relationship, most marked by intense attraction and infatuation, is in many ways akin to cocaine intoxication,…

Gratitude for 2011
Dear God, It’s been quite the year, hasn’t it? I don’t even know where to begin. The other night I sat down to write and there was everything and nothing at the same time. I am overwhelmed and I have only myself  to blame for all of this. A week ago, I went down the path of introspection and together with my best friend (Reg), we did what girls were made to do best...

graduation
Last week, I graduated from a long and painful journey. It took two years to heal, to find the peace that I’ve been searching for, to forgive, and to be whole once again.Two years, I swore to myself, I would take my time and be patient with my heart. When the anger and fear subsided, the forgiveness slowly sunk in… and in God’s glorious time, everything I had been anxious about...
