For the past year, I have been sharing my concerns--which should be your concerns-- respective of the people who need mental health the most and the fact that they are the very people being left out. For example, the new DSM-V will offer more generalized diagnoses for behavioral issues. Come on, get real! This move will deepen the pocket's of the insurance companies who support such wonderland

"We want to be "liberated" from our drivenness and the prison we have either consciously or unconsciously created as our 'window of perception' on the world." In terms of emotional conditioning, the want to be "liberated" from our "driveness" fits perfectly well with the work I have been doing to further my understanding on the human condition. In fact, I have discovered there are many of this

Anger management is like putting a puzzle together. You start off with the idea that something is wrong. What is wrong? Well we all have an idea of how we want to live our lives; sort of like the picture of a scene on a puzzle on a box. How do you pick out a puzzle? You do so by the pictures, complexity of pieces, and of course number of pieces. You look at the box, the picture looks good

When it comes to assessing for future at-risk behavior regarding drunk driving there is an inherent problem in the assessment process. Practically speaking, alcohol and drug use evaluations focus on past and current behaviors of alcohol and drug use. Current assessment tools include the Drug Abuse Screening Test, Michigan Alcohol Screening Test, Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Tool,

Emotion: 1. Why would an inappropriate emotion be triggered? 2. Can we erase an emotional trigger completely? 3. Can we change our emotional reactions so that we become amused or contemptuous rather than angry? 4. Can we at least weaken angers power so we don’t react inappropriately? These are the questions that I am going to be addressing in the next few weeks as I continue my research on

One of the tenants to Select Emotional Alternatives Cognitive Application Processing (SEACAP) is: "It is not so much what happens to me, it is more telling of me how I respond." What happens to us is experienced as Select Emotional Alternatives (e.g., disgust, affection, anger, intrigue, et cetera). How we respond, expresses what we perceive as happening to us. What we perceive is our

I recently saw a banner set in place for Recovery Month that read: “Recovery Happens.” My question is, “What is implied here?” Words have meaning, and when those words are demonstrative of a process to behavioral change, people either simply disregard, are motivated, or intimidated by what they perceive, think about the process. For this I call for a Matter of Perspective. Matter of

When are people going to get real? When society reads in the newspaper or catches on local news channels the headlines: Murder-Suicide, Domestic Abuse Homicide, or Workplace Violence, they are intrigued out of the common interest that everyone has been frustrated in a relationship at home, work, and within their communities. It is from this realization people find themselves captivated in their

When we are talking about addiction, irrational anger-based aggression, or the superiority of power AND control, we are talking about the experience of sitting in total dysfunction. There is nothing functional about the experience, and as such I call it as I see it. Sitting in the experience of addiction, irrational anger-based aggression, or the superiority of power AND control is SITTING IN THE
