Most of us have some issues with ourselves and our bad experiences cause us to have low self-esteem.[1] Others are too shy to approach other people and that's what I felt before.[2] It's a good thing that there are books that could give you insights and advises that clears your mind from the information you are getting from it.[3] Having a low self-esteem myself created a fascination on self-help books and lately my I have read the Fabulous Self-Esteem by Amy Twain to which is very helpful and I just browsed in fabulousselfesteem.com as I was again looking for some self-help books in the net.[4] The effect on me is good and I love to share it with you.[5] ;- ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Mon Jun 29 23:07:23 2009 by &lt;a href=&quot;http://profiles.psychologyandspirit.com/crystal&quot;&gt;crystal from asia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br&gt;Oh thanks Lisa.[1] You're so nice.[2] The helpful self-help e-book that helped me build my self-esteem is the Fabulous Self-Esteem By Amy Twain to which I just wanted to share because I want to help others too by letting them know this helpful e-book.[3] ;- ... </description>

When I was in junior high I went through a pretty terrible time.[1] I was a very good student, getting mostly A's and B's, then I started hanging out with the more popular kids and caved into peer pressure.[2] They were smoking pot and even though I told myself that I would never do that, I took one hit and then became addicted to it.[3] It took me about a year and a half before I came off of it.[4] It's amazing how much I wanted to fit in and by smoking pot I felt like I was now part of the &quot;in&quot; crowd.[5] Luckily with the help of my family I got off of it and survived my high school years drug free. ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Wed Jun 24 23:21:31 2009 by &lt;a href=&quot;http://profiles.psychologyandspirit.com/crystal&quot;&gt;crystal from asia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br&gt;Hi Jules, Usually, in our teenage years, we don't have yet a personality of our own.[1] We are like a copycat.[2] We just follow what's &quot;in&quot; in the crowd to be accepted.[3] We are insecure for we are inexperienced and we want to experience what's to be the &quot;in&quot; thing to be part of a crowd and have an instant connection.[4] BUt as we mature and gather more experiences, we will get over that &quot;follower&quot; attitude for we can stand in our own selves.[5] ... </description>

Hiya.[1] Since I dropped out of school about 2 months ago, I've undergone major personality changes seemingly without cause.[2] Many things I would never do before, such as following my logic into believing the only woman I could ever love is a female version of me I'm male and then drawing the female version of me, naming it, and then calling it art, I don't seem too troubled by now.[3] The fact that I'm not troubled really troubles me, because of the obvious contradiction, followed by even more following my mind into logic storms that end up leading to &quot;headache&quot;.[4] The word &quot;Obsessive compulsive&quot; comes to mind, but I don't think I'm obsissive compulsive, I think I just have OC tendencies.[5] For example, I cut off a large chunk of my thumb a while back, and I rub the stump in patterns until it's ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Mon Jun 22 22:34:16 2009 by &lt;a href=&quot;http://profiles.psychologyandspirit.com/crystal&quot;&gt;crystal from asia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br&gt;Before I have a hard time sleeping and I'm wondering why.[1] It's like I'm having insomnia.[2] So I worry, and the more I worry, the more I can't sleep until a friend told me that inorder for me to sleep, I have to relax my mind but not thinking at all.[3] I did and it's true.[4] Now, I know the technique.[5] So stop worrying to avoid insomnia and to stop worrying is to simply not think or calm your mind by some soothing good memories that happened to you. ... </description>

<description>&lt;b&gt;Behaviorism&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;Behaviorism; Behaviorism; What is Behaviorism.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;Behaviorism&lt;/b&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://profiles.psychologyandspirit.com/Wikipedia&quot;&gt;Wikipedia from Web&lt;/a&gt; 11 comments. Behaviorism is an approach to psychology based on the proposition that behaviour can be studied and explained scientifically without recourse to internal mental states.[1] A similar approach to political science may be found in Behavioralism.[2] The behaviorist school of thought ran concurrent with the psychoanalysis movement in psychology in the 20th century.[3] Its main influences were Ivan Pavlov, who investigated classical conditioning, John B.[4] Watson who rejected introspective methods and sought to restrict psychology to experimental methods, and B.F.[5] Skinner who conducted research on operant conditioning.[6] Contents [hide] 1 Approaches 2 Versions o 2.1 J.[7] B.[8] Watson o 2.2 Methodological behaviorism 3 B.F.[9] Skinner and radical behaviorism o 3.1 Definition o 3.2 ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Mon Jun 22 09:56:37 2009 by Bowser:&lt;br&gt;So the Skinner box is like the rat in the maze trying to get the cheese But what about the dog and the tuning fork I've never heard of ... </description>

I had a friend in high school whose father mentally and physically abused her.[1] It was so sad.[2] I tried telling her that she needed to tell someone about it but she lived with her father and did not want to be taken away from him.[3] Her mother died when she was younger and she had no other family to go to.[4] She endured the name calling and the slaps across the face all through high school and finally when she turned 18, she left her home and moved out.[5] She rarely sees her father now.[6] She has not forgiven him for what he had done to her in the past.[7] I can't say that I blame her.[8] She is very untrusting when it comes to men and does not like to get close to anyone.[9] She has tried counseling but even that hasn't helped her ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Mon Jun 22 03:59:19 2009 by &lt;a href=&quot;http://profiles.psychologyandspirit.com/crystal&quot;&gt;crystal from asia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br&gt;Hi Jules, our experiences from childhood sticks in our mind and time cannot easily erase the scar it left on us.[1] The healing of your friend's emotional scar is a gradual change.[2] She needs guidance and must be exposed to some goodness from others to make her feel that there are still good people around her.[3] Encourage her to read some self-help books or e-books to help her clear her thoughts away from negativity.[4] That's what I did.[5] When I was ... </description>

Hypnosis is a psychological condition in which some people may be induced to show various differences in behaviour and thinking.[1] Although some individuals experience an increase in suggestibility and subjective feelings of an 'altered state of consciousness', this is not true for everyone.[2] In fact, some supposed hypnotic indicators and subjective changes can be achieved without relaxation or a lengthy induction, a fact that increases the controversy around hypnosis.[3] Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Definitions o 2.1 More Popular Definitions 2.1.1 American Psychological Association 2.1.2 Gil Boyne 2.1.3 Michael Yapko 2.1.4 Dave Elman o 2.2 Lesser Known Definitions 2.2.1 ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Sat Jun 20 00:16:01 2009 by Sudah Wudah:&lt;br&gt;I heard from a friend that not all people are susceptible to hypnotism.[1] He said that in order to be successfully hypnotized, a person should be willing to undergo the hypnotism process.[2] The &quot;hypnotism&quot; robbery scheme that you probably say might be a more complex type of deception and power of suggestion.[3] Or he could be wrong that everyone can be subjected to hypnotism even if the person is not that ... </description>

Anxiety disorder is a blanket term covering several different forms of abnormal, pathological anxiety, fears, phobias and nervous conditions that may come on suddenly or gradually over a period of several years, and may impair or prevent the pursuing of normal daily routines.[1] Anxiety and fear are ubiquitous emotions.[2] The terms anxiety and fear have specific scientific meanings, but common usage has made them interchangeable.[3] For example, a phobia is a kind of anxiety that is also defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition DSM-IV as a &quot;persistent or irrational fear.&quot; Fear is defined as an emotional and physiological response to a recognized external threat eg, a runaway car or an impending crash in an airplane .[4] Anxiety is an unpleasant ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Wed Jun 17 22:54:34 2009 by Cath Holic:&lt;br&gt;Don't Do Yoga, only God.[1] To find inner peace and true calmness you have to accept God in to your hearts and not these Yoga thing.[2] Yoga is under the discipline of Hinduism which also is a New Age Belief and cancels out the angle that God neither exist.[3] It is saddening that people are losing faith in God these days because of seeking only peace and tranquility.[4] One maybe tranquil but his soul may forever be doomed for believing in such radical ... </description>

A dysfunctional family is a family in which conflict, misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur continually, leading other members to accommodate such actions.[1] Children sometimes grow up in such families with the understanding that such an arrangement is normal.[2] Dsyfunctional familes are most often a result of the alcoholism, substance abuse, or other addictions of parents, parents' untreated mental illnesses/defects or personality disorders, or the parents emulating their own dysfunctional parents and dsyfunctional family experiences.[3] [edit] Behavior patterns Dysfunctional family members have common symptoms and behavior patterns as a result of their common experiences within the family structure.[4] This tends to reinforce the dysfunctional ... &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;---Last comment&lt;/b&gt; Wed Jun 17 14:48:31 2009 by Pete:&lt;br&gt;I have to agree with Justin, every family is dysfunctional, no one is perfect.[1] Dysfunctional families on television bring us laughter, but dysfunctional families in real life are all too real.[2] And most times they bring stress and the sort, but that is a normal part of ... </description>
