Coping with change

As humans, we are mixed beings. Half of us likes security, and half adventure. If we find ourselves clinging to security too much, there are a few things we can do to help ourselves accept change.

Our suffering psychology, and how therapy works

10/08/22 remindfuluk

Part of mental health is responding appropriately to our own suffering, keeping faith in our ability to take corrective action.

We are self-correcting beings, and, to this end, the ability to perceive losses, and receive warnings, is programmed into us. The trouble is, over-anticipating loss leads to anxiety, and ultimately, when exhausted, to depression.
