• Yoga and wellbeing

  Psychology I practice every morning Yoga because I think it helps me attain peace and happiness through out the day. I recommend it to my patients as a form of exercise because it helps them develop inner feelings of wholeness and also their spiritual self and wellbeing.   Yoga is a practical subject. It gives ethical guidance, improves physical and psychological health, and is a tool for spiritual development. That spiritual development starts with a desire for happiness and harmony. Essential to achieving this is being good to yourself, friendly to others, and strengthening the ability to direct your attention where you want it. Feeling good is an important indication that you’re headed in the right direction. Posted Apr 21 2008, 03:19 PM by psychology with 2 comment(s)

• How to be a good therapist

  Therapists who take their power seriously also take the boundaries of therapy seriously. When they bend the therapeutic frame, they do so carefully and explore the ramifications their action has for the client. They recognize that not all meanings may emerge at first, and that clients may be reluctant to acknowledge just how important a seemingly trivial exchange is to them.   Good therapist recognize, too, that the intense feeling that surface in sessions often gravitate toward the boundaries. And that touch, and other physical contact, may be the most emotionally laden and controversial boundary of all. Posted Apr 03 2008, 05:46 PM by psychology with 1 comment(s)
