Back in Time

Posted on June 1, 2009 by D3 Support
Silver clock with hands set to 8:55

People often want to hit the “restart” button on their personal relationships, or past decisions. They wish they could go back in time and make decisions all over again, with knowledge they now possess. This makes no sense at all. … Continue reading →

Best of Luck?

Posted on May 31, 2009 by D3 Support

When I wish someone “good luck,” it’s not a compliment. It’s not a wish of bad intentions either, but it’s a way of indicating that I think luck is the most important thing they have going for them. This isn’t … Continue reading →

Are You Crazy?

Posted on May 30, 2009 by D3 Support

I’m rather startled by the number of perfectly reasonable people who think they might be “crazy” and, because I’m a therapist by profession, will see that they are “crazy.” Crazy refers to psychosis, meaning a complete break with a recognition … Continue reading →

You Can’t Lose With Self-Esteem

Posted on May 29, 2009 by D3 Support

Self-esteem is the most important aspect of mental health. Without self-esteem, how can you expect to live your life free of anxiety, depression, or general angst? I don’t see where positive thinking comes from unless you are happy about yourself. … Continue reading →

You Get What You Vote For

Posted on May 28, 2009 by D3 Support

Our politicians and so-called leaders are always bragging about how they are “not ideological” and care about “actions, not principles.” This is true of the current President as well as the last one, so it’s not a partisan issue. It’s … Continue reading →

Racism Returns to Public Life

Posted on May 27, 2009 by D3 Support

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” This is a quote from Judge Sonia Sotomayor, … Continue reading →

Make Them Say What They Mean

Posted on May 26, 2009 by D3 Support

Do you ever notice how whenever there’s a problem or disaster of some kind, the question is always, “Should something be done about it?” What the question actually means is: “What should the government do about it?” What I want … Continue reading →

Helping Doesn’t Always Help

Posted on May 25, 2009 by D3 Support

Working for the happiness of others cheats others out of the process of achieving happiness. It conveys to them: “You can’t become happy on your own; you need me.” This denies that happiness is an achievement. If you could somehow … Continue reading →

Who, ME?

Posted on May 24, 2009 by D3 Support

Projection is when you attribute to another person a quality you consider undesirable about yourself. For example, being quick to call Joe a liar when you consider yourself a liar–but won’t admit this fact. Or, being quick to call Mary … Continue reading →

Why Socialism Fails–Every Time It’s Tried

Posted on May 23, 2009 by D3 Support

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor … Continue reading →

Respectable

Posted on May 22, 2009 by D3 Support

People who show respect for reality, and for the laws of logic, will show respect for others. This is because they know they need and want others with whom to associate, for personal, business or other reasons. They appreciate that … Continue reading →

Health Care Financing

Posted on May 21, 2009 by D3 Support

I recently heard a psychiatrist affiliated with the American Psychiatric Association (APA) complain that the insurance industry, motivated by profit, has pushed the APA to narrow the diagnosis for Bipolar Disorder — so there may be fewer insurance claims approved. This may … Continue reading →
