"This was amazing. I can't believe I'm over my trauma. For years it's affected my life and now it doesn't seem important. Never thought that could happen." --S.A.

"It's taken away that pain I've been brutally stabbing myself with for 22 years. Thank you for seeing me through. I needed to get past the anger but was scared to try. I now see it [the traumatic incident] from a mature place." --C.D.

You may be happy to learn that, as a whole person, you have many parts. The body has many parts, why should the mind or personality be different? The way you think, feel, and act is a composite result of how your parts are doing. It makes more sense than the typical “unitary” approach in psychology where a person is seen as being “one personality only” or, at most, two personalities—conscious and subconscious. It explains things that prior seemed incomprehensible. By Alex Chapunoff, LMHC
Meditation is a word that can mean different things because it encompasses various types and techniques, and also because it has several general definitions, ranging from “contemplation” to “concentration” to “yoga” to “mysticism.” The common ground in all this is the phenomenon of directed consciousness: you have decided to pay attention to something that you don’t typically attend to sufficiently. Through this act, you become better acquainted with it. For instance, if you really want to know about sunsets, you may decide to spend an hour every evening for one month silently watching the sun go down. When you do this, you’re bound to directly notice things about the sunset that prior escaped your attention. Some of these things may have previously been noted by scientists or painters or poets; but, regardless, you are now perceiving them yourself. Because you paid enough attention. Here's an interesting New York Times article on the effects of mental and physical exercise, certain anti-depressants, and social integration on cognitive health:

There is a big problem in the world today, and history indicates it has been causing trouble for thousands of years. Beliefs. Check out any history book and you immediately notice the conflictual role political and religious beliefs have played and still play. Hence, the saying, “Never discuss politics or religion with friends.” If you want to stay friends. By Dana Baduna, PhD, LMFT
This book follows an analytical approach to psychotherapy versus, let’s say, a cognitive-behavioral or RET (rational-emotive therapy) approach. The latter approaches try to fix problems from a present-focused perspective and look to change a person’s behavior, thoughts and feelings. Analytical approaches — e.g., those of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung — search for hidden connections, meanings, dreams, and look to see how these are interlinked in a person’s life. An example of an analytical question would be: “What ideas occur to you in connection to that dream?” By Dana Baduna, PhD, LMFT
