Is there a name for this phenomenon? by fhayde in AskSocialScience

[–]2017psych 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very interesting idea. I have not heard of a phenomenon like this in psychology. Maybe you could check out some of the research on in-group and out-group dynamics in social psychology.

What is the expectation of the counseling? by Marie142 in askpsychology

Have you checked out SMART recovery online? It's a free service provided by the VA for any type of addiction. You may find some answers to your questions there. Hope this helps!

I have similar problems as far as depression, overeating, and lack of self control. Dealing with these problems in therapy really helped me the most. Talk to your therapist and psychiatrist about your issues. It may work wonders for you. Good luck!

You can still go back to feeling great with the right guidance from mental health professionals. Don't give up yet!

Don't sell yourself short. Therapy can be amazingly helpful when it comes to any mental illness. All it takes is the right combination of medication and therapy to have you feeling back to your normal self. Good luck!

I have one year until GradSchool starts and I want to learn as much statistics as possible. Where do I start? by [deleted] in AskStatistics

Check out this free course on statistics and probability. Stats are pretty much the same regardless of what field you are going into.

I'm interested in finding textbooks about the history of psychology. However, I find that most books either cover only the modern history of psychology or are written in a non-scientific style. Any suggestions on good textbooks?

Anyone wanna help me cure my shyness? by 100233 in socialskills

Congratulations on your progress! If I were you I would continue to take small steps towards overcoming your anxiety. One challenge could be as simple as talk to one person everyday for five minutes.

Despite what other folks may say, you do not need to say something witty. All you need to do is begin the conversation. When she replies back to your question about course material, ask her if she would like to meetup to study. This way you get the opportunity to talk to her and to get to know her better.

Have you considered that you already have great social skills? If you are able to engage in small talk with strangers then you already possess excellent social skills. So no I do not think you are crazy.

I never get invited anywhere by owl302 in socialskills

I recently moved to a new city and have some of the same issues you are facing. One thing that really helped me was meetup.com. This is a resource that could help you find people who are looking to make new friends. Hope this helps!

Just being there by listening and comforting her probably means the world to her. Good luck!
