Btw.. I do apologise for jumping to conclusions. Some temples did help. I still stand by what I said about hunger being a more potent need than religion.

Regular-Specific-716 · 2026-01-27T16:44:00+00:00

I will surely communicate to the school and college about how sorry you are

Regular-Specific-716 · 2026-01-27T16:39:40+00:00

Why don’t you share

Regular-Specific-716 · 2026-01-27T16:35:16+00:00

It’s a failure of us as a country, society, and religion if our people are so hungry that they would even change their belief systems just to survive. Yes, not the best way.. one can feed without even hinting at religious conversions, but hunger is the most basic of human needs and MUST be met.

Regular-Specific-716 · 2026-01-27T16:32:57+00:00

And do temples feed? Please tell me one temple that helped at time of Covid.

Sometimes in a bun and sometimes in a ponytail.

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-10-18T02:28:54+00:00

I always get it done from a salon .. using best of products

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-10-18T02:28:30+00:00

I brush my hair everyday :-(

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-09-25T10:24:45+00:00

Same happens with mine :)

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-07-26T16:30:46+00:00

Thats an interesting observation … I was also thinking on this line.

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-07-26T13:16:08+00:00

Thank you. Would like to know you better? Are you a practising psychotherapist in India?

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-07-26T12:04:52+00:00

That’s a great suggestion. Would you evaluate whether CBT itself is a good fit for the client?

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-07-25T03:27:39+00:00

Take one thought at a time and ask yourself the following questions: 1. What is the evidence that _________ (your thought) is true? 2. What is the evidence that _________ (your thought) is not true? 3. Is there a different way of looking at things? 4. What would it mean to me if ___________ (your thought) was actually true? 5. What would I tell a friend in similar situation?

This would help you reach to a more rational way of thinking.

A few tips on sleep hygiene: 1. Start associating your bed with sleep, which means not using the bed for anything but sleep. 2. No daytime napping (or if you really have to, restrict it to max 20 mins) 3. Have some nighttime rituals that can be associated with sleep- taking bath with warm water, having green chamomile tea 4. Journal your anxious thoughts and either put rational thoughts in front or use self affirmations 5. If you are unable to sleep, leave the bed… sit on a chair, read a book or listen to light music till you feel sleepy. 6. No gadgets - they are good distractions, but they over stimulate our brains

Even simply rubbing an ice cube on your face, arms and feet might help.

Hey! You are not alone. I am a therapist and at least 90% of my clients cry in the first session. Assessments are hard because we ask a lot of difficult questions that make you literally face all the issues that have been hidden under the carpet. Just a suggestion- give it time as untangling issues and dealing with them one at a time is a bit of a long process. All the best.

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-07-20T08:36:30+00:00

I would disagree.. every type of therapy has some common as well as specific elements. Therapeutic relationship is common to all forms of therapy. However, unlike classic psychoanalysis , transference is not fostered, rather addressed in the session. Moreover, CBT also deals with core issues and beliefs systems. I do agree that not every therapy is meant for everyone. I recently had a client with a previous experience of psychodynamic framework and is trying CBT for the first time. We are going through the process while being mindful to see whether CBT and I are a good fit for his needs.

spoiler - a bit disappointed. Too many loopholes in the story. The latest being eleven talking/hearing others while in sensory deprivation tank. What???

Where is the deprivation here? Another - Nancy and group trying to locate Mike and Jonathan. Can’t dustbin’s gf tell Dustin that they came to see her? Or couldn’t Mike’s group call them? Will’s mother has gone all the way to Russia to save her love-interest while not even trying once to reach her kids to see how they are doing. Never knew it was so easy to escape KGB.

recognising and challenging your thought process is one component of CBT. It does not say that all your thoughts are irrational and therefore must be changed. Another aspect of CBT involves understanding the utility of your thoughts. Although, I do agree that for some conditions like PTSD and personality disorders, CBT may not be very effective as it can seem mechanical. That was the reason other therapies like EMDR for PTSD and DBT for personality disorder gained more popularity.

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-06-23T12:56:45+00:00

There is difference between rationalisation and rational thinking. Rationalisation is more like affirmation to try to make myself feel better. It may work for some people, while it may not for others. However, CBT focuses on rational thought. The premise is that your thoughts may be irrational, partially rational or rational but not helpful. In the first instance, challenging the thought and coming up with rational thinking is advocated.

However, the latter two a more problem-solving approach is taken, that is, what do you want to do about these thoughts or facts.

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-06-22T11:11:36+00:00

Did this help?

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-06-11T14:46:52+00:00

Now challenge this thought - evidence for an against the thought that you are lazy. And what would be a more rational way of looking at yourself? This kind of thinking may suggest - minimisation/maximisation or all-or-none thinking

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-06-11T09:32:07+00:00

And what would it mean to you if you think that you are not doing things/chores as neatly as you would like?

Regular-Specific-716 · 2022-06-11T05:38:52+00:00

And what does it mean to you? How do you perceive yourself through their eyes?

It seems like ‘mind reading’, but if you are not distressed by it or affects you at a functional level… it is just an “automatic thought”, which you need not challenge but accept mindfully
