Download or read book Zen and Psychotherapy Partners in Liberation written by Joseph Bobrow and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new take on the interplay of emotional and spiritual development. Insight, attentiveness, and transformative experience are central in both Buddhism and psychotherapy. An “intimate dialogue” that examines the interplay of emotional and spiritual development through the lens of Zen Buddhism and psychotherapy, this book artfully illuminates the intrinsic connections between the two practices, and demonstrates how these traditions can be complementary in helping to live a truly fulfilled and contented life. As this book deftly explores, integrating the two streams of Zen and psychotherapy can help us to better grasp our conscious and unconscious experiences and more fully develop the fundamental capacities of the self. Bobrow shows how the major themes of trauma, attachment, emotional communication, and emotional regulation play out in the context of Zen and psychotherapeutic practice, and how, in concert, both provide a comprehensive, interactive model of fully functioning human life.

Sample therapeutic exercises and patient-therapist dialogues are integrated throughout.

Download or read book The Objective Leader written by Elizabeth R. Thornton and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are all subjective—it's human nature. We overreact to situations; we judge people too quickly and unfairly; we take something personally when it was not really meant that way. As a result, we lose relationships, reputation, money, and peace of mind. And in our ever-more-complex world, leaders must make decisions faster and with more conflicting information; widespread insecurity makes people territorial and risk-averse; and the consequences of every action are played out on a disproportionately large stage. Imagine how much more prepared Mitt Romney could have been for his landslide loss on election night, if his advisors had acknowledged the facts staring them in the face. To succeed, we must consciously seek to increase our objectivity—seeing and accepting things as they are without projecting our mental models, fears, background, and personal experiences onto them. This way, we not only avoid costly cognitive errors, but open ourselves to engage new cultures, new markets, and new opportunities. In The Objective Leader, Thornton draws on her original research, as well as her years of experience as a manager and entrepreneur, to offer proven strategies for identifying limiting and unproductive ways of thinking and creating powerful new mental models that ensure continued success.
Download or read book The Psychology Of The Brain written by Philip Dammen and published by Philip Dammen. This book was released on 2023-12-02 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Most Important Knowledge and Findings The central ideas behind the books on brain psychology and linguistic brain therapy are aimed at helping psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, health workers, family members, and clients gain knowledge and methods to reduce or eliminate mental disorders. This leads to a better life for clients and more secure, satisfied therapists. Therapists and psychologists who achieve good results can confidently continue their treatment as before, while gaining a scientific understanding of the mental changes in their clients as they improve from the treatment. Therapists who are not as successful can now acquire scientifically grounded knowledge on how to achieve better outcomes. Family members will gain knowledge about mental disorders, enabling them to more effectively help their children. Those suffering from mental disorders can acquire knowledge and techniques that can alleviate their condition and create a life with less mental pain. These goals are achievable because the books on brain psychology and linguistic brain therapy contain scientific knowledge about the mental constructs that anchor and trigger mental distress or well-being. They also provide insights into how to protect against mental pain and manage it in the best possible way." The Significance of Research Early in my therapeutic practice, several clients achieved amazing results that psychology could not explain. This led to the initiation of an extensive research project. The research was met with skepticism, as many believed it was impossible to investigate what After 9 years of analyzing mental processes in clients, I discovered how mental disorders are mentally constructed and the mental changes clients experience when they improve from treatment. One conclusion was that all mental disorders can be cured using words, though it may take time. These findings represented a solution to challenges that psychology and psychiatry had been trying to solve for over 150 years. Significant Discoveries: I found that mental disorders are mentally constructed more simply than previously believed by researchers, psychologists, and psychiatrists. It is possible to investigate mental processes leading to mental distress and the experience of mental distress solely through words. Mental well-being and mental disorders are constructed of the same mental or mental-biological material, and in the same manner, allowing the same methods to be used to treat mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, as well as to develop mental well-being and skills." "I Now Know for Sure I am now certain that knowledge of brain psychology and linguistic therapy can lead those with mental distress to take more control over their emotions and mental problems. Additionally, psychologists and health workers can treat clients with greater scientific certainty and predictability, achieving faster and better results. The most reliable evidence of this includes success stories from clients, comments from international scientific journals, and observations from colleagues who have observed my work with students' mental distress over many years. After 30 years of research and treating more than 1000 clients, I am convinced that linguistic brain therapy not only helps individuals but also enables those who have studied the books to help others, whether as clients, parents, leaders, trainers, or other psychologists.

"Simple, but not Easy The book 'Linguistic Brain Therapy' explains how to treat clients in a way that helps them become mentally stronger, feel better about themselves, and more effectively take control of their lives. "The Books Offer the Necessary Knowledge The book on the Psychology of the Brain provides the essential knowledge needed to understand what happens mentally during the development of mental disorders. 'Linguistic Brain Therapy', based on Brain Psychology knowledge, guides therapists, consultants, leaders, parents, and health workers on how to treat clients and assist both themselves and others. For more information, you can read my doctoral dissertation on mental distress and mental change, available at the University Library in Oslo. Are These Claims True? The books on brain psychology and linguistic brain therapy are the strongest evidence supporting the claims mentioned above. Practical evidence like success stories from clients, and research findings will be shared on my websites in the future: www.brainpsychology.pro If you are facing mental challenges, whether as a scientist, someone experiencing mental distress, an athlete, as a health worker or in any other role where you feel you are not coping well, you may explore brain psychology and linguistic therapy for help. These books can provide you and others with a better life for many years. The books focus on positive emotions , on mental resources, and how the clients can cope better with mental disorders, and on how to treat light mental disorders and more heavy mental ailments.
Download or read book The Possibility Principle written by Mel Schwartz and published by Sounds True. This book was released on 2017-08-31 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How would you like to experience your life? It’s an intriguing question, and yet we’ve been conditioned to believe our life visions and goals are often unattainable—until now. With The Possibility Principle, psychotherapist Mel Schwartz offers a revolutionary approach to living the life we choose. Though science has vastly expanded our knowledge, it has also led us to adopt a worldview where we see ourselves as insignificant specks living in a mechanical universe. Now, insights from quantum physics reveal that our universe is, in fact, a vibrantly intelligent reality and that each of us plays a vital role in shaping it. In this groundbreaking book, Schwartz shows us how to integrate this new quantum worldview into our everyday lives, allowing us to transcend our limitations and open to infinite possibilities. The Possibility Principle reveals how we can apply the three core tenets of quantum physics—inseparability, uncertainty, and potentiality—to live the life we choose, free from the wounds of our past and the constraints of our old beliefs. You can learn to: Develop a mastery of your thinking as you free yourself from the replication of old thought patterns • Utilize the concept of wave collapse to realize that you are not imprisoned by your genes, brain chemistry, or past traumas • Overcome anxiety and depression through a shift of mind • Thrive in resilient relationships and develop powerful communication skills that foster empowerment and intimate connection • Embrace uncertainty to ride the waves of personal change

Download or read book The Present Moment in Psychotherapy and Everyday Life Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology written by Daniel N. Stern and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most psychotherapies agree that therapeutic work in the 'here and now' has the greatest power to bring about change, few if any books have ever addressed the problem of what 'here and now' actually means. Beginning with the claim that we are psychologically alive only in the now, internationally acclaimed child psychiatrist Daniel N. Stern tackles vexing yet fascinating questions such as: what is the nature of 'nowness'? How is 'now' experienced between two people? What do present moments have to do with therapeutic growth and change? Certain moments of shared immediate experience, such as a knowing glance across a dinner table, are paradigmatic of what Stern shows to be the core of human experience, the 3 to 5 seconds he identifies as 'the present moment.' By placing the present moment at the center of psychotherapy, Stern alters our ideas about how therapeutic change occurs, and about what is significant in therapy. As much a meditation on the problems of memory and experience as it is a call to appreciate every moment of experience, The Present Moment is a must-read for all who are interested in the latest thinking about human experience.
