Do You Hold These Distorted Beliefs About Relationships?
We develop all sorts of ideas about relationships from our families and friends, our own experiences and, of course, from our culture. We develop these ideas from movies and sitcoms, too. In fact, therapist Anna Osborn, LMFT, has worked with several couples who’ve used on-screen couples as examples of what their relationship should look like. “I’ve had to gently remind them that those people are being paid money to follow a director’s script,” Osborn said. We might not realize it but these distorted beliefs pervade our psyche and deeply affect our relationships. For instance, we might end a relationship p...

Best of Our Blogs: May 5, 2017
I’ve finally done it! My inbox has reached full capacity. Sorting through ten years of emails has been eye-opening. Deciding which newsletters to unsubscribe from and which emails need to go, gave me a fresh perspective on how I approach my own life. How many of us feel maxed out, pushed past our limits, staying up an extra hour to get it all done and feeling depleted the next morning? I vowed that if I were to give attention to what’s unnecessary in my email, I would give the same care to what’s not needed in my life. All those emails I would never read apply to the books on my shelf and nightstand that ...

New Milgram replication finds 90 per cent of Polish participants willing to deliver highest shock
By guest blogger Ginny Smith Fifty years ago, in Connecticut, a series of infamous experiments were taking place. The volunteers believed they were involved in an investigation into learning and memory, and that they would be administering shocks to a test subject whenever he answered questions incorrectly. But despite pretences, the scientist behind the research, Stanley Milgram, wasn’t actually interested in learning. The real topic of study? Obedience. Milgram recorded how far his participants were willing to go when told to deliver larger and larger shocks. In one version of the study, 26 out of 40 participants conti...

How to Spot and Stop Passive-Aggressive Behavior
Don’t let it drive you crazy! What does “passive-aggressive” REALLY mean? And why is it so hard to identify passive-aggressive behavior in co-workers and partners? People who have passive-aggressive traits suppress their angry responses because they fear conflict, and the anger comes out in other, more passive ways. 8 Brutally Honest Marriage Truths I Learned From My Therapist For example, instead of having an argument that might risk the end of her relationship, Mary accidentally launders her husband’s white shirts with her red dress so they all come out pink. Or maybe Jeff is furious with his boss, b...

Recovering from Abuse: Collecting Pebbles
One of the most common things I hear from survivors of psychological abuse is their confusion about why they didn’t notice the red flags sooner in the relationship. It doesn’t matter if the toxic person is a parent, co-worker, friend or love interest, almost all survivors seriously doubt themselves for not seeing the toxicity earlier. Once a survivor’s eyes are opened to the abuse they have endured, they wonder why they didn’t set better boundaries before they found themselves in a world of hurt from the psychological games. Survivors of this type of abuse have their lives completely rocked and thrown into chaos. T...

As news approaches, even optimists brace for the worst
By Christian Jarrett Psychologists studying how our expectations change over time have observed that our hopes tend to dip the nearer we get to receiving some feedback, be that an exam result, sports score or health test outcome. They call this “bracing” and there’s evidence we do it more in some situations than others, for example the more severe the potential outcome and the more personally relevant, the more we brace. But do some of us brace more than others, and specifically, do optimists brace as much as pessimists? According to a series of nine studies published recently in the Journal of Personali...

Fear as a Teacher
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” – Eleanor Roosevelt Taking a deep breath as I am typing these words about a topic that is inherent in the human condition. I consider myself a pretty brave person, having faced deaths of family members and friends, injury, an ectopic pregnancy, financial challenge, a heart attack, shingles, kidney stones, job layoff, illness, relationships ending, and loss of my home in a hurricane. These are all common life events; some expected, most arriving o...
