moving from catastrophising (no one will ever like me) to a more rational interpretation (my friend was probably thinking about something else and didn’t see me). This in turn helps the patient to feel better, and eventually become more self-accepting. Another part of RET is unconditional positive regard which is basically making the patient feel valued as a human no matter what they say or do or event how they
Tsay et al. discussed emotion focused coping (EFC) and problem focused coping (PFC). EFC is a coping style based on avoidance, wishful thinking, and self blame. PFC is characterized by taking direct action to solve the problem. Wishful thinking and avoidance led to higher rates of PTSS.
Stress, Coping: Cast Away Psychology Project Stress is a psychological and physical response of the body that occurs whenever we must adapt to changing conditions, whether those conditions are real or perceived, positive or negative. Although everyone has stress in their lives, people respond to stress in different ways. Some people seem to be severely affected while others seem calm, cool, and collected all of the time. Regardless, we all have it. Also it's important to know that there are two types of stress, eustress, good stress and distress, not so good stress.
Stress is defined as “the process by which we perceive and respond to certain events, called stressors, that we praise as threatening or challenging” (Myers, 2012, page 275). Stress is about an individual or is personal and is affected by the choices the person makes as an individual. The stress that is bad for you deprives you the ability to experience joy, happiness, enjoy life and who you are. That is why it is very important to recognize symptoms of stress and identify ways to bring the stress under control. The good stress is the kind that will help keep you motivated to be productive and be able to achieve the goals we set for ourselves.
But the thing that was most interesting is that most of the people in this society were incredibly happy, fit and some even smart. The way the government is able to ensure this is also different. They do not control the people via violence or oppression but rather by giving everybody in the society a very linear kind of life. They never have to make any choices that are going to majorly affect their lives. The biggest decision they will ever make is where to go on vacation.
Masking Poor Communication Interpersonal Communication Masking Poor Communication After reading the article “Close Relationship Sometime Mask Poor Communication” (Proquest, article, Ashford University Library), I am not surprised at the findings.

We always assume that we know what the other person want because of the things that we have experienced with them. Spouses think that there is an automatic understanding and communication between them but, the truth is, they communication just as good with a stranger. "Although speakers expected their spouse to understand them better than strangers, accuracy rates for spouses and strangers were statistically identical.
Emotions PSY/240 February 21, 2014 Emotions Charles Darwin’s theory of emotion proposed that emotions evolved because they had adaptive behavior. For example, fear developed because it helped people to act in ways that enhanced their chances of survival. Darwin believed that facial expressions of emotions are “hard wired”. The facial expressions allow people to quickly judge someone’s hostility or friendliness and to communicate intentions to others. In other words, all emotions result from blends and different intensities of these primary emotions such as, happiness, contempt, surprise, disgust, anger, fear, and sadness.
Maybe I need to research “feelings” and what each feeling means so that I can better describe to someone my emotions? Along with that, the text says to frame your response as an “I” statement. For example, “I feel happy/sad/irritated/excited/vibrant.” “I” statements help neutralize the impact of an emotional description because they do not blame the other or evaluate the other’s behavior. This works a lot better than using “you” statements. This would enhance/help to compliment my communication outcomes by starting the conversation out without blaming
Stress and anger management is recommended because irritability, aggression, violence and anger are all very common symptoms of antisocial personality disorder. Skills will be built to cope with volatile emotions so that an individual will learn to control their behavior before it becomes harmful to themselves or others. Medications may be recommended to deal with some of the other symptoms which are associated with antisocial personality disorder. Antidepressants may be recommended if an individual has a depressed mood, anger, impulsivity, irritability or hopelessness. Mood stabilizing medications can be used to help even out mood swings and reduce irritability and aggression.
