Such as "I feel euphoria when I see person X" and without any kind of prompting say several swift kicks to the shin from them to train my brain to say "Bad" when they are around, in an unintelligible static of mental processes, can simply make that "I feel nothing when I see person X"<br /><br />An example? Yesterday I realized I looked at transgender women (MtW) as disgusting. After about 15 minutes I decided against feeling disgust, and simply stopped.<br /><br />Another problem I see is that the only standard a person can truly hold for others is to hold them to the example they set.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711592835943839614.post-53764040974694753132010-12-29T15:14:27.166-08:002010-12-29T15:14:27.166-08:00Karen knows all about thisKaren knows all about thisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711592835943839614.post-22341022188297803062010-10-27T02:09:53.551-07:002010-10-27T02:09:53.551-07:00Womens also unable to make a commitment because th...Womens also unable to make a commitment because their also compares her new partner to some perfect fantasy man of her dreams. <br /><br />cletseypheromoneshttp://www.luvessentials.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711592835943839614.post-69047486952770218552009-12-15T18:02:35.479-08:002009-12-15T18:02:35.479-08:00But what about women who have had a good upbringin...But what about women who have had a good upbringing and have a healthy sense of self yet are unable to find a man with these attributes and end up in a bad relationship?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711592835943839614.post-41162000200954438292009-11-23T10:01:46.075-08:002009-11-23T10:01:46.075-08:00The instinctual brain has no capacity to learn and...The instinctual brain has no capacity to learn and grow from experience and keeps repeating the same things over and over again. When a person has grown up having to defend oneself against pervasive physical or psychological threats or violent behavior, survival is the very best that the person can hope for. Unfortunately, that is the pattern that keeps getting played out as the brain directs responses to ensure survival rather than being able to engage in self actualizing or rational decision making. We like to believe that these women who are caught up in survival patterns actually have the capacity to make different (rational) choices. It is my hope that with more understanding as demonstrated in this article, methods for reducing fear such as teaching mindfulness and the practice of meditation, and less judgment of their choices while they struggle will go a long way to help them shift from surviving to thriving.Anne Dranitsaris, Ph.D.http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile&key=13987340&trk=tab_pronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711592835943839614.post-2851998207328362622009-11-22T09:30:14.258-08:002009-11-22T09:30:14.258-08:00This is so well written I am a psychotherapist in ...This is so well written I am a psychotherapist in Studio City, CA.
