Accepting New Ideas

Accepting New Ideas

Author: Tony McGlinn

Much of the time when a new idea comes to us, we handle that idea and move on, without ever becoming consciously aware of the process. During the times when we are consciously aware of the process of handling a new idea, we often reject that idea without understanding why we rejected it, or sometimes without even understanding that we did reject it.

How can this be?

Introduction

Developing healthy peer relationships is critical for the normal development of a child. Peer relationships have been found to be an important predictor of positive adult adjustment and behavior. Difficulty in finding friends leads to feelings of low self-esteem and these feelings usually continue into adulthood.

Children with poor social skills are at risk for delinquency, academic underachievement, and school drop out. Even though the inattentiveness, impulsiveness, and restlessness frequently persist into adult life, these problems are of less importance as the child gets older. Rather, the main difficulty ADHD patients encounter as they reach maturity is their inability to interact appropriately with others.

Spin Control: What to Do When Youre Dizzy

Dizzy Dean, the great baseball pitcher of the 1930s-1940s, once quipped, “The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing.”

That is as good an analogy as any in describing what often happens to patients with the symptom of dizziness. They see a doctor, get an MRI scan (the x-ray of the 21st century) and nothing is found.

To extend the baseball theme, patients sometimes complete a triple-play-going from family doctor to ear specialist to neurologist. And when all is said and done, none of the doctors is willing to own the symptom. Each says it’s the other doctors’ problem!

Author: James Cottrill

You’ve been getting headaches. Finally, you find some medications that are making a difference. You’re headaches are almost all gone - but wait - they’re coming back! They’re getting worse! The painkillers aren’t doing the job they used to do. What’s going on?

You may be a victim of “rebound headache”. Rebound headache is a common problem. It happens when you start trying to fight off headaches, and they start fighting back. What’s often happening in rebound headache is that the very drugs that used to solve the problem are actually making things worse. If you start taking the drugs on a regular basis, your body actually gets used to the medication and starts to crave it when it’s not there. Then the headaches get worse, so you take more drugs. The cycle goes on.

What is empathy? Many people confuse empathy with sympathy, but empathy is
really much more.

My dictionary defines it as “the quality or process of entering fully, through
imagination, into another’s feelings or motives.” In the fullest sense, it implies putting
yourself into the other person’s shoes, or even getting into his or her skin, so that you
really understand and feel his pain, fear - or more positively - his joys.
