When it is bad it will avoid it, if it is good it wants more. It sustains life and it adjusts its settings to what is safe. It can be (re-)programmed through experience but not through knowledge, acceptance, being listened to, being loved. The Neo-cortex is not fully functioning at Click here to Continue Reading

We have at times different aspects of personality within ourselves. According to Transactional Analysis(TA) we have an adult, child and critical/loving parent. Debbie Ford in the books The Dark Side of the Light Chasers and The Shadow Effect writes about the different parts of ourselves and how to embrace and accept them all. In the last few weeks I have become aware of my feelings of social ‘inaptness’. My tendency is towards being a recluse, choosing solitude over social-get-together.
