Previously I talked about narcissist parents and how an individual can suffer years later. It is imperative to understand that narcissists are everywhere. They could be that friend that you thought was a complete angel, or that roommate whom you thought had such a kind heart. However while they seem perfect at first, they tend to use passive aggressive ways to hurt you. Here are some signs that you are in a narcissist relationship.

What is a "5% change"?
There is a near-industry consensus guideline in the counseling community that one should not offer advice in counseling. Why? Because it's useless to mention it. Every counselor understands how difficult a successful intervention is, in a sense, like fighting in a ring against an opponent called "inertia. It is strong, cunning, focused, with an indomitable fighting spirit and the skill to repair itself. Even a beneficial change will stimulate its strong resistance, I call it "rejection".
Pramod TiwariPublished 2 years ago in PsycheForgiveness is
Did you know how hard it is to actively forgive someone that’s hurt you? Do you know how hard it is to repeat that process every day? Sadly, forgiveness isn’t a one and done deal. You have to continuously choose to do it every single day and trust me there are going to be days where forgiveness isn’t easy, days where you don’t want to and that is okay. It’s all a part of the healing process. Don’t rush yourself if you’re not ready. I know most days I wake up and find it difficult to forgive some of the people who have hurt me – other times I cannot bring myself to forgive any of them…including myself.

Ever have someone ask, “what drives you?” Whether in a job interview, in some sort of mental health consultation, or anywhere else that question might be appropriate. I find that it often pops up in job interviews, and I wonder each time what exact answer they are seeking. Are they hoping you will say the desire to work for the company drives you? Or the desire to make money? There does not seem to be an appropriate answer to the question. Either you are driven by greed, the desire to please a corporate machine, or by a desire unrelated to the job in question. The likely answer for most individuals is family or love.

Adam JohnsonPublished 2 years ago in PsycheWho am I for the next seven years?
Recommend the article "Who am I in the Next 7 Years? On a whim, I signed up for an interpretation class. One of the teachers was about 30 years old. She was very beautiful, dressed in fashion, and had great interpretation skills. Later, she learned that she majored in history in college and was a public relations manager in a company. Her son was five years old, so she had to go to work, do housework and take care of the child every day. Different from us, she has the second-level interpretation certificate of the Personnel Department, has the task of translating conferences everywhere every month, and doubles as the tutor of this interpretation center. Open her blog, has updated more than 500 pages, there are more than 2000 posts, all are her own interpretation practice every day, an average of two long and a short article, she insisted on doing this for nearly 10 years, she is not a professional background because of her love of English and has been working hard. I admired her and she said that 10 years ago, she had read a survey report that a person needs to practice for 10,000 hours without a break to master a skill and become an expert. At the time, she calculated that it would take seven years for someone to master the skill if they practiced five hours a day, 300 days a year. 'Fortunately, I know what I want to do,' she says. 'I just have to hit the floor. I don't have five hours, I can only study three hours a day. Liu Liu also mentioned this theory in her microblog, saying that she became a writer after seven years of hard work, that the Beatles had held 1,200 concerts before they became famous, and that Bill Gates had worked as a programmer for seven years before he became rich. But why do you work as a civil servant for 10 years and still remain a small clerk? Why, after seven years of cooking at home, did not become a master chef, but found that marriage reached the seven-year itch? That's because you're not putting the energy and enthusiasm into practicing a skill. I just read the newspaper and surf the Internet every day to cope with all kinds of trivial tasks, do what everyone else does, cook every day just to keep the family running, I don't look at it from a professional perspective. Don't lament the loss of major after graduation from college. If you have 12 years of schooling since junior high school, even if you learn a skill for 2 hours a day, 300 days a year, you will only have 7200 hours, there is a gap of 2800 hours. Even if you practice for 1 hour a day after graduation, you will need 10 years. Why are science and engineering students more likely to succeed? As long as they are in the right major after graduation and still do the same thing, then they are practicing 8 hours a day, those 2800 hours, only need a year to fill. But many of us, the content of work is not in the practice of skills, most of the trivial people and things, in fact, is in waste. Maybe you will say, I am ordinary, I don't want to be anyone, just want to live in peace. It's just your illusion. Time goes by, and the actions you repeat every day are shaping who you are. You don't want to be, but you are destined to be. If you spend 5 hours a day watching Korean dramas, websites and chatting, then after 7 years, you will become a spectator of life. What you are good at is talking about the success and failure of others without finding anything to say about yourself. Take a minute to think about what you most wanted to do. Then do it every day. In seven years, you will find that you can go out for a living doing it. Even if you like shopping, why don't you commit yourself to shopping for three hours a day? Maybe at the beginning you feel very happy, every day like this, you will find boring, and then stick to it, you began to think, I shopping can find something, but also can make some pattern? Keep it up, and in seven years, you could be a fashionista, an image designer, a street photographer, a clothing buyer... How do you plan to spend the next seven years, the next 10,000 hours of your life?
