Is Human Nature Good or Bad? I recently had an interesting discussion with a friend about whether humans are inherently good or bad. This got me curious about what some of the greatest minds—both psychologists and philosophers—have to say on the topic. Here's what I found... #HumanNature #PhilosophyOfLife #PsychologyInsights #DeepThoughts #NatureOfHumans #PsychologyAndPhilosophy #MoralPhilosophy #FreudAndRogers

They call it philosophical counseling. Many clients, especially highly educated ones do not come to therapy for problem solving. Many seek an understanding into how and why their situation came to be. A few weeks ago a client asked me why we couldn’t take the session outside of the therapeutic room and have it over a coffee in a private and non-medically contexted location. Many of our clients are high profile professionals who want to be treated differently than regular “patients”. For they are not patients but clients. Clients who do not have clinical presentations but want to reflect, introspect and work on reframing their perceptions around their knowledge of matters pertaining to the world around them and how it impacts on their wellbeing. Working with the beautiful Koorie people of Australia I have had many challenges to applying western ethics to my practice. One of my key therapeutic experiences as a professional was holding a session with an Aborigine client on the edge of a cliff because he could not tolerate being within four walls. As much as I am afraid of heights, this was one of the best sessions of my career. When I forgot about where I was and focused on the client instead, and they felt free in an environment which resonated more with their capacity to open up, we created magic in therapy. I guess I experienced what it meant to work truly with person-centered approaches and culturally diverse populations. #culturaldiversity #therapy #ethics #philosophy #psychology

“In this article, I’ll share nine things that you should never feel the need to apologize for, according to the professionals. This isn’t about being rude or dismissive, but rather recognizing the value in our actions and standing by them. Let’s dive in and discover how to stop saying sorry when it’s totally unnecessary.” #beingyourself #practicingyourbeliefs #sayingno #puttingyourselffirst #notknowingeverything #expressingyouremotions #makingmistakes #takingupspace #pursuingyourpassion https://lnkd.in/g6T7K7iS

https://lnkd.in/gP26rqPN In the end, IT all seems (CUZ it phukken is!) RATHER divisive, nauseating, and crazy making; AND, as is being suggested elsewhere in lots of places by lots of decent people -- ALL THIS appears MORE like a plot to shred, tear, gnaw, and otherwise foul up a generally decent trajectory -- one of mostly moving slowly steadily continually TOWARDS the good, the better, & the wiser ~ in service to the true, the virtuous, and the improving of most if not all conditions for largest possible number if not everyone here in American Society AND in Western Civilization writ large* -- by a foreign bad subversively operating actor. Yeah, not unlike some nefarious conspiracy CUZ yeah we've got a few enemies out there across the world. (*) Might sound näive BUT I'm really RATHER a skeptic 🤔🤨🤓 and a hopeful realist -- far from the eternally optimistic naivety THAT once characterized me in youth some 4 to 5 decades ago, ESPECIALLY having survived a few particularly nasty Mass Formations of Psychosis, Dark Triad and Tetrad, Reverse Discrimination, and Scapegoating episode WHICH virtually destroyed my career for being TOO honest an agent in the medical arena where IT literally counts the MOST since limbs and lives are on the line therein, having been branded disruptive WHEN entire systems and departments were failing YET the command structure chose to ignore the problems, avoid first principles, and burn ❤️🔥 down the good people for screaming bloody murder. I could go on, BUT ALL THIS is part 〽️ and parcel of the Ubiquitous Psyche Pathologies THAT have swept over this country and indeed arguably most of the entire so-termed Western World 🌎🌍.

Friedrich Nietzsche was born on 15th October, 1844. He introduced the concept of the "will to power," suggesting that human behavior is driven by a fundamental desire to exert power and influence, beyond just survival. Nietzsche's ideas have greatly influenced psychological theories on motivation, ambition, and human agency. #hod #histortoftheday #psychologyhistory #clinicalpsychology #psychologymajor #psychologystudent #socialpsychology #developmentalpsychology #appliedpsychology

The Framing Effect: very powerful psychological trick: (N.B. This is a nonpolitical post and the video is for representation purpose.)
