Psychology - December 2006

I have some maladaptive behaviors that I would like to get rid of. How can I do this? I am thinking about doing this with self hypnosis but I do not know how to do so. I hear there are other ways of getting rid of maladaptive behaviors. What are they? How can I hypnotise myself?

We hear all of the time about murderers, rapists, serial killers etc. who come from bad and abusive childhoods, yet there are many adults who become successful, or at least not criminals who came from equally abusive childhoods. What makes the difference? Hearing that a murderer should have lienency because they had an abusive childhood when other adults have overcome such an enviornment, is puzzling as to the cause of the murderers choices to be in the position where they are now.

According to many psychologists and psychiatrists, homosexuality is not a sickness. However, many Christians refer to homosexuality as "something that is not natural". Most Christians believe that it is just curiosity at a certain stage of life that leads a person to become homosexual. If a psychologist is Christian, what do they say to their clients? On one hand, their profession tells them that homosexuality is not a mental disease. On the other hand, their religion tells them that homosexuality is against the nature. Although I understand that most professionals in this field can seperate between work and their own religion, there are conflicting roles and conflicts of interests. Do psychologists support their gay clients or are they against them?

I am so shy that I even sometimes avoid entering a store if there are no other customers because I don't want to be the focal point of the sales persons. I avoid as much direct personal contact as possible. This is harming my professional career. I like to write as this does not need face-to-face communication. How do I overcome my shyness? There is, by the way, no reason for me to lack confidence as I am confident about by own abilities. Yet I still have this fear of being belittled or laughed at, or simply looked down upon.

Although many people have asked this question, i didn't find a solution in the answers they got.

Some people said u should have a pen and paper ready to write ur dreams the second u wake up. The problem is, the second I wake up, I don't remember anything, as if I didn't have any dreams. But i'm sure at least sometimes I dream, and still don't remember.

I heard that some people remember their dreams right after they wake up because their subconscious mind is still awake. Is it possible that MY subconscious mind goes inactive the very moment I wake up?

I'm pretty sure I have social anxiety disorder. For some reason lately in the morning during first class I'm especially shy, to the point where it is pathetic, everybody thinks I'm so pathetic because of it, even the teahcer, but by second class I'm at least able to function, not great, but I'm able to associate with people without it being completely awkward, but first class early in the morning I'm just pathetic, just terrified of it. It's only recently too. I've had SAD for quite a while but it really started affecting me at this time of day,

i'm really a kind an accepting person,rarely judgemental unless someone is really getting on my nerves but i'm terrified of social contact-sometimes even with strangers-i feel inadequate and prefer to not engage in little contact,but a lot of times i manage to get over this silly fear but when i do i come out all fake and too trying to really connect-i do have close friends but i'd like to know how i can connect with more.

and if you're going to leave a mean note,get over yourself man go waste your time with something else

behavior disorders cause people to teach and never be the student.

It's been a few times now that in a short period of time, I've dreamt of things that actually happened, it's so weird. It's never REALLY happened before and now I dream of certain things and they happen or I can associate some things with situations in my life or objects or whatever it is!!!!
