Psychology - March 2007

Usually I am a really talkative and loud person. But, whenever I talk to someone older, like my aunts or uncles, I get butterflies in my stomach. I feel really nervous around them. When they ask me how I am doing they just, all that comes out from me is a sheepish "fine." Why does this happen to me?

I've applied and interviewed at a school for my Psy.D. (Clinical Psychology). The program accepts up to 27 people per year and interviewed roughly 75-80. I was just informed that I am on the alternate list - the list has a total of 10 people on it, but they do not rank those people. I'm wondering what my realistic odds are for acceptance. I know it depends on financial aid, rejections, etc. My question is how OFTEN does someone reject a grad school. Do I have a 50/50 chance, or more like a 10% chance? Anyone know?

Also - is it common to find out BEFORE the April 15th deadline, or do schools wait until the deadline passes to assess the situation?

Me and my husband have been happily married for 8 years.We had 2 kids, one 4 the other 6.Three months ago my younger son Jordon passed away from cancer and it just about killed me.I wasn't dealing at all and left town a month after the funeral to stay with an ex-boyfriend to get myself together,leaving my husband and 6 yr old on their own.I was incredibly messed up and had a affair with said ex.I stayed with the ex for 3 months because I just couldn't deal with being at home where everything reminded me of my son.I came home last week and although my son was overjoyed to see me,my husband has barely said a word to me since I left.He begged me to come home whenever I called but and now it seems it's too late and he can't forgive me for leaving and the affair.I was really messed up and wasn't thinking clearly.I confessed and he wants a divorce.How do I make him see how sorry I am?

I work with low-class people and all they do is talk about me out loud, but in "codes" they understand, but I know it's about me, they also mock everything I do, and then laugh, it's harrasment every single day, They are not jealous of me, they are just angry at me that I stopped talking to them for "no reason" (I stopped because of they're messy ways) well I have already talked to the "boss" and she said she would have a "meeting" with the whole group to reiterate the rules of the company and of the "no tolerance" rule of harrassment, etc - I know it's a "mind" thing, to see whose mind is the strongest, but it's 6 against 1 - well anyway, this meeting has not happened yet, and now the whole situation has gotton worse.. I am going to asked to be moved...what is your opinions? thank you in advance - I HATE CONFRONTATIONS! (I know I'm a coward to a certain extint, but I just don't think bickering is the answer, I want to go about this in a "classy" way

What sort of work do they do?

What specific services do they provide?

Why would an individual/group/organization consult a Health Psychologist?

to a gaming dinner (where they serve fresh hunted meat).

I find these extremely repulsive. He went about a month ago, and after it, he spent the weekend in the guest room.

The difference this time is that - the last time, his friend invited him last minute ... this time, he went out of his way searching for one and is driving 2 hours away to go to it.

Last time, I requested that we do not go near each other for a couple of days until all the "meat" has been processed throughout his system.

I mean, I can't imagine kissing him after that, or being nearby when any bodily functions erupt ... I had him to use the guest bedroom and bathroom too.

I am a vegetarian, AND DON'T MIND WHEN HE EATS REGULAR MEAT, but it's this "game" meat that really truly grosses me out about this situation.

I gave him no problem about going last time, and he honored my request above, so is he trying to avoid me for the weekend or just being passive/aggressive?

Thanks

my partner just got home and is shouting like mad

someone's been here delivering some papers for local elections (he belongs to the lib dem party) and he wasn't home. He was mad like hell when he heard it. The chap soulh have come at 2 o'clock and he feels that people do not follow what they say and expect him to be waiting for them the whole day.

Then he also started complaining about the cigarette smell in the house although he smokes himself. Apparently it doesnt smell the same when he smokes.

He usually has this temper when things do not go his way. What's the matter with a person with this reaction?

ive bin recentley diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and for 16 years since 16 ive suffered with inner rage and rage attacks. im now 29. ive suffered alot of suffering and trauma in my life, victimisation and abuse,ive repressed anger alot in my life, i think this where the rage comes from. im waiting for therapy, not sure when itll be though.
problem is for two years ive lived in my own flat, and around me live lots of ' hoodies' . there noisy, drive motrbikes recklassly. they shout. go around in groups. and although their not threatening me directly, i still feel threatened by them. im worried so much about my rage attacks and anxiety that ive socially isolated myself, because im worried about losing control. i have in the past outside, if ive missed percieved threats, and its got me into trouble. for example if i think a person, another males looking at me or stare at me, ill not no how to handle it. feel the urge to stare back. then ive lost control of my rage.

What is the difference between short-term and long-term memory? What did Donald Broadbent mean when he referenced “attention filters,” as related to encoding into short-term memory?

2007-03-23 02:22:56 · 6 answers · asked by jusme 2

The easy answer is that there needs to be a balance, but let's say you have to choose to be one way or the other.

If you share unfiltered emotions - you risk having people believe you are uncaring blunt or inconsiderate of others feelings

If you internalize your feelings - you risk being thought emotionally stunted or shut off.

And for a bonus...would you not be able to deal with someone who was the opposite of the choice you pick?
