When a liar realizes that you completely believe his story, he feels incredibly relieved. As a result, his attention span is severely dulled.

Upon noticing the deception, you don't have to shout about it right away. It is better to carefully use your false naivety to disarm the enemy.

Pretend that you are gullible in the flesh. And then surreptitiously begin to bend your line, promoting your own interests. Open / Comment

2022-10-10 12:45:07 Gestalt must be closed: what does it mean

Probably everyone has heard about such a trendy direction as Gestalt therapy, and knows that it is useful to close these very Gestalts. But few understand the essence of this method. Let's find out together with the expert.

What is a Gestalt?
Gestalt is a kind of holistic image with all of its parts, which we perceive as a whole, not as separate parts. When we look at a picture, we first see the whole picture; we create a sensory perception, a reaction to the image. And only then do we begin to go into detail, to try to understand what the author of the canvas wanted to portray.

When is it time to see a Gestalt therapist?
You may consult a specialist if you have any incomplete situations that drag on for a long time, such as unhappy grief or a quarrel with your best friend. Or if you realize that you are stuck in a job that you don't like and you can't quit, you understand everything, but you can't make the sacred step, as if something is keeping you away.

How do you know that you have an open situation?
For example, the fight happened last year, and you still remember the details of what happened, you are thinking through options for answering your opponent. Or you do not think about the situation all the time, but as soon as you accidentally meet the offender, again plunged into the experience. Open / Comment

2022-10-07 12:22:06 Scared, afraid, anxious, and worried: how are they different?

We often confuse fright, fear, anxiety and anxiety. What distinguishes these phenomena? Why are they needed at all? And how do we distinguish between healthy anxiety and unhealthy anxiety?

- Scared.
It is a reflex reaction to a potential threat. Scared occurs against our will, automatically, when we see, hear, or feel something potentially dangerous.

- Fear, anger, and numbness
We've been frightened; now our brain needs something to respond to that feeling. Depending on the situation, it chooses one of three options: hit, run, freeze.

- Anxiety
This emotion is a reaction to a future threat. It reflects only a premonition of events that are dangerous to us. For example, a dog barking around the corner is fright and fear. We think that now a dog might come around the corner and bark, which is anxiety.

- How do we distinguish between healthy anxiety and unhealthy anxiety?
Healthy anxiety is the kind that objectively improves life. And unhealthy anxiety is about danger, which does not correspond to reality and exists only because of our imagination. You could say that unhealthy anxiety is the construction of a negative scenario in your head that is unlikely to happen. Open / Comment

2022-10-06 12:12:06 "Love Online": does a long-distance relationship have a future?

Many people are in long-distance relationships. Someone chooses them consciously, because it is easier to communicate online than in person. And someone finds himself in them due to circumstances: because of a business trip or forced relocation of the partner. In both cases, the question is the same: can feelings survive the test of hundreds and thousands of miles? They can, but only under certain conditions. Under what conditions, explains the psychologist.
