Re-evaluation Counseling, Virtually

Organize an avatar-mediated-communication re-evaluation counseling group, or one-to-one, in a virtual world, like Second Life, here through World University and School - see Harvey Jackins' "Re-evaluation counseling" below.

Anger

Anxiety

Depression

Diet

5-9 servings of fruit, grains, vegetables, beans and 2 eggs per day?

Exercise

Exercise (30 mins. of walking; Yoga poses? - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga ; Contact Improvisation? - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Contact_Improvisation)

Loneliness

Re-evaluation counseling in Second Life. (Someone will need to orchestrate this, - e.g. see the Re-evaluation Counseling web site below, as one approach. It's easy to start now).

Psychiatry

Seeing and talking with a psychiatrist can be a very sensible thing to do.

Psychodynamic Theory

Psychodynamic therapy works with interactive dynamics, explicitly.

Psychodynamic Theory vis-a-vis primates and concepts of ecology

John Money's Concepts of Determinism, as a start?

See Vaillant below in videos.

Relaxation Response

Benson MD, Herbert. 1972. The Relaxation Response. relaxationresponse.org/steps/

Rough Day?

Did you get ... 8-11 hours of sleep?, 5-9 servings of fruits, grains, vegetables and grains?, an egg or two?, 30 minutes of dancing/walking/movement?, Flax seed oil for omega fatty acids?, Antioxidants (See Dr. Andy Weil's "What's So Special About Antioxidants?" - http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400535/Whats-So-Special-About-Antioxidants.html)?, Ginseng (Yogi tea?) for vitality (See Dr. Andy Weil's "Fighting Fatigue" - http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400057/Fighting-Fatigue.html)?, a multivitamin? Think improving bodymind neurophysiology as a basis.

Science and Psychotherapy

Self Healing

Piver, Susan. 2010. The Self-Healing Benefits of Meditation. drweil.com

Sleep

8-11 hours of sleep per night while in psychotherapy?

Talking

Learn to talk in new ways about what is challenging you, with someone skilled in listening and problem-solving like a psychotherapist, and/or mutually with a re-evaluation counselor, virtually - and for free. (If you'd like to start this, or organize this, let WUaS know at the email address on the WUaS front page). See this WUaS page for re-evaluation counseling.

Allow language to become central to understanding and communicating for your bodymind.
