Barefoot Counseling aims to help adults rediscover the self-confidence and limitless potential of childhood by providing psychosocial support and helping clients strengthen individual responsibility, build new understanding, and facilitate positive lifestyle changes and behavioral modification to reduce problems and realize dreams.
Helping Clients Discover the “WOW” Factor in Woundingslakesidebhs
This document discusses how woundings from childhood or traumatic events can lead to hurt, and coping mechanisms like minimization actually cause more hurt. When trauma is not processed, it can result in PTSD symptoms like reliving the event, avoidance, or hypervigilance. Therapeutic interventions aim to uncover the underlying beliefs formed by the trauma, like feelings of unworthiness. By exploring triggers and faulty beliefs through techniques like empty chair work, clients can process the trauma and form healthier beliefs like self-acceptance and self-compassion. The goal is for clients to honor the wounded self and feel regulated emotions when discussing the event.
Building Personal Resilience infographicRod Warner
The document provides tips for maintaining mental well-being and perspective during difficult times, such as challenging negative thinking, focusing on gratitude, keeping strong relationships, using character strengths, accepting what cannot be changed, helping others, and choosing joy even when facing disappointment, stress, or hardship.
Depression is a common mental health condition that is often hidden by those experiencing it. While outwardly some people with depression may appear normal, internally they are suffering greatly. It is important to learn the signs of depression, such as feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and changes in sleep or appetite. If left untreated, depression can have serious consequences like suicide. Seeking help from friends, focusing on gratitude, spending time with God, and professional treatment can all help manage depression.
This document discusses stress, its causes, types, symptoms, and strategies for stress-free living. It defines stress as the body's reaction to demands that require mental, physical or emotional adjustment. There are two types of stress: eustress which gives a feeling of fulfillment, and distress which is caused by adverse events. Symptoms are cognitive, emotional, physical and behavioral. Causes include daily stressors, internal factors like beliefs and personality, and major life events. Managing stress involves identifying sources, slowing down one's lifestyle, engaging in relaxing activities, forgiving others, and practicing daily meditation and positive thinking.
Self-Love sounds so simple and yet, how do we get there? How do we understand and overcome the negative habits that sabotage our potential and happiness? This presentation will provide you with gentle and practical insights and visualisations to set you on your way to finding self-love.
This document discusses the concept of forgiveness. It defines forgiveness as dissolving feelings of anger, resentment, and hatred towards someone who has deliberately harmed you, through cultivating compassion for the offender. It notes that unforgiveness causes suffering, while forgiveness can be liberating and promote well-being. Anger has value as an initial response to injustice but should be accepted and eventually released through forgiveness to avoid prolonged misery. Forgiveness does not require forgetting, excusing harmful actions, or reconciliation with the offender.
This document discusses various methods of self-care through meditation, mindfulness, and creative arts. It begins by outlining the science showing benefits of meditation such as increased gray matter in areas of the brain. It then provides instructions for meditation practices like focusing on breathing and metta (loving-kindness) meditation. The document also discusses how creative arts like music, writing, and visual arts can aid in self-care and processing emotions. It provides examples of using music, poetry, writing and coloring to cope with difficult feelings. Overall, the document promotes incorporating mindfulness meditation and creative activities into daily life to lift spirits and find hope.
the ability to judge, make a decision, or form an opinion objectively, authoritatively, and wisely, especially in matters affecting action; good sense; discretion. The forming of an opinion, estimate, notion, or conclusion, as from circumstances presented to the mind.
The document discusses positioning yourself harmoniously in relationships to avoid being too close and burning bridges or too far away and feeling isolated. It recommends seeking out positive people who see your strengths and can provide constructive feedback on areas for growth. Letting go of negativity, charges against yourself, and desires through meditation can open you up to deeper love and intimacy and lead to a happier life. Meditation training involves relinquishing attachments to views and roles to avoid suffering from clinging.
Heartfulness Magazine - August 2019(Volume 4, Issue 8)heartfulness
What causes the hidden prejudices that stop us being together? How to cultivate the open -mindedness to prevent the seed of prejudice growing into the three of injustice? In this edition we tackle these universal issues that continue to afflict humanity. Also, Saki Santorelli invites us to awaken the insight of the heart, Rosalind Pearmain observes the steady work of evolution, Peter Kater experiences the essence of true freedom on his paddle board, Michael Lewin offer tips on slowing down, and we explore a Himalayan Retreat. Daaji’s Yogic Psychology series continues to explore some of the more difficult mental obstacles and how to overcome them.
The document provides an overview of a training for Christian counselors held by The Equipping Christian Ministry. It discusses the goals of Christian counseling as embracing Christlikeness, freedom from bondage, and empowering individuals. It outlines qualities of good counselors as being saved, knowledgeable, respectful, and emotionally stable. The document also covers basic counseling skills like active listening, responding supportively and understandingly, using scripture and prayer appropriately, and asking good questions. It discusses common pitfalls to avoid and essentials of effective counseling sessions.
This document provides advice on maintaining peace of mind. It suggests that we should mind our own business and not interfere too much in others' affairs. It also advises forgiving and forgetting insults or injuries from others rather than nurturing grievances. Jealousy of others' success or promotions will not improve our situation and instead we should accept our destiny. The document recommends meditation to calm the mind and gain inner strength and patience. We should not take on more responsibilities than we can handle and should find hobbies or activities that interest us to occupy our minds.
The document describes a set of affirmation cards created by Louise L. Hay to help people build self-esteem. The cards each contain a positive affirmation statement. The introduction explains that our thoughts shape our reality and positive self-talk through daily affirmations can help us feel better about ourselves. Users are encouraged to choose a card each morning to focus on the affirming message for the day. The deck contains 12 cards with statements addressing self-worth, self-acceptance, relaxation, and living confidently.
Self-compassion involves being kind and understanding towards oneself, recognizing one's shared human experiences and imperfections, and mindfulness. It consists of three main elements - self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Research has shown that self-compassion is linked to greater psychological well-being and resilience, as well as increased empathy, altruism, life satisfaction, and emotional intelligence. An 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion program teaches techniques such as mindfulness meditation, compassionate body scanning, and transforming relationships to cultivate self-compassion.
Mindfulness & Grief: The Transformative Power of NowHeather Stang
The practice of mindfulness can help bereaved people calm their mind, relax their body, and make meaning from their loss. Learn how three members of an 8-week Yoga for Grief group found refuge in the present moment, tapped into their “Buddha Nature,” and used mindfulness meditation, journaling and the principles of Buddhist psychology to: practice compassion and forgiveness for the self and others; use skillful means to cope with the dual process of grief; gain insight into their natural wisdom and resilience; continue the legacy of their loved one; and improve their own physical health and increase self-efficacy.

Free to be me relationship series - part 10 - self acceptance Stacie Otey Scott
This document discusses self-acceptance and the desire to please others. It states that self-acceptance occurs through self-compassion and focusing on positives rather than negatives. While the desire to please is natural and necessary to get needs met as children, some develop an unhealthy need to please others to ensure their acceptance. This can lead to questioning self-worth and exploitation. The document encourages being aware of influences from others and media, and realizing that God accepts us unconditionally through reconciliation in Christ.

Are you carrying some introvert baggage?Lynette Crane
The basic definition of an introvert is of someone who is very sensitive to external stimulation and needs to withdraw periodically because our energy is depleted by too much stimulation, whereas an extrovert is someone who goes out and seeks stimulation, often social stimulation, in order to be energized.

The basic definition of an introvert is of someone who is very sensitive to external stimulation and needs to withdraw periodically because our energy is depleted by too much stimulation, whereas an extrovert is someone who goes out and seeks stimulation, often social stimulation, in order to be energized.
Over the years, I have come to view happiness as a choice rather than a feeling. I’ll admit, sometimes it is much harder to choose than at other times. There are, however, many things we can do to help ourselves stay in that place of happiness, joy, and gratitude...
Krish Murali Eswar’s Path of Prosperity Marketing hypnotismShilpa Narayanan
Krish Murali Eswar quit his job in 2011 and found himself financially insecure without a source of income. He went through a period of introspection and realized that his own unfulfilled desires and ignorance were the causes of his pain and difficulties. He learned to see challenges as opportunities for growth. His mindset and outlook transformed, and he started two successful businesses. He now feels at peace and aims to help others find hope, faith, and courage through spreading goodness.
The document discusses different perspectives on conquering restlessness from various spiritual texts and teachers. It explains that restlessness arises from being identified with the constantly desiring mind rather than the knowing presence. Both Buddhism and Vedanta discuss observing feelings like boredom or restlessness with awareness in order to realize one's true nature beyond conditions. The Dalai Lama emphasizes that kindness and compassion are necessities to survive, and his simple religion is cultivating goodness within.
This document provides techniques for overcoming mental obstacles like self-sabotage, fear, doubts, money worries, jealousy, and envy. It recommends recognizing negative patterns and responding with self-love and compassion. Fears should be faced directly rather than avoided. Confusion often stems from outside voices; finding your purpose provides clarity. Financial success is more likely by following your passion than chasing money. Envy can be transformed into inspiration from others' successes. Maintaining physical, spiritual, and mental health fuels personal growth. The RAIN method - recognize, allow, investigate, nurture - can help process overwhelming feelings with self-compassion.
This document discusses maintaining enthusiasm for spiritual or serious pursuits in the face of everyday routine and trivial tasks. It states that profound interest is needed to sustain enthusiasm, and this comes from experiencing depth in one's activities rather than living superficially. Living deeply provides joy even in mundane tasks. The document also discusses predispositions (vasanas) and their role in one's general mental tendencies (Vasana). Qualitative transformation of vasanas through one's thoughts while eating can help develop the capacity for profound interest and experience.
Los angeles valley college bmhmo - 2.28.22 - presentationAlex Reynolds
1. This workshop provided tools and resources to support Black mental health and wellness.
2. Key topics discussed included defining mental health, common life stressors for the Black community, and building a wellness toolkit with frameworks and self-care strategies.
3. Participants engaged in discussion, reflection exercises, and a talking circle to share experiences and gain community support. Resources on culturally competent therapy and local support groups were also shared.
The document discusses how grief can be overwhelming and isolating for those who have lost a loved one. It provides examples of unique stories from people who found comfort in small community groups with others experiencing similar losses. These connections helped them feel temporarily immune from judgment and allowed their sadness to be witnessed with compassion. While some distance themselves from grieving people, sharing memories and understanding words from others can help the healing process. The document also lists helpful resources and perspectives that provided comfort during grieving.
1. Learn to befriend solitude and spend time alone each day without distractions to connect with your authentic self.
2. Staying patient in solitude allows time for reflection, change, and listening to yourself so true change can happen.
3. When alone, start where you are emotionally and question shoulds and oughts - your path will feel right when you feel your own voice growing within.

Humility and the Limitations of SuccessAlister Pate
Humility - it's a funny old concept in our culture. We juxtapose Jesus' purifying the temple with his suprising claim to be humble. What does that tell us about what humility really is, and what it means for success?
The document discusses concepts related to personal growth and mastery from various spiritual teachings and figures. It emphasizes that creative tension between one's current state and vision can generate energy for growth when focused on purpose, intention and perception rather than distress. Maintaining faith in one's vision and works while embracing change as the constant is key to progressing along the journey.
This document discusses various concepts and practices related to discernment. It begins by defining discernment and spiritual discernment. It then outlines six Old Testament norms for authentic prophecy and presents systems views and diagrams related to discernment. The rest of the document provides guidance on the qualities of discerners, methods of discernment including Ignatian rules and exercises, and examples of discernment in practice. It emphasizes the importance of humility, charity, courage, and having a co-discerner in the discernment process.
This document contains summaries of multiple articles on topics related to spirituality, relationships, leadership, meditation, and self-improvement. The key messages are:
1) To reduce misunderstandings in relationships, listen fully to understand others' perspectives before making assumptions.
2) True love and happiness come from within, not outside influences. We should focus on giving love rather than seeking it from others.
3) Effective leadership helps people understand themselves and align their actions with their values through integrity and humility.
4) Meditation can reduce stress and negative emotions while improving focus, mental abilities, and well-being. Scientific studies show it can change brain activity and structure.

Primary Care and Behavioral Health Integration – Leveraging psychologists’ ro...Michael Changaris
Background and Importance: Violence stands as a significant cause of death in the United States, contributing to various health and mental health issues. The role of psychologists has evolved into an essential component of healthcare.
Despite a decrease over several decades, rates of violence have begun to rise again. However, the prevailing approach often focuses on managing the aftermath of violence rather than tackling its underlying causes. Each community possesses its own distinct profile of factors that either elevate or mitigate the risk of violence.
Primary Care Behavioral Health Integration presents a broadly applicable method for preventing violence, offering a hyper-local approach that targets the specific health needs of individuals, families, and communities. By adapting established evidence-based strategies for healthcare improvement, primary prevention can significantly reduce violence.
Methods and Description: This presentation will provide practical tools and general measures to effectively merge behavioral healthcare with primary care systems, fostering violence reduction at the levels of the community, healthcare facility, and healthcare providers. The implementation of universal precautions for violence reduction will be outlined, along with a structured approach to establish violence reduction advocates and teams. These teams will be equipped to assess the unique local risks, manifestations, and impacts of violence within the community they serve.
Outcomes: Through the incorporation of a 7-factor violence risk reduction strategy within primary care behavioral health, collaborative multidisciplinary teams can effectively diminish instances of interpersonal, individual, and community violence. The application of the "four Ts" model (Training, Triage, Treatment, Team Care) empowers primary care clinicians and integrated healthcare settings to enhance individual clinical outcomes, overall clinic population health, and actively champion community-wide violence reduction.
Geriatric Pharmacotherapy Addressing SDOH and Reducing Disparities.pdfMichael Changaris
This slideshow explores skills for addressing pharmacotherapy in an integrated behavioral health setting. It develops the SEA model for addressing medication management in team based care. The SEA model considers medication SAFETY, medication EFFICACY, and medication ADHERENCE. It explores some of the impacts of social determinents of health on clinical outcomes for elders.
Safety: Medication safety changes as we age. Older adults are are not just young adults with added years. Their bodies, brains, since of self and social systems have changed.
Efficacy: Aging changes medication efficacy. Medications are involved in two main effects. These are the effect of the medication on the body (pharmacokinetics) and the effect of the body on the medication (pharmacodynamics). These are both changed as people age.
Adherence: Adherence is a challenge at all ages. Adherence is impact by age related changes in body, cognitive capacity, social supports, and systems of care. Having an adherence plan can change health as we age.

The presentation explores a five factor model for adapting interventions to the impact of culture on clinical work. Cultural factors affect: 1) Clinical symptoms and diagnosis, 2) Experiences of self, 3) Biological Impacts (Stress and Health), 4) Relationships, and 5) Access to Cultural Support Structures.
This lecture explores stages of change, the core hallmark of each stage of change, and how to adapt clinical interventions for those stages.

The model aims to facilitate secondary and tertiary prevention of health and mental health impacts from ACEs.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

99. Don’t Wait
This idea can both frighten and inspire
us. Yet, embracing the truth of life’s
precariousness helps us to appreciate
its preciousness. We stop wasting our
lives on meaningless activities. We
learn to not hold our opinions, our
desires, and even our own identities so
tightly. Instead of pinning our hopes on
a better future, we focus on the
present and being grateful for what we
have in front of us right now. We say, “I
love you” more often. We become
kinder, more compassionate and more
forgiving.
100. Welcome Everything;
Push Away Nothing
• In welcoming everything, we don't have to like what's arising
or necessarily agree with it, but we need to be willing to
meet it, to learn from it. The word welcome confronts us; it
asks us to temporarily suspend our usual rush to judgment
and to be open, to what is showing up at our front door. To
receive it in the spirit of hospitality.
• A friend of Frank Ostieski and a renowned psychiatrist
named Sidney who had Altzhimer’s was once invited him for
dinner.
• When his friend arrived, she rang the doorbell, and Sidney
opened the door. At first, he had a look of confusion. He
quickly recovered and said, “I’m sorry. I have trouble
remembering faces these days. But I do know that our home
always has been a place where guests are welcome. If you
are here on my doorstep, then it is my job to welcome you.
Please come in.”
101. Bring Your Whole Self to
the Experience
• We all like to look good. We long to be seen as
capable, strong, intelligent, sensitive, spiritual, or at
least well-adjusted. Few of us want to be known for
our helplessness, fear, anger, or ignorance.
• Yet more than once I have found an “undesirable”
aspect of myself—one about which I previously had
felt ashamed—to be the very quality that allowed me
to meet another person’s suffering with compassion
instead of fear or pity. It is not only our expertise, but
exploration of our own suffering that enables us to
build an empathetic bridge and be of real assistance
to others.
• To be whole, we need to include and connect all
parts of ourselves. Wholeness does not mean
perfection. It means no part left out.
102. Find a Place of Rest in the
Middle of Things
• We often think of rest as something that will come to us when everything
else in our lives is complete: At the end of the day, when we take a bath;
once we go on holiday or get through all our to-do lists. We imagine that
we can only find rest by changing our circumstances.
• There is a Zen story about a monk who is vigorously sweeping the temple
grounds. Another monk walks by and snips, “Too busy.”
• The first monk replies, “You should know there is one who is not too busy.”
• The moral of the story is that while the sweeping monk may have
outwardly appeared to the casual observer as “too busy,” actively
performing his daily monastic duties, inwardly he was not busy.
• He could recognize the quietness of his state of mind, the part of himself
that was at rest in the middle of things.
103. Cultivate “Don’t
Know” Mind
• This describes a mind that's open and
receptive. It is not limited by agendas,
roles, and expectations. It is free to
discover. When we are filled with
knowing, when our mind is made up, it
narrows our vision and limits our
capacity to act. We only see what our
knowing allows us to see. We don’t
abandon our knowledge - it’s always
there in the background should we need
it – but we let go of fixed ideas. We let go
of control.
