Learn about co-dependency and interventions to help the person with co-dependency issues.
Josue Guadarrama, MA Presentation at 2016 Science of HOPE
Description
Developed within a coherent theoretical and philosophical framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique, empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with value driven commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. ACT uses three broad categories of techniques: mindfulness, including being present in the moment and defusion techniques; acceptance; and commitment to values-based living. Participants in this seminar will learn mindfulness as a way of observing ones experience, in the present moment, without judgment and “defuse,” or distancing oneself from unhelpful thoughts, reactions and sensations. Aside from a didactic approach, there will be video examples, and skill practice. Audience participation is highly encouraged.

We all have emotions. By being aware of what triggers yours you can aim to increase positive emotions by IMPROVING the moment, and decrease distress by preventing things that make you more vulnerable to anxiety, depression and irritability.
As research into the applications of mindfulness progresses, both in the medical field for problems like pain and chronic illness management, and in the mental health field through therapies such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy continue to increase the empirical support for the efficacy of this approach in a variety of conditions, it behooves us to learn more about this and apply it in our own lives and practices.

Using the compassionate mind to help clients who struggle with guild and self-criticism overcome
Nowadays, mobile consumer electronics devices integrate various wireless interfaces like WIFI, Bluetooth, GPRS and GPS. Various approaches exist to protect the wireless interfaces against ESD stress. In recent years, researchers have focused on so‐called 'co‐design' techniques to solve both functional and protection constraints together which requires both RF and ESD design skills. However many IC designers still prefer to work with 'plug‐n‐play' protection concepts where the ESD clamps exhibit low parasitic capacitance, low series resistance and low leakage. This paper presents measurement results of 3 different SCR based protection approaches that exhibit high Q‐factor and low and stable parasitic capacitance over a broad voltage and frequency range. The clamps are used for protection of LNA circuits in 90nm and 40nm Low Power (LP) CMOS technologies.

Any training class is a considerable investment in terms of cost and your time. You can’t afford to waste any of your precious time and you need to attend something that is useful and improves your productivity. After five years of presentation throughout the world, this workshop is well polished, practical and relevant.
The aim of this workshop is to help you identify, design, prevent and fix common EMI/EMC problems with a focus on earthing and shielding techniques. Learning how to fix earthing and shielding problems on the job can be very expensive and frustrating. Although it must be noted that most of the principles involved are simple, this workshop will give you the tools to approach earthing and shielding issues in a logical and systematic way.
This workshop focuses on the issues of interest to you if you are working in design, operation or maintenance of analog or digital systems involving sensors, data acquisition, process control, cables, signal processing, programmable logic controllers, power distribution, high speed logic etc.
The circuit board layout section concentrates on design and layout of circuits and components on a printed circuit board. The overall focus is on useful design and systems issues; not about regulations and standards. The idea is that you will take this material back with you to your work and apply the key principles immediately to your design and troubleshooting challenges.

How to let go of the thoughts that cause depressionkirti betai
Depression is different from other illnesses in that, in addition to the physiological symptoms (loss of appetite, nervousness, sleeplessness, fatigue), there are the accompanying thoughts that can be so incredibly painful.
This book attempts to slow down time. In a world of constant looking forward, I challenge you to stop and focus on right now. The prompts in this book detail various techniques you can use to ground you in the present moment.

1. Grounding Techniques Explained
By: Maryann Rigoni
WHAT IS GROUNDING?
Grounding is a set of simple strategies to detach from emotional pain (e.g., craving, anger,
sadness). Distraction works by focusing outward on the external world, rather than inward toward
the self. You can also think of it as “distraction,” “centering,” “a safe place,” “looking outward,” or
“healthy detachment.”
WHY DO GROUNDING?
When you are overwhelmed with emotional pain, you need a way to detach so that you can gain
control over your feelings and stay safe. Grounding “anchors” you to the present and to reality.
Many people with PTSD or those people who are struggling with feeling overwhelming emotions
and memories or those feeling numb with dissociation, benefit from grounding. In grounding, you
attain a balance between the two: conscious of reality and able to tolerate it. Remember that pain
is a feeling; it is not who you are. When you get caught up in it, it feels like you are your pain, and
that is all that exists. But it is only one part of your experience-the others are just hidden and can
be found again through grounding.
Guidelines
Grounding can be done any time, any place, anywhere, and no one has to know.
Use grounding when you are faced with a trigger, enraged, dissoc iating, having a craving,
or whenever your emotional pain goes above 6 (on a 0-10 scale). Grounding puts healthy
distance between you and these negative feelings.
Keep your eyes open, scan the room, and turn the light on to stay in touch with the
present.
Rate your mood before and after grounding, to test whether it worked. Before grounding,
rate your level of emotional pain (0-10, where 10 means “extreme pain”). Then re-rate it
afterwards. Has it gone down?
No talking about negative feelings or journal writing-you want to distract away from
negative feelings, not get in touch with them.
Stay neutral-avoid judgments of “good” and “bad.” For example, instead of “The walls are
blue; I dislike blue because it reminds me of depression,” simply say “The walls are blue”
and move on.
Focus on the present, not the past or future.
Note the grounding is not the same as relaxation training. Grounding is much more active,
focuses on distraction strategies, ans is intended to help extreme negative feelings. It is
believed to be more effective than relaxation training for PTSD.
WAYS OF GROUNDING
There are three major ways of grounding, mental, physical, and soothing. “Mental” means focusing
your mind; “physical” means focusing on your senses (e.g., touch, hearing); and “soothing” means
talking to yourself in a very kind way. You may find that one type works better for you, or all types
may be helpful.
Mental Grounding
Describe your environment in detail, using all your senses-for example, “The walls are white; there
are five pink chairs; there is a wooden bookshelf against the wall…”Describe objects, sounds,
textures, colors, smells, shapes, numbers, and the temperature. You can do this anywhere.
Play a “categories” game with yourself. Try to think of “types of dogs,” “jazz musicians,”
“states that begin with A…”
2. Do an age progression. If you have regressed to a younger age (e.g., 8 years old), you can
slowly work your way back up until you are back to your current age.
Describe an everyday activity in great detail. For example, describe the meal that you cook
(e.g., “First I peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters…
Imagine. Use an image: Glide along on skates away from your pain; change the TV channel
to get to a better show; think of a wall as a buffer between you and your pain.
Say a safety statement. “My name is ______; I am safe right now. I am in the present, not
in the past.”
Read something, saying each word to yourself. Or read each letter backward so that you
focus on the letters and not on the meaning of the words.
Use humor. Think of something funny to jolt yourself out of your mood.
Count to 10 or say the alphabet, very s…l…o…w…l…y.
Physical Grounding
Run cool or warm water over your hands.
Grab tightly onto your chair as hard as you can.
Touch various objects around you: a pen, keys, your clothing, the wall….
Dig your heels into the floor-literally “grounding” them! Notice the tension centered in your
heels as you do this. Remind yourself you are connected to the ground.
Carry a grounding object in your pocket, which you can touch when ever you feel triggered.
Jump up and down
Notice your body: the weight of your body in the chair; wiggle your toes in your socks; the
feel of your chair against your back…
Stretch. Roll your head around; extend your fingers…
Clench and release your fists.
Walk slowly; notice each footstep, saying “left or “right”…
Eat something, describing the flavors in detail to your self.
Focus on your breathing, notice each inhale and exhale.
Soothing Grounding
Say kind statements, as if you were talking to a small child-for example, “you are a good
person going through a hard time. You’ll get through this.”
Think of favorites. Think of your favorite color, animal, season, food, time of day…
Picture people you care about (e.g., your children), look at a photograph.
Remember the words to an inspiring song, quote, or poem.
Remember a safe place. Describe the place that you find so soothing.
Say a coping statement: “I can handle this.”
Plan a safe treat for yourself, such as a certain desert.
Think of things you are looking forward to in the next week-perhaps time with a friend,
going to a movie.
WHAT IF GROUNDING DOES NOT WORK?
GROUNDING DOES WORK! But, like any other skill, you need to practice.
Practice as often as possible, even when you don’t need it.
Try grounding for a loooooonnnnnnngggggg time (20-30 minutes).
Notice which methods you like best.
Create your own methods of grounding.
Start grounding early in a negative mood cycle.
Make up index cards.
Have others assist you in grounding.
Prepare in advance.
Create a tape of a grounding message.
Think about why grounding works.
DON’T GIVE UP!
