Comparing self compassion and self - esteemfoonkok
This document summarizes research on self-esteem and self-compassion. It discusses that while self-esteem was once seen as important for well-being, it has drawbacks like being unstable, linked to narcissism, and encouraging social comparisons. Alternatively, self-compassion provides similar benefits to mental health as self-esteem but does not have the same drawbacks. Self-compassion involves caring for oneself without judgment and does not require social approval or putting others down for self-worth. It is associated with greater well-being, responsibility, and interpersonal relationships than self-esteem.
The document discusses the proto-psychological theory of four temperaments - sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. Each temperament is associated with distinct personality traits. Sanguine individuals are sociable and carefree, cholerics are excitable and task-oriented leaders, melancholics are serious and introverted, and phlegmatics are calm and peaceful. The theory relates these temperaments to classical humoral concepts and provides guidance on how to best engage each type pedagogically.
Dr. Parina J. Humranwala is a lecturer who has written a book on temperament types and given speeches on the topic. She discusses five main temperament types: sanguine, choleric, melancholic, phlegmatic, and nervous. Each type has distinct personality traits, emotional tendencies, strengths and weaknesses. The temperament represents a person's innate nature and remains constant throughout life, unlike personality which can change. Understanding temperament can help in treating patients more effectively by addressing their underlying mental makeup.
Personality refers to enduring patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that distinguish individuals. It involves physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects. Personality can be assessed through projective or objective tests. Major approaches to studying personality include psychodynamic (focusing on unconscious processes), humanistic (focusing on self-actualization), and biological factors. Personality disorders are inflexible patterns that cause distress, with clusters including odd/eccentric, dramatic/erratic, and anxious/fearful types. Therapies include psychotherapy, behavior therapy, biological treatments like drugs, and electroconvulsive therapy.

This document discusses Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It begins by defining narcissism and outlining the diagnostic criteria according to the DSM, which includes an inflated sense of self-importance, need for admiration, lack of empathy, and arrogance. It discusses research showing that narcissists have positive views of agentic domains like intelligence but negative views of communal domains like relationships. Tests have found that narcissists implicitly have low self-esteem despite outward displays of arrogance. The document concludes that narcissists struggle with intimacy and relationships due to their self-absorption, and there is no certain cure for this personality disorder.

This document discusses personality disorders in nursing home residents. It defines personality disorders as inflexible patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that are at odds with social expectations. It lists 10 specific personality disorder types and common characteristics. It then provides more details on paranoid, schizoid, obsessive-compulsive, dependent, histrionic and borderline personality disorders.

This document discusses mental health, personality types, and their characteristics. It defines mental health as a state of well-being where one can cope with stress and work productively. Good mental health includes positive self-esteem, sense of belonging, purpose, and outlook. Personality is influenced by heredity and environment and determines one's reactions. Type A personalities are urgent, competitive multitaskers prone to heart disease. Type B are patient and relaxed. Type C deny emotions and are overly nice while Type D are distressed with negative emotions and inhibition.
Abraham Maslow's holistic-dynamic theory proposes a hierarchy of needs that motivates human behavior. It assumes people have an innate potential for psychological growth towards self-actualization. The hierarchy consists of physiological needs, safety needs, love and belongingness needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. Lower needs must be satisfied before higher needs can motivate behavior. Maslow studied self-actualized individuals to identify qualities like embracing personal growth, creativity, and living according to humanistic values rather than deficiency needs. His theory views people as inherently motivated towards fulfillment and psychological health.
Difficult to maintain your relationships with people who have narcissistic personality disorder.
They will often disappoint you by prioritizing their own needs, over yours, and will not apologize for doing so.
You may feel like
you are struggling to gain their attention,
walking on eggshells in order to avoid offending them or
constantly working to avoid being blamed for the negative experiences in their lives.
If so, do your best to take stock of these narcissistic traits.
Being aware of these personalities, and their subtypes may help you create better boundaries between yourself and the people who embody them.
we have tried to simplify the each step of psycho dynamic formulation with live example so that people especially the psychiatrist and psychologist learn and apply it in the clincal practise for betterment of patients.

Sue McKenzie - Making and Supporting Daily Disclosure Decisions: Evidence fro...IOCDF
This document discusses reducing stigma related to obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) through education and sharing lived experiences. It defines stigma and explores how negative public perceptions can become internalized, lowering self-esteem. While stigma may deter men and those in collectivist cultures from seeking help, reframing thoughts and normalizing OCD can help. The document recommends protesting stigma, providing education on OCD, and promoting contact with those who have OCD to change public perceptions and encourage inclusion and self-directed support. It also discusses strategies for disclosure decisions and crafting one's personal story about OCD.
The document provides information on understanding personality disorders, including the differences between normal and abnormal personalities. It discusses several specific personality disorders like antisocial, avoidant, borderline, narcissistic, obsessive-compulsive, and schizotypal personality disorders.

Murray Bowen's Scale of Differentiation measures a person's level of differentiation on a scale from 0-100. Higher scores indicate a more differentiated person who is inner-directed, self-sufficient, and not emotionally reactive. They are also open-minded, secure in themselves, and able to maintain boundaries. Lower scores describe a person who is highly emotionally reactive, dependent on others for approval and identity, and unable to differentiate thoughts from feelings. The scale provides descriptions of characteristics associated with ranges of scores from very well differentiated in the 85-100 range to very poor differentiation below 25.
Feminine psychology focuses on issues concerning gender and women's experiences, especially social, economic, and political issues. Karen Horney was a famous psychologist who discussed topics like frigidity, monogamy, maternal conflicts, and the distrust between sexes from the perspective of feminine psychology. She developed her own views on psychoanalytic theory and practice that differed from Freud. The Karen Horney Clinic was founded in 1955 to provide low-cost psychoanalytic and psychotherapy services as well as training opportunities. It aims to serve the mental health needs of a diverse community. Horney's mature theory argued that individuals cope with feelings of being unsafe, unloved, and unvalued by developing defense strategies like moving toward, against, or away

The concept of an "invisible backpack" is introduced, which refers to how our culture, experiences and beliefs unconsciously influence our interactions. The cycle of pain, trauma and harm can be addressed through restoring balance, though harm reduction and focusing on wellness and resilience rather than disease models of health. The theory of the "wounded healer" is presented, where those who have experienced and processed trauma can develop greater empathy and understanding to help others.

This document provides information about codependency, including what it is, where it comes from, symptoms, and how to overcome it. Codependency is an addictive relationship with other people or things where a person's self-worth depends on being in a relationship. It develops as a coping mechanism for dysfunctional families and can stem from substance abuse, mental illness, abuse or neglect. Symptoms include caretaking, low self-esteem, control issues, and responsibility for others. Overcoming codependency involves self-discovery, setting boundaries, and not basing self-worth on others through counseling or support groups. True intimacy involves each person being responsible for their own feelings.
This document provides information on dealing with stress and maintaining balance. It discusses what stress is, balanced versus unbalanced stress, and how feelings of stress that are not respected can manifest physically. It also compares the consequences of competition versus cooperation, discussing how competition can lead to egoism, exclusion and polarization while cooperation can foster equality and consciousness. The document advocates for accepting reality, listening to symptoms, modifying what you can, adjusting work quality, planning long-term, and considering overall context as ways to deal with stress in a balanced manner.
The document discusses incorporating positivity into one's perspective by moving away from a purely Western pathology-based view. It argues that focusing only on problems can lean one toward the negative unconsciously. Instead, it advocates considering positive psychology and resilience factors. These include optimism, self-confidence, adaptability, strong social support systems, and more. The document provides examples of how positivity can aid recovery from difficult experiences through faster emotional processing and greater life satisfaction.
Stress is a state of tension that occurs when external demands exceed a person's ability to cope. It involves perceiving threats both physically and psychologically. Stress can be caused by work, family, relationships, health issues, and poor lifestyle habits. Symptoms of stress include mood changes, headaches, fatigue, illness, and changes in behavior. Stress negatively impacts both physical and mental health as well as work performance and productivity. Cognitive appraisal theory explains how people evaluate and cope with stressors through primary and secondary appraisal and various coping strategies like problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping. Managing stress requires techniques such as relaxation, exercise, diet, social support, communication skills, time management, and asking for help.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
An outline and overview of CFT approaches to psychotherapy presented by Justin La Rose.
Applicability of CFT approaches to anxiety, depression, trauma and shame explored by therapist and mental health educator, Justin La Rose
Trauma wounds victims by disconnecting them from themselves, others, and God. It shatters their sense of self and undermines their belief in a meaningful and safe world. Trauma destroys trust and leaves victims feeling abandoned. Without proper care, this can lead to disorders like PTSD, depression, substance abuse, and more. For healing, helpers must focus on reconnecting victims to themselves, others, and God by rebuilding trust, autonomy, competence and safe relationships through empowering experiences.
Mindfulness in the Health Care Workplace discusses the benefits of mindfulness practices for health care professionals and patients. It defines mindfulness as paying attention to the present moment without judgment. Mindfulness can reduce stress by decreasing rumination and increasing emotional clarity. Loving-kindness meditation is introduced as a practice to cultivate compassion. The presentation observes that loving-kindness meditation helped veterans with PTSD move from hate to love for difficult people and feel relief from long-held anger.
Depression is a complex condition with many contributing factors that is challenging for both sufferers and their support groups. Spirituality can play a role in coping with and recovering from depression. Treatment options include counseling, psychotherapy, medication, and electroconvulsive therapy. Maintaining positive mental health involves social support, physical activity, stress management, and seeking help from professionals when needed. Faith and spiritual practices can also aid the healing process for some. Overcoming depression is a journey that requires hard work, patience, and support from one's community.
Mental health refers to psychological well-being and the ability to think, feel, and act in a positive manner. A healthy mind is capable of experiencing a full range of emotions, deals with reality as it is, accepts oneself and others, and is open to new ideas. Mental illness or disorders affect how a person thinks, feels, and behaves and can be caused by biological, psychological, social and environmental factors. Common signs of mental illness include changes in self-care, mood, sleep, and social interactions. Examples of mental disorders discussed include depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
The document provides tips for breaking free from bondage and achieving freedom. It discusses the six enemies that bind us like lust, pride, greed and anger.

Existential therapy focuses on helping clients find meaning and purpose in life. It explores themes like morality, freedom, responsibility and the meaning of life. Key figures who influenced existential therapy include Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Frankl, May and Yalom. Existential therapists believe humans are free and responsible for their choices. The therapist-client relationship is important, with the therapist assisting the client in broadening their self-awareness and considering new options. The goal is for clients to accept responsibility for their lives rather than blaming external forces.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

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.
10 Benefits an EPCR Software should Bring to EMS Organizations Traumasoft LLC
The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.

3. CAUSES
UNKNOWN ! ! ! … but …
Chemical or psychological? … what kind of cure? … not advanced
enough…primitive science
“Depression was something braided so deep into us that there was no
separating it from our character and personality”
Depression is the flaw in Love…
Confuse depression, grief and sadness
Genetic vulnerability … and triggering circumstances …
4. TREATMENTS
• Chemical and psychological both have a role to play… treatments re
appalling… side effects… grateful now, not 50 years ago…
• Ways people make themselves better …
• Medication, certain kinds of therapy, maybe ECT … are conservative
treatments
• Depression is an illness of how you feel, tolerance of vast world of
alternative treatments … but not one size fits all … need perspective
… and reflection/awareness … how do I feel now
5. ATTITUDES
• Of the sufferer
• Courage, optimism, shame, feeling ridiculous, feeling overwhelmed,
• Not to be talked about [who wants to hear about me?]
• Of others
• A weakness of character, A middle class problem, not to be talked about [family
secret, can’t intrude, embarrassing…]
• Both – a False Moral Imperative, treatment an interference with
self, not natural,
6. FURTHER INSIGHTS / COMMENTS
• You know its ridiculous [sufferers are not without their ordinary
faculties]
• Acute anxiety – depression – sensation of being afraid [can we
compare these, as worse or better, or just all bad?]
• Medication making me someone else [Who Am I? Do I know?]
• Burdensome nature of secrecy [exhaustion, takes up time and
energy]
7. LIVING WITH DEPRESSION
• The opposite of depression is VITALITY
• Mood is Adaptive, Depression is Maladaptive
• Those who deny experience are enslaved by it
• Needs are our greatest assets, they bring SEEKING and
LEARNING
8. ILLS OF THE MODERN WORLD
- WAYS WE CAN MAKE OURSELVES BETTER
Meritocracy – both good fortune and bad exist – have as much to do
with success or failure as talent and energy
Individualism – don’t aim for SPECIAL/STAR – celebrate heroism of
ordinary life
Secularism – look for that which is beyond us – sea, stars, deserts,
music, transcendence
Romanticism – build relationships from friendships and interests, not
ideals and sex
Media – look for solutions, not outrage, etc. systemic issues not
scapegoats, local news
