Most often, human beings view themselves as consisting of that small conscious part of themselves known as the ego. Yet the ego is only a small part of the entirity of what we are, most of which is unconscious. Often, it's only when the ego is depleted, and at the end of its resources that we begin to get some sense of the capacities and life-giving potential of the greater Self. This awareness is increasingly grounded in the discoveries of neuroscience and evolutionary psychology.
Selected passages from "Facing Death" by Robert Kavanagh (1974). Kavanagh emphasizes the need for us to truly and honestly confront our real feelings and emotions about death. Only when we know and acknowledge our true feelings will we no longer need to pummel and smash our emotional selves behind artificial defences. This message has particular importance for dealing with the death of a parent.
In Jungian personality theory, people fall into a number of types. Firstly, individuals fall somewhere along the introversion-extroversion continuum, depending on whether they are primarily oriented to their own inner reality, or the outer world. In addition, everyone has a dominant function, one of: thinking; feeling; sensation or intuition.
But from a depth psychotherapy perspective, what is particularly important about Jungian personality theory is the orientation where the individual is weak. FOr it is those weak parts of the personality, that the person is seeking to develop and to come to wholeness or individualtion. So, we can learn a great deal about ourselves, if we can undersatnd our areas of inherent weakness, and where psyche is trying to work towards wholeness.

Building Enterprise Products - For Moving Targets of Customer Needs and OutcomesMurali Erraguntala
Building new product is an exciting phase in the career of every Product Manager and each Product Manager would yearn for an opportunity to conceptualize, build and launch new products. The primary goal of every product manager is to ensure the commercial success of new product. Yet, only 50% of new products succeed [1]. New product development is definitely a challenge and Product Manager falters somewhere during the course of building new product. In order to provide some guidance to build new products, I decided to drop my experiences of building new product. Please note that some of the information listed as part of this guide may be biased because of my experiences of building and sustaining B2B HW product of an existing product line.
The primary reason for drafting the guide is to streamline my experiences of building a new product and share actionable points as part of the guide. I have learned about Product Management by reading books, blogs, articles etc and primarily through my role as a Product Manager. The guide is a way of giving back to my fraternity and sharing my experiences. I would be deeply humbled if someone finds the guide helpful and I am open to comments to make it better. The information shared in this guide is already available in my blog @ www.ProductGuy.in. I appreciate if you could visit my blog and drop your thoughts/comments.

Organizations are good at talking about and choosing change but equally important are the plans we develop bring others along with the change. Wise leaders are turning to neuroscience and cognitive psychology to break through our natural "guardians of change." One helpful tool could be what's called the ACE plan, a three-step approach to make transition management stick. In addition, you'll learn why our brains resist change and how to design strategies that make our thinking caps more receptive. Take back a fresh strategy that invites and empowers other to be positively part of the change process.
Brand Name Development Using The Free Pizza Method (a bad idea)Mark Prus
Many companies try to develop names by using the "Free Pizza" method. That's when someone orders pizza after work and people stay late to generate names. This is a bad idea and this presentation shows why.
Your speech is amazing. As you look out at the audience, they are on the edge of their seats; they’re nodding, and engrossed in every word that you say.
You’re about out of time and you need to wrap it up, so you say:
• “Who has questions for me?”
• “Well, that's all I have for you."
• "Thanks for your time."
• Rambling until time runs out and sprinting off stage.
• “Buy my stuff.”
If you ever ended your presentation with one of these statements, then you’ve done it. You’ve blown your close.
The conclusion is the most valuable real estate in any speech. Why? Your audience remembers MOST what they hear LAST. Social psychologists call this "The Recency Effect." And because of this psychological gem, you need to write a conclusion that leaves a lasting impression.
How do you do that? Read on. There are three parts to a conclusion that gets remembered and helps your message spread.

TestOps is the reclusive member of the DevOps family. Although we’ve heard stories, most of us have never seen it in the wild. I’ve turned to my personal experience to search for clues about what TestOps is. Join me on an adventure as we explore the things that happen when the worlds of testing and operations collide, with real-life stories about choosing an AWS architecture, tackling an environment migration and mitigating a DOS attack. Finally, we’ll dare to look into the future at what can happen when applying a TestOps mentality to our job and what regular teams can do to get there.
Barcamp: Noise, Chaos and Deceptive Signals: Product Management in a StartupAlek Kowalczyk
You have a startup idea. You completed the team and did first tests on the market. You brainstormed features and created impressive product roadmap. You release the MVP and... no traction. Friends tell you that your product is brilliant. Mentors suggest significant redesign. Users escape and tell you they miss a key feature. Startup product management is a cacophony of false signals, noise and chaos. And you have to take wrong, but good decisions. This is my story about.

The challenge of accepting our lives, and the things that happen in our lives is not a small one, but it is often crucially related to the sense that "I feel trapped in my life". If, through psychotherapy, we can find ways to accept the things in our lives that are inherently difficult or impossible to welcome, then we can begin togain acceptance of the difficult events in our lives, and the capacity to re-commit to our life journey.
The sense of being trapped in one's life is not uncommon. Many people have it. "I feel trapped in my life" is a particularly common feeling at midlife, and in the second half of life. THere are many different ways in which people can have the experience of feeling trapped in their lives. People may experience it in their work lives, in their experience of family, in their relationship with their significant other, or possible just in a general sense of "something missing in my life".
To get beyond this feeling often requires a journey into out inner life, into the unconscious.
Phobias are fears that are rooted in responses to the environment that helped us, and were appropriate, in the original environments that human beings inhabited.
In dealing with phobias as part of the overall process of dealing with stress and anxiety, it's important to accept that those responses are rooted in our genetic heritage, in our "2 million year old person", and so accept that part of ourselves. Simultaneously we need to recognize how and why that particular anxiety response may have gotten out of hand, and taking steps to help that part of ourselves feel better. That's where depth psychotherapy may be of immense help.
The first and second adulthoods... and why they matterBrian Collinson
C.G. Jung described the division of our adult life into two parts, the first and second adulthoods. He noted that the first adulthood is much more driven by upholding the values and fulfilling the agenda of the social collective order, which the "second adulthood", commencing often at midlife, is much more concerned with individual priorities, and what the individual him- or herself finds particularly meaningful. In this second phase, the question of "What is my life's work? may become particularly crucial.
Holiday depression and stress have a variety of causes, many of them rooted in memories and experiences of holiday seasons in the past, both in experience in the family of origin and in other major life events that have occurred. The question posed by these events is, how can we dela creatively with holiday depression and stress?
There is an unconscious impetus in the human psyche to find wholeness, and it manifests in the the form of symbols or images of wholeness. These appear in art, in dreams, sometimes in absent-minded doodling. These images are important, because they are mostly attractive, and they draw us towards experiencing a "felt sense" of wholeness.
This phrase has been variously translated, but the essence of it is that we each carry our fate within us, and fulfillment is expressing and living out the true self.
Research by experts in the psychology of terrorism has established that many potential terrorists share similar psychological attitudes. Particularly important among this is the desire to establish a secure sense of identity and belinging. Although there are an incredible number of differences betweens the two groups, in this respect, potential terrorists share something in common with those undergoing major life transitions.
Anxiety and the future are major themes of modern life. In an age when religion and the dominant myths of the society are in decline, and there is extremely rapid change, there is a sense that things cannot be adequately predicted or controlled, and anxiety about the future is rampant. However, there is a difference between healthy anxiety, and it's unhealthy counterpart. Being adequately grounded in the self is a key requirement to keep anxiety healthy and manageable.
In the SlideShare presentation that follows, I look at some creative ways in which we can begin the essential soul work of finding the meaning of the second half of life.
Dreamwork that is rooted in psychology and depth psychotherapy brings very definite benefits to us.
Dreams can bring the perspective of the unconscious into connection with our conscious live, which can be a very important and life-giving thing. But to obtain this benefit, it takes diligence in recording the dreams, patience in bringing them into psychotherapy sessions, and hard work with the symbols the dreams present.
What I can learn about myself from my dreams depends very much on how much effort that I put into recording them, and on whether I'm prepared to be patient (and to have a bit of humility) in uncovering their meaning.
The emergence of new meaning is often tied to the emergence of new symbols in a person's life. This process may be of particular importance when the individual is dealing with issues of identity crisis and meaning.
As Jungian analyst Andrew Samuels tells us,
Symbols are captivating pictorial statements.... indistinct, metaphoric and enigmatic portrayals of psychic reality. [The meaning of symbols] is far from obvious; ...it is expressed in unique and individual terms while at the smae time partaking of universal imagery. ...[R]eflected on and related to, they can be recognised as aspects of those images that control, order and give meaning to our lives. Symbols... are expressions of something intensely alive... "stirring" in the soul.
Symbolism is linked to unconscious processes: old symbols die, and new ones come to life in the psyche.
But what are the gifts of summer, the gifts that the kind of consciousness represented by the summer solstice may potentially bring?
Not Cole's "lazy, hazy crazy days of summer"... may provide some opportunity for leisure, to reflect and to contemplate things, in a way that the rest of the year might not as easily allow, enables us to experience some aspects of the self that don't appear in the regular routine.
Perhaps this ia a chance to connect with the depths of soul, and to really feel the importance of self-awareness, as we travel the journey of the rest of the year.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image
