HOW PLAY THERAPY HELP KIDS WITH EMOTIONS

Image
There are a lot of things a Children might not be able to express and there can be a lot of reasons why. Lack of vocabulary, lack of self-confidence, strict parents are few of them.  Play therapy , is an intervention first performed by Freud in 1909 when he met a kid who displayed phobic symptoms. He initiated therapeutic play methods to help the kid cope with his fear. From 1960 onwards, Filial Therapy (discovered by Bernard and Guerney) became known as Play Therapy. It became a method of responding and meeting children's mental health needs.  Play Therapy begins with the kid exploring all sorts of toys and games available in the play room that are age appropriate. When a child struggles or goes through a situation, his selection of toys entirely depends on his emotional state. Then, it’s entirely therapist’s observation to interpret how the child plays.

WHY BEING MULTILINGUAL CHANGES YOUR THINKING PATTERN.

Y ou might know that being Multilingual has its own perks. You can always have the opportunity of moving your positions within an organization . This is an advantage to your career as well as for the industry you'll work in.  Being multilingual becomes handy in multiple ways! Use of more than one or two languages by an individual speaker is called Multilingualism.  That's the basic definition.  We've all had that one extra course in our school or College, that sucked our brains out. Unfamiliar, Different Culture, hard to pronounce and even hard to remember and then there were those teachers who wouldn't leave any chance of bashing us in front of whole class. One thing surfaces in your head " Geez! It's   not my first language, get over it!" What you may find monotonous in your School days, may be very helpful in the future. Now, let me continue with the advantage being Multilinguistic brings to you.  -  Helps in memorizing and processing  ...

LET'S TALK ABOUT PLACEBO EFFECT!

W hat do you understand by Replacing ?  Yes, it is exchanging a thing with another one. Like we all do with the shopkeepers (or at least some of us) . Don't we all buy something that was screaming at us, as soon as we step in front of it, to take it home; but later on we regret it?  Waste of my money!   So, we go back to the same shop and exchange it to something else or the  same product with other features. This is called Replacement . What i talked about in the above paragraph was very similar to what doctors do to certain assigned cases. Placebo Effect,   is a phenomenon in which the placebo drug/ medicine   although inactive medically, tends to work just as functionally in patient's head. Confused?  Let me give you an example to make it easy.   Story about a child diagnosed with Leukemia  Stage 3 , was referred to the best Children Cancer Hospital. The kid was only 10 years old, too young to ...

WHAT IS HATE AND WHY DO WE HATE?

Image
D oesn't it all start with Vibes? And somehow, it leads from disliking to hate ?  Let's start this with a question : "Do you hate someone because of What they do? Or because of who they are?". It's really important, to know if you've been thinking in the right direction or not.  If your answer is latter, then that's pretty messed up.  HATE , is an emotion of aversion  towards other person or group, that is also paired up with enmity and malice, all because of our brain and hormones. When you meet a   friend of your bestfriend, a person with a great personality, but she's closer to your bestfriend than you are! Isn't that a reason enough for you start envying that person? So, now whenever you meet your bestfriend, you try to avoid talking about that girl. Clearly, it's not hate, but enviousy - A perplexing emotion. Because not only enviousy is sometimes a good sign, but when left unadressed, they take route to hate. Envious people ...
