Is keeping emotions “bottled up” dangerous?
 In my callow and shallow youth, I used to subscribe to the “teapot model” of emotions. You know, our emotional systems are like teapots with water boiling, generating steam and pressure. If the steam does not have an outlet, or the outlet becomes overwhelmed by too much steam expanding too quickly . . . POW !!! Explosion !!! |

Unveiling the Magic of Greetings and Goodbyes
Musings from the Comfort of My Bed:
Unveiling the Magic of Greetings and Goodbyes
Good Morning Friends (and I really do hope you are having a good morning!) Picture this: I’m lying in bed this morning, not fully awake, but lost in a my meandering thoughts thoughts. For whatever reason, I go to thinking about something we all do—greetings and goodbyes. You know, those little rituals we perform almost automatically? According to TA (Transactional Analysis) They’re the most basic form of human connection. “Hello” responded to by “Hello” is a single transaction. It would be difficult to get much more basic other than perhaps a head nod. But here’s the thing: at least in the West, they’ve become second nature, almost like a reflex, and we hardly give them a second thought. In fact, they are often completely automatic and unconscious. They’re just the social grease that keeps our daily interactions rolling smoothly.

What is the purpose of life?
|
We have been having a great time with our friends over at the REBT-CBT Forum discussing the timeless question, What is the Purpose of Life? Actually, REBT has quite a bit to say about this, but I fear that what it has to say is not very satisfying to those who raise the question!
