It shows up under any number of guises, from the more mundane to more serious versions: “I’m not going to try to learn how to waterski because I know I won’t be any good at it.” “Anything less than an A is not a good enough grade.” “I need to punish myself for not being perfect.” Perfectionists engage in multiple problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They tend to fear failure, disapproval, and making mistakes. Sometimes they fear success. They overemphasize “shoulds” and engage in all-or-nothing thinking. They constantly pressure themselves to succeed. A shameful belief about inner “badness” often is at the core of pe...

However, when the environment in which you make your bread and butter damages your self-esteem and robs you of self-confidence, you can’t exactly walk out… if you want to eat that night. What to do? More than a few friends have complained to me recently about toxic workplaces and their dilemma of how to live sanely within insane walls. So I thought about this more, consulted some experts, and offer a few suggestions. 1. Keep the focus on you. Just like you learn in a 12-step groups for friends and families of alcoholics, the only person you can totally control is yourself, so it’s best to begin there. Theoretically, no one can make you feel a certain way unless you allo...

You’re only two sentences into this blog post, but I’ll bet you’re already thinking about switching tabs to see if you have any comments on that new Facebook wall post you just made. Now you’ve reached the second paragraph, and I know you want to — have to, in fact — refresh your Gmail just one more time. Or check your @replies on Twitter, again, just like you did five minutes ago. Or pull up Reddit, again, hoping to see that red/orange envelope all lit up to notify you of a brand new message. Wait — did you hear something vibrate from across the room? Was it your phone? Maybe you should go and check your texts. Technology can scatter our attention into about a million directions at onc...

There’s nothing quite like it—those rhythmic twirpings that say, “The food is microwaved.” Charlie having become quite proficient at making his own afterschool snacks thanks to this modern technological innovation (and the phenomenon of frozen food), it’s a sound heard often at out place around 3pm, every weekday. Imagine the response to hearing 49 microwaves set to play Jingle Bells—-now that’s some holiday cheer.

We’re all for the most natural, simple treatments available. And this one really sounded good! What could be better than telling parents, “Hey, take your kid for a walk in the park and your child’s ADHD will be less severe.” So why does this study make us hold our noses? Besides the small sample size (which should raise warning bells for anyone who thinks this could apply to everyone), the other red warning flag to me was the use of the Digit Span Backwards test as the sole measure for t...

It may be because their brains simply don’t react to negative feedback as teens’ and adults’ brains do. So says recent research published in the Journal of Neuroscience. Eight-year-old children have a radically different learning strategy from twelve-year-olds and adults. Eight-year-olds learn primarily from positive feedback (’Well done!’), whereas negative feedback (’Got it wrong this time’) scarcely causes any alarm bells to ring. Twelve-year-olds are better able to process negative feedback, and use it to learn from their mistakes. Adults do the same, but more efficiently. The researcher can...

They are “typically annoying,” said Dr. [Robert] Zatorre [Co-Director of the BRAMS: Brain Music and Sound lab at the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University]. We often can’t control it, the sounds won’t go away, and they loop, repeating a refrain or short segment of music. I asked if earworms are related to symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and he said they are “maybe a mild form of obsessive thoughts” since they are intrusive, but everyone experiences them. The auditory cortex is extremely efficient, he ex... Autism Vox blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1115102 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 21:17:26 +0100 1115102
