8 Reasons We Don’t Do Things We Should and How To Break the Mould

Discuss or comment on this article.
Our lives are full of things we “should” do but for a range of reasons we don’t do them. Whatever it is – exercise, healthy eating, saving money – most of the time we choose to take the easier road, the road well traveled.
While I’m certainly not immune to this, there are plenty of things I don’t do that I know I should, I feel that understand the why is the first step to making real progress.
1. Being Comfortable (and Lack of a Burning Desire)
It all starts with how we feel about our life. How we feel greatly affects our motivations. Most people are in some form of comfort, but it...

12 Bad Habits of Therapists

Psychotherapy is a unique relationship, a kind of connection that is unlike any other kind of relationship a person has in their life. In some ways, it can be more intimate than our most intimate relationships, but it also paradoxically values a vestige of professional distance between therapist and client.
Therapists, alas, are just as human as the clients they see and come with the same human foibles. They have bad habits, as we all do, but some of those habits have the very real potential of interfering with the psychotherapy process and the unique psychotherapy relationship.
So without further ado, here are twelve thin...

How Do You Treat Empty-Nest Depression?

Several mom friends of mine have lately come down with a bad case of “empty-nest depression” — moms who just dropped off their youngest offspring to college, or moms having difficulty keeping busy now that the youngest is in kindergarten all day.
I googled the term “empty-nest depression” to see what I could find on this topic. I was surprised to see the Beyond Blue post I wrote in 2007 at the top of the search results. But, after reading it, I can see why it was so popular. I merely asked a question, and all of you answered it. On the comment box of that post are written different kinds of co...

The post I recently did about learning to accept the things I cannot change got me thinking about a negative behavior that I was riddled with in active addiction...not facing problems head on.
The behavior of avoiding problematic situations is something that is very common with addicts. See, the key to successfully living in denial about all of your problems is to numb yourself into oblivion until you don't think about them anymore. Simple right?
So what happens when you are no longer numbing away your problems with drugs or alcohol? Well, unless you want to continue living a miserable life that is completely based on deni...

They’re slogans, if you will, that we use to get through/past that part of a conversation. Slogans may be trite and glib but they’ve helped elect officials, sell products and recruit militaries for centuries.

As Dr. John Grohol has cogently argued, there are many reasons to be skeptical of “Internet Addiction” as a discrete and specific “disorder” or diagnosis. Yet I am impressed, and a bit dismayed, by all the attention this issue seems to garner in the popular media. I don’t intend any disrespect to the reporters and journalists who are trying to cover the topic, several of whom have graciously interviewed me. Some reporters are as skeptical as many of us in the mental health field, and a number have asked pertinent questions as to how real so-called Internet addiction is. I simply wish that deva...

If you’re a Chinese astronaut and you have bad breath, you can say good-bye to your dream of going into space. They also don’t want you if you have body odor or a runny nose. The administrators say that this would make life too uncomfortable for the other astronauts in the cabin.
Other astronaut hopefuls were eliminated if they had scars. The experts said that the scar tissue could burst open in extreme conditions of space. I wonder if that’s true and if astronauts from other countries have the same restriction. And what kind of scar? I know very few people who don’t have any scar at all, the most c...
