Why Bedroom Colors Have A Psychological Effect On Us

Image
Most people won't need a lot of persuasion to be convinced that the colors of their bedrooms have a effect on their mental state. And if you are not a believer yet, just paint your bedroom jet black and you should be able to experience the negative effects it would have on your mood within a week of sleeping in it.  There are basically two categories of colors that interior designers classify into when selecting colors for a room.  Warm and cool colors.  Warm colors stilmulate the mind and are most appropriate for places where people often gather for activities. This is why they are great for common spaces such as the living room.  It is also why we often see event spaces where people rent for parties painted with colors like bright yellow or orange. These warm colors help to keep the energy vibrant. Enticing people to get into the mood of taking part in activities.  Cool colors help to relax the mind and are suitable for bedrooms ...

Field Guide To The American Teenager: A Survival Guide For Parents

Image
One evening a number of years ago, two mental health professionals, Jerome C. Vergamini, MD and Ray Miskimins, Ph.D., away from their offices on a steelhead fishing vacation decided to put their heads together to collaborate on a book about teens. The result of that decision is the book "Field Guide To The American Teenager: A Survival Guide For Parents" . We have conducted an interview with the authors. Every teen is different and while writing this book, how do you seek to address all the possible issues faced by parents today? We did not seek to address all the possible issues facing parents of teens. That would be an impossible task. We had hoped to give parents some basic information on the most important topics related to parenting teenagers, as well as some resources for parents about issues beyond the scope of this book. We started the book with information about growth and developmental stages in teens and about communication with them and then proceeded t...

Audrey Tang is a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) with the British Psychological Society, working as a training consultant, FIRO-B coach and writer. Her book " Be a Great Manager Now " was published by Pearson in May 2016. She is an accredited speaker - presenting at National and International conferences, a resident guest expert (Positive Psychology) on The Chrissy B Show (Sky 203), and the host of a local radio show in the UK "LifestyleMK" on Secklow Sounds. We have conducted an interview with her. Why makes “positive psychology” special? Positive psychology focuses on what is right and how to make that even better, rather than what is wrong and bringing us to the “norm”. For example, if a child is being bullied, rather than focus solely on making amends, channel the child’s energies into a new hobby (or similar) – they will associate with a new group of friends and this will build their self confidence…in turn, this makes it easier to deal with the...

Dr. Hardy trained in community mental health centers throughout New England where he worked with clients suffering from a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, eating disorders, self-harm, and vocational issues. Cullen also works with couples to help them improve their intimacy and relationship. We have conducted an interview with him. How does using an integrated approach while incorporating Cognitive Behavioral methods and a narrative perspective empower your clients? Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is what many people think of as “traditional therapy.” Without going into a long explanation about what CBT is and how it works, the basic (very basic) premise is that if one changes patterns of thinking or behavior then this can affect the way someone feels. Put another way, if you change m...
