Psychotherapist for everyone!

Psychotherapist for everyone!
It seems to me that most people do not use the services of psychotherapists simply because they are not aware of this perfect opportunity. On the Internet you can find so many questions to psychologists - people who passionately want to change something in their lives are randomly looking for answers and tips on the network, not even knowing that there is such a great tool, as psychotherapy. But in my opinion this is not the only problem of the popularizat...

Psychological T-Shirts

Psychological T-Shirts
…or, What Is Written on Our Face. Do you like T-shirts with funny captions? Transactional analysis has a theory about “psychological T-shirts”, on whose front we carry the message we send to the world. This is a message people usually notice at once: it is perceived in conversation, tone, behaviour, looks, facial expression, gestures, and sometimes even in dressing style and posture. We all wear such “T-shirts”, but some of us will have a dozen, changin...

Moving According to Pamela Levin Theory or My Spiral Inside Spirals

Moving According to Pamela Levin Theory or My Spiral Inside Spirals
I hope you are familiar with the theory of cyclic development of Pamela Levin. If not, I can briefly explain. The concept suggests that each person develops, passing certain stages. And after all these stages of development people are starting to take the same steps again, but on a different level. Similar to a spiral movement. But still, this same theory says that every important event in our lives, starts a new "branch" of the main spiral, which will ...

9 Myths about Bilinguals

9 Myths about Bilinguals
There are many myths about who can be called a bilingual, and about the whole phenomenon of bilingualism. Here are the most common ones: Bilingualism is a rare phenomenon. Nope! According to a rough statistics calculation, more than half the world's population uses two or more languages. So in today's world, monolingualism is a more rare phenomenon. Bilingualism is common in even officially monolingual countries - it unites people of different age...

The Curse of Procrastination

The Curse of Procrastination
I think that in some way, everybody is familiar with procrastination - postponing important things, mindlessly scrolling through news feeds on social networks, and watching dozens of episodes of mindless sitcoms, as well as many other irrelevant and useless affairs that somehow become wedged into our more important and rational plans. I was planning to write this article a few months ago. But, of course, I had a lot of other important things to do - rep...

A Little Bit More about Bilingual People

A Little Bit More about Bilingual People
First of all, I would like to say that bilinguals or multilinguals are considered to be those who can use and understand several languages to some extent. A lot of people believe that in order to be like this, you must have been born and grown up in a multilingual environment, but that’s not quite true. After all, there are actually three types of bilinguals. Compound bilinguals - These are people who can perceive and understand several languages from e

Stranger in a Strange Land- Process of Adaption to a New Cultural Environment

Stranger in a Strange Land- Process of Adaption to a New Cultural Environment
According to the UK National Statistics Office, only in 2015 the country adopted 630,000 immigrants. It’s a little more than entire population of Glasgow. Or one and a half of Manchester. On the one hand, these people brought a part of their lives with them. Due to migration image of the country and its culture are changing. But immigrants themselves change a lot more. After moving they have to go through long and difficult, but to a certain extent an exci...

What is Supervision, and Why Would Anyone Need It?

What is Supervision, and Why Would Anyone Need It?
To be perfectly frank, the concept of supervision is a relatively new one for me. It may seem strange, but I never came across this term when I was studying psychology basics at university. Once I finally learned about the practice of supervision, I sighed with relief. Everything had come together for me, and my perception of psychotherapy changed from an unsteady, risky practice into an almost exact science. So, who is a supervisor? Simply put, this sp...

My friends and acquaintances often ask me to advise them on finding a psychotherapist, and I understand that the topic of choosing a psychotherapist will always remain relevant for those who seek support and assistance. If you really think that you need psychotherapy, it can be difficult to make a decision when looking for a specialist.
