My ideal relaxation is working on upholstry. I spend hours in junk shops buying furniture. I do all the upholstery work myself and it's like therapy.
You don't attack the grunts of Vietnam you blame the theory behind the war. Nobody who fought in that war was at fault. It was the war itself that was at fault. It's the same thing with psychotherapy.
Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.
I've never found therapy to be a sign of weakness I've found the opposite to be true. The willingness to have a mirror held up to you definitely requires strength.
I've always loved sports and hockey is a sport I play as much as I can. I love it. In a weird way it's like church and therapy and exercise all rolled up into one. I mean when I play hockey I don't think about anything.
Psychotherapy theory turns it all on you: you are the one who is wrong. If a kid is having trouble or is discouraged the problem is not just inside the kid it's also in the system the society.
Smile it's free therapy.
I had people in my life who didn't give up on me: my mother my aunt my science teacher. I had one-on-one speech therapy. I had a nanny who spent all day playing turn-taking games with me.
Therapy was the biggest romance of my life.
Individual psychotherapy - that is engaging a distressed fellow human in a disciplined conversation and human relationship - requires that the therapist have the proper temperament and philosophy of life for such work. By that I mean that the therapist must be patient modest and a perceptive listener rather than a talker and advice-giver.
You know I think that going into therapy is a very positive thing and talking about it is really helpful because the more you talk the more your fears fade because you get it out.
If you do your research on hot springs all over the world they're usually places of peace. People even in warring nations and so forth they'll go and live in peace together around the hot springs which were always considered medicinal. I firmly believe in water therapy.
I found music to be the therapy of choice.
Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.
For many people managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy acupuncture yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole - their mind body and spirit.
Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past it is a therapy of sorts but to be honest my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.
I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isn't always the best way and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it.
When David Arquette and I got engaged we started therapy together. I'd heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest so we decided to work through all that stuff early.
A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality why things go wrong why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else it's to do with me.
I believe that the testing of the student's achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by the teacher is directly contrary to the implications of therapy for significant learning.
I got problems. I freak out go to a shrink go through all kinds of therapy and stuff but I'm learning how to deal with it. That's why I've chosen one hour a night to get all of my aggressions out. to really tell the world the way I feel.
Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world.
Like all parents my husband and I just do the best we can hold our breath and hope we've set aside enough money for our kid's therapy.
Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don't have to take it home with you at night. It's the stuff between the lines the empty space between those lines which is interesting.
When I meet large women who walk with confidence and are articulate and really have an understanding of how they walk in this world I love them so deeply for being able to overcome such unbelievable odds.
