Do You Have a Hard Time Trusting Anyone? There is Hope for Changing!

The number of people who feel this way -- or the frequency of this problem -- might surprise some people. Once a person gets into the psychological rut of not trusting, it can be very difficult to get out of it. I discuss how to try in my new video...

Are You in an Unhappy Relationship, Family Dynamic or Toxic Workplace? What's Happening Psychologically

People can't stuck STAYING in dysfunction -- staying in a job situation that makes your miserable, or a romantic relationship or family dynamic that is dysfunctional, a downward behavior spiral -- the list goes on. Usually, when someone stays in dysfunction, they do because they crossed an invisible line. They STARTED PLAYING A PARTICULAR ROLE.

Check out my Dr. Seth: Psychologist video which explain simply and briefly the psychological process here.

Why Do People Get Stuck in Dysfunctional Situations? Psychologically, They Start Playing a Role

Why do people STAY in dysfunction -- whether in their romantic relationship, family dynamic, or work situation that is making them miserable? In video # 2 in my new series, I explain the psychological process of how an isolated behavior becomes a pattern -- and then becomes a role. Don't do it, folks!!

How Do Define a "Strong" Person? Do You Think of Yourself as Emotionally Strong?

In over 20 years of being a clinical psychologist, I have found that there are two different types of "strong" people. One type -- you might not think of as strong until you take a moment to think it about more.

I discuss this issue on my Dr. Seth: Psychologist YouTube channel with hundreds of self-improvement videos!

Who Do You Jump or Have an Extreme Startle Response, Even When It Doesn't Make Sense?

Do you know anyone who has a startle response -- at the littlest thing -- that doesn't seem "rational" or like it makes any sense at all? Maybe they jump at the smallest sound or touch? Maybe it's actually you. Sometimes this is an indicator of past trauma -- the body on HIGH ALERT even if it might not need to be anymore.

I talk about this in my new video on my Dr. Seth: Psychologist YouTube channel below.

What Do People Mean When They Say "Sense of Self" & How It's Not the Same Thing as Self-Esteem

You've probably heard the term "sense of self," but is it the same as self-esteem? No. To get a good sense of what it means, I tip my hat to some of the old school New York psychoanalysts and break it down for viewers.
