The dark is vital for your growth. Usually life is very contradictory. Identification of the dark side can be helpful. Knowing what affects you, what thought mistreats you, what behaviour takes you back in life then identifying it and countering it can help in self growth. Usually humans are contradictory and very selfish and when mixed with diplomacy usually become dangerous. The only offense to this, would be to able to counter the dark traits and using it for you

Understand yourself and those around you.

Atomic Habits

Each of these quotes, from different philosophical backgrounds, converge on the idea that within each individual lies great potential and strength. The journey to becoming the best version of oneself often involves a process of self-discovery, embracing challenges, and cultivating habits that lead to excellence

Unleash the inner beast within

Don't think, act! You need to fight like a Viltrumite if you don't do this were all dead. You, me, your brother and every single Thraxan on this planet!

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are."

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

“Gohan, let it go. It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are those who words alone will not reach. Cell is such a being. I know how you feel, Gohan. You are gentle; you do not like to hurt. I know because I, too, have learned these feelings, but it is because you cherish life, that you must protect it. Please, drop your restraints. Protect the life I loved. You have the strength. My scanners sensed it. Just let it go.”

"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how."

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

The concept of unleashing one's inner potential or becoming the best version of oneself is a common theme in various philosophical traditions.

Now in his Perfect Form, Cell is stronger than any creature alive--even the muscled-out new form of the mighty Saiyans. Finding no competition on Earth, Cell invades a TV studio and gives the world an ultimatum: produce a fighter who can beat him in one-on-one combat, or he will methodically slaughter every living thing! But does the human race...or even the Saiyan race...have a champion who can go up against Cell? Plus the alternate-timeline story of Trunks' origin! -- VIZ Media

The psychiatric interview differs from the general clinical interview in a number of respects. As Sullivan pointed out, the psychiatrist is considered an expert in the field of interpersonal relations, and accordingly the patient expects to find more than a sympathetic listener. Any person seeking psychological help justifiably expects expert handling in the interview.

The Psychiatric Interview

Interviews in nonpsychiatric branches of medicine generally emphasize medical history taking, the purpose of which is to obtain facts that facilitate the establishment of a correct diagnosis and the institution of appropriate treatment. That interview is organized around the present illness, the past history, the family history, and the review of systems.

The Patient's History

The patient's fear of looking beneath his defenses is not the only basis for concealment in the interview. Every person is concerned with the impression he makes on others. If the patient suspects that some of less admirable aspects of his personality are involved in his illness, he may be unwilling to disclose such material until he is certain that he will not lose the interviewer's respect as he exposes himself.

The Patient's Fear

Much has changed in the critical interval since the last edition of The Psychiatric Interview in Clinical Practice was published. This new, third edition provides an up-to-date examination of the psychiatric interview that reflects changes introduced in DSM-5, while continuing to recognize that describing symptoms and establishing a diagnosis should command only a portion of the clinician's attention, and that a patient's personal history must be elicited and character structure addressed in the clinical engagement. Significant advances have been made in biological psychiatry, and research in genetics, cognitive neuroscience, psychopharmacology, brain imaging, and the neurosciences in general continues apace, informing the culture of psychiatry and providing growing insight into the etiology of mental illnesses. However, the book reflects the authors' belief that virtually all major psychiatric disorders are complex amalgams of genetic disposition and environmental influences. In this context, the psychiatric interview is a vitally important dialogue, and effective strategies are modeled through the use of clinical vignettes taken from the authors' experience. Topics and features of this new edition include: * An updating of diagnostic considerations to reflect the publication of DSM-5.* A chapter on interviewing the patient with dissociative identity disorder (DID), which is now recognized as an entity distinct from other psychopathological conditions and rooted in childhood trauma. The frequency of DID in the ambulatory setting has been repeatedly demonstrated and speaks to the need to accurately diagnose and treat this often-debilitating disorder.* An entirely updated chapter on interviewing the traumatized patient.* A section on interviewing the patient of different background. The book emphasizes that the subjective experience of being &quot;different&quot; is universal and that psychiatry is enriched by recognizing and exploring that experience, validating its existence, and attempting to understand how it influences the patient's life.* Continued emphasis on and inclusion of relevant case vignettes drawn from the authors' clinical experiences.* Structural consistency across chapters, with sections on psychopathology and psychodynamics, differential diagnosis, management of the interview, transference and countertransference, and so forth, which reinforces skills acquisition and makes the text easy to use. By creating a text that is aligned with DSM-5 while continuing to stress the importance of eliciting the patient's subjective experience and achieving a therapeutic dialogue, the authors of The Psychiatric Interview in Clinical Practice have done a great service to the profession and provided much-needed guidance to mental health clinicians and trainees.

The Psychiatric Interview in Clinical Practice, Third Edition

Ask a ten-year-old what you should do if you catch a cold and the child would immediately recommend getting into bed and drinking chicken soup. Children also know that if you break a bone in your leg you need to get a cast on it so it mends correctly.But ask an adult what you should do to ease the sharp pain of rejection, the devastating ache of loneliness, or the bitter disappointment of failure and the person would know little about how to treat these common psychological injuries.

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">While in every house we have a medicine cabinet full of stuff for treating basic physical illnesses, we have no such toolkit for the minor psychological injuries we sustain in daily life.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Consequently, we do little to treat the small psychological wounds we experience daily, neglecting them until they become severe enough to impair our functioning.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Applying emotional first aid to such injuries can prevent many of them from affecting our mental health and emotional wellbeing.</li></ul>

The Medicine Cabinet

Once we know psychological aspirins do exist, we'd be foolish not to use them.

The Emotional Cuts and Scrapes of Daily LifeIt's the most common emotional wound, and some are so severe they create deep cuts. Also, we tend to always underestimate its pain: but, if untreated, it could affect thinking and erode self-esteem. And it rejects reason and logic.

Rejection

Rejections can cause 4 different psychological wounds:<ol><li>Emotional pain based on evolutionary past, as we are social animals.</li><li>Anger and aggressive behaviours towards others and ourselves.</li><li>Damaged self-esteem, carried on by extreme self-criticism and the tendency to draw conclusions.</li><li>Threatening out need to belong.</li></ol>

Rejection: Wounds

<ol><li>Argue with Self-Criticism with suitable counterarguments; useful as thoughts arise, or as a written exercise.</li><li>Revive your Self-Worth by writing a list of your traits you highly value, and explain why they're important to you.</li><li>Replenish feelings of social connection by being involved in new social groups, or setting up social snacks: photos, reminders of significant emotional connection.</li></ol>

Rejection: Exercises

Relationship Muscle WeaknessIn the era of connection, we are more lonely than ever. It's not the quantity of relationships, but their quality.Chronic loneliness has an effect on healt similar to cigarette smoking! And it's contagious!Loneliness causes us to become too self-critical, and behave in self-defeating ways, in a vicious cycle.

Loneliness

The psychological wounds are:<ol><li>Painful misperception, with a more negative assessment of our social network and self-worth.</li><li>Self-defeating prophecies, as self-protection and avoidance will push away people we hope to engage.</li><li>Atrophied relationship muscles, as we stop exercising the skill set required for healthy relationships, and we forget how to do It.</li></ol>

Loneliness: Wounds

<ol><li>Challenge Negative Perceptions by purposefully visualizing realistic success scenarios, not jumping at conclusions, and taking action actively.</li><li>Identify Self-Defeating Behaviours by stopping and reflecting mindfully on our ways of interaction.</li><li>Take Other Person's Perspective, not just focusing on our POV or thinking we already know what the other person thinks.</li><li>Deepen Emotional Bonds by improving empathy, taking other person's perspective, understanding the context, and communicating carefully.</li><li>Create Opportunities for Social Connection, volunteering, using internet...</li><li>Adopt Animals.</li></ol>

Loneliness: Exercises

Walking in BrokenLoss and trauma are inevitable parts of life. Most of them have only short term effects, however the same loss can have different meanings to different people.We all face similar challenges when it comes to recovery, reset and go back to full functionality

Loss And Trauma

There are four psychological wounds:<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Life interrupted: we face a series of new "firsts" without the lost person, or after the trauma, each of them evoking memories and pain.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Identity interrupted: a new reality must be accepted, a redefinition of ourselves.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Beliefs interrupted: our struggle to make sense of what happened may result in a "crisis of faith".</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Relationships interrupted: many of us respond to loss by withdrawing into ourselves.</li></ol>

Loss And Trauma: Wounds

<ol><li>Soothing Emotional Pain following our Natural inclinations, sharing thoughts or feelings at our own pace.</li><li>Recovering Lost Aspects of Self, overcoming avoidance of situations and interactions that were a significant aspect of our lives, but that could remind of the trauma or loss. Explore this in writing, listing your qualities and characteristics and abilities you valued in yourself, and trying to follow up on them.</li><li>Finding Meaning in Tragedy, in two steps: sense making first, benefit finding then. Think of Why the thing happened, not How. Think of What might have been.</li></ol>

Loss And Trauma: Exercises

The Poison in Our SystemGuilt is a useful feeling, as it helps us maintain our individual standards of behavior, and protects our most valued relationships.But when it gets too much, not proportional to the "wrong" action, and persistent - it becomes a psychological villain.Unhealthy guilt occurs typically in our relationships, in 3 primary forms:<ul><li>Unresolved guilt, when we're unable to properly apologize.</li><li>Survivor guilt, without a clear wrongdoing, even just for being luckier than others.</li><li>Separation/disloyalty guilt, about moving forward with life and leaving others behind.</li></ul>

Guilt

It's urgent to treat unresolved or eccessive guilt, as it ends up making us condemn not only our actions but our entire selves, leading to self-loathing and low self-esteem.There are 2 types of wounds:<ol><li>Self-Condemnation, preventing us from feeling good anymore, killing joy in our lives, sometimes leading to self-sabotaging.</li><li>Blocked Relationships, as guilt impacts our behavior around the other person, and often affects others' behaviors as well. And we end up avoiding those painful interactions.</li></ol>

Guilt: Wounds

<ol><li>Effectively Apologize, with 3 basic ingredients: a statement of regret; a clear "I'm Sorry" part; a request for forgiveness. Validate the other person's feelings, listening and trying to change your perspective. Offer compensation. Acknowledge that you violated norms and expectations.</li><li>Forgive Yourself: rethink about the event, as realistically as possible, removing judgements and excuses. Summarize the harm to the other person. Then, think about your original intentions. Any extenuating circumstance. Try to change to avoid repeating the errore.</li><li>Reengage in Life.</li></ol>

Guilt: Exercises

Picking at Emotional ScabsWhen we face painful experiences, we typically reflect on them, hoping to understand and move on. Sometimes, however, we end up trapped in rumination, replaying the same event forever in our mind. Running endlessly but getting nowhere. And only negative experiences trigger this rumination.Rumination deepens the emotional distress linked to the event, and it's also linked to depression, stress and cardiovascular disease, eating disorders

Rumination

There are 4 psychological wounds caused by rumination:<ol><li>Supersizing Our Misery. Rumination leads to sadness and being upset, and sadness and being upset lead to rumination, in a loop.</li><li>Anger Inflation, as such loops can be caused also by anger. And, in these cases, they often have consequences on our relationships and interactions.</li><li>Cognitive Leakage, as rumination consumes large amounts of our mental energies, impairing attention, focus, problem-solving abilities, and motivation.</li><li>Strained Relationships, as rumination will have effects especially on the closer ones.</li></ol>

Rumination: Wounds

We must interrupt the rumination cycle.<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Change Your Perspective: think of the events from an external POV, and focus on the why, more than on the how it happened.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Distract Yourself from Emotional Pain by engaging in absorbing tasks. Even small ones like a sudoku.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Reframe the Anger, interpreting what happened in a positive way - looking for the good consequences. It also works with sadness and other emotions.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Go Easy on Your Friends, to preserve the relationships from overburdening. Don't discuss the same thing forever.</li></ol>

Rumination: Exercises

How Emotional Chest Colds Become Psychological PneumoniaWe face failure thousands of times in our life, it's not avoidable. The difference is in our reaction: we may give up too quickly; we may become frozen, passive and helpless; we may become so stressed that we can't think straight; we may keep trying until we succeed.How we deal with failure is crucial to our success and well-being in life.

Failure

Many of our failures cause unnecessary psychological damage, because we don't treat them properly. Three are the wounds:<ol><li class="ql-align-justify">Shrinking Self-esteem: failure can make our goals seems larger and more difficult, while making us feel "smaller" as well. And typically we overgeneralize these thoughts. And this makes us hypersensitive to future failures!</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Passivity and Helplessness: the more negative our assumptions about us, the less motivated we'll be.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Performance Pressure, leading to anxiety, distraction and self-sabotaging.</li></ol>

Failure: Wounds

<ol><li>Get Support and Get Real, looking for both emotional support and critical and realistic Outlook. Failure is a great teacher, provides new opportunities, can make us stronger...</li><li>Regain Control, defining realistic and specific goals, intermediate steps, timeframes; think of obstacles and solutions.</li><li>Take Responsibility and own anxiety and fear by talking (or writing, or joking!) about them.</li><li>Distract Yourself from Performance Pressure. How? Whistle. Or mumble. While you're under pressure.</li></ol>

Failure: Exercises

Weak Emotional Immune System.Self-esteem includes both general self-worth and how we feel about ourselves in specific domains of our lives - and the impact of the second one on the first depends critically on how important we consider that domain.Low self-esteem makes us more vulnerable to other psychological wounds, like failure and rejection. Further, with low self-esteem come worse moods, pessimism, lack of motivation, dissatisfaction.However, the target is the average: too high self-esteem (narcissism) is a problem as well.

Low Self-esteem

There are 3 wounds that come with low self-esteem:<ol><li>Ego Under Siege: it makes us more vulnerable to (and less able to adapt to and overcome) failure, rejection, anxiety, stress, depression...</li><li>No Dessert for Me: it prevents us from engaging to positive experiences and information and feedback that would improve our self-esteem! Feeling unworthy becomes our identity, comfortable.</li><li>Chronic Backbone Pain: it makes us feel insecure and disempowered, and unable to stand up for ourselves and have boundaries.</li></ol>

Low Self-esteem: Wounds

<ol><li>Adopt Self-Compassion: take an event that caused self-criticism; imagine it happened to a dear one; think of how you would talk to that person.</li><li>Identify Your Strenghts and affirm them, even if unrelated to the problematic situation! Make a list and write a paragraph about all of them.</li><li>Increase Tolerance for Compliments, by reminding yourself of past times when you received one, describing the situation in detail.</li><li>Increase Personal Empowerment by acting assertively to change things in fields of your life that make you frustrated (start small).</li><li>Strenghten Self-Control.</li></ol>

Low Self-esteem: Exercises

Create your own personal psychological medicine cabinet, to overcome the little wounds life offers us daily.

Conclusion

Guy Winch offers great insights in our psychological processes, and gives suggestions to overcome the pain.

Emotional First Aid

Here I will summarize some laws of human nature and later, I will publish the second part to continue learning a little more about Robert Greene's book. Having mentioned this, we can begin!.

10 laws of human nature that you should use to your advantage | Robert Greene

This law goes hand in hand with learning to control our emotions and manage them properly for greater effective personal development.Greene thinks that many of our decisions and actions are driven by irrational emotions, which are not always conscious.For this reason, Robert suggests that to master our emotional side we must learn to identify and understand our emotions, not to mention that we must be aware of how these can affect others. Therefore, a balanced and compassionate attitude is a skillful solution.

1. "Law of irrationality"

Many people have an incessant need to feel important and also receive disproportionate admiration.This same need makes the person become selfish towards others, without taking into account other feelings or needs outside of themselves.Greene suggests that to transform self-love into empathy, we must learn to put ourselves in the place of others, and to choose to change our perspective or vision of the world. In turn, recognize and control our feelings of selfishness, so as not to get carried away by they.

2. "Law of Narcissism"

It is important to understand how people present themselves and, in turn, how this affects our relationships with them. Many people use "roles playing" to hide their true feelings or intentions. Often, they have to act differently according to the situation raised, therefore, it is difficult to know their true identity.Robert Greene suggests learning to read nonverbal signs, giving importance to details. It also invites you to be authentic and not carry out these games, or wear masks.

3. "Law of Role Playing"

The force of character is the measure of determination and discipline when facing challenges and achieving objectives.Because of this, to determine the force of character we must pay attention to the behavior and the respective capacity of a person to control their impulses and face their own challenges.Robert Greene suggests working in discipline and determination thus promoting our own character force. By understanding this, we can also improve our social relationships.

4. "Law of Compulsive Behavior"

Desire and greed are powerful emotions that drive people to take decisions and actions in an irrational way.For this reason, this law indicates that many people have the need to achieve success at any cost, and to obtain more.Robert Greene suggests having control of our desire, without letting it consuming us. And in the same way, use the desire and greed of others to our advantage. Turning us into more attractive and desirable people in society.

5. "Law of Covetousness"

It is important to expand our vision and perpective to achieve success, since many people have limited vision and are not able to see beyond their small mental world. This leads them to be less able to adapt to changing situations.Therefore, Greene suggests raising our perspectives, learning to see the world in a broader way, being aware of how our actions affects, and learning in the practice, how to adapt to changing situations, without being vulnerable to our desire and need.

6. "Law of Shortsightedness"

There are people who have defensive attitudes and show resistance to changes and ideas due to their own insecurities or fears.This makes it difficult to influence them and achieve our goals. Therefore, Robert Greene suggests that we must learn to confirm his opinion of himself and at the same time, make him feel comfortable and safe.In this way, we can also learn to present our ideas in a more attractive way and adapt them to the needs and desires of people.

7. "Law of Defensiveness"

People often feel atrapeated in unfavorable situations due to a negative attitude and the tendency to sabotage themselves constantly.These patterns can difficult to change, and can lead to a sensation of frustration and despair.In this case, Robert Greene suggests changing acthy, prevented our own self-sabotage and also learn to inflence our environment, to make it easier to adapt to changing situations and circunstances.

8. "Law of Self-sabotage"

This law is about recognizing and facing our dark and repressed emotions. This in order to learn to know ourselves thoroughly and avoid repressing ourselves. As a result, we can better control our thoughts and emotions to use them constructively.

9. "Law of Repression"

The ego is an important part of our identity, but it can quickly become fragile if we are compare ourselves with others. This can consequently affect our well-being, as well as people who tend to envy other people's achievements due to their fragile ego.This is why Robert Greene suggests that we must learn to accept our own limitations, also avoiding comparison. Therefore, controlling our emotions and focusing on our achievements is the right path to success.

10. "Law of Envy"

These are the first laws of human nature that we can learn from Robert Greene's book! I hope it helps more than one person!. 💛

From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the people around you Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense.
