How to calm someone down when they are upset at you

Thu, 05 Oct 2017 04:47:00 +0000

When someone is experiencing a negative emotion the thinking part of their brain turns off. If you try and rationalise with them as to why you didn’t mean it that way, or why they are getting upset for the wrong reason, it will not work! So don’t do it. Calm them down first so their rational brain re-engages.

Why people commit suicide

Sun, 19 Mar 2017 22:44:57 +0000

I was recently asked why people commit suicide. If I simplify it, I come up with two primary reasons. Firstly, the person is linking their sense of self worth to what they have. Often I ask my clients “If you won the lottery today would you be a better person tomorrow” and their answer is always “No, I’d be the same person”.
