Yep. That will be $75 bucks. You’re welcome!
Seriously, I didn’t learn much about how to be a happy person in grad school. Maybe Accipiter would disagree, he’s an MFCC as I recall. The main focus is on the diagnosis and treatment of dysfunction. What to do when it’s broken, and not so much about what to do to keep it healthy. That stuff you pick up other places - At home if your lucky. I’d assume the medical profession is the same? Hopefully things are changing, with more of a focus on health and prevention.
About talking about your negative experiences, the prevailing idea for years was that people need to “get it all out” in order to move on and heal. Talk about it. Vent. Maybe engage in some primal scream therapy - I’m rolling my eyes here. Of course, that isn’t always true. Some people do really well just going about their lives, without the need to relive it, talk about it, or focus on all the sad or traumatic stuff.

No difference in the medical field really.
The human mind and emotions is just to fucking complex to have any type of cookie cutter approach to not only treatment but prevention and maintenance. It just comes down to one on one grind it out help.

Dammit, I still can’t believe they’re thinking about remaking that movie. I get grrrr every time I think about it.[/quote]
The studio announced a little while ago that it will be a sequel, not a remake. Tom Cruise is supposed reprise his role as Maverick, but they haven’t said how big a role in the movie he will have. I think he is a bit old to be an active fighter pilot, though. Maybe he will be the captain of an aircraft carrier or an instructor or something like that.[/quote]
Oh, thank goodness! A sequel is okay. I can totally see him being a Tom Skerrit type character or Michael Ironside.
how can one expect to take responsibility of our own lives if we are being victimized?[/quote]

I think I’ve seen some neuroplasticity-oriented stuff that claims that talking about trauma changes the way it is stored in the brain (and thus the ways in which it affects the victim).[/quote]
Fascinating. Some the the research coming out on memory is pretty wild. It makes you wonder how much of what you “remember” is real. The brain is so capable of filling in detail, merging events, and just all kinds of error. We know emotional state and even hormones can effect memory storage in profound ways. No three people will remember an event quite the same, and often they will be way off in important ways. Scary, since we place a lot of emphasis on eye-witness accounts in our legal system.

At the end of the original, Maverick was given his choice of assignment. He chose to be an instructor at Top Gun…

thats cause he KNEW that he would never be as good of an Aviator as Ice~[/quote]
Haha! That’s only because he was too “dangerous”.[/quote]
he was reckless - took too many chances with a 10 million dollars worth of taxpayers moolah~
AND - killed Goose - thats right, I said it - he KILLED Goose~
[/quote]
Whatever. The Board of Inquiry cleared him of his responsibility. Anyways, if Iceman was such a great pilot, he would have gotten a lock on Jester and not have to disengage, leaving Maverick in his jet wash. I say Iceman killed Goose.
