Do You Get Results From Zumba

2010. WELCOME AND HAPPY 2011




Well, another year ends. And thank goodness!

We live in a time hard to grasp. There have been many social, political and personal. Sometimes digest it all costs. We are entering a terrible wave of pessimism. In almost every country in the world have been many sad events, serious and terrible. They have been very few really good news. For example, the 33 families of Chilean miners. Families who have recovered his breath Renaissance their husbands, sons, brothers and friends. A story that still moves me to remember.
is difficult to remain optimistic when everything you send out messages very terrible: the number of unemployed increases outrageous, economies that do not totally recover, totalitarian regimes do not hear the voices of democracy, families torn apart by a perpetrator or a terrorism, natural disasters, there are many problems ...
think that because it ends this year is the time (like every year at this time) to the list of wishes and resolutions for the coming year.
I've always been a faithful practitioner of these small, personal rituals of good luck. But this year I decided to include something important. The gratitude rather than desires.

If GRATITUDE ... Amid this wave of pessimism we think a few minutes before complaining. Yes, I miss certain things, if I have many things to solve yet. Yes. But it is also true that I have many, many things that millions of people around the world lack. I have a house that I bundle up your child from the cold and heat. I have food in my fridge, I have clothes to wear. It seems that something as simple as a major has lost much appreciation on our part. Do not forget that there are many people who are losing their home do not have anywhere to go. Sees people only covered by a blanket of despair torments him so cruel. Wars, famines If I tell the millions of people worldwide who do not have a tenth of what I have, I must confess that I feel very lucky. AND THANK YOU FOR IT.

Someone taught me that one of the keys to success, prosperity and good relations with my environment is to practice gratitude. The universe thanks to the grateful people. Yes, heartfelt thanks. The same one that teaches us to appreciate everything we have. The Light in our eyes. Health that allows us to live, walk, move and love.

The list must begin by thanking and remembering all those who are not as fortunate as us.

Now on with the desires, the amulets.

And here let one of my favorite charms: The Maneki Neko ...
That brings good luck. HAPPY

effective psychological treatments in severe mental disorders Christmas

Making a review of functions, clinical psychologist and subacute rehabilitation units, I find a long list of psychological treatment for psychosocial intervention: psychoeducation programs for people diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and bipolar disorder, emotional self-management programs and social skills, cognitive stimulation programs, family psychoeducation, entertainment, leisure and personal autonomy, cognitive behavioral hallucinations and delusions and so on ...

Well, today we want to ask if there are studies demonstrating the effectiveness of these programs and we've come to the Guide Effective Psychological Treatments for Adult Perez Alvarez Fernández Hermida et al, finding the following conclusions:

- based on sources of various kinds in the psychological treatment of psychotic disorders characterized by pessimism, we are currently in a time of growth and development, multi- forms of psychological intervention, which have led to a gradual shift in attention from the processes of rehabilitation or improvement of symptoms secondary disabilities to focus on the symptoms themselves.
- psychological treatments that have proven effective better recovery in schizophrenia are:
-
psychoeducational family interventions - social skills training
- cognitive-behavioral treatments that target both positive symptoms (hallucinations and delusions) , as the underlying basic cognitive processes.
- packages or integrated multimodal group intervention programs to improve social and cognitive skills such as IPT.
- therapeutic elements in common of these treatments would stress the improvement of social and interpersonal functioning, promoting independent living and community maintenance and reduced the severity of symptoms and comorbidities: depression, suicide and drug use.
- the type of treatment chosen will depend largely on when you are the person, and in acute phases raw drug treatment, stabilization and reduced symptomatology environmental demands with work programs simple, stable and predictable in the stable phase of remission symptomatic interventions will begin psychosocial and finally in the subsequent stabilization phase would promote the capacity to maintain community life, using all available resources and work environment in the prevention of relapse.

have also resorted to Guide for professionals and families of psychological treatments used in schizophrenia Elisa Gallach, Salvador Perona, and Francisco José Oscar Vallina Santolaya, which includes both the strategies focused on the individual as those focusing on the environment for the treatment of schizophrenia. Outstanding in
strategies focused on the individual social skills training, psychoeducation of patients, strategies for stress management, psychological treatment of positive symptoms (hallucinations and delusions), Integrated psychological treatment of schizophrenia (IPT) and Cognitive therapy for adaptation to psychosis (COPE). In the section on strategies focused on the environment this review special emphasis on family interventions, vocational rehabilitation and community intervention programs in psychosocial rehabilitation, within which would include programs to reduce social stigma.



Of course there are many other approaches to serious mental disorders, impossible to include in this brief review. Thus, by way of example, as part of change as indicated in our understanding of psychotic experience has been developing a wide range of psychological models to explain psychotic disorders along with their associated psychological treatment. In this vein, Andrew Gumley and Matthias Schwannauer, outlined in his book back to normal after a psychotic disorder a framework for recovery and return to normality, focusing on emotional and interpersonal adaptation to psychosis, comprising all aspects of the therapeutic process of cognitive-relational: adopt a developmental perspective on help seeking and affect regulation . assist the reorganization and adaptation of the person after the experience of acute psychosis. understanding and treating traumatic reactions following the psychotic experience, working on sense of humiliation, suspension, loss, and fear of relapse, cognitive schema relational work and develop coping strategies within a relational context.

Now only the necessary resources, training and motivation of professionals to implement the whole array of treatments, with a focus on recovery and community involvement may be some the key pieces to dramatically improve the prognosis for people with severe mental illness.

Orchestra Pit Tickets At Rosemont Theatre



Before the texts give way to the workshop blog, I will take the holidays, these dates endearing to some, indifferent to others and amplifying gap for a few people, as the inevitable excuse to open a door of my feelings after a year of blog, blog and more blog.
For a project ends up eclipsing many areas of your life. You have to be alert, be on guard and agree an ongoing commitment to yourself: to continue taking steps every day to keep alive a search history, meetings, learning and control, all it takes.
My food, my motor, my urge to move forward on this journey have been, above all, people.
First, the main force have given me the "patients, those with whom I live every day in the office, on the ground, in the group of good morning, in the machine coffee or this or that program. Their looks, their histories, their touch, their despair, laughter ... every little detail, every little bit shared, strengthen my firm belief that just before the patient one person to discover it needs a social-health system humane, just and capable and open society, tolerant and above all, knowledgeable.
Joining them are colleagues, friends, people who love you, anonymous people who have crossed your path: Caesar and his company and essential support, Cachi and their willingness and enthusiasm constant, Jesus, Paul, Hilari, Lizardo, "the nikosianos" Jose, Amaia, Naomi, Sandra, Michael ...
My balance "final", then? Tilt gratitude, no doubt. And is that all the time and effort employees have been little if compared to what I measure this year I received: Jumping Walls also because has been a jump inside and growth, an injection of enthusiasm, a lesson in humility.




met year of JACD
"It's been a year since our psychologist came up to hang a blog on the Internet. One idea has borne fruit by opening the doors of these physical walls and invisible to the society to which we turn, with an idea from the beginning of information so that these ideas diffuse and disappear wrong with us.
We
has visited this process television and the press, giving the newspaper the day a national journalism award for best article on mental illness. More recognition that regional acceptance, nationally and internationally that we are having makes us feel very satisfied.
circumstances I am a patient I've been here since the beginning of the blog, say that I am a pioneer of the subject, but on the workshop blog also spend many patients with high faster than leave an injection every day.
Thanks to our psychologist, our Caesar and an administrative supervisor we pass the written, as no funds each have a computer.
I hope that this idea emerged over the years continue to give some positive fruits as we know, and that way of seeing society change because we are human like any other like it. "

Taking stock of JACD
"It is reaching the end of this year. I passed everything. I've met new people, I'm getting older but I have a young spirit. This year has passed quickly something which in my situation is something that benefits me because I'm waiting for a goal that takes a while to come. Here at the asylum have been spending some patients had been before. I had decompensation for which I have consulted with my psychiatrist and I have adjusted the medication. I've had a hard time because of alcohol on occasion. But I close this year more mature, with self, that I've always missed. I have also made mistakes, I admit, they are no longer so much about my disease. I can definitely leave the world of cocaine and prepare to spend Christmas with my family, without excesses and healthy as possible. I loved this year, which I thought would not happen to me, but went a different way but it was counterproductive. I realized something very important, thought that feeling would never wake me, given how hard it has been my life and my psychiatrist told me that would happen and it was true. Well, my specialist was not wrong in anything I have said, given it every day I am more convinced that we need our professionals to support and guide to follow. I hope that next year will be as good as it tried to correct many things in my character and personality as I need, but it is also the result of a lengthy detention process that I deserve for personal reasons. "

My recovery E.
"I spent almost a year in the hospital rehabilitating drugs. I feel quite well. I like to go out to share Christmas with the family. Seeking
feel better next year. I'll wait to pass it and then talk about the next while I prefer to vent telling sentences rehabilitation within the Center. My imagination does not cover both waiting for other things. I guess next year will be better, because I need a lot. Support both psychological and physical. I've spent almost everything and I dream home whatever happens. I guess I'll get in the meantime I will continue in the shade I checked, I need to get more positive note, I've been writing this since I've put it up a role. Exit and go start another year to celebrate Christmas. "

Taking stock of JFMS
" Overall good. The psychiatrist let me out 4 to 7 and go out with a friend a ride out there. But in 2011 I would be free and have friends help me and have some passion, but it will come as I have without being with a woman at least five years and would like to be with some, to see if it can be. I think I can go out with someone about my age, and if I can be with her much better, so I calm down my anxiety about it. "

The Christmas of JFMS For
Christmas for me, as usual, sad because my children take me to his house and I'm not happy because they have good cars, and my daughter who is lecturing earn much money. The holidays are truly useless for me because I think my family is getting better and if I can not trouble me much because I go out and give me a tour of Santa Cruz and La Laguna and so distracted me a bit. Child to my mother trout and sweet potato flour, and made them very good.

The Christmas Y.
"I believe that I'm going to spend Christmas in hospital. I would like to be outside, but it will not be so the problem I have, schizophrenia. I want to be with my brothers because I really miss. "

My recovery
Y." For me recover would be a great merit, it would stop taking drugs, go out and face the world, see my family, would be a dream, but for now I have to endure because I can not leave the hospital. I have to keep taking the medication and stay the course ".

The Christmas
JLM" This Christmas I will spend the psychiatric center to my house like rats, although I I'm no rat. Nor do I think are worth seeing. In these cases it is best could you be quiet and entertained with your computer, fixing something, little things often important. "

Wranglers From Walmart

THE EMPTY CHAIR -



The empty chair of Liu Xiaobo. Image that is hard to understand. I also hard to understand that someone can be imprisoned for the ideas like Xiaobo. Does not encourage war or violence. I can hardly understand that in a rapidly changing China of today can be someone in jail and I do not think that if you suffer from conditions or torture. If Mao Zedong raised his head ... Openness that China, which China itself Gross domestic product is significantly more than the GDP of any other Western country. The same China who insisted on showing current, modern, rich and evolved during the last Olympics. Looking at that empty chair I can not help but remember the images of Tiananmen Square.

I imagine the Chinese government's views on this award to one of its political prisoners. If it was a puppet, if it is hypocritical. As well I guess the "support of his friend the gorilla (Gorilla lords forgiveness) red Chavez."

But what can you expect from dictators? Empty chairs and an injection to PEACE in prison.

When I started this blog I decided not to put politics in the middle ... which does not mean that from time to time to drop some blow in protest so much cynicism, lies, manipulation and lies ... I have no

Bear to Liu Xiaobo. In this blog always bears for everyone. I hope to publish it when it is released. And it will be soon ...
