In order to recover from many kinds of mental distress, there's really no alternative but to get acquainted with psychotherapy.

Though often dense and complicated, the central ideas of psychotherapy can be summarised as follows.

Every human is in part neurotic.

A neurosis is any pattern of thinking or behaviour that blocks the full flowering of our personalities and potential.

We may be neurotic in love or at work, in our friendships or in our attitudes to creativity or politics.

It should be part of every evolved human's mission to seek to understand and unpick the neurotic elements of their own personalities.

The inquiry and how are you neurotic should not be taken as an insult,

rather a sensible and kindly request for more information on on our particular share of humanity's warps.

The origins of most of our neuroses lie in our childhoods, before we were old enough to deploy adult mechanisms to process events.

What causes neuroses are incomprehensible, cruel and intolerable frustrations and pains that we can collectively refer to as traumas.

A trauma may be as immediately shocking as a rape, or as seemingly innocuous as years of continuous petty criticism or emotional neglect.

Something qualifies as a trauma because of an unmasterable dimension.

The child is not able to make sense of the agony it faces, and so suffers a grievous blow to its sense of self and command of trust,

intelligence and love.

Every parental inadequacy tends to give rise to a neurosis.

Where there is an over-controlling parent, there will be a child with problems around autonomy.

Where there is a belittling parent, there will be a child with difficulties of confidence and self-esteem.

Where there is a sexual rivalry or seductiveness, there will be issues of guilt or shame.

Every character defect on the side of the parent necessarily imposes a toll on a child.

There is no such thing as an un-neurotic parent.

Rather than deny that they could have done anything wrong, all parents must simply put up their hands gracefully,

perhaps humorously too, and then assist their child in figuring out the particular difficulties they will have bequeathed to them.

Trauma leads to repression, which over time inspires the formation of neurotic symptoms.

Neuroses that have not been understood continue into perpetuity.

Time never weakens them.

Healing comes through self-awareness.

To improve, we need to dynamite the concrete of repression and recover contact with the original trauma.

And in order to do that, we need to accept, before anything else, that doing so would be a good idea.

We have to agree that self-knowledge will be what can save us.

It won't be enough to know the past.

We will need to feel it too.

We may have a workable sense of the central details of our childhoods, but an intellectual grasp won't be enough.

We need to viscerally re-experience rather than merely intellectually know the past so as to free ourselves from its hold.

Our neuroses will weaken and dissolve once the traumas that fire them are finally known, and even more importantly, felt.

That is the challenge and the promise of psychotherapy.

The School of Life offers online psychotherapy to people all around the world.

Our therapists are highly trained and accredited, and are a vital source of kindness, solace and wisdom for life's most difficult moments.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
