Taking Accountability for Ourselves will help everyone look inward, find joy in life, and live by setting healthy boundaries. If you have not already achieved the “Thrivers” as listed in this article, you can set realistic goals to find the “you” even if you are dealing with traumatic brain injury, chronic illness, aging…it’s never to late to understand, to love and be loved!
Take the time to visit this new website and read this article.
I recommend everyone to take a look at this website. Many people, including healthcare professionals fall victim to narcissistic/sociopaths. When this manipulation happens within the healthcare area patients and families health and lives are jeopardized.
This sums it up best to help others understand what they can’t see but what is happening or has happened. Narcissistic/Sociopaths/Psychopaths I use interchangeably and I will refer to some of these issues in future posts. The following is a quote from this great website:
“Narcissistic/sociopaths are just as wickedly abusive as those that physically abuse and yet no one sees the scars and unhealed wounds they leave. They are not visible to the naked eye but they are visible if one looks closely. These people are dangerous people and often they will physically abuse, they even have the potential to kill, yet they are cowards so more often, they will beat, whip and abuse with their tongues. They will manipulate, guilt and lie to control you. They will use mind games to convince you that you are the one that is bad, wrong, messed up and needs fixing”.
I encourage others to learn more about this type of personality, cut ties, and move on. You are worth so much more. Others will eventually see it, but don’t wait on them. It’s your life. Life is short.
Please read the link on regarding the Study for Teens with ADHD are helped with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) from Duke University, North Carolina. So much of this overlaps with brain injuries, is it possible this would work with brain injuries and become part of health insurance payments to achieve one’s optimal level of functioning? Please take the time to look this over and leave comments for the researcher and ADD…and so much more.

ATTENTION RESEARCH UPDATE
August 2012=====================================================================================
I have been a huge fan of Dr. David Rabiner’s ATTENTION RESEARCH UPDATE since its inception in 1997. Not only do I count on his comprehensive, plain-English explanations of up-to-date research trends and developments as key resources in my drive to keep my information base current, I also archive them for future reference.For those who aren’t already among the over 40,000 people currently subscribed (sponsored now by CogMed, so no longer a charge to you), at the conclusion of this post I tell you how to get your own monthly copy in your very own email box.
I urge any professional working with individuals on the Attentional Spectrum — whether teachers, counselors, coaches, therapists or physicans…
