Last weekend I watched a movie that I highly recommend you see:
The Intouchables (2011)
It is funny, emotional, serious, moving and totally enjoyable!
What more can I say apart from: ‘Please watch it!’
Here is the trailer:
Lift My Depression Cinema: The Intouchables (2011)
Where is your self-esteem sticker book?
Who are you? No, I am not asking about your name, age, occupation or other obvious facts. I am asking about the secret ‘My self-esteem sticker book’ you started a long time ago (or, to be precise, it was started for you).
It might reside in the ‘attic’ of your brain and rarely come out or it might be so ‘cherished’ that you turn to its favourite pages quite often and are even show it to others.
Your parents did to you…what?
What is one of the most common things any psychiatrist or mental health professional asks during your first meeting? I think it’s ‘Tell me about your childhood’.
So, you tell your ‘story’ and it gets written down and filed in your notes. The next professional comes along and asks you to tell it again. Some of them will try to ‘dig in’ deeper and deeper to find a cause of your depression.
