The Curious Heart: The "Beginner’s Mind"

Image
  Critical psychology isn't about being a "critic" in the grumpy sense; it’s about deconstructing power . It suggests that our mental health isn't just a collection of chemical imbalances in our brains, but a reflection of the world we live in. Power Dynamics: It examines how societal structures—like capitalism, racism, and patriarchy—shape our internal experience. The Status Quo: It questions why certain behaviors are labeled "disorders." For example, is "burnout" a personal failure of resilience, or is it a logical reaction to an exploitative work culture? Agency: It seeks to move therapy from "adjustment" (helping you fit into a broken system) to "liberation" (helping you change or navigate that system). 2. The Curious Heart: The "Beginner’s Mind" While the critical side looks at the systemic, the curiosity-driven approach looks at the individual with a sense of wonder. It’s rooted in the idea of "not-knowi...

Otome (story-based dating sims): Korean "Love Games"

In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital companionship, Korean "Love Games"—ranging from mainstream Otome (story-based dating sims) to the more controversial, task-oriented interactive apps—have created a unique psychosocial phenomenon. These apps blend aesthetic beauty with psychological hooks, offering a curated sense of belonging that can be both a therapeutic escape and a digital trap. The Psychosocial Landscape: Why We Play At their core, these games tap into Parasocial Interaction (PSI) —the one-sided psychological relationship a player develops with a digital entity. Emotional Validation: Many players turn to these apps to fulfill a need for "soft" intimacy. The games provide a judgment-free zone where the "chosen one" narrative boosts self-esteem. The Routine Trap: By utilizing real-time notifications, these apps become part of the player’s daily rhythm, creating a sense of dependency. Escapism vs. Isolation: While they can offer stress rel...

How do the psychological profiles of Gandhi and Godse differ?

Image
The psychological profiles of Mahatma Gandhi and Nathuram Godse represent two completely opposite poles of Indian history, embodying conflicting ideologies and psychological traits . Their struggle was not merely political but deeply psychological . Mahatma Gandhi: Moral Perfectionism and Self-Transcendence Gandhi’s personality is characterized by 'Moral Perfectionism' and 'Self-Transcendence' . Key aspects of his profile include: • Sublimation of Aggression: Rather than suppressing his basic instincts, Gandhi practiced 'sublimation,' turning aggressive impulses into a creative and non-violent force . For him, non-violence was the highest form of mental strength, not cowardice . • High Cognitive Functioning: From a neurological perspective, Gandhi’s practices of meditation and fasting strengthened his Prefrontal Cortex (the area responsible for logic and control), allowing him to override the Amygdala (the center for fear and anger) and suppress violent imp...

CBSE versus ICSE

Image
Moving a child from CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) to ICSE (Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations) or vice versa is a significant shift. While both are prestigious, their DNA—how they teach and what they prioritize—is quite different. The breakdown of what changes for your child: 1. Syllabus: Breadth vs. Depth CBSE focuses heavily on Math and Science. The syllabus is highly structured and aligned with competitive exams like JEE and NEET. ICSE: Focuses on extensive detailed study. The syllabus is much more vast. For example, while CBSE might have one "Science" paper, ICSE often splits it into Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as separate subjects much earlier. 2. Language and English Proficiency The Big Change ICSE puts a massive emphasis on English Literature and Grammar. Impact: Your child will study high-level English (often including Shakespeare). If your child moves from CBSE, they might find the English standards in ICSE much more demanding in...
