Tip #111: F.E.A.R. spells T.R.O.U.B.L.E.
I came across an interesting acronym for F.E.A.R. that may help to keep things in perspective when venturing into the murky waters of the unknown (*cue dramatic music);
F-alse, E-vidence, A-ppearing, R-eal.
This may be useful to consider in contexts where our thoughts take a situation and exaggerate it to the point of worry and discomfort (e.g., “What if I don’t get the job?”).
If you are in a different situation however, such as being face to face with a different threat (eg., a mountain lion) here is another acronym for F.E.A.R. I found that supports a different message:
F-orget, E-verything, A-nd, R-un.
I couldn’t help but laugh at the second one.

I was approached by a counsellor not so long ago, who asked me about using creativity in counselling and I found an interesting article on a research which focused on the following questions:
The research questions were as follows:
1. How many beginning counselors used creativity in counseling?
2. Did beginning counselors think that using creativity benefited their clients?
3. Did beginning counselors think that using creativity benefited them?
4. What materials would beginning counselors like to have access to in order to use creativity in counseling?
5. Did beginning counselors feel as though they had these materials available to use?
6. Would they have felt more inclined to use creativity if materials had been supplied to them by an in-house clinic at their university?
7. Did beginning counselors know that creative techniques were options to use in counseling?
Reading the research gave me some interesting information. So here it is for you

Love means not ever having to say you’re sorry.
~ Erich Segal
As parents, we may recall our own parent’s physical and verbal expressions of affection. Becoming parents changes our perceptional lenses, shifting our previous views and expressions of affection. As a parent, we are looking through a lens of discovery evaluating what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. How do we determine what is appropriate or inappropriate? Who’s to say that my perceptions of affection are correct, while your perceptions are incorrect? Should there be standards for gauging various forms and degrees of affection?
