Quote by Eric Bjarnson Ph.D.

“While we readily see the problem with a person being oblivious to or dismissive of his problematic thinking and behavior, we are not as quick to see the problem with someone obsessively dwelling on whatever negative aspect of himself that looms forth in his mind at the moment. Mental health counselors recognize both of these behaviors as equally pathological in blocking the individual's ability to make positive changes.”

“Translate these thoughts into fatherhood. If you are like me, it is a task in which, most of the time, I have no idea of what I am doing. Anxiety and depression easily take over most days, as I think I have screwed up my kids or I am doing everything wrong. But this new way of thinking has given me hope. I no longer feel like I am doing this alone, and I am finding weights I picked up that I am negatively parenting from.”

“The UAE Sonnet I'm asked to compare USA with UAE, So here it is, in my free form sonnetary. For starters, there is no comparison - UAE is a civilized country, USA is not. Sure UAE has its share of violations, like every living country in the world, but unlike USA, the incredible growth and the very birth of UAE is not founded on the worst kind of atrocities in history. In fact, forget the rich, safe and prosperous UAE - on the civilization scale USA is the bottom scraper of history.”
