I want to start by saying my sister LOVES batman so this is a very cool take on the character. I do agree that he has a lot of childhood trauma that would most certainly increase the risk of borderline personality disorder. He definitely has a lot of anger, that’s for sure. He can change moods/emotions quickly. Things tend to “set him off” fast at times. He also does not seem to want to be alone and values Alfred deeply.
I watched young sheldon. I definitely think Sheldon has OCD. The way he is always cleaning as you stated, I think he has OCD contamination. He is very afraid of getting sick which was a bif part of season one, which is also a sign of OCD contamination. Building on what crystal stated, I think that the show tends to play it off with laugh tracks. Making people think that his OCD traits are just a quirky part of him.
I can understand the feeling of wanting to prove people wrong. As someone who performed very poorly in high school. Many of my family didn’t think I would ever go to college or do much with my life. I also tried to go to school many times before finally succeeding. Fun fact: I actually enrolled in college 4 times before actually going. I am glad that your wife helps motivate you, I am sure it will be rewarding when you are a nurse with her!
I can relate a lot to wanting to be someone who people are proud of. My oldest sister graduated with her masters degree. I always wanted to be like her and for her to be proud of me for getting an education. Children are also another great motivator, I am sure your daughter is proud of you. Although I don’t have any children yet, I want to be someone they can look up to. I am also sure your grandma is proud of you. I have worked closely with you in clinicals. I see the way you are with patients and you are going to be an amazing nurse!
I think that you really put into perspective how much we use persuasion in our daily lives. It is very true that adding in that people already have an interest in what they are doing they are more likely to do it. It’s also interesting to see how often we try to get others to do something with us. People are such social beings. I think that this discussion board shows us how much psychology we use everyday.
I definitely made a lot of bad decisions when I was younger. I think that almost everyone has regrets about things when we were younger. That’s another part of psychology is understanding regret and moving past it. It’s tough when you are young and with friends to say no to things. When you are young all you want to do is fit in. This aspect of things can really influence how you behave in a group setting.
I can agree with the feeling jealously of other being able to enjoy their weekends. I have worked Friday and Saturday for the past five years since I graduated high school. It’s tough because most people don’t work weekends. It’s hard having to miss events and outings because of work. It’s tough making sacrifices but it will be so worth it in the end. It’s true that tougher events in life make you feel stronger. That is a nice feeling, like you can take on the world. As deb stated we are so close to the end of school. Then we can get back to a better work life balance.
I agree with you absolutely ask for help when needed. I am someone who always ask for help. Knowing when you can’t do something is apart of being self aware, which is so important for being a healthcare worker. It was really rough at the beginning learning how to juggle all the parts of life and still go to school. Going to school really takes a team. Learning these time management skill now will only help us once in the field. I’m so glad you were able to meet wonderful people who were able to help you. I am sure you will make a great nurse and I’m glad your feeling more confident.
I think more times than not the parents believe that they know absolute best for their child. While in some cases that very well may be true. Even as parents things can get clouded the best decisions may not be made. I think that it’s important to remember about children that are old enough to know what’s going on but cant say no. How do we best respect the wishes of patients in this awkward stage without overstepping. How can these doctors ensure that there is enough information for the parents and children.
I really like how you related it to children in hollywood. Which is another topic of high debate. I do also like the idea of having someone partial to look at both sides of things. I think that would help keep the best interest of the children in mind. I was thinking of studies done on children with terminal illness, but even then the parents might just be trying to save their child. Without thinking of the potential harm in an already tough time.
Overall if the right measures are taken it can be done.It’s interesting how everyone says this discussion board relates to raising children and I don’t disagree. Learning more about psychology can really be beneficial to learning about children. It would be interesting to see a study about conditioning techniques and young children. To see how different age groups and backgrounds would change things. I think it’s sweet that your children still go to wash up before dinner. Sometimes the conditioning can lead to nice traditions for the family.
I really like your examples of conditioning and learning. It’s interesting to see how much of our daily lives relate to psychology. You like flying on planes but your body doesn’t. I can relate to that. I like swimming but get really nervous around water. The grades were a nice incentive to do school work but could also be damaging. The last example is being able to read a room. I can definitely relate to that as I’m also really good at that. I do also agree with it being bad too as you stated “walking on eggshells” can be tough.
Wow, tied to a tree for seven days. That’s intense but very cool. I really do like the spiritual views to native culture. Such as suffering and pain to heal others.Do you think that the spiritual side of your culture affects the way you perceive certain things? I also didn’t know that there were reservations in Canada. It’s crazy to think about how diverse culture is all around us. I think that it’s wonderful that you learned to live off the land. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. I’d love to learn more about your childhood and other practices your culture participates in.
I like how you didn’t narrow your thinking of just one culture and focused more on big picture things. It is true that Americans are loud, when we travel we are told that often. Americans are complainers, it’s just a fact. I think that greatly attributes to the fact that we are outspoken on many different things and healthcare is one of them. How do you think being “free thinkers” affects how we give healthcare as nurses? I do think that being soft spoken people are less likely to complain or seek help when something’s wrong. It’s interesting to examine how all these factors can change so much.
I think that a study of how hot baths can influence emotions and part of the brain would be cool. Another added aspect you could add, would be seeing if people with impaired mental status would respond to the hot temperature and what part of the brain didn’t tell the body that the water was too warm/too cold. Taking that a step further I wonder if we had the right technology if we could correct that and make the right pathways. It’s so cool to see how far technology could come with helping people with brain impairments.
