Content: Groups act in their own self-interest. 1. The interests of a group are not the same as the interests of its individual members. ~2. Therefore, individuals do not act in their own self-interest. That answer has been staring them in the face all along... and yet even now in 2013 most economists still fail to recognize it. Humans are neither selfish nor altruistic; we are tribal. We identify ourselves with a group, defining those inside as good and those outside as bad. The definition of the group can vary a great deal; | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/369409.The_Logic_of_Collective_Action |

Content: it might be Americans, or White people, or Christians, or Red Sox fans, or economists, or University of Michigan alumni; and indeed most people will identify in varying degrees with many different groups at once—and much of the conflict in our lives comes from being torn between such identifications. ( The rest probably comes from conflict between the groups we identify with and that one special group that contains only ourselves.) Actually, even neoclassicists have been forced to accept the most extreme examples: They speak of "households" and "firms" as though they were indivisible entities, even though a household contains several individuals and a firm may literally contain millions. Why does this work? Because they are indivisible, at least in terms of their tendency to act in their own self-interest. A corporation is far more likely to act in its own self-interest than any individual human being would be. Households are also not strictly selfish, but they are at least close to it sometimes; whereas, anyone who would stop feeding their own child because they ceased to be amusing we would all immediately and rightfully recognize as a horrible and defective human being.

Content: he is, in fact, engaged in something far more desperate. The result of genetic experimentation, Ender may be the military genius Earth desperately needs in a war against an alien enemy seeking to destroy all human life. The only way to find out is to throw Ender into ever harsher training, to chip away and find the diamond inside, or destroy him utterly. Ender Wiggin is six years old when it begins. He will grow up fast. But Ender is not the only result of the experiment. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway almost as long. Ender's two older siblings, Peter and Valentine, are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. While Peter was too uncontrollably violent, Valentine very nearly lacks the capability for violence altogether. Neither was found suitable for the military's purpose. | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/375802.Ender_s_Game |

Content: They hate us most when we march together, when we occupy senate offices and jam the congressional switchboard, when we congregate in pubs and coffee houses and share our outrage and fear, for they know that freedom thrives on solidarity and resistance, and that solidarity and resistance engender love and hope. They much prefer it when we brood in solitude, despairing and alone. Which reminds me...one of the things we should never do is brood about the enemy’s ideology ( Is Steve Bannon a Fascist? A Nazi? A Stalinist? ), for while we try to discern his “ideological goals,” the enemy is busy pulling on his boots, and his boots are made with hobnails, with heel irons, and equipped with toecaps of steel. Finally, it does not matter who heads up the authoritarian state: a bully boy like Mussolini, a strutting coprophiliac like Hitler, a Napoleonic pig like Stalin, or a brainless dancing bear like Trump. Whatever the current incarnation of “Big Brother” may be, the goal is always the same: A nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, persecuting - three hundred million people all with the same face. | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40961427-1984 |

If Todd ever revises The Earth Book, I think he should make significant changes. As written, it problematically focuses on individual actions unlikely to make a significant dent in the climate crisis. This is a collective action problem problem, and even at the individual level, there are much more impactful actions individuals can take beyond "turning the lights off". Should add pages focused on: writing to your elected officials because we aren't going to solve climate change through individual action, plant-based diets, transitioning away from fossil fuels in all forms, and "reduce" and "reuse" before "recycle". Todd stuck with the "safe" ones, but these aren't going to cut it to stop the climate crisis. ...more

Content: Censorship's bottom line is this: if the novel Christine offends me, I don't want just to make sure it's kept from my kid; I want to make sure it's kept from your kid, as well, and all the kids.

of school libraries as a result of this idea, I'm never much disturbed not as a citizen, not as a writer, not even as a schoolteacher . . . which I used to be.

Content: As Lexy Good, a white prisoner in San Quentin State Prison explained, “I’d rather hang out with white people, and blacks would rather hang out with people of their own race.” He said it was the same outside of prison: “ Look at suburbia. . . . People in society self-segregate.” Another white man, using the pen name John Doe, wrote that jail time in Texas had turned him against blacks: ' [B]ecause of my prison experiences, I cannot stand being in the presence of blacks. I can’t even listen to my old, favorite Motown music anymore. The barbarous and/or retarded blacks in prison have ruined it for me. The black prison guards who comprise half the staff and who flaunt the dominance of African-American culture in prison and give favored treatment to their “brothers” have ruined it for me.'

“The president is a nationalist, which is not at all the same thing as a patriot. A nationalist encourages us to be our worst, and then tells us that we are the best. A nationalist, 'although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge,' wrote Orwell, tends to be 'uninterested in what happens in the real world.' Nationalism is relativist, since the only truth is the resentment we feel when we contemplate others. As the novelist Danilo Kiš p | https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/tyranny |

How do antibiotics treat a UTI?
What antibiotics can treat a UTI?
Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra)
Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid, Macrodantin)
Fosfomycin (Monurol)
Amoxicillin/potassium clavulanate (Augmentin), cefdinir (Omnicef), or cephalexin (Keflex)
Common doses:
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) or levofloxacin (Levaquin)
Common doses:
What are potential side effects of antibiotics for UTI?
How long do I need to take antibiotics to treat a UTI?
Do I really need to take antibiotics for a UTI?
Can UTI symptoms linger after I take antibiotics?
Are there over-the-counter antibiotics for UTI treatment?
The bottom line
Content: 100 mg twice a day for 5 days
Notable side effects: Loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting are common side effects of nitrofurantoin. More serious potential side effects include liver conditions like jaundice — yellowing of the skin and eyes — and hepatitis (inflammation of the liver). Fosfomycin (Monurol)
How it works: Fosfomycin is a useful antibiotic for UTIs caused by highly-resistant bacteria — bacteria that aren’t as vulnerable to other common antibiotics. It works by killing UTI-causing bacteria and also preventing bacteria from sticking to the lining of the urinary tract. Common dose: One dose, containing 3 grams of fosfomycin powder mixed in water
Notable side effects: Nausea, diarrhea, and headaches are the most common fosfomycin side effects. Bactrim, nitrofurantoin, and fosfomycin work well but aren’t perfect options for everyone. | https://www.goodrx.com/blog/best-antibiotic-treatment-for-uti/ |

Content: 250 mg once a day for 3 days
Notable side effects: Ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin can cause serious, disabling side effects like tendon rupture and permanent effects on your nervous system. More common side effects are rash, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and irritability. What are potential side effects of antibiotics for UTI? In addition to the notable side effects we’ve already covered, there are a few more potential antibiotic side effects you’ll want to know about. Most antibiotics can cause some degree of stomach upset like nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. If you have severe diarrhea or diarrhea that lasts for 2 or more days, let your healthcare provider know. Diarrhea is a common side effect while taking antibiotics and just after finishing them. But in some cases, diarrhea from antibiotics can be a sign of a more serious infection caused by Clostridium difficile (C. diff.) bacteria. | https://www.goodrx.com/blog/best-antibiotic-treatment-for-uti/ |

Do I Need Antibiotics for My Cough?
Sharon Orrange, MD, MPH
What should you expect with acute bronchitis?
Should acute bronchitis be treated with antibiotics?
If I cough up green or yellow sputum, doesn’t it mean I need an antibiotic?
But I’m also wheezing
How do doctors diagnose acute bronchitis?
What works to treat acute bronchitis?
What kind of cough does need antibiotics?
Content: Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, and can also be a serious complication in patients with severe COVID-19 . Pneumonia looks very similar to the flu, though, so you’ll have to see a doctor to find out whether you need antibiotics. ( Flus are caused by viruses and don’t require antibiotics.). You can read more about the differences between COVID-19 and the flu here. The presence of a fever may be a clue that your cough is either caused by the flu or pneumonia rather than acute bronchitis. Symptoms of the flu and pneumonia also include the following (which usually don’t happen with acute bronchitis): Body ache
Headache
Fatigue
Nausea
A loss of appetite
On the other hand, chest pain and wheezing are more common with acute bronchitis. – – –

Make sure you have an asthma action plan to help you recognize and manage asthma symptoms if and when they come on. Get a peak flow meter (from a pharmacy) and keep a diary of your peak flows and your symptoms. This can help track your symptoms and tell the difference between your asthma symptoms and new COVID-19 symptoms. | https://www.goodrx.com/blog/how-does-coronavirus-affect-people-with-asthma/ |

Candida albicans is responsible for most vaginal yeast infections. Considered part of the normal vaginal flora, overgrowth of Candida can result in what we call vulvovaginitis, aka a “yeast infection.” Vaginal itching, burning and soreness along with redness are the classic symptoms, and if discharge is present it is classically white, thick and clumpy with little odor. You may start to manage these symptoms with over the counter creams, but you should place a call to your doctor as we may have better prescription options. Uncomplicated yeast infections usually respond to treatment within a couple of days so if your symptoms are getting worse, call for an appointment. How can I treat a yeast infection? Over-the-counter creams. A variety of topical preparations are available over-the-counter and come in single-dose, and 3- and 7-day regimens. Monistat and Gyne- Lotrimin both come in 3- and 7-day preparations and both work well. | https://www.goodrx.com/blog/how-to-treat-a-yeast-infection/ |

The Truth About Sulfa Allergies: Should You Avoid Other Drugs if You’re Allergic to Bactrim?
Sharon Orrange, MD, MPH
I was told I had a sulfa allergy. What does that mean?
How do I know if I have a sulfa allergy?
How is Bactrim different from other sulfa drugs?
If I have a sulfa allergy from Bactrim, can I take these other drugs?
To sum it up
Content: Here’s a list of common sulfa drugs that I get asked about a lot from patients who have had allergic reactions to Bactrim. If you’ve had an allergic reaction to Bactrim, you do not need to routinely avoid these medications, even though they are technically sulfonamide drugs. Acetazolamide is a medication used to prevent altitude sickness, and yes, you can take this if you’re allergic to Bactrim. As with any medication, just watch for a rash or any serious side effects. Celecoxib (Celebrex) is an anti-inflammatory drug used for joint pain and arthritis, and yes, you can take it if you’re allergic to Bactrim. Diuretics like bumetanide (Bumex) and furosemide (Lasix) are prescribed for lower extremity edema (swelling) and heart failure. Yep, you can take these. Glimepiride, glipizide, and glyburide are non-insulin medications that treat diabetes type 2. Yep, these are safe if you have a sulfa allergy. Thiazide diuretics like chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) are used to treat high blood pressure and are fine to take even if you’ve been told you have a sulfa allergy to Bactrim. | https://www.goodrx.com/blog/sulfa-allergies-bactrim-other-drugs-to-avoid/ |

Triptan medications that are used to treat migraines, including eletriptan, frovatriptan, and sumatriptan, have been shown to be safe in those with reported sulfa allergies. Tamsulosin (Flomax) used to treat symptoms related to enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), is safe to take in folks with a sulfa allergy. Sulfa-based eye drops like Genoptic (gentamicin sulfate), Polytrim (polymyxin B/trimethoprim), atropine sulfate, and Maxitrol (neomycin/dexamethasone/polymyxin B) are safe to use in those with reported sulfa allergies.

The evidence from clinical trials suggests that folks who have had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic, Bactrim (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole or TMP/SMX), do not need to routinely avoid all sulfa-type drugs, including those listed above. – – –

The 3 Most Common Causes of Drug Allergies and How to Treat Them
Benita Lee, MPH
What are drug allergies?
Common allergy symptoms
Drugs that can cause allergic reactions
1) Aspirin and other NSAID pain relievers
2) Penicillin antibiotics
3) Sulfa drugs
How to treat a drug allergy
Content: Because of the risk of penicillin allergies, physicians often opt for another course of treatment when it comes to antibiotics. However, there are certain conditions where only penicillin will work. For these cases, physicians often suggest “drug desensitization”, a procedure where patients are slowly given higher and higher doses of a drug as they are monitored for potential allergy symptoms. To ensure safety, this is typically done in a hospital, so emergency medical help is nearby if a serious reaction occurs. Once a tolerant threshold is found, doctors then hold off on increasing the dose any further. 3) Sulfa drugs
Sulfa drugs, or drugs that contain sulfonamide, can cause allergic reactions as well — in about 3% of people according to research. Pay particular attention to antimicrobials and anticonvulsants, as they often belong to the sulfa drug family. Interestingly, people are more likely to experience allergic reactions to sulfa antibiotics than other types of sulfa drugs. For a full list of sulfa drugs, read more here. Because so many different drug types have sulfonamide as an active ingredient, physicians are extra careful when prescribing sulfa drugs. | https://www.goodrx.com/blog/the-3-most-common-causes-of-drug-allergies-and-how-to-treat-them/ |

Because so many different drug types have sulfonamide as an active ingredient, physicians are extra careful when prescribing sulfa drugs. Just like with penicillin antibiotics, controlled desensitization might be an option if no other alternatives are available. The most common symptom with sulfa drugs is a skin reaction, ranging from minor hives to the potentially life-threatening Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a condition that consists of severe skin blisters and lesions. How to treat a drug allergy
The best way to avoid drug allergies is to have an open conversation with your doctor before beginning any treatment. Also, make sure you understand the warning signs of an allergy and are aware of the consequences. In any case, see a doctor at the first signs of a reaction. | https://www.goodrx.com/blog/the-3-most-common-causes-of-drug-allergies-and-how-to-treat-them/ |

Is Belief in Conspiracy Theories a Sign of Mental Health Issues? April 23, 2015 • By GoodTherapy.org Staff
Pop quiz: What do the moon landings, the JFK assassination, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks have in common? Give up? While each event touched the lives of millions of people and left indelible marks on American history, there is a third similarity: these events were all staged … or so some people who believe in conspiracy theories may argue. Conspiracy theories posit that people, groups, organizations, or governments deliberately withhold or cover up the truth surrounding events and situations. While conspiracy theories typically lack the concrete evidence of more conventional explanations, they nevertheless exist and are upheld within a percentage of the population. Perhaps you’re not losing sleep over an alleged alien spacecraft hidden somewhere near Roswell, New Mexico or deadly diseases supposedly manufactured as a means of population control, but some people are convinced that those in authority are working together to conceal the truth surrounding certain events. For some, there might be comfort in thinking they know something most people don’t, but that doesn’t mean the fringe is a comfortable place to be. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/are-people-who-believe-in-conspiracy-theories-crazy-0423157 |

Content: When the facts are in doubt, people may be inclined to develop beliefs that fit self-serving narratives. Calling someone a conspiracy theorist can serve as a social mechanism to discredit or exclude that person’s viewpoint. It is sometimes easier to call a person a conspiracy theorist than it is to address his or her questions and concerns, which may further isolate someone who believes in a conspiracy theory. The Bottom Line
Although people who believe in conspiracy theories may be dismissed or derided by some people as “crazy,” the prevalence of conspiracy theories in American culture and the rest of the world suggests that most people who believe in conspiracy theories are not experiencing some kind of psychopathology. For its part, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders draws no direct link between belief in conspiracy theories and mental health issues. However, some people who believe intensely or even casually in conspiracy theories may also be experiencing mental health issues such as paranoia, schizophrenia , narcissism, delusions, anxiety, or trust issues that affect their everyday lives. Some of these issues have been found to be more prevalent among people who believe in conspiracy theories. Most people who believe in conspiracy theories are harmless participants in a widespread social phenomenon, but how they act (or don’t act) on their beliefs can have far-reaching social consequences. For example, research shows that some populations who believe in conspiracy theories are less likely to use condoms, seek HIV treatment, take action against climate change, and vaccinate their children. If mental health conditions are present that make it difficult to distinguish reality from fears and unsettling thoughts, therapy —perhaps in combination with medication —may help. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/are-people-who-believe-in-conspiracy-theories-crazy-0423157 |

If you or someone you know is experiencing troublesome thoughts beyond what you believe to be healthy, seeking the help of a mental health professional can be a great place to start. Therapy can help a person identify factors that may have contributed to his or her worldview, for better or for worse, as well as what type of treatment and support may be best for addressing any related conditions. Labeling any person as “crazy”—regardless of his or her thoughts or beliefs—can result in negative effects. For example, calling someone crazy may cause emotional or psychological pain, contribute to the marginalization or dehumanization of certain individuals or groups, or exacerbate stigma surrounding mental health conditions.

Lack of Support
Getting Out
Content: Women inmates are at an increased risk of being sexually assaulted by jail and prison guards. This ongoing climate of trauma can create anxiety, depression, phobias, and PTSD in prisoners who previously had no serious mental health issues. Lack of Support
Prisoners are, by definition, cut off from the rest of society, and their access to supportive friends and family may be limited. Many jails have instituted mail policies prohibiting letters and magazine subscriptions, and these policies can eliminate prisoners’ ability to communicate with and receive support from loved ones. Phone calls from jail can be costly, and prisoners from impoverished backgrounds may have families who can’t afford to cover the costs of collect calls, however infrequent. There’s little hope for getting any support in prison, as many prisoners are concerned more with gaining respect and avoiding fights in a relentless pursuit of safety. Support from loved ones can play a critical role in helping people overcome mental challenges, and isolation can increase a person’s risk of mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Getting Out
Most prisoners have ignored basic rules of society, so it can be difficult for prisoner rights issues to garner much public sympathy. But many prisoners are incarcerated for nonviolent drug crimes that are the result of substance addiction. And even inmates incarcerated for violent crimes do not typically serve life sentences. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/prison-incarceration-effects-mental-health-0315137 |

Content: The complexities of gender are becoming more widely recognized and understood as a reality of human existence. A male-female binary is typically reflected in the majority of societies, but gender can be expressed in many ways beyond traditionally male or female characteristics. Acceptance of the existence and validity of gender identities outside the male-female gender binary may not yet be widespread, but this is changing as more people become aware of the complexities of gender. Viewing gender as a spectrum rather than a binary highlights the wide variety of gender identities, and doing so may help further a deeper understanding of gender. Non-binary and genderqueer are two identities occurring on the spectrum between male and female. An individual who is non-binary or genderqueer may feel more masculine at times and more feminine at others. They may eschew labels such as male, female, masculine, or feminine altogether, feeling that binary labels of any kind are restrictive. Other individuals may be agender, or experience no sense of gender at all. Non-binary, genderqueer, or agender people may avoid using gendered language to describe themselves and use pronouns such as “they” and “them.” Viewing gender as a spectrum rather than a binary highlights the wide variety of gender identities, and doing so may help further a deeper understanding of gender. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychpedia/androgyny |

Imagination
Imagination is a capacity to form mental images, sensations, and representations without the use of the senses, and is commonly associated with creativity. What is Imagination? Imagination is often used colloquially to refer to the ability to think creatively by dreaming up novel scenarios, fantastical stories, and visual representations. Creative people such as artists and writers are often conceived of as having powerful, active imaginations. In psychology, imagination generally refers to the ability to mentally represent sensations that are not physically present. For example, when a person contemplates the smell and taste of a lemon without either seeing or tasting the fruit, her or she is engaging in imagination. Imagination is an important part of human cognition, and the ability to imagine things that have not actually occurred may even be unique to humans. Young children often become very imaginative as part of their development, and this imaginative capacity can help them develop empathy, the ability to take on another’s perspective and the ability to anticipate consequences to their actions. Some therapists use play therapy with young children, taking advantage of their active imaginations to help them resolve conflicts and develop coping strategies. Imagination’s Role in Mental Health

Imagination plays a number of important roles in mental health. The ability to contemplate things that are not actually happening can contribute to mental health problems such as anxiety and delusions. But imagination can also play a powerful role in healing. Some therapists encourage their clients to envision happy endings, positive outcomes, and peaceful locations to improve emotional and mental well-being. Imagination can play a role in focused meditation when, for example, a client is encouraged to envision a safe, comfortable space as a way to cope with fear or depression. The imagination was of particular importance to psychologist Carl Jung, who emphasized the importance of dreams to the unconscious mind. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychpedia/imagination |

Vicarious Trauma
Vicarious Trauma
Vicarious trauma, also known as secondary trauma, can be described as indirect exposure to a traumatic event through first-hand account or narrative of that event. People in the helping professions—counselors and therapists, rescue workers, police officers, doctors, and lawyers—may be at risk of vicarious traumatization. Any person who has a significant relationship with a survivor of trauma may also come to experience secondary traumatization. Understanding Vicarious Trauma
Therapists and other helpers often hear stories of traumatic experiences in the course of their work. At times, hearing these stories may overwhelm them and lead them to experience, to a lesser extent, the same feelings faced by the trauma survivors in their care. Vicarious trauma typically involves a shift in the world view of the helper. The helper’s beliefs about the world may be altered and/or damaged by repeated exposure to traumatic material, for example. Compassion fatigue and burnout are related concepts that share some similarities with vicarious trauma, and a person might find themselves experiencing one or more of these states at the same time. Find a Therapist
Advanced Search
Compassion fatigue is the condition of emotional and physical fatigue that results when helpers feel compassion for those they help but do not have adequate time away from caring for others to refuel and care for themselves. It differs from vicarious trauma in that it is not typically characterized by the presence of trauma-related symptoms and does not necessarily involve a change in one’s world view. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychpedia/vicarious-trauma |

Burnout is a term sometimes used interchangeably with vicarious trauma, but this condition does not necessarily involve a traumatic element. People can experience burnout when they have a toxic work environment or when they feel themselves to be doing tedious or otherwise trying work without getting enough time for rest or appropriate self-care. All helping professionals may be at risk, but those who work with children and survivors of sexual abuse and assault may have a higher risk of experiencing vicarious trauma.

Cognitive symptoms may take the form of cynicism and negativity or lead to difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions in daily life. A helping professional may also find it difficult to stop thinking about the trauma experienced by a person in their care, even when not at work. Spiritual symptoms can include a loss of hope, a decreased sense of purpose, and feelings of disconnect from others and the world in general. People may lose sight of their life purpose or come to feel as if they are unworthy of love or do not deserve love. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychpedia/vicarious-trauma |

A helping professional may also find it difficult to stop thinking about the trauma experienced by a person in their care, even when not at work. Spiritual symptoms can include a loss of hope, a decreased sense of purpose, and feelings of disconnect from others and the world in general. People may lose sight of their life purpose or come to feel as if they are unworthy of love or do not deserve love. Because symptoms can become debilitating if left untreated, it is recommended that helping professionals at risk of developing vicarious trauma seek the help of a mental health professional before symptoms become serious. Vicarious Trauma and Mental Health
Vicarious trauma can have a significant impact on a person’s mental health. Helpers and others affected by vicarious trauma may notice emotional issues, such as feelings of anxiety, anger, and/or sadness related to hearing accounts of traumatic experiences. According to revised diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (which was expanded to include “repeated exposure to aversive details” of a traumatic event), some of those who experience vicarious trauma may also be diagnosed with PTSD. A person with PTSD may be affected by intrusive thoughts about trauma, avoid things that cause memories of a traumatic experience, and have increased physiological arousal/reactivity. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychpedia/vicarious-trauma |

Many mental health professionals also recommend connecting with other professionals who understand the experience of working with trauma. One way helping professionals can reduce their risk of vicarious trauma is to ensure they are making enough time for self-care. When therapists and other people who are indirectly exposed to trauma dedicate time to self-care activities—journaling, taking time off from work, enjoying music, spending time with loved ones, pursuing hobbies, and so on—they may better able to address the experience of vicarious trauma. Going to therapy can also be a form of self-care, as a therapy session allows time to focus on one’s own thoughts and feelings and a safe place to examine them. Maintaining a reasonable degree of balance, both in work and outside of work, may also be helpful. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychpedia/vicarious-trauma |

Content: Are ‘Narcissists’ Insecure? Existing research on narcissism suggests people with NPD do tend to feel insecure, whether they display this insecurity outwardly or not. Insecurity may provoke many of the problematic behaviors associated with narcissism. Both a 2015 article looking at the diagnostic challenges of narcissism and a 2017 review examining the connection between narcissism and behavior on social network sites like Facebook suggest insecurity is more often seen in people with vulnerable narcissism, who might present as humble or reserved and tend to put themselves down. Katherine Fabrizio MA, a licensed professional counselor in Raleigh, North Carolina, helps people who were raised by narcissistic parents heal. She explains, “At their core, the person with narcissistic personality disorder is deeply insecure. They feel unworthy, ashamed, and empty. They hide this emptiness from themselves and others with a set of defenses that act as a storefront. The cover-up story they tell themselves and others constitutes those defenses, which are designed to artificially fill them up—all while hiding the fact that they feel truly empty.” It’s important to recognize that although people with narcissism may struggle with unwanted emotions and experiences that cause distress, these feelings don’t excuse their behavior. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/the-insecurity-behind-narcissistic-personality-npd-explained-1107194 |

Insecurity can be hard to face, but it’s possible to work through this, along with any other emotional or mental health challenges like anxiety, without emotional abuse or other problematic behaviors. If you often feel insecure, working with a therapist can help you overcome this mindset and develop a greater sense of personal empowerment. If you struggle to recognize or understand the feelings of others, or if you tend to lie or manipulate others to get your needs met, you may want to reach out to a therapist who can help you learn new ways of relating to others so you learn how to meet your own needs and support the people in your life. Anxiety and insecurity can result from setting too-high standards for yourself or wanting to achieve things that aren’t realistic. But in either case, a therapist can help you recognize your capabilities and potential for success so you can set more achievable goals for yourself. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/the-insecurity-behind-narcissistic-personality-npd-explained-1107194 |

Vicarious Trauma and the Value of Self-Care for Therapists
June 27, 2016 • By Wendy Salazar, MFT, GoodTherapy.org Topic Expert Contributor
People are drawn to the helping professions for many different reasons. They may feel a calling to assist in relieving others’ suffering and to help them heal from their emotional wounds. They may have been traumatized themselves and wish to share the coping skills they’ve learned with others going through similar issues. Or they may feel caring for others brings meaning and a sense of purpose to their lives. Whatever their reasons for becoming a therapist or other helping professional, they often experience vicarious trauma through the stories told by the people they work with. This secondary trauma, also referred to as compassion fatigue, can seriously hinder their work if they remain unaware of its negative impact and/or do not practice sufficient self-care strategies. Becoming aware of the signs of compassion fatigue is the first step in addressing the issue. The following are some red flags: Find a Therapist
Advanced Search
Preoccupation with the traumatic stories of the people they work with
Emotional symptoms of anger, grief, mood swings, anxiety, or depression
Physical issues related to stress, such as headaches, stomachaches, fatigue, or problems sleeping
Feeling burned out, powerless, hopeless, disillusioned, irritable, and/or angry toward “the system”
A tendency to self-isolate, be tardy, avoid certain people, or experience a lack of empathy and loss of motivation
Some of the professionals most likely to experience compassion fatigue include therapists, social workers, child welfare workers, emergency workers, police officers, firefighters, and ministers. However, anyone working with trauma survivors is susceptible to vicarious trauma. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/vicarious-trauma-value-of-self-care-for-therapists-0627164 |

Developing an adequate self-care strategy is key to preventing or overcoming vicarious trauma. Some of the techniques that can be used include: Maintain a good work-life balance. This involves taking time off to recharge and avoiding working long hours and/or carrying too heavy of a caseload or workload. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/vicarious-trauma-value-of-self-care-for-therapists-0627164 |

Taking a yoga class, doing aerobic activity, or even just going for a walk can be invigorating and help change one’s perspective. Start a meditation practice. Initially, try sitting quietly for just 10 minutes a day, then gradually increase the time to 20 minutes. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/vicarious-trauma-value-of-self-care-for-therapists-0627164 |

The person is involved in a child custody dispute, and the court thinks one or both parents need either a psychiatric evaluation or mental health treatment. The person has a mental health condition or addiction and the court offers treatment as an alternative to jail or prison time. The person is incarcerated, and the parole board offers treatment as a condition of early release. The person is a threat to themselves or others. A person with intense suicidal ideation may be ordered to get a psychiatric evaluation or be held in a mental health facility for a set period of time.

Content: Because of this, it mimics the effects of a heart attack—chest pain and shortness of breath—but is temporary. People with broken heart syndrome can undergo treatment for it. They may also choose to wait for the syndrome to reverse itself in a few weeks. It is important to note that if you experience chest pain or shortness of breath over a long period of time, you should consult your doctor for deeper causes. This is true for any other severe or long-lasting physical effects of grief. 2. Lowered Immunity
Some people catch colds or come down with the flu during times of immense stress. They may notice they are more susceptible to these same ailments during a period of intense grieving. This is because in adults, grief can lower the immune system. A 2014 study found that older adults experiencing grief, specifically due to the loss of a spouse, could not maintain a stress hormone balance. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/when-loss-hurts-6-physical-effects-of-grief-0520187 |

Aches and pains are a common physical symptom of grief. Grief can cause back pain, joint pain, headaches, and stiffness. The pain is caused by the overwhelming amount of stress hormones being released during the grieving process. These effectively stun the muscles they contact. Stress hormones act on the body in a similar way to broken heart syndrome. Aches and pains from grief should be temporary. If they persist over the long term, consult your physician. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/when-loss-hurts-6-physical-effects-of-grief-0520187 |

Digestive Issues
The digestive tract can be sensitive to times of intense stress. It can be all too common to seek comfort in food during stressful periods or to experience a queasy stomach when anxious. Grief inspires these symptoms and others, such as a loss of appetite, binge eating, nausea, and irritable bowel syndrome. Knowing these symptoms are caused by grief can help alleviate them. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/when-loss-hurts-6-physical-effects-of-grief-0520187 |

Content: This means that moving on or “letting go” can be much more difficult. Those memories and the grieving process can feed into an addictive feeling. A cycle of grief can take a toll on a person’s physical and mental health. Continuing the grieving process for a long period of time means a person’s risk for long-term health problems is increased. What could have been a short-term symptom—chest pain, stomach aches, or sleep problems, for example—can manifest in much more serious ways. These could include heart disease, eating disorders, or chronic fatigue. Managing Grief
It is important to seek help if you need it to regulate your mind-body connection. What gets thrown out of whack during the grieving process can, in fact, get back on track. Building a healthy routine can be a first step to mitigating some of the physical symptoms of grief. Regular exercise and a nutritious diet can help with pain, heart risks, digestive issues, and sleep patterns. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/when-loss-hurts-6-physical-effects-of-grief-0520187 |

Social Work and Secondary Trauma
The Connection Between Social Work and Secondary Trauma
More than half of Americans report experiencing trauma, and 90% of people seeking mental health care have a trauma history. Social workers are on the front lines of the trauma fight. Their support can help survivors live meaningful lives after catastrophic events. But chronic exposure to other people’s suffering is itself a form of trauma. Social workers can suffer secondary or vicarious trauma, which may trigger burnout, stymie their ability to support clients, and trigger chronic mental health issues. Vicarious vs. Secondary Trauma in Social Work: What’s the Difference? Social workers inevitably work with people who have experienced trauma such as the death of a loved one, surviving a natural disaster, being in combat, living in an abusive marriage or family, or surviving a sexual assault. Over time, this traumatic exposure can cause social workers to experience symptoms of trauma such as anxiety, depression, and even posttraumatic stress (PTSD) . Secondary trauma is a traumatized reaction to another person’s experience. | https://www.goodtherapy.org/for-professionals/business-management/human-resources/article/the-connection-between-social-work-and-secondary-trauma |

Secondary trauma is a traumatized reaction to another person’s experience. It can happen suddenly, after a single exposure. Vicarious trauma happens when a person is exposed to the trauma of others on an ongoing basis. Over time, both secondary and vicarious trauma can cause compassion fatigue. People with compassion fatigue may feel numb and disconnected, struggle to empathize, and be less effective at supporting their clients. Examples of Vicarious and Secondary Trauma in Social Work
