Hello Friends,
To function reasonably well, I must continually balance my temperamental artistic side with my logical scientific side in equilibrium. I rely on CBT:
"Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a treatment that aims to break down negative thought patterns and improve feelings by helping people deal with current problems. CBT theory suggests that thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and behavior are all connected, and that what people think and do affects how they feel. CBT can help people get to a point where they can achieve this on their own and tackle problems without the help of a therapist." (from quick Google Search)
Just like a cardiologist prescribes medications and physical activity to improve a heart condition, CBT with activities and medications can be pretty successful. Like all things applying to humans, results can be a statistical percentage of 50% or 80% improvement. The underlying factor may easily quantified as the ability and amount of socialization involved for success.
A factor hard to gauge is just how positive a relationship is with a sexual partner. The style suits both lovers and the frequency and degree of the engagements: Make or break the ability to live in harmony and with so many things in life a balance between."Too Little or Too Much"
To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, you can help some people sometimes and help some people all the time, but you can not help all people all the time.
