IT ALWAYS HAPPENS IN SUMMER
It always happens in summer, making fruit salad with watermelon, melon, strawberries, peach, apricot, and cherries, only after putting them to your ears pretending to have new ruby earrings, and only after eating one, because if it’s the lucky “first cherry of the year,” it will hold a wish, never qu…
WHAT DO POLITICIANS THINK OF HUMAN BEINGS?
(Video transcript)
I imagine that many of you will turn up your noses today at the thought of yet another psychologist who starts talking about politics and reduces everything to psychology. But I’m absolutely convinced that without a clear and well-defined understanding of human nature, politicia…
PAUSE
Pause is a strange term. It may mean catching your breath, then leaving again. But it can also mean stop, it can mean enough.
“we’re on break!” in the office it’s cool…

I don’t know exactly when my parents first realized there was something different about my eyes. All I know is that I was still very little, only a few months old.

Kapilar 237.
“What?”

Turkey is a wonderful place.
“Well, that’s…
THE SCREW AND THE PAINTING

PSYCHOTHERAPY – CIVIL RIGHTS – ADHD
Good morning, everyone. Today I’d like to make a very short video about some issues that I think are being treated a bit too lightly. I’m obviously still talking about the field of psychiatry, specifically psychotherapy. I’m referring to the fact that we’re hearing more and more often from authoritat…
