So, someone told me I am not an adult because I don't drive since I have always been afraid to learn. I have a horrible fear of driving, I cannot picture myself doing it, I panic and freeze up when I get behind the wheel. Does...

derek_a No, this fear does not make you a child at all. As a therapist I have had people consult with me with this sort of driving fear many times. There are other phobias also over practically everything you can imagine, from germs to spiders, to bird and so on. It...

derek_a No, I would never keep a mobile phone in the bedroom at night, let alone under the pillow as they radiate an electrical field. It may not be absolutely proved, but I would never take chances. I don't have any phones in the bedroom at all. My landline has an...

derek_a yes, I would have to be willing to forgive anybody who has betrayed me because blame and hatred would damage my health within and have little nor no effect on the friend who betrayed me. But that doesn't mean I would have to stay in contact with them. I would...

derek_a This is a classic fear of loss that yo are describing here. Death is a big fear for most of us. It is a mean thing to say that is true, but it coming from fear of losing what he has achieved in life. It sounds as if he is in a state of non-acceptance. I...

It's no wonder Cumbrians don't improve their homes. Earlier I looked online at extending glass dining tables (in case I ever make any friends, fat chance) and I'm amazed at how expensive they are. They have definitely gone up...

I've been pondering over this for some time. What do I need the most? A new computer chair or a console table? The answer: DEFINITELY a new computer chair. The reason is simple. My chair is 12 years old and...

derek_a That's great Janey. My chair is a bit rickety, about 8 years old I think, and it has been sinking down, so I had to jam a piece of wood under the seat to stop it sinking. One of the gas cylinders that is obviously leaking now. Surprisingly enough, it is still...

I read it in a Marathi spiritual book. After birth we start doing karma. And thus stock of karma is gathered with us. When we left our body in past life we have some stock of karma. When we change our mobile it may be cheap or...

derek_a I like this analogy to the SIM card. As a Zen practitioner, I tend to work alone most of the time. It is said that when the student is ready the master will appear, and I see that we are always ready as masters come in different forms. An insect could teach us...

derek_a As males we are taught that it is not good to cry back in the playground in school. If we hurt ourselves playing some sport, we must "be strong" and not cry. But this is not healthy at all and most of us end up blocking the emotion. As a therapist I have had...
