"I wish I had a funeral like that." The words, uttered by the school principal to other teachers as I walked past this little group, sounded strange. The funeral ceremonies for my former gym teacher Mr. Smith had just ended and mourners were walking away to their parked cars. More than 500 people attended the funeral- to which the long lines of cars and the resulting cross-traffic jams attested.

Once a marine, Mr. Smith imparted to us the collective wisdom from his own training and experience -- rigging tents, building a campfire and cooking on it, recognizing poison plants -- myriad issues that point towards self-reliance. These camping trips were truly enjoyable...

On one camping trip I forgot to carry my medication. As the night grew colder, I started wheezing and coughing. Mr. Smith was immediately at my side. He drove one hundred miles each way looking for an all-night pharmacy until he found my medicine. I told him that I could have done without the medication. He replied that I did not have to suffer needlessly if he could help it.
A few years later, on another camping trip, I was entrusted with taking care of the younger boys. We were traveling by train to a hill station. The wait for the connecting train would take most of the night. While the other campers were in their sleeping bags in the station rest area, Mr. Smith and I talked.

Retrieved October 28, 2010 at http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/35545.php Defense mechanisms, or repression, according to Sigmund Freud, were at the root of human anxiety. To deal with cognitive dissonance, or challenges to one's ego, contradictory information was repressed and anxiety was temporarily reduced. Although during the 1960s many laboratory studies on learning and memory and studies of perceptual defense treated the existence of defense mechanisms as empirical fact, in more
Rather, Rogers argued that the therapist was there fundamentally in a support role, with the client in his or her own journey toward self-actualization. How then, does the client experience this kind of therapy? For many clients who are experiencing anxiety or self doubt, person-to-person therapy can lead them to discover their own ability to heal themselves. Assuming responsibility for one's own mental health by recognizing the range of

When he was a child he also had to be careful about bathing in special soaps and applying special creams to his skin. I recall there being times when his skin was tremendously dry and it would scale so badly that my brother didn't want to leave the house. My grandmother would apply apple cider vinegar to his skin, as it was believed to be a fungus, and it
