That’s one excellent interpretation of mind.

I don’t use the term mind as it has many different definitions and confuses people.

To communicate definitively with psychiatrists,I had to learn an entirely new vocabulary with very specific meanings. They have corrected me many times.

We ran into this semantic problem during a Symposium at the University on the Neuroscience of Psychotherapy. Psychologists seldom know neuroscience, or neurobiology which is pretty much understanding neurotransmitters, hormones, and pharmaceuticals.

Feelings are difficult to quantify scientifically.

Your posts are interesting on this.

Can you help someone who is bipolar change the way they look at what others do or say? I know someone who is bipolar, and this person tends to look at things from a very negative viewpoint, so misinterprets the other person’s intentions. It’s like being in a courtroom where you are judged guilty for everything you do, and there’s no defense lawyer allowed to explain why someone said or did something, It’s like a toxic spiral downward.

How do you help someone stop thinking in negative terms? Can they be helped if they think everyone else is the problem?
