Natural Tips for Controlling and Reducing Stretch Marks

Natural Tips for Controlling and Reducing Stretch Marks

By Soap Blogger

For millions of women, not to mention a pretty sizeable chunk of the male population, stretch marks represent an apparently major skin complaint that takes a real toll on confidence. In some cases, those affected are willing to go to rather extreme lengths to either reduce the appearance of their stretch marks or banish them altogether – it’s not uncommon to hear of them being literally sliced clean off the patient. Suffice to say however this is far from a preferable course of action to take for the sake of your skin’s health, but with so much conflicting information as to what works and what doesn’t, it can be tricky to know what to do.

Well, the good news is that decades of testing all manner of weird and wonderful ideas has produced more than enough evidence to support some theories and completely quash others. So, if you’d rather side with the tips and tricks that have proven their merit time and time again, here’s an overview of the front-runners for natural stretch mark control:

Adding a simple and very gentle exfoliate to your everyday beauty regime can work wonders on stretch marks given time. However, the key word here is ‘gentle’ and this means steering clear of anything artificial or overly rough on the skin’s surface.

Perhaps the most obvious tip also happens to be the most important – your skin relies on its natural moisture to repair itself, protect itself and generally remain healthy. As such, you need to make sure you’re not only using plenty of moisturiser to seal all the good stuff in, but also taking in plenty of water to combat the problem from the inside.

Weight Control

It’s hardly a secret that the biggest trigger of stretch marks is rapid and/or excessive weight gain or loss – precisely why they’re often inevitable following pregnancy. As such, it’s important to keep a close watch over personal weight control in general as it is largely impossible to banish or even reduce the appearance of stretch marks when an individual doesn’t maintain a consistent and healthy weight.

Vitamin E Massage

Another favourite among dermatologists is the simple massage – ideally using a product that’s rich in Vitamin E. The massaging action itself can work wonders for the general health and suppleness of the skin, with the benefits of a good Vitamin E cream or oil of course well documented.

Time to Breathe

Constantly wearing tight, restrictive and abrasive clothing over the affected area is known to be a trigger for longer-lasting stretch marks that are difficult to get rid of. By contrast, giving the marks time to breathe will better facilitate the healing process.

Avoid the Sun

And finally, the rays of the sun may feel as though they’re doing your skin the world of good, but will in fact wreak further havoc on stretch marks. Not only will UV rays lead to an unwelcome and damaging drying effect, but will also at the same time make stretch marks darker and infinitely more prominent.

Locally Sourced Ingredients

Here at Simply Soaps, we believe there’s so much more to fair and responsible retail than stocking 100% certified organic skincare products. Organic does of course matter to us, but at the same time we’re uniquely committed to ensuring we only ever source our products from local suppliers when and where possible, in order to put as much back into the community as we possibly can.

We firmly believe that if there’s anything you can get hold of in your own locality, there’s nothing to gain from scouring the world far and wide for the same. Recent years have seen more business diverted to the Far East than ever before, driving long-standing and important UK companies wholly out of business due to the explosive competition. And while it may sometimes be more cost-effective to outsource globally, Simply Soaps believes there’s more to life than cutting costs by cutting corners.

100% Organic, 100% Responsible

By keeping the list of ingredients that go into our organic handmade soaps and skincare products as simple as possible, we limit how far we have to look for the very best suppliers in the business. When and where there’s a local supplier able to provide what we need, we refuse to give so much as a second thought to the idea of looking any further afield. We believe it’s up to the UK businesses like us to help other UK businesses continue doing what they do best, as opposed to siding instinctively with the cheapest bidder on a global basis.

What’s also great about keeping things local is the way in which it gives us total control over what goes into our products and how they are manufactured. Unlike most, we’re able to physically watch over the production and supply of every ingredient that goes into every one of our products across the board, meaning that we know exactly what does and does not make it into the mix. This is crucially important for anyone looking to sell organic products as unless you can confidently say that there isn’t a single trace of anything synthetic in the final product, you cannot rightly call it 100% organic.

Here at Simply Soaps, we say our products are 100% organic because we know they are 100% organic.

Hand Made in the UK

Along with ensuring we source all of our ingredients from local suppliers when and where possible, we’re also enormously proud to say that every Simply Soaps product is manufactured right here in the UK. This again comes down to not only putting something back into British industry, but also allowing us to keep a careful watch over every step of the manufacturing process in order to confidently label each of our products 100% organic.

When outsourcing product manufacture to international providers, there’s simply no way of fully knowing what happens during the process itself and so to call any such product 100% organic may not in fact be accurate. What’s more, we not only insist on keeping the manufacturing process as a whole on UK soil, but also take enormous pride in hand-crafting each of our soaps in the timeless, traditional way. Once again, we don’t believe there’s anything better than the human touch when it comes to creating products of genuine brilliance, which is why we’ll never use a machine to do any job a real person could do.

It helps reduce the impact on the environment, creates jobs for the local community and ensures that each and every organic soap we produce is a 100% unique work of art – a small price to pay for getting hands-on with the manufacturing process.

Brilliant Benefits

We’re often asked what it is that makes organic products so special when it comes to skincare. After all, the majority of buyers don’t think twice about buying non-organic items, so what’s the difference with the Simply Soaps range?

Aside from the various ethical arguments for organic products listed above, it’s important to remember that the primary purpose of these products is to look after and care for your skin. Your skin is 100% natural, therefore it simply makes sense that the kindest products to skin are those that are 100% organic. By using the finest ingredients hand-selected by us, we’re able to offer a range of products that are uniquely gentle on the skin and hypo-allergenic across the board. For those with skin sensitivities, allergies or any kinds of skin troubles across the board, the luxurious softness of our 100% organic products range is simply impossible to rival.

We’d love to hear from you at any time with your questions on any of our skincare products, or your suggestions on how we can improve our customer service. Take a minute or two to browse our range in full, or give the Simply Soaps team a call today for more information.

Books for Beers at SXSW!

SXSW LogoIf you’re attending the SXSW Interactive festival in Austin, TX next month, there’s no need to bother running around collecting stamps in order to win free books (who has time for that when there’s partying to be done?) All you have to do is buy one of the SitePoint crew a beer!

Yes, four representatives of the SitePoint team (including the two co-founders) will be at SXSW, sitting in on panels, gate-crashing parties and giving away freebies left, right and centre.

We’ll have a truckload of cool schwag to give away: some of our newest books will be up for grabs, as will those SitePoint t-shirts that were so popular at Web Directions South. All we’re asking in return is that you buy us a beer, and we’ll give you your free book (and maybe a t-shirt)!

How easy is that?

What’s more, rumour has it that a number of advance copies of SitePoint’s yet-to-be-released book, The Art & Science Of CSS, are going to be couriered to SXSW the moment they roll off the press, so you may even be able to score a copy before it becomes available in any store (including!)

While you’re at SXSW, look out for these SitePoint authors and contributers who are speaking on various panels:

In addition, the following authors are not on panels, but will also be at the conference, enjoying the festivities and possibly even giving away signed copies of their book:

The SitePoint crew will be easy to spot, as we’ll be wearing our SitePoint t-shirts. So come up and say G’day!

And while I can’t say too much on the topic, I can reveal that there may just be another even bigger competition on the horizon (for all readers, not just those attending SXSW), and this one will have the most awesome prize up for grabs.

But you’ll just have to wait for that one!

Sex and Power: How an Old Relationship Is Changing—Anita Hill to Harvey Weinstein | Esther Perel

In 1991, U.S. attorney Anita Hill testified against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas for sexual harassment, and nevertheless, the United States Senate confirmed Thomas to the Supreme Court. In 2017, after many women broke the silence on Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein with a horrifying number of allegations of sexual abuse, Weinstein was fired from his own company. Actor Kevin Spacey was fired from various productions after allegations of his transgressions surfaced. The same for comedian Louis C.K. And so on and so on in this monumental landslide. So what’s changed between 1991 and 2017? Why are institutions no longer protecting accused abusers? Psychotherapist Esther Perel believes it’s not the accused who have changed over time—they are not worse today or more prevalent than they were then—but rather it’s the accuser who has changed. In the past women did not speak out against sexual abuse because of the fear that they would not be believed. It was “part of the deal” of life as a woman, says Perel. Women today, however, finally have enough social power to withstand the forces of denial. “And so the system, for the first time, has to reckon and has to act with consequence to the allegations that are being made,” says Perel. The old dynamic between men and women is shifting, and there is rising proof that women will no longer tolerate having to ignore or manage sexually violent or unwarranted interactions. So where do we go from here? Perel champions increased understanding between men and women, rather than demonization, and recommends a shift in gender socialization that begins in childhood—meaning no more pink for girls and blue for boys. No more divisive constructs that make men and women feel as though they are from different planets. Esther Perel is the author of The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity.

Transcript: Sexuality and power are tightly interwoven, and this is not the first time that people have taken on the abuses of power that are inflicted upon people through the currency of sex. Anita Hill, not that long ago, took on Clarence Thomas. But maybe what changed is not so much the accused as much as the accuser. That perhaps women today have enough ‘massa’ and enough power themselves to withstand the forces of denial.

And so the system, for the first time, has to reckon and has to act with consequence to the allegations that are being made. The big question is not why is there anything more happening today; it’s that people have not spoken out—women, children, lots of people who often were disempowered and humiliated—did not speak out because of the fear that they would not be believed.

This is what is changing. That the burden of proof is switching a little bit and a certain norm is shifting.

One of the very good examples for me when I look at shifting norms is corporal punishment. For a long time parents and teachers could hit their children. It was part of discipline and part of childrearing. A norm shifted that said: “This is no longer possible. This is actually not a means for education. This is not a decent pedagogy. This is harmful and this is violent.”

Similarly something is shifting in the conduct between men and women. It’s a given that power and sex are intertwined, but sometimes they are intertwined in a way where it becomes power to, and therefore there is a power to feel affirmed, to feel desired, to feel strong, et cetera, versus a power over, and that is a form of humiliation, of oppression in which it is very little about sex and a lot more about violence.

So I think first of all, we’re using the word ‘misconduct’ and we are lumping in that word a number of different behaviors. We are talking about harassment, we are talking about assault, we are talking about rape. These are very different experiences, degrees of experiences, first of all.

Second: I think that before we only focus on misconduct we need to talk about male sexuality, male sexual conduct rather than only the misconduct. There needs to be a context to this. So it is true that in a different context women of a certain generation accepted a certain kind of banter or a certain kind of conversation, vocabulary, sexualization, use of power that they themselves participated in as well, that allowed women to actually be told all kinds of things for which they would have had probably different reactions than the younger generation today. It just was part of the deal. That’s what you have to contend with, and you know that some of them are vulgar and some of them have utter poor taste and some of them are creepy, and you just manage it. You manage a culture like that.

Kosta Koufos Signed 3-Year, $9 Million Deal With Denver Nuggets

Koufos, 22, is now averaging only 11.3 minutes after Wednesdaynight’s 122-93 win at Sacramento. But he has played a big role in some games, including a victory at New Orleans in which his energy and blocked shots led to a fourth-quarter surge. Gallinari’s and Koufos’ contract extensions signify Denver’s desire to build around a young nucleus. Last month, the Nuggets locked up starters Nene (five years, up to $67 million) and Arron Afflalo (five years, up to $43 million).”

Olajuwon: Amar’e Stoudemire’s Post-Game Transformation is ‘Night and Day’

by August 16, 2012

Knicks forward Amar’e Stoudemire has spent time in Houston training with Hall-of-Fame center Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon, and has claimed he’s made exponential progress this summer. And now, Olajuwon himself has corroborated those reports, saying Stoudemire’s post-game is now on another level. More details, via the New York Times: “’You won’t believe it,’ Olajuwon said in a telephone interview from his ranch outside Houston. The apprenticeship began on Aug. 6, with daily three-hour sessions on Olajuwon’s private court. Stoudemire has proved a quick study, assimilating moves and countermoves as fast as Olajuwon can demonstrate them. ‘It’s night and day,’ Olajuwon said. ‘What’s so nice is he wants it; he likes the post. He’s always wanted to play there, but he doesn’t have the moves that would give him that option.’ Since retiring in 2002, Olajuwon has become the N.B.A.’s go-to source for players hoping to develop their post skills. LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant have visited the Olajuwon ranch. So have Marcin Gortat and the Lopez twins, Brook and Robin. This month, it’s Stoudemire and Denver’s JaVale McGee.”

The Post Up: Dallas Dominates, Suns stop Bulls

by November 16, 2007

By Holly MacKenzie

The big game last night was obviously the Spurs and Mavs. While I thought Dallas would win, I did not think they would roll over San Antonio like they did in the first half. The Spurs just came out flat and stayed that way, with the exception of Duncan and Manu and then Brent Barry in the second half. Josh Howard looks like the game is coming so easily to him and Dallas is dangerous when they come out strong on both ends which is how they opened the game last night. On a totally non-basketball related note, Avery Johnson is by far the best dresser of any coach on the sidelines of any basketball game.

The Phoenix/Chicago game was surprising because I really thought the Bulls were going to get blown out. Hill played well for the Suns (which makes me very, very happy), and Diaw gave good minutes in the 4th when Amare was in foul trouble. I was loving the six blocks by Amare though, he is just so fun to watch. The game was the first of six on this road trip for Chicago. At the rate they are going any road trip has got to be better than playing at home and hearing the “Kobe” chants.

Tonight we have a full line up on tap. I am looking forward to the LA/Detroit, Utah/Cleveland, Miami/Boston and New Jersey/Orlando match ups. Lets see if Rashard Lewis can keep up the strong play. I hope LeBron can pull out another huge game like the one on Wednesday night. I also want to see Wade in his second game back for the Heat and who can turn down a chance to watch the Boston trio play? Not this girl.

Dallas 105 San Antonio 92

After losing out in the first round of the playoffs last season, the Dallas Mavericks are on a mission this year to prove their critics wrong. What better way to do so than to come out strong and grab a win against the defending champions? The Mavericks came out running and jumped on the Spurs in the 1st quarter, leading 33-18 after one. At the half that lead had stretched to 19, with Dallas up 59-40. The Mavericks shot 51.3% in the half, blowing the Spurs defense out of the water. On his way to a big night, Josh Howard had 18 points at the break in a game which saw the Mavericks lead by 10 or more for the entire 2nd half, after having that 19-point half-time advantage. While San Antonio was able to tighten up their defense in the 2nd half, it was too late. Dallas had offensive contributions from all over the board but, it was a different story for San Antonio. Beyond starter Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, who came off of the bench, the Spurs struggled mightily. Five players scored in double-figures for the Mavericks while the Spurs got a 24-point performance from Duncan and the rest of the starters combined for only 15 points. Tony Parker shot only 1-11 for the game while Michael Finley was scoreless, going 0-6 from the floor. Manu Ginobili led the way for San Antonio with 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. For the Maverick’s Josh Howard led with 23 points while Devin Harris won the point guard battle with Parker by scoring 18 in the contest. Dirk Nowitzki collected 17 points 8 rebounds and 4 blocked shots for the Mavs who also got 18 points off of the bench from Jason Terry.

Phoenix 112 Chicago 102

While the Chicago Bulls have been anything but impressive so far this season, their effort against the Suns showed flashes of a team far better than how they have started this year. Although they lost their sixth game of the season, they gave the Suns a run and most importantly, had four players reach double-figures as finally they appeared to have an offensive breakthrough. On the Phoenix side of things, the offense is coming, but is still not quite up to par. Luckily for both teams, the season is still very young with lots of time to improve. While the Suns led 56-46 at the half, the Bulls came out strong in the 3rd as they rallied back from a 14-point deficit, outscoring the Suns 29-19 in the quarter as they used an 11-1 run to tie the game with 21 seconds remaining in the 3rd. The Bulls took the lead to start the fourth, and there were four lead changes before the Suns took control for good, 88-85 with 7:28 remaining in the game. The Suns were just too strong down the stretch with Shawn Marion and Boris Diaw coming up big in the final minutes to help the Suns outscore Chicago 37-27 in the final period. While Amare Stoudemire continues to work his way back into playing full minutes, it was his foul trouble rather than conditioning problems that kept him on the bench in the 4th last night. Stoudemire picked up four fouls in under four minutes of play early in the final quarter. In his 26 minutes, he scored 14 points, and had a game-high 6 blocks. Leandro Barbosa had a game-high 25 points and Grant Hill had another great night for Phoenix with 24 points on 9-14 field goals. Marion had 21 and 9 while Nash contributed a double-double with 10 points and 15 assists. For Chicago, Ben Gordon scored 24 points and Luol Deng had 23 points and 9 boards. Andres Nocioni had 18 points and Kirk Hinrich added 17 in the loss. While the Bulls were 5-16 (31.2%), from the three-point line, Phoenix shot 10-24 (41.7%). The loss lowered Chicago to 1-6 on the season, while it boosted the Suns to 7-2.

Emergency grant application by Lincolnshire Police to prevent loss of 236 officers

Lincolnshire Police Chief Constable Neil Rhodes.
Lincolnshire Police Chief Constable Neil Rhodes.

In the face of a £10.4 million shortfall in funding, the chief of Lincolnshire Police has spoken to this newspaper about a planned application for a special emergency grant from central government.

Lincolnshire Police’s Chief Constable Neil Rhodes and the county’s MPs, have met with the Minister of State for Policing Mike Penning at Westminster Hall, where the option of applying for a portion of an emergency £15 million fund generated from savings was put forward.

It comes after the latest £3 million cut to the county’s policing budget, and letters from Mr Rhodes, the Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner Alan Hardwick and the county’s Police and Crime Panel to the Home Secretary.

Mr Rhodes explained: “In three years’ time, if the government funding cuts continue, there will be a £10.4 million funding gap for Lincolnshire Police. That equates to 236 officers.

“The force is the lowest cost per head of population in the country, but have the third highest workload, so we are doing well under pressure. But if 236 officers go out of 1100, it is not sustainable.

“When it becomes a question about the safety of people in Lincolnshire, it is just not acceptable.”

After hearing their concerns, Mr Penning is reported by Mr Rhodes to have said that he would ‘consider’ an application by the PCC for emergency funding.

Mr Rhodes and Mr Hardwick are meeting this afternoon to discuss the application, including the amount they would be asking for, although an exact timeframe of how long the process may take is not yet known.

The PCC is also consulting with the Police and Crime Panel to determine whether a rise in the police precept paid by taxpayers could also help meet the shortfall.

what is co operative learning
What is Co-operative Learning?

Cooperative Learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning.

(Johnson & Johnson , 1989 )

why use cl
Why use CL?
  • Raise the achievement of all students, including those who are gifted or academically handicapped
  • Help the teacher build positive relationships among students
  • Replace the competitive organizational structure of most classrooms and schools with a team-based, high-performance organizational structure.

(Johnson, Johnson, and Holubec 1994:2)

benefits of using cl in language teaching
Benefits of using CL in language teaching
  • A learner-centred approach which is better than a teacher-fronted classroom method because it aims to :
    • provide opportunities for naturalistic second language acquisition through the interactive pair and group activities
    • provide learners opportunities to develop successful learning and communication strategies
    • enhance learners motivation and reduce stress when a positive affective classroom climate is created

(Jack Richards)

bad group work experience
Bad group work experience
  • A group argues, has divisive conflicts and power struggles…
  • A member sits quietly, too shy to participate…
  • One member does all the work, while the others talk about sports…
  • No one does the work
  • A more talented member may come up with all the answers, dictate to the group, or work separately, ignoring other group members…
effective cooperation
Effective cooperation
  • Does not occur by chance
  • Occurs when the essential components structured within each cooperative lesson are ensured
  • Cannot be based on the assumption that all students possess appropriate social and learning skills

  • Name one thing your group has done well.
  • Name one thing your group should improve.
  • ( 5 min )
  • Spending all this time on group exercises will prevent me from getting through the syllabus.
    • Effective group work requires little in-class time
    • Pose questions to small groups
    • Successful teaching is more than covering the syllabus. What matters is how much was actually learned.
    • Handouts can supplement lectures
  • What about students who want to get credit without actively participating in the work?
    • Always a danger
    • Include provisions to ensure individual accountability
    • Call randomly on individuals
    • Peer evaluations

How to form groups?SIZE
  • The smallest group is 2. The largest recommended is 6.
  • In smaller groups, members participates more and group can work more quickly.
  • Larger groups generate more ideas, deal better with complex ideas, and create fewer group reports to process.
  • It’s hard to get left out of a pair; triads tend to surface issues and are good for process observing; teams of four allow multiple ways to pair.

How to form groups?FORMATION
  • Student self selection groups generally are not successful.
  • Heterogeneous groups with regard to academic achievement, gender, ethnicity, ability and learning style are better
  • Heterogeneous groups promote more elaborate thinking and explanations and provide students with opportunities to develop feelings of mutual concern.
  • Random assigned groups are best used if the taskis of short duration.

About the Series: Tales of Mimion
Mimion: a wilderness planet.

Four spectacularly different races share it: fur-covered, arctic-dwelling hominids; gargantuan whale-sized fish; sentient birds with twelve-foot wingspans; and humans.

Humans with seven senses instead of five, whose queendoms’ governments rely on those with the strongest telepathic and psychokinetic abilities. Political (and sometimes military) turmoil runs amok as monarchs forever scheme and maneuver to consolidate their power and influence.

From the world’s stone age to space age and beyond, the stories span history and recount the lives of the most powerful Empress down to the most menial serf, from scientists to swordswomen to scholars.

How the Ubermensch Got Into Harvard

Friedrich Nietzsche philosophizes on where luck and skill come into play

(Feedloader (Clickability))

It’s easy to feel bad when life kicks you in the shins. It’s easy to think it’s all your fault that your days are dark, cold, lonely, crummy and plagued with tedium. It’s also just as easy to think that on lovely days when everything is right with your world, that you somehow earned your comfort and prestige and that cool refreshing drink you’re sipping on your sun-dappled veranda.

But both outlooks are wrong. Chance plays a huge part in everything from who our parents are to how many zeros are printed on our pay stubs. No matter what, it’s never entirely your fault—or anyone else’s.

Case Studies

These are a selection of projects that have been carried out using Solar Slate Plate and Eric Tile solar mounting systems.
These projects include  commercial, domestic and social housing where they have all saved time and piece of mind for our clients. Our products are innovative solutions to long standing problems within the solar industry. Designed by professionals in the roofing industry, so they are fit for purpose whilst maintaining a 100% weatherproof seal. Our solutions are based around the knowledge that not every installer’s methods of making a roof weatherproof are the same. With our products, there is only one way of fitting them, so the quality of every installation will remain the same, regardless of the installer’s experience, which in turn, helps to eliminate costly return visits.
Our systems are fully compliant with MCS012 standards and don’t require or rely on mastics/sealants to make weatherproof.

JYJ Sasaeng Fan Involved in Audio Recorded File Speaks Up About What Really Happened

A few days ago, we reported on JYJ supposedly having verbally and physically abused female sasaeng fans (Extreme fans who stalk their idols and invade their privacy with questionable methods.). The allegations were based on an audio recorded file which spread like fire on online communities.

Days later, JYJ held a press conference in Chile where they were to perform for their fans. The JYJ members publicly apologized saying, “We want to give an apology for our unjust behavior in the past. We are sorry because of all the fans that worry for us and share our pain. In the future, we will think about the people that love us as public figures whenever we are in mentally difficult situations. We will think about the responsibility we have and never breakdown.”

JYJ didn’t deny that they hit the sasaeng fans but didn’t give more information as to what really happened either.

Today, more info were released regarding this topic. JYJ’ sasaeng fan spoke up about the incident.

On the March 10 episode of KBS 2TV‘ Entertainment program “Entertainment Tonight,” KBS’ reporters
issued an in depth coverage of the story involving JYJ and sasaeng fans.

It all started on March 6 when the media released reports about JYJ making use of verbal and physical
violence against sasaeng fans, based on an audio recorded file. KBS reporters recently met with one of the sasaeng fans involved in the audio file who revealed, “I wasn’t the one who recorded the audio file. I didn’t know that the file was given to the press either. It all happened back in the summer 2009 when DBSK were at the peak of their popularity and were given a break because they were all quite sensitive.”

She continued by saying, “As you could hear in the audio file one of the member told me and my younger friend to come to him and the sound of hitting you heard was me being hit by him.” She then added, “The “Ah” and hitting sound you heard were made by me.” revealing that she was making the hitting sounds. “He didn’t hit me a lot though, I was hit once and as he told me to come near him I came.”

One fan who was interviewed was quoted saying, “The sasaeng fans and JYJ seem to both have done wrong. But hitting them is not the solution.”

Now that a sasaeng fan has spoke up, JYJ still are to share their side of the story as well.

If you are curious about what defines a sasaeng , check out the list of their crazy actions here.

Whose side are you on?

Embracing inclusivity as we welcome new students

Sections: Letters Published

Dear Editor:

The incoming class of students at Colorado Mountain College will be the most diverse in the college’s history. Importantly, these students are entering CMC at a time of significant national turbulence.

  • 2020_8th_WoodGirl_091318 thumbnail

In light of the national context, it might be natural for new incoming students to question whether CMC will welcome their ideas and opinions; whether it will embrace inclusivity, tolerance and justice; and whether it will allow an open forum for all ideas. Though none of us can control all the actions of any who might wish to interrupt the peaceful environment available at CMC’s various learning locations, our amazing faculty and staff will strive to ensure that all students who look to CMC for a better future will be welcomed.

Our campuses are reflections of the communities across our region, and are therefore representative of its significant political, economic, cultural and ethnic diversity. There is no such thing as a “typical student” at CMC. Unlike colleges that select their students and create uniform conditions that replicate expectations of personal conduct and ways of thinking, CMC welcomes everyone and provides them with opportunities to prepare for success in the future of their choosing.

  • SAHN-TKD_8th_090618 thumbnail

As we witness unrest across the nation and globe, we at CMC are taking time to embrace and appreciate the great diversity of ideas and opinions our students bring. As appropriate within our myriad disciplines, we will encourage our students to understand the historical, political, social, economic, mathematical, scientific, philosophical and cultural underpinnings of our world. We will equip them for success in our local, state, national and international communities and economies. And, we will model the college’s vision, principles, and core values of inclusivity, civility, dignity and respect for all.

Emotional Blackmail

Are you enmeshed in the difficult relationships and painful emotions
often called emotional blackmail? Contact us to start untangling your life.

I spent a fortune identifying my emotional and mental problems – but the psychological names did not solve them! You helped me improve my relationships and change my emotions  … and keep the change. London

Emotional Blackmail is Emotional Abuse!

Blackmail is motivated by a need to manipulate or control, often by people who claimgood intentions. Some victims of emotional blackmail may perceive being abused asnormal, although all forms of abuse have heavy relationship consequences.

We help people understand emotional abuse, protect themselves from emotional blackmail, triangulation and over-diagnosis by therapists. We help people find relief and emotional freedom.

People who abuse or manipulate others may be unable to enjoy healthy relationships until they accept and assimilate their inner demons.
Contact us if you want to change.

Emotional blackmail includes excessive demands, punishment for normal behavior, unwanted displays of attachment (love), withholding affection or care and threats of humiliation. The damage caused by this emotional abuse often manifests as dysfunctional relationship habits and suffering.

My mother told me many times that she only conceived me so that I would
look after her in her old age, and that if I leave her – she will suicide. I am 24.

Like emotional incest, emotional blackmail often indicates dependence by people who are preoccupied with control. Often, the real victims of this abuse are children. If you have had enough of this in your family, let’s work together to end the craziness and regain your freedom!

Mother’s Boys . Father-Daughter Issues . Parental Alienation

Where are you Now?

I composed this simple table of relationship behavior many years ago.

Healthy Relationship Relationship in Crisis
They often show appreciation and
gratitude to each other
One or both are often dissociated,
irritated, depressed or in crisis
People respond to most verbal and
nonverbal communications
One or both ignore, avoid or shorten
most communications
They review events in their history They rarely review their relationship history
People greet after time apart and ask about each other’s activities and other news They rarely interact when together,
without even silent intimacy
They enjoy meeting each other’s needs for passion, intimacy and commitment One or both often ignore or criticize
the other’s goals and needs
They often discuss goals and dreams,
shared values and shared meanings.
They rarely discuss goals, values or dreams
They share meals and chores together They often cook, eat or do chores alone
They often go out together They generally prefer to go out alone
They create projects which require cooperation One or both avoid, ignore or give small attention to shared projects
They wish to enjoy sharing relationship happiness One or both want to separate but cannot because of guilt, fear or constraints
They respect most of each other’s choices and decisions, and politely discuss differences One or both show contempt for the other’s decisions and make angry demands
They want happiness together One or both prefer happiness alone

What is Emotional Blackmail?

Does someone attempt to manipulate your emotions? This may follow a cycle ofDemands – Resistance – Pressure – Threats – Compliance. The result?

  • You feel dominated – your life feels controlled
  • You feel intimidated by unreasonable demands
  • You feel attacked with words, laughter or threats
  • You feel manipulated by guilt, fear or compassion

Emotional blackmailers want power. They are often anxious and insecure – they may believe that they can relieve their frustrations by controlling you or other people, either habitually or during a crisis such as separation or divorce, loss of a job, illness or age.

Many emotional blackmailers were overprotected as children and did not develop confidence or skill in their ability to solve problems by themselves. Many are codependent with their victims (and some will change roles with their victims)!

Do you cause family, friends or co-workers to suffer
because you have emotional issues and you won’t get help?

You can end emotional blackmail. We help people who :

  • fear a blackmailer’s anger
  • need a blackmailer’s approval
  • endlessly doubt or criticize themselves
  • depend on the blackmailer for something
  • blame themselves for other people’s emotions

Consequences of Emotional Blackmail on Children

Emotional blackmail, extended criticism and contempt can have severe consequences, especially for children. Victims often become silent, watchful, shy, uneasy and lonely. They may later respond with aggression and anger to people who attempt to be friendly. For some of these people, kindness may seem like a threat!

Abusive Victims

To gain your compliance, abusers may:

  1. Act like victims
  2. Block your goals
  3. Make angry threats
  4. Install limiting beliefs
  5. Disguise abuse as humor
  6. Contradict your perspectives
  7. Withhold essential information
  8. Forget promises or agreements
  9. Invalidate your reality and perceptions
  10. Trivialize your thoughts and achievements

Most emotional abusers seem to be copying their parents, while some are professionals such as doctors and therapists who copy their mentors. (See therapist-client codependence). We can help people manage most forms of abuse.

Common Emotional Blackmail

  • Love (If  you love me you must do as I say)
  • Goals (You must help me fulfill my important goals)
  • Guilt (I sacrificed my life for you … you must do whatever I tell you)
  • Punish (You must follow my beliefs and instructions – or I will punish you)
  • Dependent / Codependent (I cannot cope without you so you must obey me)

Emotional blackmail is abuse – and the blackmailers are often relatives. They may threaten to punish you if you resist their control. They may know your vulnerabilities and your secrets, and use this knowledge to gain your compliance.
