Incel Treatment Approaches
Published in Brian Van Brunt, Chris Taylor, Understanding and Treating Incels, 2020
While it may be a challenge to accomplish, active listening is the key to addressing the problem with the incel. At the heart of his frustrations is a belief that he is worth less than everyone around him and that he does not have value. To counter this belief, the therapist must emphasize the basic concepts taught to us in year one of our training; attending and focusing, really focusing, on what they are saying gives them an opportunity to feel heard and understood. If this sounds rudimentary, find a psychologist or social worker who has been offering therapy for a long time, perhaps even someone close to retirement or already in retirement. Ask them what was most effective in their practice. We guarantee they won’t talk about technique. Instead, they will tell you about listening, caring for the person, understanding from their perspective, and reaching out to them with a sense of hope for a better future.
Sources of Ultrasonic Exposure

Generally, the stronger the focus, the shorter the focal length, the narrower the beamwidth at the focal point, and the smaller the extent of the focal zone. Conversely, the weaker the focus, the longer the focal length, the wider the beamwidth at the focal point, and the longer the extent of the focal zone. There is no one set of focusing parameters that works well in all imaging conditions. A set of transducers with different frequencies, focal lengths, and diameters (or a single transducer structure which produces all of these) should be available for use in each specific imaging situation.

In a survey of 43 2C-B users who completed different questionnaires, the most frequent acute subjective effects were changes in tactile, visual, and auditory perception followed by physical sensations and alterations in thought. Adverse effects included mainly trembling, sweating, and difficulty in focusing vision. Users also reported residual effects during the 48 hours following intake, which consisted principally of insomnia and involuntary reoccurrence of the experience (flashbacks). Of these, none was described as being prolonged or severe (Caudevilla-Gálligo et al., 2012).

Overall, students perceived SVCSLSs as an effective tool during a crisis, with a better perception of females towards gained knowledge, clinical skills, and social competencies than males. Compared with face-to-face learning, students' performance did not show significant variations in all program phases. The current study also revealed that SVCSLSs had many advantages in terms of studying from home, SDL, continuous access to learning material, and enjoyment. Other conveyed advantages were promoting the recall and memorising abilities and decreasing social isolation during the pandemic without fear of getting infected. Other benefits mentioned included promoting higher cognitive skills in the form of deeper understanding, focusing on details, applying acquired skills, and improving problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
From expert to coach: health coaching to support behavior change within physical therapist practice

The process of MI includes engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning. These processes often overlap but are sequential and recursive. Engaging is the foundation of many clinical relationships in that clinicians build rapport with their patients to then build trust and a collaborative partnership. Focusing is about maintaining a patient-driven direction in the conversation about health behavior change. Focusing assists both the clinician and the patient to understand their shared purpose. Evoking is a way of communicating with the patient to elicit his or her own motivations and strengths leading to the patient talking himself or herself into changing. When patients make the decision to change a health behavior, the next stage of planning may not come easily. When the patient is ready, a specific plan of action is developed, often igniting an even stronger commitment to change from the patient.
Effects of mento-physical exercises on mental fatigue of shift work

Mental workload is described as mental effort or emotional strain, which is complex and multidimensional [1–3]. Mental workload reflects the capacity or resources required to meet task demands [4], involving the time pressure and the effort exerted to execute the task. Mental fatigue appears when the mental workload, caused by cognitive activities, is prolonged [5] or its difficulty level increases [6]. In other words, mental fatigue is a complex psychophysiological phenomenon caused by long-term cognitive activities that result in feelings of tiredness or lack of energy [5]. This type of fatigue involves decrements in human information processing capability due to mental workload [7]. Heavy mental workload may deteriorate individual performance [8], and mental fatigue may decrease vigilance, increase response time [9] and human error, damage memory, and weaken decision-making and reasoning power. It may also increase the risk of depression and anxiety, absence at work, functional disability, endangering workers’ mental health [10], difficulty focusing and frequent distraction [11].
