How to educate a visual learner...
Visual learners do not hear you with their ears they see you and feel you. To get a Visual learner to understand what you are speaking to them about is going to be very frustrating and usually ending with the Visual learner storming off in a huff or they will be frustrated with you continuously, even accusing you of not listening to them. Visual learners use their eyes to observe you’re every detail and they feel your voice tones, pick up on your body language very fast and feel vibrations regardless if they come from physical, emotional, or spiritual sources.
Visual learns when very young learn to solve all problems with their eyes and feelings and become exceptionally skilled in these capacities but all Mary hell is let loose when they have to start to read and the eyes fail them over and over again. The little Visual learner tries even harder to solve learning the alphabet sounds with their highly accomplished visual skills but continue to fail.
By now the little Visual learner is being filled with fear every time reading is being requested by a parent or teacher. Even if a parent or a teacher has stated or has just felt the Visual learner has a problem they panic and either run away, fight back or just freeze over.
Around this time the parent or the teacher will be requesting to have the child tested for all sorts of learning difficulties. By now you will have a sad and very unhappy child who has lost confidence in themselves completely and will be exhibiting uncooperative behaviours.
The little Visual learner does not know they have to awaken their little left ear to solve these sound and reading problems so they are forced to guess and pretend all sorts of dramas to avoid having to go back and read ever again.
To help the Visual learner to be able to hear their sounds and begin to crack the techniques of reading you will have to explain to them in a gentle and loving voice that their eyes and feeling skills are brilliant for solving other life challenges but learning sounds and reading needs their left ear to be woken up. I use humour like “Your ears are asleep!” or “Your ears are on holiday somewhere, do you know where they are?”
As you sit and watch these children very closely you will see when they are trying to read by using their eyes or by using their ears and you will need to very kindly and lovingly point this out every time they make the change. It will help immensely to use a little humour during the first sessions as you do not want these little Visual learners feeling unhappy, or fearful of you or the processes.
As you slowly build the Visual learners confidence by teaching them Audio strategies which awaken their left ear then and only then can that child begin to develop the skill of left brain cognitive/analytical thinking.

i'm suffering from cognitive dissonance right now, i think, where i'm holding two contradictory ideas in my mind: the idea that daniel doesn't love me is incompatible with the idea that he continues to be uncertain regarding his own mind & that, given that uncertainty, perhaps things can ultimately be worked out between us. or, to look at another example, there's the idea that i deserve better coupled with the idea that i still love someone who can be so careless with my feelings.
my best friend at work is planning to give his notice shortly, & we've been talking about my situation -- in purely hypothetical terms, of course, much as we talked about his recent break-up with his girlfriend. this boy is the heartthrob of the CTO -- even when i was an ugly duckling high school dork, i always seemed to befriend the romantically popular tall-dark-&-handsomes in a way that most of the other girls couldn't (although i suspect for different reasons now, as then it was just that my adoration wasn't a threat, while now i think it's that i'm not much of a girl & i get along better with boys & can talk to them pretty easily) -- & this boy has offered his opinion & advice, as boys do, & i told him a few things:
01. i don't get why this is happening, 02. but i understand that my getting it is really sort of irrelevant at this point, 03. i'm pretty much awesome despite my neuroses so i'm fully aware of what daniel's walking away from & how, egotistical or not, i know that there aren't many out there like me & he'll choke on regret in time the same as phil does, which kills me b/c i don't want regret, i want my happy fucking ending, 04. i fully believe that he doesn't know what he wants, regardless of how insane that makes me sound, 05. what i want now, more than anything, is to bury this so i don't feel like i'm constantly shifting myself towards it like a sunflower to the sun.
to that end, i have a plan.
that plan is to continue to surround myself with people who'll look after me, including bart (pictured above with his best friend, the kitchenaid mixer), sarah (not pictured, but sitting on the other side of bart eating a cookie), ian, shagy, nicole, my cousins, my sister, & any other person i run into who'll let me be. they'll distract me when i need it & let me talk when i have to, & they won't fault me for beating a dead horse when i wonder aloud for the billionth time what the hell is going on in daniel's head & whether he truly just doesn't give a shit about me.
my angst isn't pretty, but it's me.
in the meantime, i'll cook for other people, but not the boy i want to feed; i'll rub other people's hands, but not the hands i want to rub; i'll go to see movies, but not with the person i want to be with; & time will pass & i'll put one foot in front of the other, b/c, like meg said:
it's NOT about forgetting it's NOT about giving up, it's about going through the motions of living so you don't forget how to do that [...] even if we don't feel it. even if we can't stop thinking about something horrible. we will walk, goddamnit.
i will walk.

The Global Mind Project stems from an earlier art and cognitive neuroscience project ‘Art of Mind’, which I initiated in 2004 at the Brain Sciences Institute, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne.
During the initial investigative phase I underwent numerous hours of EEG (Electroencephalograph) testing to record my brainwave activity, while engaged in the process of meditation and creative conceptualization. The purpose of this research was to observe the cerebral electrical impulses associated with inspiration and creativity.
The testing procedure and data analysis, conducted over several weeks by Professor Rodney Croft, revealed the varying neurological responses to these predetermined mental tasks.
This image was composed from my EEG visualisation printouts.

Symposium on Cognitive Sceicne, Mindfulness, & Consciousness.
Biology PhD student George Todd presents his research on hover fly cognitive and behavioral ecology during a Three Minute Thesis competition held last week in the Century Rooms of the Millennium Student Center at the University of Missouri–St. Louis. A total of 14 master's and doctoral students took part in the event, which required them to present their research in a 3-minute presentation using only one static slide. Three Minute Thesis presentations are competitive, and the expectation is that they be understandable for a general university audience –not just to specialists in the student’s area of research. The official Three Minute Thesis organization is housed at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, and the UMSL competition following the organization's guidelines with a few local modifications.
Biology PhD student Jeremy Howard placed first in the UMSL competition with a presentation on spatial navigation in bumblebees. Chemistry PhD student Palak Sondhi was second with a presentation on binding interactions of biologically relevant molecules studied using surface-modified and nanostructured surfaces. Criminology and Criminal Justice PhD student Timothy Kauer finished third for his presentation on a legal analysis of protecting juveniles exploited through prostitution. Biology PhD student Ketra Oketcho won the people's choice award for her presentation examining plant disease resistance ot the East African Cassava Mosaic virus. (Photo by August Jennewein)

Basic differences between the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamics and Humanistic theories.
The basic difference between the CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and psychoanalyse theories is what denotes the source of the problem. Freud thought the main problem is that our unconscious mind drives our actions and we don’t have direct access into that sphere, therefore the client can’t find out what is the cause for her or his disturbances. Psychodynamics counselors help the patient to access their own unconscious mind so that he or she can realize their own suppressed thoughts.
CBT theory states that by our thinking we connected with the outside world and with other people therefore the root of our problem is what we think. We can solve the problem in our conscious sphere by raising awareness about our irrational beliefs or distorted thinking and change them. Fraud doesn’t want to change what we think, rather he wants us to understand the motivation behind our actions and by this we can correct our behaviour. CBT counselor uses goal settings to fix with a client what kind of problems need to solved and analyses his or her conscious thoughts with him to show which is causing a problem and try change.
CBT is a short term therapy but psychodynamic therapy is based on a long term treatment, the humanistic method does not have a time for how long the therapy period needs to be.
By CBT or psychoanalysis a patient-doctor relationship exists but the humanistic theory is person centred, the client and counsellor are equal. The humanistic method doesn’t want to change the client’s beliefs or change their behaviour, rather give the possibility to talk about his or her problem that can’t easily be discussed with family or with other people. Humanistic counselling doesn’t want to solve the client’s problem as the CBT model does or reflects the unconscious mind as psychodynamics therapy does it is more about trying to help the client to be more conscious about own problem and give the possibility of thinking about how to deal with it. Humanistic counselling is non-directive that means the patient is determined by the flow of counselling which can’t be said about the others. Also it has a big difference with what kind of skill they use; in another chapter I have explained this. Humanistic counselling is more emotional, that means the councillor tries to create a warm environment and by empathy and unconditional regards helping the client to explore their own problem and thinking.
The main elements of Psychodynamic Theory.
The psychodynamic theory established and developed by Freud (1856–1939) who described the person’s psyche in a new way. He explained the different various psyche states such as conscious, preconscious and unconscious. The conscious is the first state of our psyche, which makes up a small part of how we are; this is an awake sphere of what we know. The preconscious sphere is near the surface of our psyche but we don’t have direct access, when we want we are able to remember different types of information such as telephone number or other memories. The biggest part of our psyche is unconscious, this part of the psyche we don’t have access directly to. Our psyche is similar to an iceberg only a small part of it is visible to us as consciousness, but the main part of the iceberg is under the water and we are unable to see as we can’t know our unconscious.
Furthermore Freud divided also our personality into three areas; these are known as the Ego states. The first ego state is ID which includes our instincts and desires. Our instincts we are born with and are part of the unconscious processes. The personality of the newborn child is all ID and only later on it develops to the state of ego and super-ego. The opposite of the ID is the superego which concerned with conscience and moral judgment. The superego is creates the idealized self-image that makes by our culture and often contradicts with our desires. The superego can stop you from doing certain things that your ID may want you to do, because the superego consists of two systems: the conscience and the ideal self. The ego is trying to balance between superego and ID. The ego has no concept of right or wrong, it simply aims to satisfy its own desires without causing harm to itself or the ID. It uses techniques such as repression, suppression and sublimation as defense mechanisms to filter out unacceptable thoughts and feelings.
According to Freud personality is established by the age of five and he believed early experiences influence our personality and behavior later on when we are adults. He thought that personality is developed through a series of childhood states because the energies of ID become focused on certain erogenous areas, by this distinguished 5 stages of psychosexual development. If the psychosexual stages are completed successfully, the result is a healthy personality, otherwise fixation can occur.
This is the GAU-8 Gatling gun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-8_Avenger). It spews depleted uranium. This airplane is designed to attack things on the ground (people). The air show causes a lot of cognitive dissonance for me. I love technology (not the iPhone type, but real machines), I love airplanes, and I'm anti war - nearly a pacifist. Air shows are always right wing, pro-war events. I see why the Soviets paraded their tanks and missiles through Red Square as the bombers flew in tight formation overhead. If you can build such cool machines, how can you be wrong? I did keep the boys well away from all the recruiters.

Cognitive Reorientation:
Using the Danish television police drama Forbrydelsen (The Killing) as a jumping-off point, Clemens investigates the unseen labour involved in the spectacle of television, as well as the televisual clichés we have come to understand as representative of successful detective work. Focusing on a crime scene that occurs in the first episode of the first season, which shows a car being pulled from a river, Cognitive Reorientation is a deconstruction and reconstruction of the scene’s various elements in the centre of Christchurch, providing a glimpse behind the scenes into the often-clunky production of mass entertainment.
Sited in the basement of the former Price Waterhouse Coopers building, which housed a carpark, pool, and gym, Cognitive Reorientation relates to the imperfections and fallibility of memory. Like a great deal of the city that was destroyed or demolished following the 2010-11 earthquake sequence, the Price Waterhouse Coopers building was once a place of significance for many. The remnants of the building will eventually be removed, leaving no trace and forcing those who knew it to rely purely on their memories without visual cues.
A great deal of Clemens’ previous work has engaged with the mechanics of cinema and television production, using original and recreated props and video clips from Terminator 2, Blade Runner, and Nightmare on Elm Street to produce complex installations that weave fiction and non-fiction together. There is reverence in these works, but also an implicit questioning. In Cognitive Reorientation, Clemens asks: Where does artistic fabrication begin and end? What is a clue? A sign? Proof? What is the status of evidence when our methods of replication have advanced so rapidly?
Mindshift Psychological Services provides cognitive behavioral therapy that helps patients stop negative automatic thoughts right as they begin, then turn them into automatic positive thinking. Although our CBT psychotherapy service is based on simple principles, it can have tremendous positive outcomes for individuals in learning practical self-help strategies, establishing on the theory that thinking negatively is a habit that can be broken.

Every time I receive correspondence from my mother, I am somehow caught off-guard by what is, in fact, a well-established pattern. So I'm sticking this post-it note to the folder in which her correspondence resides. Cognitive restructuring (without malice, and, actually, imbued with a genuine forgiveness) is the operative goal here.
Edited to add: A full sixteen days ago, I had this comment on her most recent correspondence. It'd be awesome if I could abbreviate the length of time it takes for me to fully process these sorts of events.
Before I start posting my Thesis series “Cognitive Dissonance”, I would like to extend an offer to anyone who is interested in receiving a 3.25in x 5in signed print. I have a couple dozen available. If you are interested please message me your mailing address.
Also, let me know if you are interested in pen palling as I am an avid postal enthusiast myself. I find handwritten letters/postcards to be precious and enticing.
