Will fly: When the plane scare
Today, air travel has become a habit, but many people find it extremely disturbing. The phobia of flying can hinder any promotion work, as well as trips to visit family or friends, or sought after rental.
In a year there are about 35 accidents per 35 million flights total: watching in numbers there seems to be little to worry about. Yet the fear of flying is very common. Why? There are several reasons. The first is familiarity. The plane is not at all familiar, unlike, for example, the automobile, we make thousands of times a year. There are a series of events related to normal and means that scare novice passengers. The bell that calls the hostess, for example, often generates discomfort and fear. The same applies to the turmoil. Yet when we're on a bus, a street full of holes, we are subject to greater stress at times. Who flies frequently knows these things. Familiarize themselves with the means and scales of fear. Then there is the question of control. Once you get on a plane you must give it the ability to have control of the medium on which you are. The car instead gives a feeling, though illusory, more control. On the plane there should be entrusted to professional drivers, checks, thousands of engineers who have worked with us. The problem is that the perception of risk enters into the sphere of emotion more than 'that of rationality. The strong emotions have a role. Especially when the media talk about in depth in a plane crash: the descriptions are more dramatic than the fear rises. Obviously an important role is also played by 'imagination: People think of terrible situations, perhaps impossible in reality. Those who suffer from fear of flying, aerophobia, fears what might happen in the contact by plane, both before and during the flight, or even when you decide to travel. All the moments of the trip by plane can be lived with fear, although there are some particularly feared, for example, takeoff and landing, or certain weather conditions that most frequently give rise to anxiety (turbulence, thunderstorms, fog and wind strong). The intensity of fear can range from simple discomfort experienced before or during the flight, the absolute terror that prevents the person from the journey or, if this is impossible, it causes serious inconvenience to the crisis of acute anxiety and panic . Fear of flying may be felt even by those who have never flown, since blocking simple decision to take the plane. The
aerophobia is classified among the anxiety disorders in the group of specific phobias, which now seem to be the most common forms of anxiety. It is therefore, in terms of definition, an unreasonable fear, without apparent justification, marked and persistent, a particular object, place or situation.
Usually the fear of flying does not occur in isolation: it is often associated with other types of phobias, especially those for transportation, for the heights and enclosed spaces and can be found alone or in combination, the following symptoms: Somatic
: affecting various systems: cardiovascular (tachycardia and / or vasoconstriction periferica che provocano una sensazione di freddo alle estremità e i brividi); respiratorio (respiro corto, superficiale e frequente, la sensazione di mancanza d’aria, un senso di oppressione toracica); ghiandolare (aumento della sudorazione); gastrointestinale ( nausea e vomito , senso di gonfiore e pesantezza addominale, crampi addominali, sensazione di “farfalle nello stomaco”, diarrea ); urogenitale (aumento dello stimolo all’orinazione e della diuresi); muscolare (senso di tensione e dolore muscolare, cefalea “a casco”, rigidità e dolori alla regione cervicale, crampi addominali).
Psychic: including a general feeling of painful waiting, the fear of going crazy or dying, fear of losing control.
This set of symptoms can occur in different gradients of gravity (from the acute crisis to a permanent feeling of discomfort) and when the subject is in the situation-stimulus (for example at the airport upon check-in, when you fasten your seat belts), or some time before the trip, in some cases even a month before and only evoke thoughts or mental images that relate to aircraft, flying, heights, travel.
Obviously if the turmoil ' anxiety (which can degenerate up to the level of panic ), which however may remain present throughout the flight, increases dramatically. It 'necessary to distinguish individuals with agoraphobia with panic attacks than those with a phobia of flying, as the former are concerned by the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing sick while they are locked in' plane while the latter are more concerned by the idea of \u200b\u200ba fall or crash.
Fear of flying can occur at any time of life, sometimes abruptly, most often in a piecemeal manner. In some cases there are, in recent or remote history of a person, events that can be traced to the onset of symptoms, or which, if nothing else, the subject himself refers as a cause or event triggering fear. In the case of an unexpected event, there is often a "traumatic" who is elected to the triggering event unique and absolute. As in any other case of more or less sudden onset of phobic symptoms the cause is never detectable in a single situation or event: the more often we witness a complex chain of circumstances which, variously intertwined with the personality of the subject and their emotional experiences, evolve over time to lead, often through an event particular that acts as a trigger, the manifestation of distress in its fullness.

hinders traffic ... pedestrian! The philosophy of Homer Simpson
A yellow Ferrari, yesterday on a course, caused a stir among the crowd that enjoyed the rub of Saturday afternoon.
In fact, taking one of the most famous streets of the capital, the driver did not notice to proceed along a street at that moment, for pedestrian use only.
The people bothered by having to dodge a car to pass so striking in clear violation of the rules, rebelled and led by a man on a bicycle, has prevented the custom-built to continue his journey in the historical center of Rome. The two occupants of the fireball in Maranello where the views are bad and had it not been for the timely arrival of the brigade to rescue them, presumably, would have taken an even more frightening.
Once in command, then the fine was not so high as one might have expected: 200 euros for speeding and violation of the ban. We hope that this is not an incentive to commit similar stunts for extemporaneous "wide boys in the neighborhood" with such an amount that you pay an aperitif or a little more ...

“Perché io valgo!”: L’ arte di coltivare un sano egoismo
often happens that the educational methods of our society tend to impose rules, judgments, feelings of guilt and inadequacy in particular when we are happy, we love, enjoy, laugh, party, want, change, and then we let go lead us to control ourselves, to repress our instincts and our desires. Children are often told: "before the duty and then the pleasure" in this way children learn to separate the two and create a sort of dualism in which renounce is more important than joy, as the main activity may not contain joy or pleasure. Also often are often told: "be still", "you sit," "shut up", "do not talk nonsense," and from an early age we are channeled in the direction of the control, resistance and surrender to follow their own instincts also when they are healthy, and thus to repress emotions. To underline this directive education is the classic saying of their parents when, for example, a child cries: "What have you done? .. What have you done? "Instead of saying" Why are you crying? And 'something happened? ". It 'clear emphasis on the dimension of doing and not being emotionally, as if in fact the emotions had an accessory which can be used if they are positive and therefore more manageable than the negative. Result? Children do not have the opportunity to discover their inner world is therefore seen as dark and dangerous and it is better not to move in the best-known and easily controllable world of action. They learn that "you are what you do" and in this selfishness is healthy because it prevents a shelter capable of recognizing and efficient because it will delete the appropriate means to discover: the other. The classic saying "those who praise you Imbroda" and the brand as conceit and vanity, and sin, the simple pleasure and feel good themselves, but unfortunately the indexes that reflect on what they actually are offered, even today, as a model of modesty, submission and endurance. Think of themselves is considered an act of selfishness, and this leads to repress themselves. The consequence of depression, anxiety, fear, panic attacks, should help to put these plans into question. First, we must remember that every individual is a unique and talented and their own personality. Unfortunately, education, society, a certain type of morality that is derived from old beliefs, families, the traditional school system tends to align the human being with the other suppressing individual talents. We should begin to think more about ourselves worry less about the expectations others have for us, this is not selfishness, is searching for his own way, their identity, their own individual evolution. Selfishness exists if someone really are damaging, and even if we do not try to love more than ourselves, follow our passions, our talents, our desires, our way of life, regardless of what others might think initially. We can not give love to others before they learn to give love to ourselves. Many recall the phrase "Love thy neighbor" but few remember how to end "as yourself." To love freely we must first shine we love, but if we are people who have repressed their desires and their cretività that kind of love can give? No one can know what is really our own good, either mothers or fathers or friends, or teachers, we only we can know and only we are able to feel within ourselves what is right for us and for our lives. Sometimes the advice of others when pressing, even being cast for a good, although certainly a good basic intention, the result is often confusion with the risk of creating insecurities and fears that are not required to own personal development and away from the person its center. It 'important to let life go with the flow of our creative instincts, feel what we have within our deep and follow him, to love ourselves for more power then also be made more and more pleasing to those around us and even more to love others, without compromise or expectations. The mother too apprehensive, his father too severe, do not help their children to grow, but they charge you of anxieties and fears that eventually could lead to depression, anxiety, panic, eating disorders looking for affection or to fill holes, or otherwise in denial of food, nutrition, imbalances, relationship problems, guilt in wanting to do something other than what is asked of them and other unpleasant situations. Suffering stems from the fact that we try to resist our real passions and real to our desires, our real identity, to free choice preferred to meet the expectations that are not ours to not displease someone, even if just to satisfy the wishes of others for a short . In the end the choice is always and only ours, as well as the consequences of who we want to hear? Are we to live our lives and if we do not who will do it for us? We must not resist the passions, to control them, to judge them, stop them or feel guilty when we experience them. The task of the passions is to remember who we are, what we live, we love, that we love. Adapt to the expectations of others is the true selfishness it is because we oppress ourselves and about others is because we help them grow and understand that it is important to detach all the identities of others without being dependent and without creating dependency in turn. We need to find our self and give a real sense of our existence. By conforming to the will of others and the expectations of others is like wasting our existence and the wonderful growth opportunities that this offers us through the experiences that help us grow as human beings. People who live their passions and that you forward in search of one's being unique, are recognized as individuals, find their identity. Can sometimes be considered selfish because they defend their habitat, their talents, and why do not conform to the will of others. People who feel dominant and even people who feel victimized, they tend to control others and bring them to their beliefs, first check for the first repressing themselves. So feel the need to feed through the energy of those close to them. They are not as strong as you might think but rather are commonly vulnerable people who need to check themselves first, then the situations and people nearby, thinking to make unfortunately their good and to protect them. They're really soddisfacedo their needs and their fears. Through the protection tend to reprimere i propri cari impedendo loro di crescere, come molto probabilmente è avvenuto a loro volta quando erano bambini. Quindi queste persone continuano a riportare a ruota perpetua dei comportamenti ciclici, a recitare lo stesso copione. La protezione offerta o imposta è come una gabbia dorata che quando supera la soglia (dopo l’infanzia) impedisce la crescita individuale. D’altro canto anche il vittimismo è una modalità comportamentale per controllare gli altri. Attraverso il vittimismo la persona che utilizza questa modalità crea nell’ altro il senso di colpa se non risponde alle sue aspettative, lo fa inconsciamente o volutamente. “Non mi accompagni a fare la spesa, sei il solito egoista e io poi come faccio da sola?” Being visible is sometimes less important to protect the victims and to protect themselves, and consequently also to help the person who uses it to be more independent and therefore increase her sense of self-efficacy. It 'important to be able to recognize what is right for themselves and take responsibility for their lives and their actions. So it is useful not being influenced by the expectations that others have to be modeled or not their identity, it is important to follow their real desires, set out on their own way, follow their own choices, not abolish them, hear their own inner world. So listen, what that tells us our soul, our self, without falling into the trap because remember, the others give us selfish just because we meet their need or desire: well then if you think about it really worth it or if maybe a little 'healthy selfishness "are not in fact make us discover that "we are worth" for the simple fact of its existence.

Gioco d’azzardo: quando avere “l’asso nella manica” diventa patologico
Gambling is present in human culture since ancient times. There are examples of images of dice and players in the depictions of the ancient Egyptians as early as 3000 BC have been found in ancient Rome and signs with slogans "bets and food." The dice game has the longest history; betting on horse races make their appearance around the twelfth / thirteenth century., the first lottery born in Italy and England in 1500, the philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal invented the roulette in the sixteenth century, in 1885 the American Charles Fay developed the first slot machines there are examples in the history of "hardcore gamers" Caligula and Nero, George Washington, the Duke of Wellington, Dostoevsky, the Aga Khan ... but to this day are known gamers (Pupo, Emilio Fede, Baldini, etc.).. To date, a total of more than 15 millions of our countrymen, just under 40% of the population and involved in the game, of course, not all so morbid and not all giocatori d’azzardo incalliti, tuttavia bisogna sottolineare il fatto che il 50% della popolazione maschile ha giocato d’azzardo almeno una volta nella vita, contro il 29,2% di quella femminile. A ciò è pervenuta un’indagine condotta dall’Istituto di fisiologia clinica del Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche (Ifc-Cnr) di Pisa che ha analizzato i dati Ipsad-Espad 2007-2008. “I soggetti di età compresa tra i 25 ed i 34 anni sono quelli che hanno maggiormente dichiarato di avere giocato almeno una volta: il 55,1% dei maschi ed il 34,5% delle femmine,ma lo studio evidenzia soprattutto che ben il 10,8% dei giocatori, pari a un milione e mezzo di persone, prova l’impulso a giocare somme di denaro sempre most significant among them players, 5.3% hides even the amount of money spent with family. " The alarm on social issues related to gambling reflects the widespread perception of the growing seriousness of the problem. What is the relationship between gambling and gambling? If we are referring to the now classic Caillois categorization of the four basic forms of play (alea, agon, mimicry, ilinx,) while we show how the element of chance (the dice, fate, luck \\ hex) belongs to a lesser extent obvious (though not exclusively) in those games of chance is, where the random component is predominant (the classic example of roulette). The uncertainty, ie the uncertainty of the outcome, allowing the bet, the wager determines the win or loss, gains and losses can strengthen or weaken the desire to gamble again. The player called compulsive, which still has to be classified along a continuum (the casual gamer, normal, at risk, compulsive) showed a progressive loss of ability to set boundaries to involvement in the game, economic losses and more frequent eye-catching, absorbing more and more exclusive in the activity of the game (so much so that he is defined by some ludomane). There are many signs of a narrowing field of consciousness (similar to what occurs in the phenomena of trance) and almost psychotic aspects of the compulsive gambler (loss of reality). In a significant analogy with substance dependence, were also highlighted forms of addiction (figures need to bet more and more high,) and withdrawal (sweating, tremors, tachycardia, anxiety) in the same game players who are prevented (eg. because of hospitalization or detention). The pursuit of the loss, namely the desire to rebuild, falls into a progressive and ever more dizzying economic disaster the compulsive gambler. Phenomena which appear at this point the demand for loans to wear, often lies in the family intended to hide the real economic situation, the lack of attention or lack of interest in the work, leading to periods of time or longer in severe personal crisis (sometimes with suicide or suicide attempts) that can motivate the compulsive gambler to seek help (more family members are often the player to break the curtain of secrecy, shame and despair). But what are the causes and mechanisms that support and reinforce that behavior?. Regarding the causes, research into possible genetic and neurobiological factors are still young and did not show anything for sure. There is certainly part of the compulsive gambler looking for peaks of activation ("HIG"), which may suggest mechanisms neuromediator characteristically different from the average operation (in particular low levels of serotonergic activity). Regarding the mechanisms for reinforcement instead there are conditions that favor the continuation of the game and considered a strong positive reinforcement: the "almost win" (... I bet the 71 is released on 7!), The fallacy of Monte Carlo (occurs when players tend to overestimate their chances of success following an unfortunate sequence of play or lost bets), the "flight of the loss" and a big win.
Having established why you fall in pathological gambling is necessary to evaluate different methods intervento.Per of compulsive gamblers who have "hit bottom" indicates the existence of self-help groups (Gamblers Anonymous), which along the lines of self-help groups for other issues, come together to acknowledge that he lost control the situation, share the experience of impotence in the face of the game, proposing the withdrawal from the game within the group and compare the forms of deception and self-deception is still in place. There are therapy groups for compulsive gamblers, which unlike the self-help groups provide, and are led by psychotherapists and involving the family of the player in the therapeutic process. Frequently it happens that the family the gambler is affected by the negative impact of losses and looking for help while the player himself is still completely absorbed from following the loss (ie a desire to rebuild). An intervention that is concerned only to eliminate the symptom often favors the phenomena of "Migration and displacement (the player stops playing and, for example. Starts drinking, smoking or one hundred cigarettes a day, or go through red traffic lights not showed a good clinical outcome). The protective function of the symptom must always be kept in mind (sometimes drug use can prevent a psychotic breakdown or a serious act eteroaggressivo), and gambling addiction should be seen in relation to subjectivity Gamer, the structure of personality, affective history, relationships and significant phase of the life cycle. Ultimately
play, as we have seen, involves increased levels of serotonin, which means that it is a pleasurable activity, but where it disturbs the balance of the various dimensions of life (family, work, social) is easier than the individual soon encounters the game over.
