더운 여름 잘 나고 계신가요?

절기로는 오늘이 '입추' ~ 기분인지 모르겠지만 오늘 아침은 살짝 바람도 있는 것 같아요 .

길지 않은 여름방학이지만 건강하게 잘 보내시길 바라며 ^^

이번주 주제는 " talk therapy" 입니다. 우리나라말로는 보통 심리치료라고 하는데 talk therapy 라고 했을때는 그래도 접근이 쉬운 느낌인데 왠지 심리치료라고 하니 무겁운 느낌이 드네요. 그렇지만 예전에 비해 심리 상담이나 치료가 많이 우리의 삶과 가까워진 느낌은 있어요.

그만큼 스트레스가 많은 현대인의 생활때문이겠지요?

Do you feel very anxious or depressed sometimes?

What do you think is the most common psychological problem today?

It's depression.

The most common psychological problem affecting people throughout the world.

Talk therapy

Talk therapy is a treatment for psychological problems – which means problems of the mind.

Trained therapists work with you on ways to understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Who invented the first talk therapy?

Sigmund Freud, which is the right answer, so well done, Neil! Psychoanalysis was invented in the early 1890s by Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud. The patient lies on a couch and talks about their thoughts, feelings and dreams while the therapist listens. Psychoanalytic sessions typically last 50 minutes and take place 4 to 5 times a week.

Why is talking about our problems helpful?

I think it gives a shape to our problems.

It makes them seem clearer – and that's a first step in being able to manage them. Also, "a problem shared is a problem halved", as the saying goes.

There's also some scientific evidence that talk therapy can change the way we think and feel – by replacing negative thought patterns with positive ones.

Professor Brent Roberts from the University of Illinois
Seeing a therapist does result in marked changes in psychological functioning.

So people get less depressed and they get less anxious, and it seems to be regardless of what type of intervention is engaged in.

And that is… and that has been one of the more positive aspects of the therapy research that we've seen.

Medication (antidepressant)

Medication can also change the way we think and feel.

Some people take pills to treat depression.

But medication can have negative effects, for example it can make you feel sleepy during the daytime.

참고 ^^

오늘 스크립트에 나오는 그림을 보고 이것이 무슨뜻일까? 궁금해서 찾아보았어요.

'pull a rabbit out of a hat'

왼쪽그림은 모자에서 토끼를 꺼내는 모습이죠. 바로 이 문장이 그대로 느껴지는 사진이예요.

모자에서 토끼를 꺼내다는 무슨뜻일까요?

이 표현은 마술사들이 마술을 마술을 부리는 공연에서 유래된 말이라고합니다.

마술사들이 없던 물건을 마술을 통해 갑자기 어디선가 꺼내는 그 모습!

그때 자주 쓰이는 소품이 모자이고 없던 것이 생겨난 것에 주로 등장하는 것이 살아있는 동물 이었죠. 우린 주로 비둘기를 많이 보았는데 토끼도 많았다고 합니다.

pull something out of a hat or pull something out of a bag 등으로 변형해서 사용한다고 합니다.

그 의미는 마술과 같이 "예상치 못한 놀라게 하는 어떤 일을 하다. 갑자기 어떤것을 만들어내다, 꺼내다.." 등등 글의 문맥에 따라 의미는 확장됩니다.

if you 'pull something out of a hat' it means you produce something unexpectedly - by surprise - and solves a problem.

더운 여름 건강히 잘 보내세요~
