Mental Distortions
Larissa Brazier, CH

Wouldnt it be nice to start every day of the conference taking

part in a guided hypnosis session? Enhance your learning in
the seminars and workshops by accepting suggestions for positive experiences. Start the day with vibrant energy. Experiential

Social media has many benefits to a lot of people, however it

can effect us all in negative ways as well. Often times, the
viewing of this material can cause someone to want the lives of
other people they do not even know, which may manifest into
feelings of sadness and a lack of joy. Although Social Media
was created to bring us closer together, it has in fact lessened
communication and created jealousy in many areas.
Researchers from the University of Michigan assessed
Facebook usage and found that the more people that used it,
the more negativity they experienced concerning their day-today activities; as well as over time, incurring higher levels of
dissatisfaction with their life overall.
