How much does a psychologist with a PhD make?

Asked by Wiki User

It depend on what kind of psychologist you are, if you are going and becoming a psychologist right out of university then in a month you would make $50,000 and that times 12 is $600,000 a year. If you are a little more experiences then in a month you would make 80,000 and that times 12 is 960,000 a year.

But if you wanted to become a more advanced psyschololgist you would then eventually become what is called a Clinical Psychologist you would earn obviously more. In a month you would make $10-$15,000 more than you would make as just a psychologist.

In a year if you made $960,00 (and you were going to make $10,000 more) In a (month) you would make $970,000. Then in a year you would make $11640,000. But (If you are going to make $15,000 more)In a (month) you would make $975,000. Then in a year you would make $11700,000.

Can being too angry kill you?

Yes.

I add: Hans Selye long ago discovered a condition called the General Adaptation Syndrome, which refers to death caused by total exhaustion of the body's energy resources when the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated constantly, as it was not intended by nature to be in continuous dominance over the body's functions. Anger causes the metabolism to speed up to about 300% its normal rate, the immune system and digestive systems to shut down, the blood pressure to rise, and the body's energy caches to be burned up. It is one of the human nervous system's greatest defenses against extreme physical danger, enabling our primitive ancestors to defend themselves against attacking predators - and each other - with great vigor and strength, but today, that massive mobilization of energy is rarely needed. Nonetheless, our ancient limbic system in the brain and sympathetic nervous system in the middle spine respond as though it were. Thus, angry people need to burn off the excess energy (preferably not in a wild brawl!) and then replace it. This means that vigorous exercise needs to be followed by an interval of rest and recuperation of those lost energies. If this does not happen, exhaustion and death can occur. In addition to this, some people have nervous system anomalies that cause their bodies to become severely over-stimulated very easily and must be treated with medications such as Beta-Blockers.

What are some strategies for managing anger?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1. Identify Your Feelings.

Start with your upsetting feelings. Identify those feelings. Use your recognition of those feelings as a STOP Sign! Upset feelings are a sign or signal that your self-talk (internal dialogue) is escalating your upset feelings.

2. Identify Your Thoughts.

Identify your upsetting thoughts or internal dialogue that are contributing to your anger about the situation or person. Question yourself and ask...

1.)"Why must I get my way?"

2.)"Why should others do what I want?"

3.) How would you answer those questions?

3. Reframe Your Thoughts.

Counteract your upsetting/angry thoughts with a positive self-message. Put the brakes on your feelings. You no longer have to react to your first impulse. Tell yourself,"Slow down, easy does it."

4. Clarify the Situation.

Take the time to clarify the situation for yourself. Ask yourself,"What is really going in this situation?" Then, you may acknowledge feeling disappointed or hurt by the person or with the situation. Being enraged is self-defeating and no longer an option.

5. Set Realistic Goals.

Ask yourself,"What alternative solution(s) can I use to resolve this situation?" Set more realistic goals for yourself in regard to the problem. Be specific and concrete. What can you do to change the situation?

6. Develop Options.

List the constructive options you have in order to reach your goals. Ask yourself,"What constructive actions can I take to reach my goals?"

7. Take Positive Action.

Choose a constructive option to reach your goal and act on it. The end result of the ABCD process is positive action on your part!

Can a midlife crisis make you schizophrenic?

User Avatar

Asked by SamMoyson

unlikely though possible.

Schizophrenia has genetic components and usually manifests in adolescence or early adulthood, not at mid-life (though it's possible).

See a physician but don't tell them what you THINK the problem is (they may take your diagnosis and then you're locked into a treatment regimen). Let them decide. Just focus on describing problems and symptoms.

If you are actually hearing voices telling you things, or seeing hallucinations, that could be schizoid. If you simply have "crazy" ideas, it could just be a form of psychosis (the good news is that you can recover from this).

More likely: Mid-life crises can certainly lead to "nervous breakdown" or a "psychotic break" under certain conditions.

In any case, following some of the advice below could help you immediately.

The first thing you need to do is an inventory of your life and situation.

Write down lists of the positive and negative things in your life, your strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing you, wants, needs, limiting factors. Try to put together a realistic picture of your life NOW and a realistic set of actions you will take to arrive at a new profile that is happier and healthier.

For some middle-aged folks, divorce and custody battles can play a huge role here- set aside the fight and be an amazingly kind and generous person here and you may find a whole new you and a whole new relationship.

Professional challenges and failures are a big one these days- very few people are getting quite what they imagined for themselves, professionally or financially. Remind yourself that the economy has changed the game on alot of us, and we are actually better off than younger people who cannot even get a start in their career these days. So many lawyers and Bachelor's degree holders serving coffee and working retail these days...

Secret key: a lowly job is better than no job at all. I am a nurse but while briefly unemployed I worked a simple job and focused on perfection/excellence in that job, which increased my self-esteem, filled the gap in work history, and gave me a GLOWING reference from that manager. A truly glowing reference from a retail manager is better than a halfhearted one from a CEO. Best of all, it got me out with people, being positive and living life.

In any case, it is a good time to remove stressors, perhaps move into an easier job, take a vacation that you've always wanted (Caribbean/Bahamas, Hawaii, somewhere without too much stress or crime- don't go see the pyramids or Peru this time).

You've got to decrease stress and increase natural happiness.

Decreasing stress: Yoga is fantasic both physically and mentally. and most classes accomodate beginners. A daily walk reduces many negative feelings and blasts away stress.

Stop drinking coffee and switch to decaf, tea, or no caffeine at all. Green Tea actually has in addition to caffeine a chemical that helps you relax at the same time and cancels out the jittery aspect of caffeine.

Increasing potential for happiness: Comedy, laughs are excellent medicine. you can watch standup comics on the internet. There are lists of heart-lifting and funny movies published online also. These can be very uplifting and empowering.

A church community can be a nice place to get away and be treated nicely by other people. even if you aren't sold on religion, you can try a more liberal church such as unitarian if you are more of a deist.

There are Buddhist, new age spirituality, and other options in many cities.

Helping other people by volunteering is a huge secret key to happiness. It increases self-esteem. Help the homeless (you won't get dirty or catch any diseases, most shelters are pretty clean) or volunteer for something non-political.

If you can't handle these things for yourself or set them up, that's OK. Look for a support group and somewhere you can go to ensure that you are not isolated from other people.

How does the body react to anger?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally what happens is that you get a rush of neurotransmitters to the anger part of the brain (medulla) which signals a response similar to the "fight or flight" response. You get a rush of adrenaline which prompts your body to respond to adverse stimuli. In many cases you feel a rush of heat, and perhaps agitation and loss of clear thought.

Asked by Wiki User

Here are some simple steps to deal with anger issues.

If you are angry at someone, follow these steps.

1.) Write an angry letter about how you really feel about that person, but don't send it, because it is allowed to be hurtful!

2.) Practice saying your polite complaint to the person like, "Please stop treating me that way, I don't like that." Or, maybe, "Why do you always say things about me that aren't fair? How would you feel if I did this to you?"

3.) If these things don't work, talk to your teacher. Or, if you are an adult, talk to a psychiatrist, therapist, OR if you are being abused, call the police.

Here are some steps for anger issues in general

1.) Punch a pillow.

2.) Ask people that have seen you get mad about something if your tantrum was necessary.

Why are people scared of gay people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Although many people have no issues with gay or bisexual people, this is not always the case.

People hate or dislike gays, lesbians, and bisexuals and/or gayness for a variety of reasons; some of these may be:

  • They are uncomfortable with or afraid of people who are different than them, whether they are gay, straight or bisexual.
  • They are gay themselves and trying to disguise their sexuality by being loudly anti-homosexual.
  • They are trying to affirm their (hetero)sexuality to those around them.
  • They believe that their religion prohibits homosexuality and/or that it is wrong for moral reasons.

Often those with prejudices got them from their parents or have absorbed them from their local environment (culture, neighborhood, circle of friends). Some of these just don't know any better. We must also make a distinction between a dislike of gayness and a dislike of gay people. You can hate cigarettes and tobacco use, for instance, without hating people who smoke, and thus the same principle applies here

Quite lieterally, the distrust of anyone or anything that is different is normal animal behavior. People refer to it as stranger danger, and as such it becomes quite acceptable. It is when that difference is identified that it becomes "wrong" or "right." The big problem here is that "wrong" and "right" are measurements from a moral ruler, and no two moral rulers are exactly the same.

While it is perfectly acceptable and justifiable to determin that a course of behavior is not acceptable for the individual as determined by that individual (homosexuality and homophobia in this instance), any outward expression or pressing of that determination onto others is not acceptable.

How does anger management help control aggression?

Asked by Wiki User

* Anger management is a skills base class that teaches participants how to change their thinking and behavior. Anger management is good because it helps participants learn essential skills for improving communication, managing stress, becoming more empathic and improving judgment and impulse control. Anger management is also helpful because it teaches participants better coping skills and ways of improving their "anger response". While many participants take anger management classes for a court order, others may take them for personal growth and self improvement. Anger management should not be viewed as punitive, but rather a helpful course in increasing skills. Ari Novick, Ph.D. AJ Novick Group, Inc. - Anger Management http://www.ajnovickgroup.com http://www.angerclassonline.com * Anger Management can be very successful, but it takes some training and cooperation from the individual. Anger Management gives you the tools to combate stress, taking more control of yourself and understanding other individuals opinions. === ===

How do you deal with anger management?

Asked by Chloe5557773218

Anger is a normal feeling and can be a positive emotion when it helps you work through issues or problems, whether that’s at work or at home.

“God does not protect the short-tempered people,” I read in a spiritual setting. Once upon a time, a monk sailed into the middle of a lake to contemplate. When he felt something hit his boat, he was deep in meditation. He became enraged and wondered why the other guy couldn't see him meditating. He made the decision to close his eyes and continue his meditation. Another bump occurred while he was meditating. He became enraged and fought by opening his eyes.

Is it OK to hit people when you're angry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is permissable by law to use only the amount of force necessary to defend yourself when you can reasonably fear you are in imminent danger of bodily injury or death from another. Reasonably means... it can't be your creative definition but one that a jury of your peers would agree with (i.e. a reasonable person). Imminent means: you are in danger RIGHT THIS SECOND... not an hour from now, or when someone gets home.

There are words and utterances the courts have ruled as "fighting words" that "are inherently likely to provoke a violent response from the audience," such as the phrase F*** You (see N.A.A.C.P. v. Clairborne Hardware Co., Miss., 458 U.S. 886, 102 S.Ct. 3409, 73 L.Ed.2d 1215 (1982)). "Words which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace, having direct tendency to cause acts of violence by the persons to whom, individually, remark is addressed. The test is what persons of common intelligence would understand to be words likely to cause an average addressee to fight." (City of Seattle v. Camby, 104 Wash.2d 49, 701 P.2d 499, 500.).

Why do a lot of gay people speak funny?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They don't speak funny, they just have a different tone in their voice. Not all gay people speak like that, but the ones who I know speak differently is because most gay men are around women most of the time, and women are most of their friends, so their voice naturally rises.

Why are gay people so fashionable?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A lot of gay people act this way because they are simply conforming with a stereotype that they have been brought up to belief. It is like saying rich people drive limousines. Since you've been drilled with this piece of fact, you want to buy a limousine when you become rich.

This is just an example of how society's stereotyping can cause an effect on the groups behaviour.

In our lifetime we will have a lot of people pushing our buttons. If this is happening very frequently it is better to confront the individual politely and let them know that your not pleased with what their doing. Not all situation is the same.
