Our psychology needs a balanced and correct diet, just like our body.
The psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan underlines that mental health is just as important as physical health, and emphasizes that our psychology, like our body, needs a balanced and correct diet. Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan emphasized the importance of emotion management and said: “We have to keep love, which is our most important psychological resource, in a large pool and we have to be generous in love.” Tarhan also said that intellectual investments should be made to make life meaningful.
The founding rector of the University of Üsküdar, the psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said that before the 90s emotions and thoughts were shown as sources of psychology and after the 90s with the introduction of the concept of neuroscience into our lives, especially with brain studies, the effect of emotions and values on human behavior became examined.
Man is a psychic being
Man is not only a rational being, but also a psychological being, said Tarhan: “Like other living beings, he is not satisfied with eating, drinking and procreation on the primitive level. Eating, drinking, and procreation are human needs for survival. However, the human being is a being who thinks abstractly, conceptually and symbolically. Because of this property, humans have psychological resources at their disposal. These resources must also be managed and invested. Emotions and values need to be taken into account. What do we mean by emotional and cognitive investment? The word “cognitive” was introduced into Turkish as a psychological terminology. It didn’t go well with Turkish. In fact, the word that best fits this concept is mental investment. There is a mind above our brain. The mind is also connected to the quantum universe. Neuroscience has revealed this. “There is a p300 wave in the brain. It is not the brain that is decomposing ides, it is the holographic brain above the brain,” the argument goes. This is currently being investigated. ” called.
Psychology is summed up in 3 words: mind, brain, culture
Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan explains that people make decisions not only with their minds, but also with their emotions, emotions and cultural values: “Psychology is summed up in three words: mind, brain and culture. When these three concepts come together, man becomes man. It can also be called mind instead of mind. It’s called mind, brain, and culture. Man is the sum of these three.
Emotion management is the management of the chemical pharmacy in the brain.
Man is not just a feeling. It’s not just a thought. Our culture has united mind and heart. What is meant by the heart is emotion. It’s not the physical heart. The heart here comes from the Arabic word revolution. The heart is the organ that converts sound energy into electrical energy, converts, converts or converts thermal energy into electrical energy. Hence, the connection of the heart with our emotions and chemicals in the brain has been determined. Emotion management actually means managing the chemical pharmacy in our brain. Having a good command of a person’s psychology means having a good command of their brain chemistry. he said.
We’re gonna keep the pool of love big
The most important psychological resource is love, says Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: “There is a pool formula in resource management for investments. They keep the pool big. You will expand love, our most important psychological resource. We will be generous with love. Some are greedy for love. We need to express love as the language of emotions. Beloved language doesn’t necessarily mean “I love you,” we can express love in other ways. The important thing is to be sincere. “Called.
Intention is also a psychological resource.
“The eyes, the face, the heart must be the same. A great intention arises in the person who achieves this, ”said Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, “Intention is also a psychological resource. Goodwill is the magic word. There are studies on the “neurobiology of goodwill and intention”. Emotional mirror neurons in the brain have good intentions. It activates the areas in the other party’s brain associated with positive emotions and activates emotional mirror neurons in the brain, like the internet, and speaking, ”he said.
Reinforcing the positive aspect is essential
Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan pointed out the importance of expanding the resource management pool and then using it properly and wisely: “You have to give first, then you can manage. In education, teachers and parents will be generous with love. There is no need to show violence or scream when the child makes a mistake. You will give love to the child. What is real educational success? Reinforcing the positive is important; punishment is the exception. For academic and life success in education. To be successful, the child must love the class. To love the lesson, he must love the teacher. It’s not enough either. In order for the teacher to love the teacher, the teacher must love the student. If this love chain turns, the child will have success after a while ”.
It takes intellectual investment to make life meaningful
Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan explained that mental investment is necessary to make life meaningful: “It is important for a person to know himself, to learn to deal with his emotions, to manage emotions, thoughts and values as a resource. To achieve this, first invest emotionally and mentally. What is intellectual investment? You will make your mind wise. To do it wisely, it is necessary to add emotions to the mind. The synthesis of mind and heart is required. To do this, one has to acquire high moral values. By using our minds and hearts, we can increase our emotional and cognitive resources and investments. ”Gave advice.
