Can You Eat Yourself Happy?
The foods at the bottom are the ones to concentrate on. This is a lot like the Mediterranean diet, heavy on veggies, with some seafood to add healthy omega-3 oils to your diet.
Along with the pyramid, here are some more tips to grow a healthy set of gut microbes.
• Stop eating sugar. Sugary foods feed pathogenic bacteria. Sugar is added to so many processed foods, it can be hard to escape. So check those labels. Better yet, cook your own food so you know what you're eating.
• Eat high-fiber veggies. These include foods like asparagus, leeks, artichokes, and garlic. The fiber in these foods will pass through your small intestines intact and make it to the colon to feed your healthy microbes. Grains are great if they are whole grains, and you can tolerate them. But refined grains are not much better than sugar.
• Eat fermented foods. This is a great way to add some good bacteria to your diet. Most of these microbes will not stick around in your gut, but they will alter the environment for the better as they pass through. That means you should make this a daily routine. Excellent choices: yogurt, kefir, kombucha, and kraut.
• Eat some fish. Omega-3 oils, found in fish like salmon, reduce inflammation and keep your body from going overboard and attacking your own tissues. If you're a vegetarian or vegan, look to foods like walnuts to get your omega-3.
• Try prebiotics. If you can't get enough fiber from veggies, try topping off with prebiotic supplements. These are complex sugars called oligosaccharides (OS) in various flavors like GOS, FOS, XOS, and others. For mood, GOS has shown the best results. Also in this group is resistant starch. You can convert ordinary carbs to resistant starch by cooling them. Thus, cold potato salad is healthier for you than a hot potato.

“Perhaps the only thing that can be confidently said about treating psychosis is that there has to be a fit between the patient’s metaphor for the illness and the method used. For Frieda and Joanne, the treatment was a quest, a search for the answer to a tangled problem that could be revealed only by collaborative work. For Mary Barnes, who regressed almost to the point of infancy because she was convinced she had to “go down and come back up again,” living in Kingsley Hall, a Laingian therapeutic community, was the only way to get better. As Greenberg once remarked, “Her metaphor was not mine. But it worked for her. For other people, the metaphor is that it’s chemical, and therefore you’re absolved… You don’t have to have any part in the process. … Some people say, ‘I don’t want to weave my own rope, I want it done for me. I want doctors to do it for me the way they did my appendix and my hernia.’ “
For Carol North, kidney dialysis “removed some unidentified substance from the blood, presumably a chemical responsible for producing schizofrenic symptoms.” North and her physician had a very specific image of what this toxic substance was and used a filter with tiny pores “because the molecules that are thought to cause schizophrenia are much smaller than those in kidney failure.” Psychologist Norman Endler, whose psychotic depression felt unconnected to any life event, insisted that ECT was the only effective method. For Marie Cardinal, whose uncontrollable menstrual bleeding and hallucinations reflected a desperate struggle for “the words to say it,” classical psychoanalysis was what worked. Paula Perlstein repeatedly sought psychosurgery because “cutting the medial tracts between the portions of the frontal lobe and the thalamus” was the “miracle” that relieved her suffering.
It may well be, as has long been suggested, that there are many different kinds of schizophrenia or manic depression, each with a different cause, and differences in patient response reflect this variability. But since no one has ever come up with a reliable way of telling which patient is likely to respond to which treatment, such a claim has no practical import. Thousands of research studies and decades of work can still be summarized in one phrase: no treatment works for everybody, and every treatment works for some.”

Loneliness
"Struggling to articulate the experience of her psychotic patients — "the history of the lonely ones" — Frieda was painfully aware of the obstacles that faced her: "People who are in the grip of severe degrees of loneliness cannot talk about it; and people who have at some time in the past had such an experience can seldom do so either, for it is so frightening and uncanny in character that they try to dissociate the memory of what it was like, and even the fear of it." Psychiatrists, she admitted, "must resign themselves to describing [loneliness] in terms of peoples defenses against it," like physicists portraying invisible particles in terms of the residual trace of their movements. Actually, Frieda noted, it was worse than this: defenses didn't appear until the "all-engulfing intensity" of the feeling decreased; the "naked horror" of real loneliness, "beyond anxiety and tension," made even defenses "seem out of reach."
Faced with the irony of trying to write about something that, by her own admission, couldn't be described, Frieda did the best she could, relying on accounts by polar explorers, shipwrecked sailors, inmates in solitary confinement, and subjects in sensory deprivation experiments. In each of these situations, she noted, psychotic disintegration occurred if relationships weren't reinstated.
(Frieda argued that many of the phenomena categorized as "anxiety" (e.g., separation anxiety) were better described as loneliness or the fear of it. She saw psychiatrists as being so overwhelmingly focused on anxiety as to neglect the systematic study of the important emotional states, including grief, hope, pain, and envy, as well as the loneliness to which her own attention was drawn)."

Loneliness
"To Heinz Kohut's classic question, "How does analysis cure?" Frieda had a clear answer: the relationship with the therapist heals the loneliness that lies at the root of all mental illness. A person can't act like others if he feels completely isolated. [...] The loneliness of mental illness, Frieda emphasized, is nothing like the solitude people seek at the ocean or to do creative work. It is a state of extraordinary anguish in which a person ceases to be able to imagine, much less experience, anyone else being able to enter his experience.
[...] Frieda called loneliness "one of the least satisfactorily conceptualized psychological phenomena" and noted that it wasn't even mentioned in most psychiatric textbooks (a fact she found astonishing). Among the few analysts to write anything on the topic was Melanie Klein, and like Frieda, she had done this work late in life. Klein emphasized the unsatisfied longing for "an understanding without words," rooted in the earliest relationship with the mother. Frieda stressed the "incommunicable, isolated core — the corollary to our need for interpersonal intimacy."

Frieda
"Every time Frieda rotated closer to Klara [mother], she would occupy a bit more of the central sphere. When their combined intensity threatened to overwhelm Adolf [father] completely, Frieda would float over in his direction and temporarily balance things. Her alliances with her father, although infrequent, provided an essential counterweight to Klara's power, creating a degree of harmony in the family that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. In later life, Frieda's colleagues would wonder how she managed to be on everyone's side and get what she wanted at the same time. They didn't understand that having mastered the art of wrapping her father around her little finger while embracing her mother with the other hand, Frieda could endear herself to people at cross purposes without even noticing what she was doing. No one in her family had the slightest idea that this would prove ideal training for a psychiatrist "
Gail A. Hornstein, To Redeem One Person is to Redeem the World [pag 15]
of patience
"For Frieda, treatment of mental illness was like physical therapy after stroke: a painstaking exercise in hope. Improvement was unpredictable, and was often followed by relapse or deterioration. Recovery, to the extent it was present, proceeded at an agonisingly slow pace. It was natural for the doctor to have periods of discouragement, even real despair, but he couldn't afford to give up, no matter how many setbacks there were. A patient had to have at least one person who could imagine the possibility of his getting well. Frieda thought the reason most psychiatrists failed at their work wasn't because their methods were ineffective, but because they gave up too soon."

In search of a framework of reference
"All these brilliant people [...] felt that they were trapped by the current narratives around giftedness and high intelligence. Some of them said, 'you know, I can't even talk about myself because the minute I use these words people have a preconceived notion and I can't bust my way out '"

Objectos transicionais e música. Removing the Suzuki tapes. When practicing becomes a narrative.
Os objectos transicionais e a aprendizagem musical.
Da importância da separação (insegurança) no processo da criatividade e do impulso para explorar territórios desconhecidos (D. W. Winnicott), tendo sempre, no horizonte, a certeza de que é sempre possível atingir uma perfeição. Ao percorrer esse, árduo, caminho desenvolve-se a expressão.
"Musically we need simply observe that believing in correctness in technique breeds expression. In music, this passage occurs when standards modulate from physical events like playing with a good tone to more aesthetic measures of, for instance, a well-shaped phrase. Of course, spontaneous discoveries and happy accident inform what a musical piece should sound like. Still the composer and the performer must have a criterion to make sense of happy accidents, to select some as happier than others. In developing technique, we resolve transitional objects into definitions, and we make decisions based on such definitions. "
