Conflict is on the menu tonight at the cafe La Chope.This evening,as on every Thursday night,psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes,coffee drinking and the “talking cure”.Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings.It isn’t always easy.The customers—some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2(plus drinks) per session—are quick to intellectualize(高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect.“You are forbidden to say‘one feels,’or‘people think’,”Lehanne told them.“Say‘I think,’‘Think me’.”

A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed?It couldn’t seem more un-French.But Lehanne’s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself:It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes.Over the years,Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle—longer working hours,a fast-food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home.Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation.Cafes focused around psychology,history,and engineering are catching on,filling tables well into the evening.

The city’s “psychology cafes”,which offer great comfort,are among the most popular places.Middle-aged homemakers,retirees,and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love,anger,and dreams with a psychologist.And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel.“There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,”says Maurice Frisch,a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church.“People have few real friends.And they need to open up.”Lehanne says she’d like to see psychology cafes all over France.“If people had normal lives,these cafes wouldn’t exist,”she says.“If life weren’t a battle,people wouldn’t need a special place just to speak.”But then,it wouldn’t be France.

Smartphones really are addictive and the more you use one,the worse it gets.A new study has revealed.Psychology lecturer,Dr Zaheer Hussain,who conducted the research,found that the more you use a smartphone,the higher your risk of becoming addicted.

He explained that higher scores of narcissism—defined as excessive (过度的) interest or admiration of oneself and one’s physical appearance—is the most common and obvious sign of the addiction.

An obsession(痴迷) with taking selfies and posting them on social media is one key indication.

The study found that 13 percent of 256 participants were addicts.The average age of those who took part in the online survey was 29.

As a result,the researchers say they believe it should be made compulsory that anyone selling smartphones should warn customers of their potentially addictive properties.

Dr Hussain said:“The study informs us about smartphone overuse and the impact on psychological well-being.We now use smartphones on a daily basis and for various tasks so being aware of the psychological effects is very important.There are various smartphone apps such as Facebook,Twitter,Instagram and Candy Crush,as well as Skype and email that make smartphone use psychologically more attractive and can lead to addiction.”

The study also revealed the average user spent 3 to 6 hours per day on the device,and when the participants were asked if they used their phone in banned areas.35 percent answered yes.

Relationships were also noted in the research,despite 46.8 percent of participants speaking positively of improved social relations.Nearly a quarter admitted their smartphones create communication issues within “real life”.

Professor James Elander,Head of the Centre for Psychological Research at the University of Derby,said:“This study is a very timely one with much potential impact,and the findings show that users should be more aware of how they are using their smartphones and of the potential risks of excessive use.”

Building Trust in a Relationship Again

Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.　36　Trust is a risk.But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

Unfortunately,we’ve all been victims of betrayal.Whether we’ve been stolen from,lied to,misled,or cheated on,there are different levels of losing trust.Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore.　37　 It’s understandable,but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again,we have some steps you can take to get you there.

●　38　Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.

●　39　If you’ve been betrayed,you are the victim of your circumstance.But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”.At some point in all of our lives,we’ll have our trust tested or violated.

●You didn’t lose “everything”.Once trust is lost,what is left?Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle,look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.　40　Instead,it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

A.Learn to really trust yourself.

B.It is putting confidence in someone.

C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

D.Remember that you can expect the best in return.

E.They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.

F.This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.

G.Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.
