Phos's mind

Fully open ports

• We all understand the feeling of the others by our mirror neurons, when we feel the same feeling in the moment and react to it, but this perception and motor neuron reaction is largely suppressed by our inhibitory circuits. Of course we could not suppress our feeling completely. So with a little attention on people's faces, you can do mind reading from their face expression. unwanted and involuntary reactions.
• In Phos, these reactions are completely naked and many, that's why you, as a therapist, immediately see all your emotions and feelings in your patient. This gives you a good feeling because you can guess his function
• On the contrary, when the Defense / Inhibition mechanisms become complex and unpredictable, you feel that the person is deep and his reactions are unpredictable.
• Phosphorus Sympathy is exactly the feeling of pain that the speaker expresses.

  Mind - SYMPATHETIC, compassionate - felt same pain his brother complained of Lyss

Emotional

DULLNESS, understands questions only after repetition	Phosphorus, comes under the class of those people whose understanding is slow and it takes them longer time than others to reach the depth of the things.

ANXIETY, friends at home about ANXIETY others, for DELUSIONS obscene, action of which she had not been guilty, accuses herself DELUSIONS, noble, being	Phosphorus is full of contradictions. On the one side, is her indifference and on the other the nobleness of the mind. She tries to prove by her actions that she is a noble person. Says, “ Dr. please hurry up. It is Sunday today. I must reach home at the earliest. Who knows, when someone knocks at your door? It is bad not to be available”. Continue

DICTATORIAL Dictatorial:- command talking with the air of FEAR, men, dread, f. of MILDNESS	One of the biggest contrast is to be found in the style of her talking which is permanent, and unalterable.
