Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Bring the paper to a neutral location. Hold a piece of flash paper up with forceps or tongs. Light the flash paper on fire.

Answer: When you light the paper on fire, you want to be in a safe environment with no flammable objects around. This could be a laboratory or a neutral environment like on the pavement of your driveway. Bring the papers that you dried, matches, and a flame-proof container like a baking tray or measuring cup, as well as a fire extinguisher. First make sure that the flash paper is completely dry because the trick won't work if it is still partially wet. When you have checked that it's dry, use a pair of heatproof tongs or forceps to hold up the piece of flash paper over the flame-proof container. Light the match, then hold it up to the flash paper. You will see that the paper immediately catches fire, then starts to quickly burn down without producing any ash or residue! After you finish playing with your flash paper, put any additional pieces of paper in a safe location like a drawer or envelope, as they are extremely flammable!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Test the job market. Put out applications. Talk it over. Consider additional costs. Secure future employment.

Answer: So you are looking to move on. However, you need to know what you are moving on to. You need to know that quitting your current job is a prudent move by looking into other available positions. Do an internet search or look through the local want ads to determine if there is a demand for someone with your particular abilities and skill set. Try looking at job websites like Monster.com, Indeed.com, or Simplyhired.com to see what sorts of alternative employment you can find. These sites offer a wide variety of jobs that are searchable by job type, pay grade, and state, city or region. Be sure to account for current living arrangements. If you are unable to move to a different area of the country, your job opportunities may be much more limited than someone who can pick up and move at any time. Be sure that you consider bonuses, insurance packages and other supplemental benefits when comparing your current position to potential employment opportunities. Try applying to a few jobs that you feel might be a good fit for you. You will need to gauge how marketable or desirable you are to potential employers in order to leverage the best contract you can from the available job pool. Be sure to update your resume, including any and all accomplishments from your current job. It is also wise to put together a template for a cover letter. Cover letters will have to change slightly for different positions or job postings. It can be helpful to highlight the areas that will be subject to change on your template. If there are other people who rely on you, or other people who have a vested interest in your income (wives, husbands, children, etc.), you need to discuss the possibility of quitting your current job and taking up a new position with them. This is a particularly important step if you are planning to move to a new location for a new job. You may also wish to speak with someone who has experience changing jobs or careers to get some further insight on the process. A parent or older colleague whom you trust could be a good choice. Make sure you keep any and all plans for leaving your current job among people you trust. It is not wise to discuss your future job plans with co-workers until after you have informed your current employer about ending your tenure with the company. Leaving your old job for your new one may not be "free". Many people incur costs as a result of switching jobs. First, you may be left without an income for a short period of time. Secondly, you may need to purchase a new wardrobe or, if necessary for your job, equipment or tools. You will need to plan for issues like this in advance. If you plan on being unemployed between your two jobs, make sure you have enough money in your savings account to cover this period of unemployment. If you live paycheck to paycheck, you may need to secure a loan to get you through a period of temporary unemployment. If you plan on going into business for yourself, build a foundation for that business while you are still employed and earning a regular paycheck. If you are moving to another place of employment, make sure you have a solid offer in hand before turning in a resignation letter to your current employer. Never leave your current position based on a theoretical or verbal offer. You never know what can happen and you don't want to be left jobless. Be clear with potential employers about your current position and responsibilities. You will want to leave enough time between quitting your old job and starting your new one to tie up any loose ends with your old position. Future employers should appreciate that you are considerate enough to make sure you leave your old job on good terms.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Picture a part of the spoiler that you want to forget. Imagine that you have set the mental photograph on fire. Repeat the ritual regularly.

Answer: A ritual release is a mental exercise that can help you forget a memory. To begin the exercise, transform a scene from the spoiler into a detailed mental snapshot. It could be an old-timey black-and-white photograph, or a more recent color printout. Either way, make sure the mental photograph is a three-dimensional object in your mind. Start by picturing the edges of the photo curling up and turning brown. Watch as the fire burns through the mental image until the entire photograph has finally turned to ash and crumbled away. A ritual release can also be conducted using another mental image in place of the imaginary photograph. For example, you could imagine the spoiler as a car sinking into a lake or as an ice cube slowly melting away in the sun. The memory of the spoiler may not disappear immediately. If so, repeat the mental exercise daily until the details begin to fade away. It may take about a month for the process to take hold. This mental exercise may not work for everyone since old memories are never completely erased.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try psychotherapy. Talk to your doctor about graduated exposure therapy. Work with a close friend or family member during graduated exposure therapy. Join the International Paruresis Association.

Answer:
If you are starting to experience other health issues due to your "bashful bladder" or paruresis, such as constipation and abdominal pain, you may want to talk to a professional therapist about your disorder. Look for a therapist who is aware of paruresis and has worked with individuals suffering from paruresis before. Your family doctor may be able to give your a recommendation for a therapist who treats individuals with paruresis. You will likely have to attend weekly one on one therapy sessions or group therapy sessions, where you may talk about your anxiety and fears associated with using public washrooms. You may also learn techniques to cope with your disorder. Remember that holding in your urine for too long can cause medical problems like urinary tract infections. It is a good idea to get help before serious problems arise. Graduated exposure therapy is a step-by-step program that has participants try to pee more and more in difficult, public places. Around eight out of 10 people with paruresis are successfully treated with graduated exposure therapy. You can get a referral for a behavioral specialist who does graduated exposure therapy through a psychologist and a therapist. To do graduated exposure therapy, you will make a list ranking peeing locations that are the easiest for you to use to the most difficult for you to use. For example, your bathroom at home may be easiest and a public washroom at work may be more difficult. You will then start by trying to use the washroom in the easiest locations and work your way to the more difficult locations. You should do graduated exposure therapy three to four times a week for the best results and drink lots of fluids before each session. Participants usually notice results after 12 weeks. As part of the process of graduated exposure therapy, you will need to enlist a "pee partner", who will support you and stand close to you so you feel comfortable peeing or going to the bathroom. This could be a close friend or a family member. Your "pee partner" will stand close to you as you pee for a few seconds and then stop. He may then move a little closer as you go to the toilet again, pee for a few seconds and then stop. The idea is to keep practicing peeing with your pee partner as he gets closer and closer to the toilet. You may then gradually start to make noise while peeing to try to get more comfortable using the bathroom, such as splashes. Once you are fine peeing at home, you and your pee partner may move to a quiet public restroom. Your "pee partner" may stand outside the toilet door or behind you at the urinal while you pee. You will work with your "pee partner" to go down your list of locations until you can successfully go to the bathroom in a loud and crowded washroom. The IPA is a non-profit organization that helps to educate the public about paruresis and shares information about effective treatments for paruresis. The IPA holds weekend workshops for individuals struggling with paruresis. You can also get a referral to a cognitive-behavioral therapist who can assist you with treating your paruresis. You can access the sign up form for IPA on their website.
