Page 101 Animal Communication (exam compilation)

Animals can communicate with each other in different ways. Many animals use sound signals such as vervet monkeys. Vervet monkey's alarm calls seem to be predator-specific. Calls of birds announces an alarm and defend territory. Signlas that involve smell are used by ants, which leave chemical trails for nestmates to find food. Besides that, animals like dogs use visual signals to threaten or attack. Other ways to communicate is by using both vision and touch such as bees. Bees communicate through a series of movements, by touching and also feel the movements with their own antennae.

Meditation (exam compilation)

The passage above describes how meditation reduces stress. Meditation helps to boost one's immune system. Medication also helps to rewire one's brain to reduce stress and achieve a calmer, happier state. It also helps patients with chronic illness to control pain by accepting the pain rather than fight it. Medication also restores balance in patients suffering mental illness by helping them to focus on the present and accept it. Besides that, meditation also helps to train the mind. It also helps to reorient brain to allow a shift that increases satisfaction.

Psychotherapy

There are many specific techniques of therapy used by Freud. The 'glimpses of the unconscious' revealed during free association have hidden symbolic meaning that must be translated or interpreted to the patient by the psychoanalyst. By this, Freud believed that it would help the person consciously solve their problem. Besides, Freud used dream interpretation in much the same manner as free association. By asking patients to recall dreams, Freud believed he has obtained another 'window' on the unconscious. Resistance is also a technique used by Freud. Resistance is any form of opposition of the patient to the process by psychoanalysis.

(this is quite good….could be better with more paraphrasing. Nevertheless, the points are accurate)
