Bev Aisbett's approach is aimed towards educating clients about the nature of their anxiety and empowering them to find their own inner resources which will enable them to build resilience and handle stressful situations with greater autonomy and confidence.

​

Recently being Diagnosed with Bladder Cancer in Mid December 2016, the empowerment of Bev Aisbett's Resources and Studying Coping Skills involving Extraterrestrial over the years came to my need in the most opportunistic Moment when I needed them most to cope with the Tumultuous Trajectory of having to deal with a Prostatectomy and Bladder Cancer Removal and Reconstruction Process.

​

To put my Extraterrestrial Affirmations into perspective, they became Valuable Mental Strategic Asset when I was recently diagnosed with Bladder Cancer in Mid December 2016. Helping me to untangle the Knot of Anxiety, so to speak, that is generally associated with the operational Trauma of having to undergo a major Prostatectomy, Bladder Removal & Bladder Reconstructive Therapy. A Valuable Platform Coping Skill.

​

This Vital Element of Psychological Understanding was an important Platform to initiate the Coping Skills of Psychological Well Being that stopped me from plummeting into the depths of Fear and Uncertainty that was associated with the Tumultuous Trajectory of Bladder Cancer.

​

To study the factors related to extraterrestrial beliefs, Psychologist Viren Swami of the University of Westminster and Malaysia University teamed up with University of Vienna psychologists Jacob Pietschnig, Stefan Stieger, and Martin Voracek (Swami et al., 2011).

 

They began by using a test designed in an earlier study by Swami and collaborators (2009) called the Extraterrestrial Beliefs Scale (EBS). The 37 items on the EBS  fall into 3 sub-tests that measure general beliefs about extraterrestrial life, attitudes toward the importance of scientific research on the topic, and beliefs in alien visitation, including beliefs that governments are participating in cover-ups to mask the evidence of alien visitation.

 

  Once they established the scale’s psychological properties, asking for participation from 560 British and Austrian adults, Swami and his collaborators (2011) were ready to see how its scores related to personality in a new sample of over 430 European adults. 

​

Swami and his collaborators were most interested in the items on the EBS that measure beliefs in alien visitation and cover-ups. They expected that people with the strongest beliefs in visitation and government cover-ups would also be most likely to be highly superstitious. 

 

Using a test called the “Australian Sheep-Goat Scale,” the researchers assessed beliefs in paranormal activities and experiences such as magical thinking, extrasensory perception, psychokinesis (the ability to move objects by thinking), and belief in the afterlife. The reason the scale has this metaphorical name is that it separates “sheep” (those who believe in paranormal activity) from “goats” (the skeptics). It would make sense that people who believe in alien visitation and coverups might also hold the “sheeplike” beliefs in alien visitation.
