BREAKING!: Wizards of the Coast to classify Tylenol as performance enhancing drug.

OOOOOOOO

I can’t with these people 😅😑

That we have 😒
I hope this new generation of therapists, like you and I, can do what we can to bring it back.

Being With vs Doing To

It’s created a fantasy of what therapy “should be” versus what it actually is.

CBT also seems to subside the therapist’s fear of not “doing enough” to the client. Teach a few skills and you can pat yourself on the back for a job well done. CBT+Managed Care has diluted psychotherapy down from an exploratory process of understanding a client’s psychology into “fixing” them.

Hoping for that too!

I’m about 4-6 cxs away from being able to quit my second job 😅

I used to think to myself 10+ years ago that the US would have to get a lot worse before it got better. That was a much easier pill to swallow as a hypothetical than as a reality.

We’re cooked.

I think the only thing that will save us is a nationwide general strike.

😂😂😂

No they clarified later in the thread it was 15 times in 18 months due to client not rescheduling for up to 6 weeks at a time.

It’s baffling how many therapists think healing can happen overnight or can’t conceive that some people don’t get better

Found the thread. They’ve seen this person 15 times in 18 months…..

Wtf are they teaching clinicians in some of these schools? 😑

Oooooooo!

some “bottom up” change is effective for a system or person that orients too strongly to “top-down” implementation

#health means “do both”
#growth expands capacity

Currently working on a psychoanalytic/somatic conceptualization of religious trauma and my brain keeps going off into a million different branches of thought. This is gonna be tough to whittle down 😅

Lmao amazing! 😂🙌🏼

Project Hail Mairy

The Expanse (full series and novellas)

The Captive’s War (first book and novella)

I agree with that 100%. “Too much too soon” is apropos here. That period is unique to our developmental understanding of self and other. We need an updated lexicon for talking about trauma presentations that allows for these nuanced differences

…developmental period out a bit further as well as highlight that repeated traumas, whether of the same kind or varied, does create a unique presentation of its own.

This reminds of the introjective/anaclitic split of “I’m bad” vs “I’m alone” except in this case it would be “I’m bad” vs “You’re bad”.

I do agree though that Herman is speaking to developmental trauma when she speaks on complex trauma though I, personally, would conceptually extend that…

LMAO perfect reaction

I had the same thoughts. The entire framing of the questionnaire and the wording of the questions themselves opposes the entire concept of personality organization

Fantastic critique, Alejandra! Question #14 made me audibly LOL. How’d I know Ruffalo would somehow have a question worded this way? 😅😑

It’s because the DSM is a highly objectified, categorical diagnostic system wherein autism best fits the Developmental Disorders category because the DSM completely fails in capturing the complexity of the subjective experience of being human whether that’s autism, anxiety, depression, etc

I don’t know what that means but I’m intrigued! 😅

How do you like the Remarkable? A few clinicians at my office use them and I’m realllllly considering one
