Almost right. The entire thing leads up to the climax where Teal Swan is unveiled to actually be Ellen Degeneres

I know its annoying, but you really gotta watch the doc

Nice one dude Too right bro lmao

If you like sports, sports teams could be a good start. Theatre groups could be another. Then invite them to places you want to go to.

?

agreed dude. Be curious to hear your thoughts on the other episodes too

I like to provide a running commentary

You are the one you've been waiting for, by Schwartz, is a useful book

You're critiquing his critique.

When the private investigator talks about what she think is going to happen to her report, in the final episode, it had me creasing ?. Funny lady ? That alone makes the docuseries worth watching rofl

@StarStruck Not one that I can share on the forum. If you typed in lookmovie2 on google, you may choose to click the link. However, I'm not saying you should.

Jesus christ, midway through episode 4 now. You guys need to give this doc a watch. Its damning stuff.

Bruh, episode 3 of the documentary series is fucked. Teal looks really toxic. And its the sort of stuff that is bad regardless of context.

Tampons flying around? Lmao

Out of curioisty, what other things would that have entailed? I.e. actualized retreats

Ye. People do not uncommonly blame psychotherapists if someone kills themselves while engaged in therapy tho. I think its a bit like how people used to blame natural disasters on god punishing immoral actions of the people. The idea of someone's fault being the cause gives people a sense of control/ certainty, which is counter-intuitvely reassuring, imo.

Have just watched the first episode of the doc. Seems quite well done in terms of filming, and was quite inspired by parts of it. I found her response to her student voicing the possibility of disagreement to be boundary violating, unhealthy and innapropriate. However, apart from that it all seemed pretty great stuff. The stuff surrounding the episodes end about the dangers of her teaching seemed misguided. Strawmanning her idea of the suicide as a reset button by implying she was encouraging suicide was off the mark, I've seen that video and understand she isn't encouraging it, at least to my mind. The folks blaming her partly for their daughter's suicide can't really be said either way. It could well be the case that the parents are deflecting blame from themselves, or that teal's teaching actually did cause suicide. Further, stuff surrounding her not being licensed, while I get the view point its coming from, is more of a paradigmatic issue. She's into alternative healing, and also a form of healing she herself has devised, so certification and licensing is a lot less likely. Also, critiques of the actual content of her healing are standard sorts of things than all forms of therapies really get critiqued with. For example, psychodynamic therapy may be critiqued as dangerous for not first exploring nonverbal forms of therapeutic release before engaging in talk therapy. Plus, there were some points where she was simply being assertive. I.e. who gets to live with her. Thing is things like that will no doubt rub people up the wrong way, as assertiveness is often something vilified by people in society, even though its healthy. Overall, aside from the one incident, I actually was quite fond and inspired by portrayed Teal.

Could read Internal family systems Therapy, guildford therapy 2nd edition, by Schwartz. There is a section in there regarding the mind and it relation to medical ailments

@MsNobody If you're looking for psychedelic like states via breathing, then holotropic breathing might work out for you. However, I don't think it will be of the same depth.

Here's what you do: Raise your arm up in front of you Open your hand, so your palm is facing them Shake your hand side-to-side like a windscreen wiper And say, 'Adios ex-amigos'

Ye if I came across actualized.org, w/o knowing about enlightenment, and watched Leo's live awakening video where he keeps smiling and saying how he's realized he's god, I'd deffo think he's a narcissist ?.

Teal swan Business meetings be like: https://youtu.be/xBWmkwaTQ0k?t=85

Lmao ye she's absolutely full of it. I used to watch her vids a lot too. Literally just watch this scene from the timestamp: https://youtu.be/N486N0EJfd0?t=496 Teal's main defence seems to be that it was all a matter of a lack of context. The behaviour elicited in that scene by her is inappropriate and unhealthy no matter the context, from someone in her position.

@zurew Gotcha

What are the basic claims made in the doc?
