Imo I would say that is spiritual bypassing. Because even if you live in a blissful state, let alone just access it, you would still have to work with your ego to untangle all the extreme features it has resorted in the face of life’s pressures.

The bolded therapies aren’t just about connecting with feelings and analysis. They are based around changing your attachment styles and actively letting go of traumatic reactions in your psyche

I’d recommend on looking into: 1. Attachment work - IFS therapy (See www.ifsbuddy.chat) - Ideal Parenting protocol (Search the subreddit for it) - Depth psychotherapies (ie gestalt, psychodynamic, Jung) - EMDR 2. Somatic work - Somatic experiencing - Trauma Release exercises - Massage - Yoga & Stretching If you have the time/ resources, I’d recommend doing one of both category. Edit: I saw you have limited finances so I’ve bolded what you can do for free.

Any stats to back that up?

Daddy? 🥵😈

I see. I think that could definitely be an area of value to explore for you imo. I think you it’s v important to work in resolving body tension that accumulates in relation to trauma.

@Tristan12 do you do or have you done any bodywork? Ie trauma release exercises and massage

I like when Leo posts a blog on a new topic, because then I can finally have an opinion on that topic

I’d look into Trauma release exercises, ifs therapy and concentration meditations

@Flowerfaeiry I have similar thinking. It’s what draws me to IFS therapy this most. What else really is there of value in this life?

Well you can do IFS therapy on yourself. Another way is to label your feelings and then validate them ie say to yourself “I am feeling sad and that is okay” In terms of dealing with your sister I suppose it depends on the context of the conversation. Though you’re probably dealing with an immature and toxic person if they are calling you trash. Reason being that immature and toxic people will tend to shame you instead of guilt you. In that they communicate something wrong with your inherent nature, ie YOU are trash. Compared with a guilting approach which insinuates something wrong with a behaviour, ie your behaviour was trash.

I think you underestimate severe mental Illness caused by trauma

@soos_mite_ah was just in a dumbass mood and fucking around lmao

I have done life purpose course and realised this is my ultimate vision for my life 🎉. Anyone else managed to become a stay-at-home child-free single dad as well? Or have any advice on how to make this vision work?

@Finax I don’t know too much about his background and haven’t watched your linked video. But from what I’ve seen of him he just seems like someone who read a culture war handbooks and started spitting of right wing talking points. He seems pretty inauthentic to me. Like compare to someone like Patrick Bet David who I think is actually sincere in his political beliefs, or Dennis Prager.

Interpersonal theory of suicide says suicide is the result of feeling like burden plus also a sense of thwarted belongingness.

@Ryan M I’d watch moral foundations of politics lecture series by Ian Shapiro. Haven’t watched it myself but have watched another lecture series by him. He’s a Yale political lecturer. He’s a great speaker, and also from seeing the course content of the moral foundations series it seems great for beginners.

And start shouting that your gonna eat Zelensky’s butt

I just like that it puts everything into an impersonal perspective. Like a trump supporter is just where he is at.

@kyle barnett There’s no failure only feedback my guy imo. You made a commendable change in your life and now understand what result that brings in your life. Before you didn’t know that and now you do. Thats very useful information. The way you are is the way you are. You gotta work with yourself rather than fight it. What do you need for you to do x productive action? Experiment with various things and see what leads to you consistently doing that thing. Key imo is to work on not beating yourself up for not doing that certain thing. But just see it as a process of trial & error and experimentation until you end up finding what gets you to do that thing consistently. All best bro

We’re finally free to express ourselves whilst still retaining our respect and dignity of others.

@MarkKol Imo they resonate well because they are very good at marketing. And from their marketing skills they know how to emotionally impact you. I’m not too in the know when it comes to specific marketing principles but I’d argue that that is what is happening here. Some of their content has resonated with me too in the past. But just because something resonates strongly doesn’t mean that that thing is a useful thing to bring into your life imo. Otherwise everyone who joins a cult would be having fulfilling lives. Anyhow, all best to you mate 👍. Interesting topic.

When dealing with a suicidal person I think it’s useful to try and guide them towards seeing a trauma therapist. A therapist who works with modalities like EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, somatic experiencing, hakomi. I also think psychodynamic and gestalt therapists can be useful. But importantly puts on their psych profile that they work with things like CPTSD. ———- I think there are also resources online (you can Google), regarding how to more effectively dialogue with people who express suicidal attitudes. ——- Finally, you are a good guy mate and your friend reaching out to you is a sign of that. But don’t feel you need to pressure yourself to be the one person to lead him out of the darkness. A trained expert is what he needs. All the best mate 👍
