Might seem too generlaistic but I hardly ever find a psychologist speaking who makes any insightful take about society. They are too focused on individual units to understand the individual in relation to whole - society. I’d much rather listen to a sociologist.

I can’t even watch that shit. I end up feeling too depressed. I could watch liveleak for a whole day and feel better than watching those vids.

Maybe. Its hard for me to think about with out specific examples.

Good point

Good point

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
