Perhaps the most disturbing cultural trend I have seen in the last 5 years is the destruction of childhood innocence in an attempt to validate adults.

People are being sold "feel better quick" schemes via AI and digital codependency presented as a win by insurance companies that don't want to pay for actual therapy.

What is driving the decline in quality psychotherapy?. 👇🏻

Considering how much I have ranted about the decline in customer service in the last few years, I have to concur that Chick-fil-A always has amazing customer service. In 20 years of eating there, I have never had a bad experience or incorrect order. They have gone above and.

I used to worry that I may be the only person who likes slightly stale Oreos. Then, I got over myself and just started leaving a package open so they would become the soft, chocolatey vanilla perfection they were always meant to be.

Parasocial relationships can be toxic. They can also be beneficial. They have existed since at least the Beatles and have continued to this moment as we all are bombarded with narratives around the engagement of Taylor Swift. There are lessons to be learned through an exploration

If your therapist is more concerned about how you (or anyone else) will perceive them than what you need, you aren't receiving therapy. You are in a codependent relationship with your therapist and you are serving them in that moment.

Do you need warmth, confrontation, acknowledgement of the pattern itself? It all depends on you specifically. You may need to lean into the moment. You may need to get angry. You may need to be called out.

The therapist's role is to recognize the patterns you are attempting, consciously or subconsciously, to play out in the therapeutic relationship. It is only through honesty and vulnerability that a therapist will know how to respond to those patterns to reach your goals.

Psychotherapy is wrestling with self. Not for the sake of the other. Not for the sake of a relationship. Not for the sake of being more [insert adjective here]. Not to build coping skills. It is to know yourself, accept that reality, and decide who you want to become.

📣CORRECTION!!!. I truly appreciate @Catherine1J and all the others who have corrected me. I never want to disseminate misinformation. I am human. I male mistakes. I got caught up in the framing of the post I quote-tweeted and didn't do my due diligience. I sincerely apologize.

That is quite literally the point. They were being shot at because of their faith, and here you are condeming it. I can't express enough how clearly the Dems are drawing a line in the sand. They are announcing their bigotry on main. They are pledging allegience to the.

This is our century's scarlet letter. If you are girl or woman who dares to defend herself, you will be branded a "problem", "crazy", or "bitch" amd arrested. When passing through Canada this month, my 17 year old daughter had her mace confiscated by border control. She no.

The only thing that drives out sinful thoughts is love. We have to create a culture of beauty, grace, mercy, love, & goodness. Accounts like @OldHollowTree, @jmasseypoet, @goinggodward, @DeanAbbott do this.

The majority of sins are thoughts. We can't battle those sins by being so intolerant we lock up those thinking them.

2) Those new to Christianity will believe that being intolerant of sin means attacking or incarcerating the sinner.

Don't be led down the path of giving up your freedoms by empty promises of safety from inanimate objects or ideas.

Holding a partiuclar ideology is not a crime. It is freedom of thought or religion. Speaking about a particular ideology is not a crime. It is freedom of speech.
