@LeahBTherapy “Just because it’s doesn’t do that in everybody doesn’t mean it’s good”. Isn’t there a similar risk to facilitate psychosis when using psychedelics even in a therapeutic setting? Why only criticize one and be a proponent of the other if this is your main issue with IFS?
@sbkaufman Hasn’t this been talked about for half a century in psychoanalytic literature? Or is this more of an empirical attempt to form new sub-categories?
@TweetATherapist For me, EMDR has always seemed like a fancy way to deliver a prolonged exposure intervention. But it is interesting how, anecdotally, people seem to swear by it.
@NofyahShemTov@JonathanShedler What about people who have formed an identity that no longer serves them or lacked the depth to feel authentic? I’d imagine the process of rewriting the narrative is anything but a walk in the park.
This may bring out the haters but:
If you consider yourself a therapist and have little more to offer than “psychoeducation” and skills training and manufactured pseudo-empathy
you could definitely be replaced by an AI chatbot
and deserve to be
