Tonight, Tim Walz nails the coffin closed on the the failing MAGA movement and strikes a blow for childless cat ladies everywhere!

J.D. Vance doesn't stand a chance. #WinningWithWalz

Retweet if you can't wait to see Walz crush that fascist creep Vance!

“The language of ‘therapy speak’ becomes a substitute for the often painful work of self-exploration; we just use the language, creating the illusion of doing the psychological work while in fact bypassing it” (20:00)

Studies show that many employees commute for hours, only to spend a surprisingly small portion of their in-office time on face-to-face activities.

[Jonathan Shedler @JonathanShedler]

Training in psychotherapy begins in earnest when it finally sinks in that giving advice doesn't help

And it sinks in that common-sense solutions haven’t helped and won’t help now

Meaningful psychotherapy is not an extension of common sense. It is something else entirely.

[Jonathan Shedler @JonathanShedler]

1/ Sixteen psychoanalytic concepts for our time (updated)

Splitting: Perceiving others in black-or-white categories; seeing them as one-dimensional, as purely good or purely evil.

Denial: Refusal to acknowledge or accept reality when it does not fit your wishes & preferences.

[BrightonPsych @BrightonPsych]

@JonathanShedler @AliceWLnd With patients I often talk of living ‘an ordinary life’ (and have written about it). The capacity to find meaning, purpose, love and thus self esteem from building something of substance in the real world. Not by ‘manifesting’ stuff on a mood board or chanting affirmations.

VIDEO: Shwe Lei and her team wrestle writhing pythons into old rice sacks and load them into a van. It's just another day in the life of Myanmar's premier snake removal squad, prising pythons and cobras and returning them to their natural habitat.

Since teens prefer watching over reading, shouldn’t we be teaching them how to make sense of the stories they see, and helping them to create their own, just as we teach them how to read and write? https://t.co/5LTRWPA9wO #education #MediaSchool

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

A cycle breaker is someone who chooses to end the epidemic of family dysfunction by speaking, thinking, coping, and behaving in new ways.

[Nicolas Gurvits @NGurvits]

@Theholisticpsyc Your growth in self-awareness and responsibility can often clash with the interests of those who have directly benefitted from the unhealthy coping mechanisms of denial, deflection, and blame in a dysfunctional family.

Not everyone will choose truth.

[ENIS CIRAK 🪷 Natural Calm @cirak_enis]

@Theholisticpsyc One of the big themes of a dysfunctional family is procrastination.

Whenever there needs to be a hard conversation, people just put it off or avoid it.

Much like a dirty closet, eventually, it becomes so full we just keep the doors closed.

[Clint Murphy @IAmClintMurphy]

@Theholisticpsyc The challenge I see with the golden child, when it is a boy, as an example, is they become the Nice Guy.

Robert Glover's book, No More Mr Nice Guy shares all that's wrong with that and how to fix it.

A child should suppress their wants and desires to appease mom and dad.
