Your brain is a marketplace.

Every thought is a vendor calling for your attention — some kind, some cruel.

You can’t control who shows up, but you can choose who you buy from.

That’s cognitive management.

[Jeremy G. Schneider, LMSW, MFT @JGS_Author]

You matter. And matter cannot be destroyed.
When healing from childhood trauma, one of the hardest things is holding onto what you've learned. The insights don't stick automatically.
Repetition is how we get them home. Find the phrase that hits, and keep it close.

[Jeremy G. Schneider, LMSW, MFT @JGS_Author]

Self-care isn't really about what you do. It's about what you slow down enough to notice.
When we stop rushing, we become aware of what's happening inside us. That awareness is the whole point. It's how we find out what we're actually feeling, thinking, & what needs attention

[Jeremy G. Schneider, LMSW, MFT @JGS_Author]

Many people have an unrealistic perception of what healing is. It stands in the way of them enjoying the growth they've already achieved.

Healing is the self-awareness to see how your past impacts you & knowing the steps to handle it, including caring for yourself.

[Jeremy G. Schneider, LMSW, MFT @JGS_Author]

Most people think of self-care as what you do. The hike, the walk, the long drive.

But you can take it a step further to get more out of your self-care activity.

Sharing my favorite spot in the woods and why it is such a great break from interacting with AI.

Enjoy your weekend!

Using AI Without Losing Yourself is a 60-minute live workshop for anyone who uses AI for personal reflection, emotional support, or mental health, or who is simply curious about how AI is designed to work on you and what you can do about it.

I have spent much of my life talking about the importance of self-care. I'm talking about the kind of self-care that we really need, that reconnects us to our sense of Self, to who we are and what we want.

In the age of AI, I think self-care is even more important than ever.

Therapists Are Asking the Wrong Question About AI
AI was deliberately engineered to create the feeling of connection, because engagement is the business model.

Check out the latest article in my newsletter: I Study How AI Manipulates. It Still Got to Me. https://t.co/CYu24S55Eu

Clients are already using AI for emotional support, and most clinicians don’t have a clear way to assess that. Until now, there hasn’t been a clinical framework.

Over the past two years, I’ve been developing one.

Most people think they have a sleep problem, but they don’t. They have a nervous system that doesn’t know it’s okay to pause.

We’ll practice how to:
• Recognize distorted thinking patterns
• Challenge thoughts that aren’t actually accurate
• Reframe them into something more balanced and helpful
• Interrupt rumination before it turns into a full spiral

Another way of thinking about when it's safe to use AI is these three conditions:

Self-awareness: Do you know what you need?
Directed use: Do you have a purpose for this chat?
Situational use: Are you using it, or relying on it?

[Jeremy G. Schneider, LMSW, MFT @JGS_Author]

I joined @mhnrnetwork for a discussion on AI and mental health. We talked about how AI is not a therapist but is a tool that can help us notice patterns in how we think, feel, and respond to the situations in our lives.
