The latest news for you https://t.co/i3C8FXG3AI Incredibly wise therapist's first and last interaction with an AI therapist. Basically, AI aren't human, they aren't educated, supervised or clinically trained. They don't possess the ability to understand human relationships!

Not every mood swing fits the textbook. Mixed states are common, complex, and key to understanding your treatment needs. Many people don’t land neatly in the category of bipolar 1, bipolar 2, or depression. Instead, they experience something in between.

Being single in a society that glamorizes romantic love is no easy feat, but it can be deeply liberating and fulfilling to many. This is why. https://t.co/PAPDHOEPXU

Something I see often in therapy: People say they *want* change, but they stay on their current path.

We want to take action — to leave the job, set the boundary, end the relationship, start something new.

But then we freeze, delay responding, or just talk ourselves out of the change.

Why? Because change ALWAYS comes with some kind of loss, EVEN when the change is a positive step forward..

👤 Leaving a job might mean losing your identity.
💔 Setting a boundary might mean losing approval.
🌱 Starting something new might mean letting go of who you used to be.

That’s why people stay the same. Staying in an already painful situation *feels safer* than losing something, even if what we lose by staying is ourselves.

What have you talked yourself out of recently? Are you resisting change because you’re afraid of a loss? Let me know in the comments. 👇

In order to fan the flames of mania, or pacify the pain of depression, those with bipolar are particularly prone to a more costly form of impulsivity. https://t.co/xZZYUsYFZ9

The only reasonable role of a health insurance company is to pay bills, not to "manage" care.
The only reasonable decision-makers in health care are patients and their doctors.

"The happiest people aren’t necessarily those who have figured out their grand purpose in life. They are the ones who have found meaningful ways to connect with others through activities that bring them joy." Here's why. https://t.co/elbM8YKA4u
