There is a difference between going to therapy and engaging in healing work.
Therapy is one hour per week.
Healing work is a series of conscious choices you make throughout each day.
Neuroplasticity tells us the brain can change throughout life. How do we use this to our advantage? REPETITION.
Repeat and repeat same chances every day.
I was just speaking to @osf_nft about how two wrongs don’t make it right. When in conflict we only have control over our own actions! There should be safety in conflict, meaning two people can disagree without shame and judgement. What are your thoughts about conflict?
What are your core beliefs?
These are subconscious beliefs we hold in our mind or the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of who we are in the world
@pleasenomoreban Initial thoughts- I think it is less about the metaverse/social media and more about individual accountability and boundaries.I try not to pathologize certain things.The metaverse may just be an extension of society, and so we may see similar mental health challenges in it.
@gm_philosopher Gm- great to meet you! My previous clinical work has been at a trauma center with young adults, as well as with children in school settings. How about you?
@truewu@osf_nft I like to think that anxiety thrives in the past or future. Working through our past is important and so is thinking about the future, but remember when you can to stay present!
@bravedog_g This is a big topic! Firstly, personality is so complex it stems from our childhood patterns. With regards to negative self talk- remember that resistance thoughts that are negative have no power over you!
