"You will have so many opportunities to do the wrong thing: To gossip, to lie, to cut corners, to take short cuts. It’s never worth it, because then it makes it harder to like yourself. No amount of money or fame will make you feel good if you aren’t proud of how you’ve acted."

[Hassan Mafi ‏ @thatdayin1992]

Insane how 3 deaths from Hantavirus brings more attention to Western media than Zionists killing +2,870 civilians in Lebanon.

‘interesting’ is the ultimate
swizz army word ever created.

one of my personal favorites tbh.

[Adam @abetrade]

pretty crazy how five years ago vaccines were the most devastating thing you could ever do to your body but nowadays its fine to inject chinese peptide from Temu because you cant stop snacking after dinner

Nobody is going to hate you more than someone who is faking something that you naturally embody.

I get blown away every time I read this paragraph by Carl Jung:

To love someone else is easy, but to love what you are, the thing that is yourself, is just as if you were embracing a glowing red-hot iron: it burns into you and that is very painful. Therefore, to love somebody else in the first place is always an escape which we all hope for, and we all enjoy it when we are capable of it. But in the long run, it comes back on us. You cannot stay away from yourself forever, you have to return, have to come to that experiment, to know whether you really can love. That is the question-whether you can love yourself, and that will be the test.

@GendlinsMuse I think the title “psychological associate” makes no sense, is confusing, and is not used anywhere in the world other than here. If a masters level clinician gets adequate supervisory hours, they should be registered as a Psychologist. The public needs more clinicians, not less.

The best ever advice to achieve a long term goal by Tolstoy:

"A rare and deadly “civil war” has broken out between two factions of chimps in Africa," per WSJ

@ChrisKi02048388 @ModernCeasar Recommend*

[Benjamin Cowen @benjamincowen]

Someone could go to school for 4 years and study aerospace engineering, then get a PhD with a dissertation related to orbital mechanics, and some instagram influencer who watched a youtube video will be like "actually that guy is wrong" on a topic related to space travel and people will believe them.

I'm not sure how we got here, but I hope we go back to a society where credibility is earned with rigorous training in the associated field, not by a popularity contest.

[Ruman Khan @Rumankhan__]

@ModernCeasar Agreed. Better to not get into politics. His autobiography is an amazing book. How one man could accomplish so much in his life makes me wonder how much more I can do. Very motivating.

[Ruman Khan @Rumankhan__]

@ModernCeasar But also freed his country from apartheid. After 27 years in jail and becoming the first black president, he definitely could have taken revenge and killed a lot of ppl, but he didn’t. Also, it is called South “Africa” not south holland or south europe. Just my opinion tho

[Ruman Khan @Rumankhan__]

@ModernCeasar Why not?

As a therapist, your job is not to push an agenda on patients, create converts to your worldview, persuade, dissuade, approve, disapprove, affirm or disaffirm.

Your job is to help your patients know themselves more fully so they can become more whole and live life more freely—on their terms, not yours.

In other words: Psychotherapy is meant to expand the patient’s sense of personal agency. Not the therapist’s.

In your therapist role, it is also not your job to recruit supporters, disciples, fans, followers, groupies, or devotees. Those things are incompatible with doing psychotherapy.

The goal is for your patients to get well—then finish with you and go on to live their lives.

It’s not about us. It’s never about us. It’s about the patient.

The therapist’s needs are met through the fee and protected via the therapy frame. The rest must be 💯 about the patient

When that’s understood, everything changes.

“We refuse most emphatically to turn a patient who puts himself into our hands in search of help into private property, to decide his fate for him, to force our own ideals upon him, and with the pride of a Creator to form him in our own image and see that it is good.”
—S. Freud

I’m in love with this sentence:

“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”

Nowadays all you see is ppl ridiculing and slandering each other on social media. But we need to remember:

Using Ai for personal or relationship advice = no bueno

[Dr. 𝐌𝐨𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧 | محمـــد غيـــلان @MohamedGhilan]

AI only passes the Turing test after we delude ourselves. And in that delusion we engage in confirmation bias in a simulated conversation. In reality, we’re not “becoming worse” as such. Rather, we’re revealing the true nature of our lower self and letting it take the wheel.
