@FreudsMom1990 I'm so chronically off X but seeing this after logging in after a while made my heart very happy. :)

Psych Twitter’s having a field day dunking on IFS after The Cut piece and using it as some kind of "we told you so" moment. I just dropped 90 minutes unpacking the real scandal: who gets to define the human psyche.

i started working with applied neurology thanks to @bftbpod and fuck does it change the game. once you’ve graduated from cognitive-behavioral therapies, tapped into EMDR, are in your late 20s early 30s and overintectuallize your patterns…it’s def time to go fully into neurology

@digijordan @GDubbVII Noticed the lack of mention of Chris, too. But Chris’ angle doesn’t fit with Lue’s fear-based approach. 🙄

[mollie adler @bftbpod]

@digijordan Couldn’t agree more, Jordan. Found myself heavy-sighing and skimming so much of it. Not to mention so much fear-mongering. Insinuating the phenomenon are some sort of apex predator. Focusing so heavily on the “national security aspect.” Struggling to finish the book but I will.

@detransaqua The BPD label is simply hysteria re-packaged. Prisha - I think you’d like this episode of mine on the topic: https://t.co/2uLAgHc8MM

it’s so interesting to me how as a human you could have so much going on in your life but then you sit in your balcony and watch the sunset and suddenly everything kind of doesn’t really matter

Jung said in a letter once that life is a short pause between two great mysteries. Beware of those who offer answers. They may be sincere, but their answers are not necessarily yours.~James Hollis, 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦

"Psychiatric labels don't correspond to known biological pathologies that treatments can then target & ‘cure’. They're rather socially constructed labels ascribed to collections of feelings & behaviours deemed disordered by the psychiatric committees compiling DSM." #Sedated

Non confrontational people actually move so foul

@iam_emilyanne The biggest and heaviest of sighs.

It’s always the next quick fix…

[Angie Peacock, MSW, CPC @angpeacock1111]

There’s so much wrong with this line of thinking, I don’t even know where to start. 1/ I’m so tired of the psychiatry ‘ol okie doke: antidepressants are great, oops, maybe not. Benzos: so much better than barbiturates, oops, got 8 mil Americans dependent on them, kETAMINE!

[Daniel Cohrs, MD @DanielCohrsMD]

And, many patients just stop going to their psychiatrists when they don’t get the help they need (and often find this help in patient communities), or they just stop going because they’re miserable without clear knowledge of why, so there is a selection bias: the patients that psychiatrists have generally seen are the ones who haven’t reached this point.

Again, the point of this isn’t that providers are negligent, uncaring, or incompetent. I think most are well-meaning, doing their best, and *want* to attend adequately to their patients needs. But it can be very difficult for *anyone* to fully appreciate how much hidden assumptions affect what they see—and, more importantly, what they don’t see!

[Daniel Cohrs, MD @DanielCohrsMD]

The takeaway is that it’s very difficult to see something you’re not looking for, and which you literally don’t think exists! Most psychiatrists accept that Paxil and benzos can lead to severe withdrawals, but most also don’t really think *protracted* withdrawals, or even irreversible harm, are a thing. And, the standard teaching with drugs like fluoxetine is that it self tapers, and that there are no withdrawals. So, as a clinician, or as a patient, will you be likely to connect the dots when symptoms appear 6-8 weeks after discontinuation? Will a patient even report such symptoms when the possibility of the connection has never been made?
