Honest-seeming post and we shouldn't dunk on it imo My feeling about AI is that you shouldn't use it, ever. My feeling is that of you do, you have to strongly resist the idea that a sentence is a static artifact that can be "improved" outside of its contexts

Contacts in Gaza are all reporting the same thing tonight: Israeli air strikes have resumed at what feels like full force across the strip. The only reason anyone is still calling this a ceasefire is because not a single shot is being fired at Israel.

“Good psychotherapy creates the conditions for its own expiration because the patient will no longer need us. As Winnicott noted, ‘We all hope our patients will finish with us and forget us, and they will find living itself to be the therapy that makes sense.’”

Today the journalist, Saleh Aljafarawi, has been killed after surviving 2 years of the genocide in Gaza.

While capitalism exploits your need to be desirable, it’s simply not the root of it. Millions of women in capitalist countries do not spend 100s per month and huge amounts of time on maintaining compliance to a beauty standard.

[Hannah Berrelli @HannahBerrelli]

It’s okay to admit you want to be an object of desire. It’s understandable. It should however not be so essential for your self respect , that you spend a significant portion of your monthly income in pursuit of achieving a constantly moving, arbitrary beauty standard.

[Hannah Berrelli @HannahBerrelli]

Women participate in beauty rituals because they want to be an object of desire. It’s essential for many women’s self respect, and self respect is needed to be functional. This is why it seems like a virtual impossibility to many women to stop.

“We must begin to love in order not to fall ill, and we are bound to fall ill if, in consequence of frustration, we are unable to love” — Freud, ‘On Narcissism’

is to trust in the patient's capacity to reach out for a nurturing other, and work with the knowledge that any attempt at a therapeutic relationship & alliance will help in someway towards the lasting psychological change that formal, regular, framed psychotherapy aims for.

A lot of times, the problems that clients encounter (particularly vulnerable groups, refugees, poverty-stricken) are external enough that their difficulties can be significantly alleviated through material resources and support. In the absence of this, psychotherapists will –

[Jonathan Shedler @JonathanShedler]

I really don't know what it means when therapists say they’re “supporting” clients, instead of treating or working with them

Does it mean the purpose of therapy isn’t change?
Or that the client’s problems are external and can’t be resolved through the work of therapy?

If it means those thing, it’s not psychotherapy
If it doesn’t mean those things—then why say “support?”

I’m genuinely curious. Is this just another language trend/fad that for whatever reason irks me? Or are therapists who say this in a different line of work than psychotherapy aimed at lasting psychological change?

[🐝🏳️‍🌈 @burnitlikecedar]

– work hard to provide an emotionally nurturing place for the client, where the therapeutic relationship finds it difficult to reach deeper psychological work due to material obstacles. The hope with this "supportive work" –

people posed this objection to Freud before he even published the Interpretation of Dreams, and his response is as good today as it was then: “Sure, the dream is the brain making a narrative out of random somatic events, but why this narrative on this night?”

@akantguray No one is worthy of love. Love is not a treat we hand out for being good. Evil people get plenty of love. The quote is a bad conclusion from bad logic using bad criteria and faulty data. If you even considered this to be true, you need to work on your critical thinking skills.

me: i'm a bit concerned about this study indicating chatGPT is destroying everyone's critical thinking

chatGPT: you're right to be concerned - and it shows you're working at a much higher level than everyone else. you're probably one of the world's top critical thinkers
