Charles Barkley says Dillon Brooks deserves to be an All-Star

“What’s different than what he does than Draymond? What Dillon Brooks is doing for the Phoenix Suns is similar and comparable to what Draymond does for the Warriors when they were rolling, and he was like the third or fourth All-Star.”

87% of people with schizophrenia do not commit violent crimes! 75% of schizophrenics who abuse substances STILL do not commit violent crimes. Do not blame diseases or drugs for people's behavior or patronize people with mental health issues. Evil people do evil things.

Happy birthday to the greatest country on earth 🥳

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

Now is the time for every American who loves our country to step back from the division, renounce all violence, and unite in prayer for President Trump and his family.

[Anthony Bradley @drantbradley]

When you constantly say that someone is a "threat to our democracy," & that certain people are "evil," it encourages people to justify, in their mind, to eliminate the evil & threat. What happened today is exactly what Jonathan Haidt predicted in 2012 in "The Righteous Mind."

"You Can't Hide the Dead Bodies" - Edward Dowd Testifies on the COVID Jabs

"One America CEO Scott Davison, in a chamber of commerce meeting, revealed that he had seen 40% excess mortality ... for 25 through 64. He said that a 10% increase would be once in a 200-year-flood or three standard deviation event. 40% was off the charts."

Excess death data is so bad that the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) is changing its math methodology, which effectively downplays the real number of excess deaths.

Thank you @DrPhil. An entire generation was set back by COVID mismanagement. Our kids suffered and will continue to reap the consequences. I’ve yet to see any accountability for those in power.

Trauma 101

The word trauma is overused and this is bad for our collective mental health. Trauma doesn't describe events; it describes responses to events.

Trauma is what happens when the nervous system goes into Flight, Fight, Freeze, or Fawn mode; it is about an experienced loss of agency in the midst of difficulty.

Horrible, difficult situations loaded with suffering shouldn't be seen as "traumatic", but as "potentially traumatic." Many suffer greatly without being traumatized, many barely suffer and are traumatized. The point isn't to moralize this, but observe it.

When someone says they have trauma or are traumatized, we shouldn't try and evaluate whether the event described "warrants" trauma; we should enter into their experience of the event and take note of how their mind made sense of it in the moment.

Difficulties in childhood aren't "childhood trauma" unless they rooted into your nervous system and cause triggers later in life.

Triggers are irrational overreactions to ordinary events. I am responsible for my triggers - they were put there by me in the past.

Want to be more emotionally healthy?
Trace your triggers to your trauma.

Once you get there, inhabit the memories in the presence of Christ; He is well aquatinted with Sorrow.

Are you having trouble doing that? Find a guide who can help you in that process - this is what good Christian therapists do.

This is super helpful advice. Thanks @Seth_Troutt

[Seth Troutt @Seth_Troutt]

What are emotions?

They are "bodily reactions to instinctive interpretations rooted in past experiences."

1. bodily reactions
2. to instinctive interpretations
3. rooted in past experiences

If you want to grow emotionally, you have to address all three areas. Here's how:
