@DGlaucomflecken I take care of people in nursing homes. Aging is stigmatized in our culture. I wish we had a different name for senescence. And, maybe we should just call it what it is - senescence. Our bodies wind down. Discerning reversible or mitigatable parts of that are difficult.
@IraByock It’s a tic-like writing hook. ‘Thank you for this interesting consult’. It is also a way of distancing and separating ourselves from this ‘unfortunate patient’. As if we are all not in that baneful category!
Good morning ☀️
As a child psychiatrist, I often get asked by new parents/parents to be the same question
“What’s the best thing we can do for our kids? Private school? Travel? No screens? Avoid sugar?”
I say the same thing every time
Don’t abuse your kids
We are pleased to announce that the Eternal Flame Trail is officially re-opened! The new trail will be safer and more accessible. Please remember this remains a trail of moderate difficulty, so plan accordingly!
@Theholisticpsyc Personally, I have left behind some of the worst parts of sexualized trauma. Which I view as healing and growth. I won’t pretend that desire still exists though. Humans are complicated.
@Theholisticpsyc Kink and BDSM communities have long discussed this. Working through trauma by repetition doesn’t work through it. Yet desire remains, and confounds us all.
