@jesusrglez Always good to consider the source- the conditions of Narcissus’ birth, his prophecy, his brief inter-section w Echo, and his demise.
They can really suck the air out of a room.

✍️ This piece let's you enter a psychotherapy session and see what happens behind the curtain. I'm surprised (and pleased) it's turned out to be one of my most popular pieces. I invite you to read it.

Well said @psychgeist52 “As critics have been arguing all along, individualised, medicalised and decontextualised models & narratives are not only net ineffective, but even contribute to and exacerbate social & psychological issues and distress. “
From the paper: "Several high-quality trials have shown that universal mental health interventions based on mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy and general mental health awareness can all have negative outcomes, including an increase in internalizing symptoms."
As critics have been arguing all along, individualised, medicalised and decontextualised models & narratives are not only net ineffective, but even contribute to and exacerbate social & psychological issues and distress.
We dont face a crisis of 'mental disorders' in need of medical or cognitive treatment, we face a socio-psychological crisis and a crisis of medicalisation in need of a societal rethink.
“Psychotherapy then stands at a crossroads. It can continue to operate as a collection of competing tribes, or it can finally organize around the processes that make change possible. The emergence of AI has not created this dilemma—it has simply made it unavoidable.”
Psychotherapy integration into 1 unified whole has failed.
Instead 50 different techniques compete with each other.
Bad for patients/limiting for therapists/freezes field in past.
Competion from chatbot therapists forces us to up our game.
