Much of Sigmund Freud’s work has been dismissed as quackery, @SStossel writes—but it might align with modern brain research more than we think. https://t.co/Ob8hfRtDzZ

I regret to inform you that true intimacy is built over time and through repair of conflict

“The medium of the talking cure involves having people move awareness along a gradient within them from unthought/unknown, to barely detectable, to feelable, to speakable, to elaborate-able, linkable, and ultimately transformable, from unconscious to conscious.”

when other people get headaches? an unfortunate & random ailment that should be treated with painkillers asap. when i get headaches? the universe’s cosmic punishment for being inherently Bad & as such i must simply Endure

Fascinating summary of 40 years of psychotherapy outcome research- massive effort that confirmed efficacy/guaranteed insurance coverage.

But a very bad side effect: specific techniques were placed in artificial competition rather than integrated into 1 coherent/unified therapy.

Modern life offers you an anaesthetic for every unused part of you, overeating for unlived desire, scrolling for unspent attention, entertainment for abandoned imagination. The cure is actual beauty, obsession, difficult little projects and becoming (almost) impossible to pacify.

We made a literary map of America.

Here's some highlights from over 400 literary landmarks and travel routes:

Slide 2: New York City is the most famous literary city in America, and possibly the world. It contains landmark books from the Revolution through the contemporary era, from the History of New York, by Washington Irving, to the recent fantasy blockbuster The Invisible Life of Addie Larue,  by V.E. Schwab...

Slide 3: ...and the surrounding tri-state area of the Big Apple is also home to amazing  and influential stories like Falconer, by John Cheever, Are You There God, It’s Me, by Judy Blume, and Jaws, by Peter Benchley

Slide 4: In this detail of Texas of the midwest, travel routes criss cross from the Grapes of Wrath, On the Road, and News of the World

To lie is to mangle the world, to chop off its limbs and disfigure it to get what you want. Non embodiment feels like youre just doing that to yourself, but you arent. You cant separate how you treat yourself from how you treat other people, and the whole world
