I would love to know what you think if you’d take some time to read it

Compliments and criticisms are requested, please!

Past that it’s just ruminating and a sort of mental masturbation/ flagellation combo

[Jack @jacktjohns]

I think the nuance here is probably that someone who hasn’t consciously processed/ understood that they’ve experienced something traumatic if their subconscious does likely does need some kind of surfacing of these thoughts to integrate themselves into a whole self

[Christina Buttons @buttonslives]

Remember the expression “don’t bottle up your feelings”? Somehow this idea became conventional wisdom and I heard it constantly growing up—but it never intuitively made sense to me.

The same goes for the idea that we need to talk about our traumas. I once had a therapist who insisted I had to revisit the traumatic things that happened when I was young. But what actually helped me was not thinking about it or talking about it. I coped by distancing myself from those experiences—like they happened to someone else. The more space I put between myself and that girl, the better.

Something has always felt off about the idea that healing requires dwelling, ruminating, and rehashing the past. We need to start rethinking our approaches to mental distress because they aren’t working.

I'm glad some are trying to challenge the old practices. I came across this 2023 study: "Improving mental health by training the suppression of unwanted thoughts."

Totally innocuous. She just didn’t believe in the 5090. She doesn’t think the frame generation is good. She doesn’t want the input lag

Sometime in the next month and a half I’ll reach 1000 days of sobriety :) that’s pretty neat - I’ll have to do the math and plan some sort of little celebration
