@_StevenFan Hey, yeah I've been busy working and parenting for the most part. Have just quit my day job, to go fully to private practice. Cohousing is great, yeah, been here a bit over a year now!

@m_ashcroft found EMDR helpful for exactly this, once we got down to where the fear was stored in the body/memory networks

what we want to change is not just beliefs but affordance landscapes

@stephsoussloff @nat_sharpe_ ya similar to what you've said, both! for me journalling is primarily a way of keeping track of an embodied exploration/inquiry that usually moves through parts work, a kind of self-therapy that tends to naturally move towards dissolution of parts towards nonduality

In this post I link the cog sci discussed so far with therapeutic/coaching modalities such as EMDR, IFS, and Aletheia Coaching, and argue that these tap into autopoietic healing and harmonising capacities within self-organising systems of human cognition https://t.co/eLRey2ialI

@rageflowerrr it has a lot to teach us ime, and lessens in accordance with how much of the learnings we've integrated from it

Latest post on the Platform. The thing that most lights me up about this one is the difference between Living Systems and Machine Systems - feels like it points at something really important and pragmatic in the context of responding to meta-crisis https://t.co/Ngp2O1cUdm

@speakerjohnash good therapy succeeds despite market conditions rather than because of them

All in all, it does take some building out to make these links, and we explore @henriqgx ToK system in detail as a key framework to make these links between bigger-than-self reality and human psychology and culture. Thanks for your time and enjoy reading 🙏

Kind of a long post this month, drawing the link between the evolutionary history of the cosmos and planet and the evolutionary principles at work in biological and psycho-cultural systems, including in human cognition and culture. https://t.co/1EGPo5NVpC

The framing I build in this post is aimed to start to break down the idea that we are (only) individuals in a consumer relationship with the world and history, and the separation and potential for nihilism and disconnection inherent to that way of understanding ourselves.
