Good news and bad news here
1️⃣ Good: Yet again, psychodynamic therapy is at least as effective as CBT. Despite fact that CBT is routinely promoted & marketed as “evidence based,” “gold standard,” blah blah. It’s spun as science but it’s never been anything but PR
2️⃣ Bad: Yet again, treatment duration is too short to learn anything useful. Serious psychological work hasn’t even begun. And depression symptoms alone are a woefully inadequate outcome measure. Doesn’t even scratch the surface of the real psychological changes that occur in psychodynamic therapy
As usual: CBT is not superior to any other legit psychotherapy. And the research is done in a way that makes it impossible to learn anything truly scientifically or clinically meaningful
1/ A sure sign of bad therapy is that the client or patient leaves therapy sessions feeling better—but continues living their life the same way, repeating the same self-defeating patterns and getting the same unhappy outcomes
Real psychotherapy is not meant to be a feel-good
1/ “As affect is repeatedly brought into the therapy relationship and managed through a variety of stabilizing mechanisms, the client internalizes these skills while simultaneously sculpting the neural structures necessary for the autoregulation of emotion… As in childhood, the
#Kalki2808AD would be so much better if someone edited one hour of the first half out. only reason I stayed was for Amitji and the second half was so much better.
If you’re a licensed therapist, and one of your recommendations for patients is to turn to K-dramas, I personally find that to be irresponsible and unethical? But anyway…
I’m a researcher, so I spend more time asking questions and listening than speaking.
I have engaged with hundreds of Zionists in the last 10 years and most in the last 7 months.
Every single one of them were filled with vengeful rage after Oct 7 and most are now indicating an interesting level of satisfaction and softening.
The number of deaths seems to have satisfied a “lesson” taught to Palestinians. Hence, the softening and backtracking by many Zionists who are calling out the situation in Gaza “sickening, horrifying, unthinkable” now and disassociating from an “extremist government” that they apparently never supported. As though we don’t have receipts (lol).
Netanyahu was always meant to take the fall. In fact, his personality type of insatiable greed, toxic ego, and unhinged leadership is what Zionism needed, so it becomes easier to throw him under the bus at the right time.
Don’t be fooled by their newfound morality. Zionists will do anything to protect the Zionist project because colonizers are only loyal to the colony, not its people.
The likes of @amyschumer spent months fuelling the flames of “war” and genocidal revenge in the guise of “Israel has the right to defend itself.”
If it was about self defence, why change your stance now? Is there no longer a threat of “terrorism”?
Simple logic would suggest there’d be even more threat of Palestinians becoming “radicalized” after Israel murdered their children. But this was never about safety, it was always about power.
More worrisome is the fact that every Zionist I have ever spoken to has revealed a level of hatred towards Palestinians that I have never seen in ANY community (hate crimes is my area).
You see, Zionism has entire families, communities, a nation convinced of their racial religious superiority, even little old ladies doing interfaith work in 🇨🇦 are willing to defend the human rights of anyone, BUT Palestinians 😉.
The Zionists I have engaged with have never shown hatred towards me as a Muslim, just towards Palestinians. In fact, they have tried hard to convince me that they (🇵🇸) don’t deserve me, suggesting I am more like them (🇮🇱) - “civilized” and “better”.
This is NOT a religious war. This is NOT a war on terror. This is very simply a colonial land grab. And the only way they can convince themselves they have the right to eliminate those existing on that land before them is to treat them as sub-human and less deserving of life.
And what better way to convince the world to look away than to lean on the “war on terror” and make it about those “inherently violent Muslims” at a time when hating Muslims is the only acceptable hate entrenched in policy and discourse.
