it's hard to think clearly if you have Donald Trump's mushroom dikk in your mouth.

It's not just paying for tax cuts for the wealthy. It's financing the Fourth Reich: the single biggest budget item in this bill is funding for Trumpler's private ICE army.

A surveillance company with AI that is run by a Nazi. What could go wrong?

Who would like to be told that they died five years ago? It says to her that she doesn't matter to you, or your therapist. I don't see how any of that is helpful to either of you.

"This is uncomfortable, but it's just a feeling, it's not dangerous, it's temporary, and I can handle it."
- Dr Jill Stoddard, therapist and author.

Relying on encounter and dialog - in-the-moment presence - cultivates curiosity rather than fear, and is the center of the Gestalt approach to life.

Fear of the unknown seems to drive religious fanatics. Challenging the unknown through I-Thou dialogue builds community that is the most powerful antidote to fear, and a sense of secure attachment to other (and self) that promotes the courage to follow your heart and dreams. Bravo, Pope.

Anything you do - including nothing - always rewires your brain. Any behavior generates learnings, and the learning are literally "rewiring." If you mean "SIGNIFICANTLY REWIRED" then you must mean that you had a very new and different experience that altered your reward structure for doing nothing.

I was wondering when MAGAts would come for therapists since of course we identify the extreme dangers of NPD, the mental illness that Trump suffers from.

The obsession with systems theory as somehow characterizing what therapy is sounds like someone defending a harmful, sick and now moribund societal system at the cost of individual health and agency, trying to reverse the role of therapists as agents of social change advocating for mental health.

This sure sounds like evidence that todayโ€™s psychiatrists, unlike those of the 1960s, simply arenโ€™t trained in psychotherapy adequately to understand how It is done. The misunderstanding of the method and purpose of validation in therapy is egregiously wrong.

In the case of Trump and Elon, their fathers traumatized them with constant withering disapproval and criticism. And of course their mothers didnโ€™t protect them.

The key to self regulation is secure attachment.

They are the illegal aliens that they have been warning us about. REAL aliens, as different from us as Martians. And caring about us as much as the Martians on War of the Worlds did.

Youโ€™re in love with actual Nazis worshipping a narcissist who is recreating Hitlerโ€™s third reich, and shredding the constitutionโ€˜s basic provisions around government and human rights. You are not open minded by definition. Nazis canโ€™t be.

Consistent with the Nazis plans for genocide. No licensed mental health professional will participate in this murderous abuse because it violates their oath to do no harm.

No to mention that countries dependent on USAID will turn to China - a change which China eagerly awaits and we cannot easily undo.

MAGA voters are the second group of oppressed people in the history of the world that think they are staging a revolution against their oppressors by supporting them. The first group was the German public who elected Hitler.

Indeed. NPD resembles addiction in many fundamental ways.

These lies have worked to control โ€œtemporarily embarrassed millionairesโ€ in the US for a century, so why not keep using them?

Death to the oligarchs!

If a leader is blaming people with less power then they have, they are giving those people the shame in themselves that they are too weak to tolerate.
