"Some of the work is about learning about yourself, learning about what your patterns are. What do you react to? How do you react? What can you do instead? What can you do to soothe yourself? And some of it is about developing emotional/psychological resilience." #masculinity

Just watched first 3 hrs of Pam Bondi's testimony to House Judiciary Committee. As an adult still in the process of recovering from childhood abuse, I can honestly say it was one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. Tears of rage at her monstrous denials and diversions.

I discovered yesterday that TikTok is restricting visibility of this video and requiring login to watch it.

The reason given?

"Posts that some may find uncomfortable are unavailable."

What are your thoughts? Is this video too "uncomfortable" for a general audience to see?

Deliberate weaponization of #trauma is evil. It is psychological abuse and anyone who advocates for it should not be in charge of anything.

If you find yourself feeling irritable, lonely, blue, or otherwise emotionally disrupted during the holidays, try asking yourself:

* How old is the part of me who's feeling that way?
* What does that part of me need/want?
* How might I as an adult provide it?

Holidays or not, don’t give up your life for a family that can’t even see who you are and never will. A corrupt family system will eat you alive no matter how much you try to keep silent and appease it.

There's often a lot of pressure and guilt tripping during holidays from family and culture to "forgive and forget", "let bygones be bygones" and so on. But there are good reasons why we all need to forgive (if we choose to do so at all) at our own speed.

Here's a very small poem I wrote on the #WinterSolstice in 2010.

Stillness is a state of being many of us diligently avoid but if you make some time for it today, you may find it beneficial, and perhaps even as profound as I did on this shortest day of the year 14 years ago.

No man wants to open up and be shamed, scared, or perhaps worst of all ignored into shutting back down again.

Excellent and highly recommended post exploring this problem linked below. 3/3

The internalized shame that keeps men quiet about their struggles is all too often reinforced when they do try to open up because men who take the risk of being open, vulnerable, and saying "I need help" are often ignored, rejected, and left to deal alone. 2/3

We damage men horribly when we expect, encourage, and even demand that they open up, and then provide no meaningful support and/or criticize them when they do. 1/3
