not simping for genocidal ethnostates is a pretty low bar.
A therapist should keep that shit to themselves, regardless of what their political beliefs are. My psychiatrist is a Catholic, but if he started telling me that I should go to church I’d be looking for a new psychiatrist.
However, if you want to be happy, satisfied, and go through life being comfortable and not require therapy, then self awareness is most definitely not a good thing.
I have to disagree. Self-awareness made me feel better about myself, not worse.
You know what requires therapy? Having a gnawing sense that you’re a failure or a coward or something like that. That’s what a lack of self-awareness will get you. That is to say, you’re going to have some opinion about yourself no matter what, and without self-awareness it’s going to be a distorted one.
Should have known something was up with how defensive about Israel she was…
Holy shit, your therapist should not be debating politics with you! That’s right up there with your therapist trying to convert you to their religion or praying with you. That’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed.
“Talk to yourself as you would to a friend”
I’ve never heard of this technique. The one CBT technique that I know is labeling your thoughts (according to the type of cognitive distortion) and countering them. If you do it long enough, your thinking is supposed to change. Changing any habit is difficult, though.
Is there actual evidence that CBT actually works?
Yes! In fact, that’s its biggest selling point. It’s an evidence-based therapy.
You should see some of the arcade machine ads from '70s.
Same reason why circumcision is so popular in the United States. Kellogg’s legacy: flakey cereal and choppin’ off foreskins! Sweet Satan, this country’s history is so weird.

Just don’t go down in the park.
The main thing is that they want you to keep talking about it. Even if it’s negative press, it’s still press. Just whatever you do…don’t quit talking about it! That’s why I have trouble even making a comment like this. I feel like I’m still feeding into it somehow.
That certainly seems to be case with pick-up artists. They don’t seem to like women very much. The women are only there to impress…who? Other men.
I have two questions for you.
Do you believe that everybody is a blank slate without variation?
Mozart learned to play at 4, began composing at 5, and wrote his first symphony at 8. Do you think that every child is capable of this?
I kept reading that as “Pilates don’t cheat” and I was so confused.
I’m not talking about the legal construct, though. I’m talking about the philosophical principle.
Free speech doesn’t let you say whatever you want to anyone, it’s intention is to protect you while speaking out against government officials and offices.
It sounds like you’re getting freedom of speech mixed up with the First Amendment. They aren’t the same thing. The First Amendment’s intention is to protect your freedom of speech from the government. If you want your freedom of speech protected from other things (such as your employer), the First Amendment won’t protect you.
No, the First Amendment only protects you from the government. “Free speech” is a philosophical principle which has nothing to do with governments directly.
However, an “advertising standards board” that decides what can and cannot be posted publicly sounds pretty governmental to me.
But even when free speech wasn’t forced it wouldn’t force channels to carry your advertisement.
Of course, but that still isn’t any kind of universal standards board, that’s individual channels deciding independently.
That sounds like it would go against the First Amendment.
The farm is only part of it. Whether they were raised on a factory farm or your neighbor’s farm, they all go to the same slaughterhouse. Unless you know farmers who do their own slaughtering, which I highly doubt.
