If you read this from right to left it feels incredibly creepy!

Or three even smaller rocks

I think this is a robot Chicken joke 😁

I could be wrong but I think that is what confidence is.

Being able to act when you're not feeling certain. Trusting yourself to handle the unknown or uncomfortable, that it won't be too much for yourself.

Isn't that what is often meant when we tell others we have confidence in them? We're not saying they won't meet resistance or difficulties, we're saying we trust they'll handle them.

Why not say the same thing to ourselves?

Someone who works with a particular style of therapy. I'm gonna over simplify because this is a lemmy post not a classroom.

There's psychodynamic therapy (think Freudian) where the therapist works out what's wrong with you and tells you what you need to do to fix it.

There's behavioural therapy (think CBT) where what you feel isn't the issue, it's about changing your behaviour to fix your life.

And there's humanistic (think Carl Roger's Person Centred, etc) which is about the therapist being an ally, working with awareness, support and warmth. They're the most non judgmental, they're the best for making changes at a deep level and they're least likely to tell you what to do. Advice is not part of the work.

When I see a person who only has four fingers, I generally assume there is a very valid reason for that.

Almost all the reasons I hear for not going to therapy don't apply to holistic therapy, only the medical approach.

Find a humanistic therapist if you want someone to support you rather than fix you.

Hey! I know loads of good therapists, including myself.

we don't take insurance, that's not really a thing in this country.

And We're mostly full and not taking on new clients.

But there's some capacity, if you're willing to pay I can get you an appointment this week.

I worry for the mind that wrote that.

Hope you're ok

Are there non-lewd sex acts?

Been listening to the stories of how people saved, supported and fought for others during the Holocaust, even risking their own lives.

I'm not taking away from the tragedy of the loss suffered by so many. I'm saying we can take some hope that human nature is complex enough and good enough that we must not lose sight of that in the face of evil.
