This is an insane post.

“Don’t go to therapy… …we aren’t woman”

Be better. Toxic Andrew Tate type bullshit.

I’m not sure you’re at the point in your journey where you’ve realized therapy isn’t some benevolent net positive and is actually in many cases harmful.

We have more people going to therapy than ever before and yet everyone is more mentally ill than ever before.

Fixating on your problems causes them to grow.

Psychologist here and I disagree. As that is not what I have seen in my practice and the research also shows psychotherapy overall have positive impacts in people's lives.

why do i hear a most-pronounced lisp when i read your "hi, im a fucking tool" post?

As a psychologist why do you think mental illness is increasing broadly across the board despite the fact that we have more people in therapy than ever before?

Good question, although one that has a complex answer. However, I will do my best.

First, I would say it starts in the family environment. Most parents are not trained to holistically raise their children (physical, emotional, and spiritual). They have allowed the state to dupe them into state propaganda which is antithetical to holistic intelligence. Moreover, parents really can't find good practical help in understanding how their child's world works (their thoughts and emotions). Additionally, with parents, they are ever increasing in their busyness throughout the day, as the fiat system is designed to always require more labor to uphold the basic needs of a family.

Second, a lot of us (and to your original note) do not want to take responsibility for our own actions.

Third, too much inauthentic stimulation. Social media, fear prorogation, and unhealthy foods and water.

To combine it all, we have not had the best parenting, which creates the symptoms of abdication of our responsibility while the state socially engineers our environment around us to pull us away from authenticity from ourselves and Nature.

Yeah but that was true a generation ago as well and the rates of mental illness aren’t as high as they are now.

I wonder about medication through psychiatry also. Seems like that is an underappreciated risk factor for some people, as many medications have side effects that are unpleasant and even harmful.

And might it be true that finding a good psychologist is like finding a good teacher is like finding a good guru is like finding a good investment advisor, there are a whole bell curve of possibilities and everyone is looking for the right tail?

Many of the medications just straight up don’t work either. I would say most of them. “Chemical Imbalance” is bullshit.

I can see both perspectives, my grip is with licensing from the state and the obligations and perspectives it forces on to the therapist client relationship. I believe that should be sacred first and foremost, and I struggle to see how it can be that with the state in between. And this is not unique to this relationship, but doctors, teachers, and all relationships in which ‘licensing’ is the only way to attain such a practice.

Yes, that is why I retired my license. Now I work in the private under a Private Membership Association. I do NOT get involved with the state.

I felt the same way. I get that doing things and being productive can help, but I’d never tell someone to not go to therapy. I would just ALSO tell them to do things, to be productive, to exercise, to meditate, etc.

That post was a little much for me, too. Like, I’d strangle this dude in a real life physical confrontation, but I was in therapy last week. Lol

STFU, bitch.

With the caveat that I haven't been to therapy, and hence don't know the full details of the particular subject of this thread, that is exactly what I don't like in Bitcoin circles. While there are many, probably even a decent majority, of reasonable bitcoiners, there seems to be a disproportionately large portion of people with Tate-ish opinions (regarding a certain few subjects), compared to people in general. I even see it (or perhaps I should say hear it) radicalizing certain podcasters over time, them becoming more and more hateful towards people not sharing the Ideals(TM). This itself can't be good for their own mental health, and if there's anything we don't need in the Bitcoin community, its division over matters that are irrelevant to Bitcoin and its future.

So glad I have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe cull your “feed”. More signal. Less noise. What you give your attention to is YOUR choice. No one else’s.

Becoming self sovereign is about far more than Bitcoin. 👁️🪬💓🧬

Living in la-la-land isn't good either. Then reality has a tendency to, seemingly but actually not, suddenly, punch you in the face.

There is no objective “reality”. Yours is yours. Mine is mine. And WE are creating and re-creating it in every moment. You can verify this for yourself if you slow the mind enough.

Of course there's an objective reality, though no human, and no AI either for that matter, is able to see its entirety. However, you can see an approximation in some level of fidelity, and aspects of reality can make themselves known in unpleasant ways if you ignore them. If you walk with your eyes closed, the wall in front of you doesn't cease to exist, you will hit it.

You are free to “believe” what you choose. But the science is pretty settled. Just as the yogis and sages have been saying for millennia….

Beyond this, the recent work of Donald Hoffman is quite…..en-light-ening 👁️

Be well brother 🙏🏻

From what I understand, such phenomena are pretty much inconsequential at normal scales, temperatures and pressures, and not affected by consciousness per se, but by measuring, which can't be done without disturbing the tiny particles/waves in question. I'll continue keeping my eyes open when walking...
