Another example of the overcorrection. 1990’s was the correction to previous generations’ repressed and sometimes very dismissive attitudes- 2024 is a gross, deeply unhelpful, overcorrection. Find the middle way.

The subliminal messaging we’re force fed everyday is profoundly psychologically corrosive.
It makes you *smaller*, more fragile, less resilient, less capable and cheats you out of your potential, agency and adult independence.
If an entire population adopts these ideas what would that look like?👇🏽

This is called an over correction- not a solution.
Balance rarely looks like an extreme that entirely abdicates the other perspective. It’s not either/or it’s both/and.
Which one stuck out to you? Why?👇🏽
🐅 Due to popular demand a new enrollment for the trenches will be opening soon. Join the waiting list to get a place. Link in bio.
Not only is this an unintelligent and careless misuse of language- it has very real consequences.
It’s a way to force people to have the emotional reaction you want them to- that’s manipulation.
And thanks to this words are losing their meanings.
People are constantly being accused of things they did not do by the purposeful use of inflammatory words.
This has to stop.
Membership opening this month. Link in bio.

When I say things like this people have big emotional reactions. So, I have explained every word.
Accuracy matters.
Reality matters.
Precision of language- especially in mental health- matters.
Not diluting the meaning of words matters.
Not robbing PTSD (and cPTSD) sufferers of their language matters.
Not misinforming people seeking mental health knowledge matters.
Not changing the definitions of important words matters.
The Trenches membership is opening this month. If you want a place to learn about therapy & psychology without misinformation- sign up. Link in bio.

When you learn to think of attachment styles in this way it takes the shame out them.
Your attachment style is an adaption- not a flaw.
If you want to learn more I have a whole course on this in my membership. Link in bio.
Want to learn more? This is from the ‘attachment theory’ course in The Trenches.

And now… let the screaming commence.

Learn to disagree without making it a crisis.
See my last post for a fuller explanation.

Did it ever occur to you that this is a strength not something to pathologise?
Yes, it you completely neglect yourself at every moment only to please others then look at it- but that’s not true for most people.
We just live in a culture that’s obsessed with number 1. Be a rebel, go please someone 😂
This encourages over-empathising in a way that’s both dangerous and patronising.
Think through these ideas before you repeat them.
You safeguard yourself by having common sense boundaries: your parents, friends, boss & strangers on the internet don’t get the same access to you.
If some badly violates your trust you revoke access.
Don’t be cold or overly distrustful- but don’t be naive either.
In case you needed the reminder: it’s not your job to make situations better where you’re being treated poorly.
Debunking some more bad ideas around Insta-therapy boundaries.
NEW membership waiting list in bio.
There are a lot of slogans in insta-therapy land that either get taken out of context, are overly simplistic or just plain unthinking nonsense.
