Hello new followers! I am a psychologist in the great state of Ohio. I learned to be a therapist treating Vietnam Veterans. My dissertation is on positive change after trauma. My clients are Veterans, police officers, emergency care workers, and first-responders. And I make memes

You've no idea how many retarded decisions you'd avoid if you knew how to regulate your nervous system.

Fiine, I’ll read Gurdjieff. But only because Jung hated him.

Therapy works if 1) you are a willing participant and want it to work 2) you have a good fit of a therapist who are you comfortable opening up to and challenges you toward change and growth

In college we has `rejection Tuesdays` where you had to try and get rejected. Homies got married left and right
A girl just said she tried to get rejected 1000 times in 2025 and ended up being cast in plays, winning pageants, securing hella paid brand deals, and appearing in commercials.This is your sign to chase rejection to the point of "accidental" success. You'll be surprised.

As a student I attended one of those funny weekend transformation groups with a guy who walked with a limp. Seemed silly until after some Empty Chair work he could run. He gave the instructor his cane saying he didn’t need it anymore. It became one of the first methods I studied.

Psychosocial recovery and rehabilitation considers living medicine. Exercising in groups, eating nutritious community meals, and attending events in communities does more for people with severe mental illness than being handed drugs and sent out a revolving door.
It was more a general question, do medications help people to truly recover or just lead fulfilling lives as long as they keep taking them

Psychoanalysis is a profession centrally concerned with what is not known and, therefore, may have a critical role to play in uncertain, extraordinary times.

Social media is an excellent place to tell people to exercise and eat better for their mental health. It’s good advice. If therapists are giving advice you can google in their consultation room, they probably aren’t doing psychotherapy.
