Damn. Democrats should listen up

Watching this interview is salve for the soul.

Therapy influencers get millions of follows w 1 core message

😇You are a victim & you are a good
😡Someone else is to blame & they are evil

It feels good because it sides with our defenses, not insight & self-awareness

In the long run, it’s a self-destructive & self-defeating

Psychiatrist told my patient she had generalized anxiety disorder & would need to take meds (SSRIs) for life. When she objected, he said the meds were like eyeglasses—she could live without them but would always be handicapped

Symptoms gone after 6 mos psychotherapy & no meds /1

💥Beginning the Treatment💥

When therapy gets stuck, it's usually because therapy started on the wrong foot

Here’s how to start on the right one

why are these flags up on Randall's island? Sickening. I hope taxpayer dollars weren't used to buy these fascist symbols.

How about they spend a bit less time playing candy crush on their phones or arresting people for stickers, and use that time for paperwork 🤔

Public transit is for all, except white supremacist cowards

No wonder cops like NYPD Deputy Commissioner, Operations Kaz Daughtry are doing a horrible job at promoting public safety. Instead, spending their time and taxpayer dollars on the lawlessness of stickers.

I've had SO many (zero) conversations with neighbors about how terrified they were of stickers.

We've learned a few things over the past ~125 years of treating mental/emotional difficulties

At the center of what we’ve learned is that telling people 'exactly what your problem is” solves NOTHING

Psychological illiteracy on social media has truly reached epic proportions

We can all learn so much from young people.

'In 1996 NIMH began shifting its [..] resources from clinical studies to basic research based on the promise of the Human Genome Project. 3 decades later [..] investment has yielded almost nothing clinically useful [we should] review NIMH`s schizophrenia research portfolio.'

Despicable.

Three years ago, I got some footage that I couldn’t get out of my mind.

It showed the first police killing captured on body-worn cameras in NY.

The NYPD didn’t want anyone to see it.

It eventually launched me on the biggest story I’ve ever done, w/ NYT Magazine

I just read '_ 's AI chatbot is clinically proven to create a therapeutic alliance at par with human therapists within the first week'. What. Utter. Bullshit.

1/ Patients come to us as they are & that’s where we meet them. Our job is to put into words what they cannot & so invite their curiosity & self-reflection. E.g.: “You’re letting me know you’re not sure you can trust me. And there’s no reason you should—I am a stranger to you…

This is one reason I object to using the terms 'psychological defenses' and 'coping strategies' interchangeably

The word 'strategies' connotes something that is intentional, conscious, and planned. But psychological defenses operate automatically and without conscious awareness
