A decision to cut off a relationship, esp w/ parents, is typically difficult & nuanced As a family therapist, I don't tell my clients what to do (about anything) Let's focus on the people who have mistreated others: their responsibility, & how their actions have led to consequences such as these
I will not engage in an argument with a stranger on social media!
Day 7 of L2 IFS training--this module's theme is: IFS and Larger Systems: Couples, Families and Groups
I had a dream two nights ago that I moved to Brooklyn and was enrolling in a PhD program for MFT...hmmmm (I have no desire to do either)
Self-disclosure as a therapist is sometimes a slippery slope. (This is the serious part of my post; the next part will be jokey, so TW!) One of my clients was upset to find out I'm okay with drinking room temperature water. I hope this didn't rupture our relationship. (/s) #TherapistHumor
Early COVID mitigations showed us the power of collective action. The environment began to heal. People with disabilities were accommodated. An entire flu strain was eradicated. Folks reconnected with their local communities. We worked together & saved lives.
If you deny that COVID pushed our hospitals to the limit, vaccines work, and healthcare workers are heroes, you should not be allowed to hold public office, let alone lead a health agency.

I'm old enough that 100 years applies--both of my grandmothers were teachers, and that's what I thought I was going to do for much of my younger years. Here I am, as a therapist who loves teaching!
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · 2mo agoEnough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
One of my goals I'm really enjoying: stop smiling out of habit just because others are smiling or seem to expect that of me
Mhm, it's so much noise pollution. Just think of how much quieter our cities could be on electric instead of gas!
Well I'm loving that LinkedIn added "seems like AI slop" to a reaction button on why I don't want to see a post
Capitalism is supported by emotional dysregulation - and "they" say therapy isn't political!
Some of the systemic ways our culture has devalued therapy and therapists: -Terrible pay to therapists (shall we talk about the increase of 1099 positions?) -Therapy speak on social media: people who are not trained therapists sharing opinions, with often incorrect/overgeneralized info (1/3)
Record outbreak of diarrhea-causing parasite 20M eggs recalled due to salmonella Worst air quality in world from wildfire smoke UN says world risks HIV resurgence due to funding cuts Most measles cases in 35 years They’re going after Fauci to distract you from current public health failures
I study sexual violence and I think people would be surprised by how often people still bring up COVID once they know they’re talking to someone who is willing to hear about trauma.
The Fig Economy@figgityfigs.bsky.social · 2mo agoOne of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.
Ah yes, another visualization. I have aphantasia, so this isn't relatable :/
Day 4 of L2 IFS training -- a part of me is very excited to focus on IFS w/ trauma & addictions
