willowed thoughts on Jordon Peterson and trans

He said that the job of the therapist is NOT to affirm the opinion of the patient.

Posted by: Chatterbox Mouse at June 03, 2023 05:56 AM

Agreed. But there's a 'new school' of thought in therapy (which is almost certainly motivated by the profit factor) that says let the patient go on and on and on talking. Don't interject or offer an opinion.

I liked a certain school of psychiatry which came out about a hundred years ago which I called, "I'm okay, you're not." More confrontational. Maybe Peterson is an example of a return to that.

The people that complete the surgery have taken themselves out of the gene pool. Vey sad.

The amount of money needed for the transformation, and the maintenance effort, is sucking health care dollars that could be spent better.

Finally, the suicide rate will increase as the left's promises will not match the bleak reality.

True. That's probably a good thing. It prevents that defective gene from continuing on and perpetuating the "defective" gene pool.
It is said and I don't know how all this mental illness is suddenly everywhere. I have 3 kids in high school and they are surrounded by these mentally unstable people. Like someone said in the movie, being a teenager IS hard and awkward but you grow out of it. It's part of the process everyone goes through. I don't know a single person who didn't have some "issues" in HS but I do know becoming trans isn't the answer.

Not 100 years old, though it seems that long ago:

Cognitive therapy (CT) is a type of psychotherapy developed by American psychiatrist Aaron T. Beck. CT is one therapeutic approach within the larger group of cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) and was first expounded by Beck in the 1960s.

Cognitive therapy is based on the cognitive model, which states that thoughts, feelings and behavior are all connected, and that individuals can move toward overcoming difficulties and meeting their goals by identifying and changing unhelpful or inaccurate thinking, problematic behavior, and distressing emotional responses.

Not this bullshit approach of talk, talk, talk, see you next week, pay the receptionist on the way out.

33 A couple of thoughts:
Finally, the suicide rate will increase as the left's promises will not match the bleak reality.
People typically tend to react in one of two ways when reality hits them. They either accept it or they reject it, but when you throw in hormonal imbalance and mental illness, the resultant output tends to be (more) violent.

...I don't know how all this mental illness is suddenly everywhere.
I think this is the direct result of normalizing errant behavior and condoning it...for political and monetary profit.

Just my opinions, YMMV

Notice that the ideas of cognitive therapy are 180 degrees out of phase with current state of education and workplace.
Poor thinking and inaccurate ideas are supported and in fact celebrated.
Problematic behaviors such as public violence, rudeness, and criminality are dismissed as reparations, or chronic poverty, or culturally acceptable.
Distressing emotional issues get promoted and supported with trigger warnings and the idea that words or ideas are violence.

The more woken one is the more broken.

Morning to all! Lin-duh, I had the same cramp this morning. I didn't stretch in bed which is the usual cause for me, i.e., two opposing muscle groups pulling at the same time. I climbed out of bed and stretched as though I were preparing to work out, and the cramp has faded.

Today is haircut day, though, which means library and a couple of other errands too. I'm beginning NOT to look forward to haircut day; they're all busy-busy. I'd rather waltz out to the library on a non-busy day and take my time shopping for books, wouldn't you?

51 NaCly Dog,
The trans thing is especially alive and well in Austin. My daughter's "friend group" in middle school had at least 2 "non-binary" kids in it. That's about 20+% of the group...
I do believe that the vast majority of these kids/people are indoctrinated into it then their own parents affirm it. Like that one therapist said, it's emotional blackmail telling the parents would you rather have a live "boy/girl" or a dead "boy/girl"?

54 There's something to be said for having a cigar and a scotch while waiting for the barber, then having a good haircut followed by a razor shave and a warm towel. I haven't seen a place like that in 50 years but in my youth, the guy next to the dojo had one. He had magazines like Field and Stream, Sports Illustrated, and Popular Mechanics on the tables and trophy heads of deer and javelina on the walls.

Stirling, who is only a week away from his first anniversary with me, and Dagny, who currently is doing her best impression of a trollop, caught a tiny salamander last night. It got in and I tried to scoop it off the wall so I could toss it out. But it fell, and the predators were on it.

I imagined the salamander crying out, "Avenge me!"

57 So an update on the cord cutting experiment.

I was worried that the antenna that I bought did not have VHF capabilities. But it turns out that everything available here broadcasts on the UHF band.

So...up in the attic went, did some barrel connecting in the cable internet outside box, and wadayaknow...44 channels come pouring into the TV, for free.

Which leads to the realization that the house was built with ethernet cables throughout the house, just not terminated.

So the original router gets moved upstairs, and the second router arrives today, to be placed in access point mode, and we should have wi-fi everywhere inside stately VIA Manor.

There may be a few places like like that left here. Certainly there are small barbershops with older proprietors. The guy who's been cutting my hair since 1979 is a decorated Vietnam vet who started his business in the '70s. He and his business partner, same age, are the only guys in the shop; the rest of the booths are taken up with women who mostly do women's hair styling. But it isn't a fancy setup at all.

71 High school has to be tougher for kids today than in the past. Previously it was a jumping off point to adulthood, you were prepping for college - which didn't happen for everyone, or preparing to go to work full time and perhaps build a career in a skill trade. Now it's no different than "graduating" elementary school, just another Donkey Kong level in a child's video game existence. Layer in the superfluous non core academic material kids are subjected to and it's no wonder they are confused.

I imagine for those who go on to college it's just a more intense experience of the indoctrination. Once all the schooling is over and they leave their bubbles and reality hits, I would think the suicide rate will spike. Those straight out of HS who go to trade schools and get jobs probably have a better shot at a "normal" life.

89 Of barbers, my old guy retired so I took up with a new apprentice in the shop. It was a good first six months of bi-weekly cuts. Kid was professional and quiet, which I like. I make appointments in 4 visit blocks. Three visits ago, he had taken a walk in and I had to wait 10 minutes. Same game the next time. Yesterday when I walked in, he was seating a walk in 5 minutes before my appointment time. I left (to his stunned surprise) and am now back in the hunt for a barber. I am sure I am being labeled a priviedged white guy in the shop (Hispanic owned), but people's attitudes toward time these days, drive me crazy. Appointment? We don't need no stinking appointment. Sad thing is, kid just lost a regular, well tipping customer he may have had for a decade (Lord willing). Probably doesn't care.

I could believe that! I have a pretty simple style: No. 2 all over, block the back. Don't touch the beard or the 'stache. 10 minutes in the chair, and with a tip added, it ends up at about $30.

I'm much the same. I tell the barber, "This will be the easiest job for you today."

Before I re-upped with Flo's Bros for my renter's insurance, I called to be sure they would have covered any loss from the water leaks I had in March et seq. The first "agent" said I wouldn't, that I didn't have flood insurance. When I spoke to the flood insurance guy, he said I would be covered -- that a "flood" is normally taken to be rising waters from *outside* the home. And in my policy, interior water leaks are listed as a "covered peril."

Stop watching Will & Grace, that odious show with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, telling her that Jazz is so brave to transition. She's now 21 and madly in love, with a guy. She wasn't gay, my stepdaughter was basking in having a bisexual child.

107 farmers or companies that have not “allocated” between 25% and 75% of its shares to what the regulations call “blacks,” will be denied access to water.

The consequences will be particularly devastating for the farmers who feed us all. 60% of South Africa’s water resources are currently used by agriculture to grow the food we all eat.

So South Africa is going to starve itself to death to enforce race rules.

Delilah is a house dog and gets to sleep where she wants. She usually spends the night in our bedroom and has an odd line of equity. Normally, she sleeps on the floor next to Her Majesty's side of the bed. If I have to wake up at 2:00 to go to the bathroom, I'll come back and she'll still be there. But if I get up and put my clothes on to go let the puppies out at 5:00, she'll hop up on my side of the bed.

will admit I find the word Oriental as referring to people - weird. I wouldn't call non-Asians "Occidental". Although a lot of y'all are Accidental, let's be honest lol.
Just call us Asian, or East Asian, or Southeast Asian if you want to be sPacific (pun)

It used to be that the Middle East and Far East were called just The East or The Orient, hence The orient Express. So Asiatics were termed Orientals, I never considered that derogatory but similar to European.

Up and at it earlier than usual for a Saturday. Waiting on the boy to get ready. The Scout Troop was invited to run a flag ceremony at a local event. No, not a pride event. No, no rainbow flags.

After that, car repairs. I second the "nothing is as easy as it looks like it will be" sentiment. Nothing is as easy as the dude on YouTube made it look!

201 Today's excessively stupid "Letter to the Editor" from the "NY Post"

Biden may be unsteady on his feet, but he is not unsteady when it comes to governing.

His administration has been responsible for negotiating many impressive bipartisan accomplishments — most recently the successful debt-limit bill that helped the United States to avert default.

Some presidents never trip and fall on the floor. They may be younger or healthier than Biden is.

But they don’t know how to get both parties to work together. Biden and his team have succeeded in making government more bipartisan.

Father Stu - Mark Wahlberg as an unconventional priest (he's really not likable in the beginning, but gets much better)

I watched "What is a Woman?"

A credible and commendable effort by Matt Walsh.

Matt was a good straight man for posing the question. The tap dancing and farting on the part of advocates for a non-specific definition was epic. Many Ibrim Kendi-like circular answers -- wherein the definition relies upon using the very word being defined (check him out for "anti-racist").

Matt's wife nailed it: "A woman is an adult human female (who needs help to open this jar)."

There were several proponents for an open-ended definition in it who engaged in the age old dodge by responding with a question (e.g., "Why do you ask that?") when confronted with a direct question from Matt. Unserious people who were deadly serious about keeping at bay all real world barriers to their milk and mush definitions.
