To all those brave enough to seek help and engage in the vulnerable process of opening up in therapy: Happy National Psychotherapy Day!

The Gloria Films are 60 years old today. Raise a glass if this was an enjoyable part of your psychotherapy training.

How much should you tip your therapist? Zero. At least not in monetary form, but you can discuss your gratitude. This is the talking cure, after all. I always enjoy discovering a current article referencing a blog I wrote many years ago. interestingfacts.com/people-you-n...

“You don’t like AI therapists because they’re a threat to your income” No, I don’t like AI therapists because they are harmful!

The Paul Giamatti episode of #BlackMirror, "Eulogy" (S7.E5), is a beautiful glimpse at the complexity of grief. Must watch. www.google.com/url?sa=i&url...

TV Maker #1: We're flashing to someone at two different ages in their life. How can we let the audience know they're the same person? TV Maker #2: Simple. Give them the same style of glasses. EVERY. SHOW. EVER.

Say what you want about Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, but their piped-in shopping music soundtrack is second to none. 🎸

Yes, professor. I learned about the concept of "kakistocracy" from the primary source: #TheRaconteurs (2006) youtu.be/Jk7lKdCzKEo?...

When I first heard Tyrion say "I drink and I know things...", I knew I'd be seeing that on t-shirts for years to come. Mark the date. Henceforth, we will see and hear Milchick say "Devour feculence" #GOT #Severance

"Don't put coffee up your butt" was not the kind of fatherly wisdom I thought I'd be sharing with my kids. Thanks to pseudoscience grifters, I suppose I have to. Great talk with @jonathanstea.bsky.social for this Psychotherapy Networker article! www.psychotherapynetworker.org/article/is-t...

Don't feel like reading this @huffpost.com article featuring some quotes from me? Fine. Whatever. www.huffpost.com/entry/6-of-t...

Maybe my Outie lives in a democracy that values humanitarianism. 🙏 #Severance

My close friend Paul helped save his thrift store in Altadena. A little good news for a community in turmoil. anabaptistworld.org/an-oasis-in-...

I didn't really think of my book as a New Year's Resolution-type book, but I think it fits. Thank you @orringrey.com! earlybirdbooks.com/new-years-re...

"If gentle inquiries about the origins of the silence fail ... a therapist might wish to say, 'Maybe you'd prefer to sit in silence together for a while.' The therapist conveys not only acceptance of the silence but also a message that the patient is not alone during the silence." - Glen Gabbard

A timely article on how to cope when the world burns down, featuring quotes from @drjessigold.bsky.social, myself, and several others therapists on @wondermind.bsky.social. www.wondermind.com/article/cope...

Finally deleted my account from the bad place. You know, the place with paranoia, in-group bias, and NIMBY sentiments that foster animosity. It was the "someone walked down my street who doesn't belong" posts that sealed the deal for me. Good riddance, #Nextdoor.

Wishing you all a weekend that is as painless and peaceful as the last 4 rounds of that fight. 🕊️
