If you don’t peek under the hood and learn how your buttons can be pressed and used against you, you remain unnecessarily vulnerable to widespread, large scale manipulation

If the AI bubble is really about to burst, I really hope people think about how easy it was to be made to think they had to go along w/ something that didn’t work as advertised, harmed people & the environment, & was doomed to fail anyway How many people were convinced to say “AI is here to stay”

We are towards the end of Unit 3, which is a theory unit like Unit 1. Unit 4 is a tool/practice unit like Unit 2. This time you’ll know enough to practice literally regulating your autonomic nervous system Unit 5 on is straight application: from sleep to conflict resolution

Filming chapter 16 (the opposite of triggers) and working on chapter 17 (self regulation) of the somatic series this week

Does anyone know a place to get a COVID safe eye exam in NYC? I’ll travel anywhere but Staten Island

I wouldn’t be the therapist I am without my sociopolitical values You can’t get the free somatic therapy information part of me without the COVID conscious part of me They are deeply connected

It’s not that COVID is causing autism Autism is genetic. People are born with this neurotype. It’s that Covid is causing dysautonomia aka messing with your autonomic nervous system, which is making autistic sensory challenges worse & emotional regulation harder for *everyone*

And the trauma of it (both having it happen to you & the vicarious trauma of knowing it’s happening to others) is meant to keep us submissive, quiet, afraid, and controlled Our biological stress & fear responses are being purposely used & manipulated bsky.app/profile/quee...

ICE doesn’t care if you are a citizen or not They don’t care if you have an ID, passport, birth certificate etc They might not deport you if you are a citizen, but they will kidnap you and then brutalize & traumatize you before dropping you in a different location

This is also what I’ve been saying about therapists’ role on social media We should be demystifying relevant parts of our profession so lay people can make the most informed decisions regarding their treatment People need to know what quality care looks like vs phoning it in

I really need to write that blog post (& film the video) about what EMDR actually looks like Because too many clients are actually being given talk therapy with some tapping or eye movement on top And these therapists need to be reported and I’m not fucking playing

Has anyone tried both the 3M 6000 series half-face P100s and the Dräger half-face elastomerics? I’m curious about sizing comparisons and would appreciate any feedback/insights/first-hand knowledge

Therapists, case workers, ACT teams, court advocates, syringe exchange, peer & outreach workers, crisis services, resources like pantries/showers Services from nonprofits, community based health organizations, or grant funded hospital programs will likely be affected unless private funders step in

Trump just cut 2000 federal funding/grants, amounting to more than 2 billion dollars, for addiction and mental health programs and treatment Whole programs & departments could be laid off because people get paid directly from grant contracts www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

Found a COVID safe dentist ✅ Now, I need an eye exam And a piercer

Sent the next chapter draft (ch 16) to the editor! So I’ll start filming that soonish

You don’t have to keep watching any death videos. It doesn’t make you more empathic or connected Atp, I’m suspicious of all these news outlets replaying the video & showing us new angles You know what happened already. This is not for your benefit Protect your nervous system

Just tried the black breatheteq head strap masks & I like them as a black aura alternative The mask material itself feels less expensive, the elastic straps feel stronger tho, it’s on the smaller end in terms of fit Still looking for other options, but at $20 for a 5-pack ✅

I love a boat shaped/3-paneled respirator for myself Other than the breathteq & (I think) Zimi, does anyone know other boat shaped respirators I can budget to try out that come in black? I’m trying to eventually only wear black masks. That’s my aesthetic dream

I want to switch into supervising, teaching, and training in my career & its gonna be expensive 😭 I already have diagnostic privileges ✅ I need to become certified in EMDR so I can eventually train other therapists And I need to become a NYS continuing education provider

Georgia therapists: What are your preferred ways to get CEs affordably? What orgs are the best bang for my buck basically?

I’m adding a “How to vet a therapist to do EMDR with” to the queue because I’m hearing too many stories I don’t want to put the diligence on clients, but at the same time, if you aren’t able to see the red flags in how a therapist practices, you could be re-traumatized

🏮🏮🏮HELLO EVERYONE PLEASE RT🏮🏮🏮 I have the ability to get an apartment within the next couple of days. I need to raise at least $400 today and I will most likely be able to get it. PLEASE BOOST THIS IS EXTREMELY URGENT. ko-fi.com/laguerre CA: $ LaguerreK PP: @ KimalahL

Finally this app has bookmarks. That’s 1 of the major reasons I’m barely on here Took long enough

I love being a somatic therapist because it’s like ok wow your week really did suck. I can see why you’re stressed. Aight now get to tapping or something. What? You thought I was gonna let you leave feeling like that? Nope! Start throwing shit or dancing or something

I feel so sorry for Gen Z because the way people treat me in non-professional spaces (ie when they don’t know me as Pierre the therapist) is bananas So insulting, patronizing, & disrespectful because they think I’m in my 20s And it’s worse now than when I was actually in my 20s

"Doing what’s normalized in your career doesn’t always make things ethical" bars! @queeringpsychology.bsky.social

“Your Professional Organization membership is going to expire in 60 Days!” You not tired of being this greedy? The nerve of contacting me during the summer time to press me about money that’s not due until the Fall

So many people are in a rush to seem smarter or better that they aren’t listening to what’s actually needed or being asked of them

This admin can literally send anyone anywhere That’s basically what this will mean. They already deport US citizens so this means they can exile any 1 of us to a labor camp somewhere

Air quality in NYC is gonna be 101 today Good air quality is 50 or under

It’s finally Springtime so I can show you what plantain (the herb, not the fruit) looks like in the wild Like I said earlier, I prefer to harvest it and infuse my own oil because it’s cheaper (feel free to buy the oil or the dried herb in bulk like I mentioned above):

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

It’s my birthday 🥳

I just got approved to accept United Healthcare (Optum) and United Healthcare Medicare Advantage in NY, FL, and GA

THERAPISTS PLEASE stop rushing into doing EMDR with clients you just met It’s at worst re-traumatizing people & scaring them from somatic work AND at best you have someone with less triggers, but no relationship with their bodies & no clear way to manage future traumas & stress

Relatedly, it fascinates me how much doctors, therapists, etc don’t seem to tell parents that autism etc is genetic There is no such thing as 1 autistic person in a fam Whole relatives are scapegoating 1 person when all y’all are twinning all up and down the family tree

You can’t “cure” a neurotype There’s no such thing. That’s just who people are. Erasing an entire group of people for something that they are born with considered a what? When the solution is to erase people & not change the environment/society to suit everyone, something is up

Autism and ADHD are neurotypes. The neurotype you are born with determines how the brain is structured aka how it’s set up and how the brain functions aka how it works There’s nothing inherently wrong. You’re just different, living in a world not suited for you
