There are so many Australians in my coffeeshop. I suspect they outnumber the Americans, 😶

Omfg I FORGOT ABOUT FIFA WHYYY am I going downtown 😭😭😭

Happy Juneteenth, Lawrence! And also to the extended Lawrence Cinematic Universe!

It's going to be 80° today which... doesn't exactly give me any motivation in going into a 14th-floor office, 🫠

Am I claiming that ALL adoption as practiced in the United States is unethical? Yes, I am. There is no ethical way to participate in a predatory, innately unethical system. Am I further claiming that if you disagree with me, then you don’t know enough about the topic? Also yes.

…and then tell you that should feel grateful that the thing happened to you. There are many ways to force a mother to surrender her child for adoption. One is to confine her to a maternity ward. Another is to take away abortion access and affordable health insurance, housing, and childcare.

🥚 The feeling when the world issues formal apologies for a thing that caused trauma and human rights abuses to a cohort of people you are part of except your own government is incentivizing it as public policy and people of both political parties support it www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Quasi-tempted* to show up to therapy today &say to GVD, "Y'know those dissociated self states / parts / ~multiple personalities~ you've convinced us both that I have... yeah, so. Hobbes thinks you're a crank and/or what we're up to isn't ✨ evidence-based ✨ why aren't we CBTing my trauma away??" 😅

Hobbes’ biases are really on full display in this episode, in terms of what he finds “woo woo” and worth criticizing and what he does not. I hope someday he’ll bother to actually engage with the DSM and what happens when we compare most “regular” mental health interventions to placebo or whatever.

Welp

Explain your @ "THIS IS NOT A LEGAL RECORD" is what's stamped all over the only identifying document I have that does not tell lies about my genealogical origins. It's also (part of) the name of the newsletter I hope to resume writing one day.

🧵 for a list of better books on trauma/recovery than TBKTS. And *this* is what I wish Hobbes had focused on in his posts on here and the podcast episode: that many people- women especially as well as BIPOC clinicians and scholars- did the work first and have been utterly overshadowed by white men.

My 3pm cancelled and I'm so not even the slightest bit upset about it- I got to catch up on emails now and not at 5:30! Also, my covid test was negative so at least it's not that? But still mostly feeling crummy... though a second glass of cold brew kinda helped. Future me might be mad about it tho

Begging the psychoanalysts to set up at least a single page website with their info on it, it's 2026 I cannot just pass on your name and number as a referral 💀😂

Okie I promise I will go back to ignoring dude's existence after this but like. How do we get the "i can do all things through Evidence-Based Best Practice which strengthens me, Peer Review x:x" stans to understand the real limitations of these concepts & "most effective tx" is an impossible metric?

I am not in a position to cancel any sessions between now and my staycation the week after next but... man, I am s t r u g g l i n g today and it doesn't feel like tomorrow or next week will be any better. 🫠

Bigg's killer whales & humpbacks are the two whales seen most often on our tours. If you're lucky, you'll see both on your trip. If you're INSANELY lucky, you'll get them in the same frame!!! Here are highlights from a recent tour near Parksville, BC. Unreal! 🤩 📷: Simon Pidcock, Ocean EcoVentures

"Fundamentalism fails to make contact with the present situation, not because it speaks from beyond every situation, but because it speaks from a situation of the past. It elevates something finite and transitory to infinite and eternal validity." – Tillich

...I only caught last several seconds of this interaction but, oh no bb heron, that's not your rookery!

I wasn't quick enough with my camera but, uhh, seems the juvenile herons need practice in landing smoothly in the tree branches, 😅

I have a three (well, now two) hour break between sessions so y'all know where I am, 😁

Oh, lmao, so Bookshop hiccuped &now I have two of: *Our Time Is Up (novel/quasi memoir[?] about psychoanalysis) *Liftoff: Couch to Barbell (Casey Johnston's weight lifting program *Meals that Heal One Pot (anti inflammatory cookbook) ...if any of y'all would like one of these books, let me know!

Btw, just to be very clear, my critique of Hobbes' critique of TBKTS should in no way be taken as a defense of BVK or TBKTS

!!! (I actually still need to watch the last few seasons, omg)

Per Apple Podcast's auto-transcription... dude refers to DID as "multiple personalities" yet the internet thinks he has more credibility than in-field experts??? 🙃

QRPing because I initially missed this reply until just a couple weeks ago but it's an important point. I would not trust If Books Could Kill to take on academic texts, they're clearly out of their expertise here.

Oh look, it's finally out. Someone wanna send me a transcript I'm mildly curious what shit takes dude has on dissociation/DID (as well as trauma generally) but not actually enough to sit through a 2hr podcast

...oh! I think I forgot to do my Emgality injection on Monday, I should probably do that today 😬

Woke up with a migraine and I have such a weird schedule today: 8am mentor call, 9am session, long break then sessions at 1/2/3pm, short break with my last session at 4:30pm. Someone just yeet me to June 29th already, I so need that two week break! 😭

This might be an unfair take but there's certainly a part of me that isn't sure this apology c/would happen without a woman in the archbishop's seat.

The people who built Seattle died in about 1980, after completing the last major neighborhood buildout in the 1950s. Most everything since has been frosting decorating the single family house zoning cake Cities must grow for the people not yet born or they’re already dying but just don’t know it yet

What a statement.

Yeah, so. Obvi I get why we use phrases like "love doesn't hurt" etc etc to convey the difference btwn safe, healthy relationships &abusive relationships but– &esp wrt parent/child relationships– that's not actually how love/attachment works. It's still love which is partly why it's so hard to leave

I definitely have a migraine brewing but unfortunately that doesn't explain my scratchy throat or random coughing fits, 🫠

This but the Cheezits bag for me 💀

I was "between housing" because my parents (mother) refused to let me stay at their place during school breaks for... extremely dubious reasons.

I should probably go walk around the locks or the lil pocket park but, like. What if I just stayed home and went to bed instead? 🫠

Name a TV show you’re positive no one remembers but you. (...genuinely shocked a gif of this show even exists!)

Start of sesh: Me: I'm sorry I've been so difficult these last few weeks. GVD: I hope it continues. End of sesh: Me: ...it doesn't fill 20min but this [see SS] could've been my Practicum story! GVD: Ahh, so that's what we've been fighting about the last few weeks! Abandonment &disappointment. Me: 🫠

Me, as I start to tell a brief family of origin story: Oh, side note, it bothers me so much that undergrad psych textbooks never refer to Piaget or Erickson etc as the psychoanalysts they were! GVD: I recently watched a YouTuber refer to Winnicott as a 'psychodynamic psychotherapist'. Me: NO.
