Freedomain Locals Answers 8 Dec 2023My brother is 27. He has been working as a forklift operator in a warehouse. Despite family support and encouragement he hasn't done much with his life since he finished highschool. He is dating a 32yo woman for a year now. She is single, very attractive, no kids and works in upper management in a corporation and compares to him she is financially successful.This relationship seems unsustainable and I am worried about her true intentions, because of their status incompatibility. I would appreciate your thoughts on that.Recently you said that one of your listeners has a clownish relationship with themselves because they used the expression 'barf my thoughts out'. I have a similar issue of not taking myself seriously, not approaching life with all the respect that it requires. I don't do it all the time, but have a tendency to downplay the importance of my thoughts, in public and to myself, to laugh at things that aren't funny (and to laugh precisely because these things are very serious). Do you have any advice on how to break out of this pattern?Why is going to the strip club worse than watching pornography? They seem to be equally morally abhorrent, except one is sort of out in the open and one is usually kept hidden.Do you have any advice on helping motivate my almost 6 year old to do her schoolwork? We homeschool and she struggles to pay attention to her memory work (she is supposed to memorize two verses a week) and to do her arithmetic practice (it's 100 addition and subtraction problems everyday). Everything else she gets done without issue. Maybe this is just how it is, but if you have any advice for me, it would be much appreciated! Thank youWhat do you think of Daniel Mackler's claim that one ought not have children until they are perfectly healed. Is such a thing even remotely possible?Transcript: https://freedomain.locals.com/post/4997925/can-you-really-help-siblingsJoin the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Get my new series on the Truth About the French Revolution, access to the audiobook for my new book 'Peaceful Parenting,' StefBOT-AI, private livestreams, premium call in shows, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2022
What do “emotionally disturbed” people, poets, artists, and burnt-out therapists all have in common? We're all sick and fucking tired, of what, you might ask? Of the systems that benefit from us STAYING sick and fucking tired. In this episode, you'll hear a piece of spoken-word poetry and condemnation of forced psychiatric hospitalization by Anita D that will rattle the cage of your soul; a vulnerable confession from YouTuber and filmmaker Daniel Mackler about why he quit being a therapist; and a newly released article by Dr. Bruce Levine, a practicing clinical psychologist (and previous Back from the Borderline guest), about how psychiatry's “control freak model” is contributing to the severe emotional suffering and behavioral disturbances it claims to reduce. I'll also analyze the recent viral fame of Oliver Anthony (real name Christopher Anthony Lunsford), whose song “Rich Men of Richmond” has made him an unlikely (and unwilling) star, who has chosen to use his newfound platform to call out politicians on both sides of the aisle for the bastardization of his art and his original message. It is my hope that this episode can validate and vindicate victims of the predatory systems that see us as nothing more than users, customers, consumers, and patients.

Honesty is a necessary ingredient for healing from past traumas, mainly honesty with yourself. If other people become disagreeable because you are learning to understand your self better, do you prefer to fit in and comply with societal norms or are you prepared to sacrifice those things for clarity about who you are and what the actual purpose of your life is? We are all under this spell to a smaller or larger degree. Breaking it is the concern of evey human being.

What does it take for a person interested in helping other people with their mental healing process to becoming a fully-fledged psycho therapist?

Head trauma and emotional trauma. . . this week we take a look. . . with hope and humor. We feature: “Healing Homes”, a feature-length documentary film directed by Daniel Mackler, chronicles the work of the Family Care Foundation in Gothenburg, Sweden — a program which, in an era of multi-drug cocktails and psychiatric diagnoses-for-life, helps people recover from psychosis without medication or labels. “Tumor Boy” is the story of John Healy's experience of being diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 25. More than a decade later, he gives us the wry, short version. If you have a head injury, dyslexia, or long, wordy books just aren't your thing, “Tumor Boy gives you all the fun of reading without having to carry a 3 pound book around for weeks. This hour-long fund drive special is co-hosted by Shelley Berman, Adrienne Lauby and Sheela Gunn Cushman. The post “Healing Homes” and “Tumor Boy” appeared first on KPFA.
