Trauma is a crucial aspect of addiction treatment, often serving as the underlying cause for substance use. In this illuminating interview with trauma therapist Dr. Jessica Cooper, we explore the mechanics of trauma therapy and how it helps people heal from devastating experiences.• Breaking down trauma therapy into three essential phases: establishing safety, processing memories, and reconnection/integration• Understanding how childhood trauma creates patterns that can lead to re-traumatization in adulthood• Exploring the "fawn" trauma response (people-pleasing) alongside the better-known fight/flight/freeze responses• Examining the differences in approach between single-incident trauma vs. complex, repeated trauma• Creating a trauma timeline with "stones" (traumatic events) and "flowers" (protective factors)• Processing traumatic memories through multiple perspectives: factual, sensory, emotional, and belief-based• Recognizing signs of healing while understanding recovery is non-linear• Using creative expression as a powerful tool in trauma recovery• Developing a collaborative approach to trauma treatmentTo contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Interpreting Neural Networks through the Polytope Lens, published by Sid Black on September 23, 2022 on LessWrong. Sid Black, Lee Sharkey, Leo Grinsztajn, Eric Winsor, Dan Braun, Jacob Merizian, Kip Parker, Carlos Ramón Guevara, Beren Millidge, Gabriel Alfour, Connor Leahy equal contribution Research from Conjecture. This post benefited from feedback from many staff at Conjecture including Adam Shimi, Nicholas Kees Dupuis, Dan Clothiaux, Kyle McDonell. Additionally, the post also benefited from inputs from Jessica Cooper, Eliezer Yudkowsky, Neel Nanda, Andrei Alexandru, Ethan Perez, Jan Hendrik Kirchner, Chris Olah, Nelson Elhage, David Lindner, Evan R Murphy, Tom McGrath, Martin Wattenberg, Johannes Treutlein, Spencer Becker-Kahn, Leo Gao, John Wentworth, and Paul Christiano and from discussions with many other colleagues working on interpretability. Summary Mechanistic interpretability aims to explain what a neural network has learned at a nuts-and-bolts level. What are the fundamental primitives of neural network representations? What basic objects should we use to describe the operation of neural networks mechanistically? Previous mechanistic descriptions have used individual neurons or their linear combinations to understand the representations a network has learned. But there are clues that neurons and their linear combinations are not the correct fundamental units of description - directions cannot describe how neural networks use nonlinearities to structure their representations. Moreover, many instances of individual neurons and their combinations are polysemantic (i.e. they have multiple unrelated meanings). Polysemanticity makes interpreting the network in terms of neurons or directions challenging since we can no longer assign a specific feature to a neural unit. In order to find a basic unit of description that doesn't suffer from these problems, we zoom in beyond just directions to study the way that piecewise linear activation functions (such as ReLU) partition the activation space into numerous discrete polytopes. We call this perspective the ‘polytope lens'. Although this view introduces new challenges, we think they are surmountable and that more careful consideration of the impact of nonlinearities is necessary in order to build better high-level abstractions for a mechanistic understanding of neural networks. The polytope lens makes concrete predictions about the behavior of neural networks, which we evaluate through experiments on both convolutional image classifiers and language models. Specifically, we show that polytopes can be used to identify monosemantic regions of activation space (while directions are not in general monosemantic) and that the density of polytope boundaries reflect semantic boundaries. We also outline a vision for what mechanistic interpretability might look like through the polytope lens. Introduction How should we carve a neural network at the joints? Traditionally, mechanistic descriptions of neural circuits have been posed in terms of neurons, or linear combinations of neurons also known as ‘directions'. Describing networks in terms of these neurons and directions has let us understand a surprising amount about what they've learned (Cammarata et al., 2020). But these descriptions often possess undesirable properties - such as polysemanticity and inability to account for nonlinearity - which suggest to us that they don't always carve a network at its joints. If not neurons or directions, then what should be the fundamental unit of a mechanistic description of what a neural network has learned? Ideally, we would want a description in terms of some object that throws away unnecessary details about the internal structure of a neural network while simultaneously retaining what's important. In other words, we'd like a less ‘...

Givers, Doers, & Thinkers—A Podcast on Philanthropy and Civil Society
This week on Givers, Doers, & Thinkers, Jeremy sits down with theologian and journalist Rusty Reno about how and why the strong gods are reappearing in American society and what that means for our common future.R.R. Reno is the editor of First Things, a journal of religion and public life, and serves on the board of advisers of the Edmund Burke Foundation. After earning his doctorate in religious studies from Yale, he taught theology at Creighton University for twenty years. He is the author of several books, including Genesis: A Theological Commentary, Fighting the Noonday Devil, and Resurrecting the Idea of a Christian Society.To kick start the conversation, Jeremy discusses Rusty's recent book, Return of the Strong Gods: Nationalism, Populism, and the Future of the West. How do we devote ourselves to something greater than ourselves? Rusty outlines what these strong (and weak) gods are. He also touches on hot topics like woke culture, true justice, and the crisis in Ukraine. To close, they discuss the danger of half-truths and the pride of America.Jessica Cooper is a consultant with American Philanthropic and has extensive experience with government grants.

Craig's guest is Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald. She defeated former three term prosecutor Jessica Cooper in the Democratic primary, and won the general election over Republican Lin Goetz in November. Since taking office in January, McDonald is making some some changes in the office, especially as it relates to how the office will handle human trafficking cases. She also is revisiting the sentencing of 20 so called "juvenile lifers" The Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that a sentence of life without parole for juvenile offenders was unconstitutional, yet many prosecutors in Michigan had been dragging their feet on resentencing these individuals until a 2019 SCOTUS ruling reaffirmed the order.
When it comes to the wellness conversation, perhaps no one is better suited to talk about its relationship to the built environment than our newest advisory board member, Jessica Cooper. In this episode, Jessica discusses how her work at the International WELL Building Institute is helping to impact change at a massive scale and where she sees the trend headed in the years to come. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/iandsdesign/support
Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: It’s official – the United States economy has endured the largest decline since the invention of modern statistics. How’s your week going? Meanwhile, Donald Trump doubles down on a threat to push back the date of the November election. Other Republicans aren’t quite sold on that idea – not yet, anyway. And lastly: Funeral services were held in Atlanta for the late Congressman John Lewis. In his eulogy for the late civil rights leader, former president Barack Obama called on Americans to summon Lewis’s courage for the struggles ahead. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: It seems the economists who warned of a Greater Depression were not off-base. The US economy shrank by nine point five percent in the last quarter, measured by Gross Domestic Product and as reported by the Department of Commerce. That’s one point eight trillion dollars worth of economic activity gone. At an annualized rate, which is the standard way of reporting these figures, the drop was closer to thirty-three percent. It’s the largest recorded GDP decline ever. But there are other ways to measure the economy. And they don’t look good either. For the nineteenth week in a row, new unemployment claims exceeded one million. New claims for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, a program intended to cover freelancers and other workers who aren’t eligible for traditional unemployment benefits, totaled eight hundred and thirty thousand, according to the New York Times. Consumer spending dropped by over ten percent, the largest drop on record by far. The stock markets fell too. And according to Bloomberg News, thirty million Americans reported that they hadn’t gotten enough food to eat at some point in the week ending July 21. That represents approximately one in ten Americans going hungry, at least for a while. Five million of those surveyed by the Census Bureau said they were often without enough food. Millions more are facing eviction. Ananya Roy, director of the Institute on Inequality and Democracy at the University of California, Los Angeles, told the Guardian that the scale of eviction and mass displacement was almost unimaginable. According to Roy, QUOTE This will be worse than the Great Depression ENDQUOTE. Activists are calling on state leaders to cancel rent-related debts and keep people in their homes. In the meantime, they’re taking action with or without the help of elected leaders. In New Orleans, housing justice activists surrounded and effectively shut down a municipal courthouse where evictions are processed. It’s a start. This week has been a very long year, folks. Trump Threatens Election Delay Donald Trump said on Twitter yesterday morning that he might try to change the date of the November general election. Before proposing an unspecified delay, he said that mail-in voting would make 2020 QUOTE the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history...[and] a great embarrassment to the USA, ENDQUOTE. Legally, the date of the election is not something Trump can do. The date is set by the Constitution and only Congress has the power to change it. But the record of his first term shows that Trump’s Republican Party cares more about holding power than following the law. Many Congressional Republicans suggested Trump was joking. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky told a local television station that the country has voted as scheduled through wars and depressions and that QUOTE we’ll find a way to do that again this November 3, ENDQUOTE. As election experts interviewed by the Washington Post pointed out, there are other things Trump can do to muck with the process as well as the result. Rick Hansen, a professor of law and political science at UC-Irvine, suggested Trump could claim emergency powers to keep people in cities from going to polling places in person. Or, Hansen said, Trump could pressure state legislatures to take voting for president away from citizens entirely in the name of public safety. That is to say, state lawmakers could select presidential electors without direct public input, as they did prior to 1824 – and this would be, theoretically, constitutional. Like I said, it’s gonna be a looooong year. Obama Eulogizes John Lewis A litany of American dignitaries attended the funeral services for the late Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis yesterday. Lewis helped organize the 1963 March on Washington with the Reverand Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior. He joined Congress in 1987 and represented Georgia in the US House until his death two weeks ago today. He was eighty years old. Lewis lay in state this week after a horse-drawn carriage carried his casket over the bridge in Selma, Alabama where police attacked civil rights marchers on Bloody Sunday – March 7, 1965. Yesterday’s services were held at Doctor King’s church, Ebenezer Baptist in Atlanta, Georgia. Speakers at the service honoring Lewis yesterday included former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Jimmy Carter offered a written rememberance. Trump did not attend. Delivering his eulogy, Obama asked Americans to imagine the courage of young Lewis as he challenged an entire infrastructure of oppression through non-violent civil disobedience. He also called Lewis one of the founding fathers of a fuller, fairer, better America. Obama’s eulogy was also a call to action. He said QUOTE Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community, a nation and world society at peace with itself ENDQUOTE. Rest in power, Congressman. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: The Associated Press analyzed the more than two hundred arrest records related from the protests in Portland, Oregon. They found that most of the protesters were not engaged in violent conduct before their arrests. Ninety-five percent were local residents, contradicting police claims of a transcontiental conspiracy. The vast majority had no criminal record, and the average age was twenty-eight. Keep up the good work, kids. Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has died after contracting COVID-19. Reports suggested he may have contracted the disease at a Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in June, where he and others refused to wear masks. Cain was seventy-four. A fifteen-year-old girl in Michigan who was jailed because she didn’t do her homework may be released soon. The girl, known has Grace, has been in juvenile lockup since May. Her lawyers asked for an emergency hearing on Monday. According to ProPublica, prosecutor Jessica Cooper has reversed her position and now supports Grace’s release. Cooper is up for reelection next week. Lawmakers from more than a dozen countries decried the obstruction of the democratic process in Hong Kong, the South China Morning News reported. The international group, led by Republican US Senator Marco Rubio and Britain’s Conservative leader, Iain Duncan Smith, condemned the government’s decision to disqualify twelve opposition candidates from upcoming Legislative Council elections. Four of those disqualified under a new national security law are incumbents. Meanwhile, several Hong Kong media outlets reported the government might delay the election for a year. How about that. That’s all for the AM Quickie. Join us this afternoon on the Majority Report.

For the children who grew up in Tony and Susan Alamo's cult, the promise of salvation turned into a pathway to Hell. Host Amanda Knox looks into the brainwashing and abuse children faced while growing up in Tony and Susan Alamo's cult, with former members Rebecca Gay, Jessica Cooper and Benjamin Rishi as guests.
Behind the cover of their religious status in the 1970s, Tony and Susan Alamo were running a criminal enterprise. Amanda Knox, former members and experts detail the fraudulent business empire that paralleled and amplified the Alamos' coercive cult control tactics. Guests include former members Carey Miller and Jessica Cooper, expert and author Debby Schriver, and Ministry of Evil docu-series producers Fenton Bailey, Leslie Mattingly and Eleanor West.
Here on the Child Safety Source, we always aim to help protect children from harm. Our Child Safety Source series typically sits down to interview pool safety experts. Today, we're doing something a little bit different. Let's take a quick step away from the water to discuss oral hygiene with dental hygienist, Jessica Cooper. For a change of pace, this episode will include both an interview and some live demonstrations. As always, our own Eric Lupton is pleased to join Jessica Cooper for an in-depth conversation about her particular area of expertise. Additionally, viewers will learn an awesome new technique to brush and floss a toddler's teeth. Along the way, Jessica Cooper will be answering all of our viewers questions. This was a lot of fun and we're glad that Jessica took the time to join us. You can watch Eric and Jessica's conversation and the toddler tooth brushing demonstration right here: https://youtu.be/OQ1Ob7OhJPI
The Terok Nor trilogy is complete, as Sam, Jack, and Kevin dive headfirst into this heavy episode about Major Kira’s mother and her affair with Dukat during the Cardassian occupation. Special guest Jess Cooper brings exciting insight into morality levels of wartime collaborators, Cardassian chauvinism, and bizarre Bajoran dress designs. It’s a heavy episode and a heavy discussion, but that won’t stop us from taking needless detours into discussions about other things like Dragon Ball, Battlestar Galactica, and eating raw beef. Like Kira Meru to Dukat’s charms, you’ll be powerless to this episode, and will willingly give yourself over to its wiles.
Come celebrate the new year with the RTW crew! In honor of the 50th anniversary of one of their favorite Star Trek episodes, The Trouble with Tribbles, original series fan Jessica Cooper joins them to talk about its nostalgic and loving DS9 tribute, Trials and Tribble-ations. They geek out as much about this delightful love letter to Trek as Dax does about being on the original enterprise. Also included: another long conversation about the lunacy of most of the technologies in Star Trek. It’s a trip down memory lane you won’t want to miss!
