Random Thoughts From A Therapist
by Kurt LaRose and TalkifUwant
Random thoughts from a therapist, an expert in clinical hypnosis, a counselor and an author by trade taking a view that is not about right, wrong, good or bad. Here Kurt LaRose (from TalkifUwant.com) attempts to move away from black or white thinking where absolutist binds CAN aid in "mental illness" formulation. There is good in all of us - where matters of safety are exceptions. From religion, sex, politics, love, death, moms, dads and "just life" - something here may tickle your biases a bit. Using snark, with new and old psychobabblejabble - this is my voice. https://TalkifUwant.com

"Major Military Actions" and the Declaration of War?
The war with Iran has not ever been declared - yet we all keep talking about it. In this podcast I take a snarky view of the war, how it is we got here and what happens if the law is broken by not only the President but the majority members of Congress. As I thought it over a bit, I was shocked...

There's plenty of money out there: World Cup, Courtrooms, Wars.

Treating trans youth and new abuse reporting laws... at least one provider is scared.
Laws that require mental health providers to report families of gender affirming care for minors are too controversial. Mental health treatment doesn't really have to happen in courtrooms or in politics. Treatment could be holistic, all inclusive, documented, ethical, professional and science...

The infrastructure bill that was bipartisan may explain a subconscious way that you and I miss facts
A bipartisan bill that promised to pay for itself was passed yesterday. As the details come out it becomes more and more clear that what was said and what was done do not align. It could be "politics as usual" but doesn't that mean we've normalized deception? My point here, in Random Thoughts…

Wearing masks is political?
Masks have kind of made their way into the political circles. It's like a subtle way, wearing a mask or not wearing one, to say I lean left or I lean right. Maybe it's just the display of obedience or rebellion? I have a political opinion, but I wouldn't share it with a mask. There's too many…

Feeling down and looking up!
Feelings and thoughts and actions occur. These can be viewed as negative, bad, wrong or in some other pejorative phrase. The judgment if "negative" itself is a bias, "bad" is a bias and "wrong" is too (well, outside of actual safety anyway). The good news is that biases can change. How? By…

Guns and straws. As the US returns to normal following a series of mass shootings now this: straws.
As traumatic events continue to hit the American psyche the divide over guns remains stuck. Agreement about plastic straws certainly is not evident in the US though. Collectively saving the sea turtles and recycling straws or sucking through mushy melting paper ones seems to be gaining ground…

Pride has been villified as a concept long enough. Interestingly, healthy people have a bit of it!

Did Mueller do a good job for $30,000,000? Where could that money be now?
