  1. A quotation from Kerry Greenwood

    Enough of this … I am not cut out to be a guide to youth. I think youth can get itself into enough trouble without my help, don’t you, Youth?

    Kerry Greenwood (b. 1954) Australian author and lawyer
    Phryne Fisher No. 13, The Castlemaine Murders, ch. 4 (2003)

  2. TL;DR: "Psychologist" is a problematic term

    Psychology has had a #terminology problem for 100+ years, repurposing natural-language terms which then feed back into popular usage and are now ambiguous or poorly defined. In my opinion one of the worst problems here is #Psychology and #Psychologist.

    What do you think of when you hear "A psychologist said..."? A researcher? A clinician? Something else?

    Imagine if M.D.s were called "biologists", structural engineers were called "physicists," or attorneys were called "philosophers."

    Okay the last one is a stretch.

    My point is that, in other fields, there are distinct terms for the people generating domain-specific knowledge and those applying that knowledge. In psychology we don't have that; both a researcher studying cognition and a therapist doing CBT are called "psychologist," despite having radically different jobs and different relationships to knowledge about human behavior & brains.

    This won't change anything, because I'm just some tiny-college prof, and I am aware that there have been multiple attempts to fix psychology's terminology problems in the past. Nevertheless, here is my proposal, to the Gods of Language:

    Psychology researcher: Psychologist
    Psychology practitioner: Psychologer

    Although I claim no restrictive copyright on the second term or this system, any gratitude-based donations can be sent to my personal PayPal.

    And under no circumstances trust your personal life to a bunch of YouTube videos or simillair things. Life is much more nuanced than a video can depict and explain. Resulting in false assumption which might ruin it.

  7. WHY FORGIVENESS IS THE F-WORD:
    -Hijacked by religion
    -Weaponized by abusers to enforce compliance
    -Victim blaming "Why can't you just forgive?"
    Instead, ACCEPT REALITY by asking:
    What happened? Who did it? Is it a pattern?
    Then use that knowledge to make appropriate choices - including whether to give the guilty party continued access to your life. #forgiveness #abuse #ReligiousTrauma #wisdom #reality #criticalthinking #exchristian #psychology #counselor

  9. "When you shut down emotion you're also affecting your #immunesystem , your #nervousSystem .
    So the #repression of emotion,
    which is a survival strategy, then becomes a source of physiological #illness later on."

  11. So many cool things happened yesterday that they need separate threads.

    I had a meeting with my #school #counselor and we made a plan for the next couple of years.

    I won’t be able to enter the #nursing program until 2025 most likely. However, I will be able to work as a #CNA while taking required courses and build work history.

    For the first time in a very long time I feel like I have a #future.
