it just works (it doesn't it actually takes a long time and you gotta shop around for a therapist u vibe with and it costs a lotta money)

it works for some people :) they should go to therapy :) everyone but me should go to therapy :)

>>87856
yeah. I'd actually want to try it in my community but I feel like campaigning for it would just make me a time wasting loser : (

>>87871
everyone including you should go IF THEY SO CHOOSE.................

>>87872
i don't think trying to correct issues of this scope is loser behavior, but it is a bit of a doomed struggle, i agree

no my friend who is sad HAS to go but i can not go because i am built different :) and because i am scared :)

>>87862
he got a much happier life than he would've had in the wild

>>87875
nah, i think there's another aspect to it that is not just reasoning. it helps to have this human connection. if you don't have a really close friend you can tell anything to, a therapist can be that for you.

>>87875
well and sometimes people can but a little extra is a useful boost. I went to therapy and I'm glad I ended it, I don't think I heard anything I hadn't thought before and I didn't vibe with or trust the therapist, but maybe it helped? maybe it didn't? dunno. I'm a fan of people having good influences though and not saying ya know 'oh if you will you will and if you won't you won't.' I think some people who have better lives like do less drugs or are less self destructive, or there's a percent who don'are helped but people thing 'oh it doesn't help everyone totally it doesn't help'

>>87894
for sure the cultural attitude to DSM labels and diagnoses is fucked. like the trend of labelling everyone who's mean as a narcissist, same kinda feeling. it's too easy to nullify ppls agency with a label and force em into ur silly little brain just cause a person is too scared to like..... agknowledge the person in front of them as human... i feel this

#hug based based based that's the real mental health right there unironically

>>87881
true! I don't think it's as good as a really close friend but there's a term for this in psychology, there's a theory that talk therapy literally doesn't work as described, but just having someone to talk to who is a little interested and nice to you has a good effect, and if it does that's great. Most methods have similar rates of efficacy, but I think DBT and CBT are a little above average

>>87916
ADHD

>>87921
oh interesting. i've thought of this myself before. does this theory have a name?

aaah angel effect or some stupid thing I can't remember ai to the rescue!!!

>>87928
might still help a lil even with schizofraenia if like you're less stressed and the symptoms are a liiiil better just like say good diet. but I don't trust therapists that much ngl

# ai what's the name for the idea in psychology that talk therapies work just for the human contact and that's the main mechanism

>>87926
that's fun. i know about like the dodo bird verdict, but that's just about the general equal efficacy of different approaches

>>87928
idk. as someone who used to struggle with intense emotions for a long time just reading a self-help DBT book helped me a lot haha.

#ai what's the name for the idea in psychology that talk therapies work just for the human contact and that's the main mechanism of change
The idea in psychology that talk therapies work mainly through human contact is known as the "therapeutic relationship" or the "working alliance." This refers to the bond and collaboration between a client and therapist, which is believed to be essential for successful therapy outcomes. Some researchers argue that this therapeutic relationship accounts for a significant portion of the positive changes observed in therapy, regardless of specific techniques or approaches used. what's the name for the idea in psychology that talk therapies work just for the human contact and that's the main mechanism

no dummy

>>87933
probably not. however, most sorts of psychological illnesses have a looping mechanism of some sort. "i'm sad and i know i'm sad and that makes me even more sad aaaah". therapy can help with that!

#ai # ai what's the name for the idea in psychology that talk therapies work just for the human contact and that's the main mechanism. It's somewhat opposed the theories of specific methods, that the therapy itself is not effective, and that explains similar results of contradictory theories. There's a wikipedia page on it.

The concept you are referring to is known as the "Common Factors Theory" in psychology. It suggests that the effectiveness of talk therapies, such as psychotherapy or counseling, lies not in specific techniques or methods used by therapists, but rather in the common elements shared by all effective therapies. These common factors include things like a positive therapeutic relationship between client and therapist, a safe and supportive environment for self-exploration, and mutual trust and understanding.

This theory challenges traditional ideas about therapy being effective due to specific interventions or techniques used by therapists. Instead, it highlights the importance of human connection and empathy in creating meaningful change for clients.

Some researchers argue that this theory supports an integrative approach to therapy, where multiple theories and techniques can be combined based on individual needs rather than adhering strictly to one theoretical framework.

You can learn more about Common Factors Theory on its Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_factors_theory # ai what's the name for the idea in psychology that talk therapies work just for the human contact and that's the main mechanism. It's somewhat opposed the theories of specific methods, that the therapy itself is not effective, and that explains similar results of contradictory theories. There's a wikipedia page on it.

that is normal! however, you can still deal with these feelings in a variety of ways, some of which are more productive.

dummy ai hmph

Ill go ask chat gtp 4. I don't think it's actually totally true. I think the main problem is just that it's reallly hard to change pple : (

>>87939
the entire feeling might not go away, but you might experience it less severely. or you might find that it is only so intense because of the looping aspect, and without it, the problem isn't really there. it's just a passing vibe.

fr. OK crazy idea they should actually use terms like 'I'm so OCD' MORE and people should try to medicalize ALL their feelings and apply proven best practices to even normal ranges of depression

psychology maximalism

>>87964
anon
what if this already happened
and what if the result was BUDDHISM???

everyone's going to be fixed : D

but the core theory of psychology is 'if you're different from others in a way that hurts you you should change it using evidence and consistent interventions' right? or maybe 'if you have a mental atribute which hurts you you should change it' which is better- that's still attatched to the world

>>87972
why not? Have people seriously tried it? like actually being a little dumb and applying the ways to recover from brain damage to themselves for a week? I'm hyped up (for the next 5 minutes then we can have a different fantasy)

>>87974
yeah! I like that approach a lot- describe your problems, fix them in the ways other have fixed them. It's not about the 'problem' being some sin or evil in itself, it's about describing how you want to change and effecting it

>>87978

>>87984
but this would recreate gender roles.....

>>87988
fr fr fr

nah but it's part of being a man and it's a bad thing... There are things I could say about some parts of feminity too...

>>87988
i just keep thinking back to this twitter storm about an author writing a book where all people with y chromosomes got wiped and also purging trans women and like no one even cared that the author's central thesis was that the world became much better because men died off lol. idk, it's sad. it's sad that lots of people don't care if you die and think it'd make the world better.

>>87992
tbf he wasn't passing or anything. It being against his will was too harsh and I'm not going to say anything too crazy

>>87996
nah it was some dumb pretentious book

no yeah i get it. i'm not a man lol so i get it. just thinking about how they might feel sometimes just makes it odd, like with the author of that story.

I think some people are really gendered but some people are more nonbinary and could actually transition or be the wrong gender by birth and be ok if the lifestyle is good, but it's insane and cruel to say everyone is that way and start dismissing people's pain

>>87994
BAN gender roles.......

If you're allowed on youtube no SOUL

yeah it's fan stories yeah fanfiction. I never actually used it my erotic stories taste is low tier

I always liked caption porn but I never liked and was scared by the sissy captions which are the majority of caption porn cause it made me think of people being failures and letting everyone down and women being treated badly in a too real way

it is it is hehehehehe

: D I'm glad you enjoyed it !!!! : D

>>88021
: )
A lot of it comes from too much of a place of eroticized shame for me : (
I guess the area of the brain which lights up for disgust also connects to erotic areas but at least for me it can't be too much.
I'm a lil disapointed in myself for liking slavery/noncon, particularly where they like need to have degrading sex to save the other's life but secretly love each other, so for those who like sissy no worries that others are better than you LOL ; ) and I think that comes from my own fear and shame of relationships as sissies fear femininity but are attracted to it

>>88008
oh and true thouth ofc. I'm happy they can use labels to come together when they're the same but gotta go apart when they aren't the same too

>>88030
>m
yeah. but IDK I think there may be an instinctual attraction to irresponsible sex and like even in a society with ideal gender treatment, people are going to still wish they could have more sex which would be bad for them long term, when they're horny, so it'll develop anyway

>>88035
You're sane. I wish Everyone could love each other but it's a big instinct for me too :/ We'll get there you've good a good heart. Part of why I haven't dated. But I've made peace with that I'll probably be horny for other people and have to hold it in check if my sex drive stays with me.

I just don't think anyone is one person with one set of desires. I think there are a lot of men who do love their wives but get really horny and the love isn't in their mind, and they pursue excitement, and then they cum and don't care about the mistress anymore and love the wife. I think crime and punishment kinda depicted that kinda sad thing. Only solution so far as I know is to have a fairly stable life and not torture yourself but limit really short term hight ruining your life. but I'm prob too repressed who knows

>>88038
LOL read the wikipedia page on that. sounded right.. : (

I'm happy for people who want lots of sex to have it, but if I did I'd want lots of love and be heartbrokenI couldn't have it

>>88028
I worry about that shit too because if I'm a passive I don't think my partner would respect me visa versa nad if I'm ordering my partner around more I think I'd start not respecting them a little, and then they have shit they really need and I'm just mentally going to be like 'hey I shouldn't get ordered around by an object shut up already' and that shit is so toxic. But I think trying to force yourselves to have equal roles might be more painful than the gain it might create.

>>88030
oh true I never thought about the someone else's decision part. I guess that has been the story of a lot of my life too

>>88043
Yeah shit shouldn't be about blame. It should always be about finding the cause of pain and curing it, even if it's 'natural' or 'normal' or 'always been that way.' It could be that women cheating is less curable than male cheating so in that carse they would be justified in responding by minimizing the damage the cheater can do rather than helping them, but I really doubt it

>>88037
and that sounds really cute and nice btw

I like the idea of some kinda low sexuality poly where I have like 3 life partners to raise kids with and support eachother and we're all equal, and don't really have sex, so no one's overloaded and if one leaves or dies you're not all alone. but I don't know if I could really implement that, and someone would get jealous of someone... ofc. that happens in normal monogomy too

it's looooooorrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiii : D :D :D :D :D

did you smile at them in a nice way maybe? that is a lil scary :/

Give them a smile next time maybe! An old japanese guy at the hardware store showed me just the right bolts and nuts I needed to repair my wheelbarrow a week ago thank you old people I know you have good in your hearts even when you get tricked and closed minded a lot <3

it's
>social status is good
>man with lots of sex is powerful and high social status
>woman with lots of sex is powerless and low social status
man having lots of sex good woman having lots bad. Thing is if you're married and they're fucking around they're more likely to abandon you in both cases, and if you're having casual sex it's just going to effect how good the sex is maybe if you have feelings about it, which isn't such a big issue

IKR anal scares me a lot I hate the symbolism of one partner getting pleasure and the other getting discomfort

>>88063
aww

I'm not really dysphoric or anything just kinda gnc. but ofc. I don't want to brainworm anyone

TBH though I'm thinking about my male friends and one is a kinda shy fed who reaaally wants long term realationships and was scared of trans stuff til his sister transitioned. If you'd gotten to him after his breakup he would've been good with u so there's a type. He's a computer science guy IDK there must be another him somewhere

why have sex when you can play video games :D

cause he doesn't really want kids either. ofc. I guess that's a conflict if the tech DOES come out

>>88095
i think the repping might be part of why

>>88097
no but it is in the spirit of me

idk fam just going on hrt made me feel way better even if i look like a man and dress like a man

why do ppl identify as reppers

>>88052
for sure on the last statements. I hope they'll find a healthy way to do it and thrive on poly in general. I try to not shit on ppl being different even if they're failing but yeah I am worried when I hear it

>>88100
so people know they're not men

>>88055
I guess in practicality just making friends with less sexual people and being each other's godparents and helping out your friends particularly if one leaves alread achieves this : )

Honestly having servant in a house really sketches me out too. My sister has money and has a maid who comes over which would kinda scare me to have someone significantly poorer in the house where I and all my stuff are. I was always scared to order from restaurants and buy things from stores as a kid in case the lower class rose up against me

which is kinda funny but IDK I think there's some truth to it

I always grew up using milk

waow that's crazy it's not in the dairy section?

just like heavy cream right?

it's literally cream

#ai does creamer denote cream alternatives made from seed oils? where does the term come from and what is the history of adding things like that to coffee?

No, creamer does not necessarily denote cream alternatives made from seed oils. Creamer can refer to any non-dairy or dairy product that is added to coffee as a substitute for milk or cream.

The term "creamer" originated in the 1950s when companies began marketing powdered or liquid products specifically designed to be added to coffee instead of regular milk or cream. These products were often marketed as being more convenient and longer-lasting than traditional dairy options.

The history of adding things like creamer to coffee dates back centuries, with various cultures around the world having their own unique ways of enhancing the flavor and texture of their coffee drinks. For example, in Europe, people have been using condensed milk since the late 19th century as a sweetener and thickener for their coffee. In Asia, ingredients such as coconut milk and palm sugar are commonly used in traditional coffee preparations.

In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for plant-based alternatives due to dietary restrictions and health concerns surrounding dairy products. This has led to the development of various non-dairy creamers made from sources such as soybeans, almonds, coconuts, and even seeds like sunflower and flaxseed oil. does creamer denote cream alternatives made from seed oils? where does the term come from and what is the history of adding things like that to coffee?

"Ouchi also alleges the boy was bullied by other youths in custody once his gynecomastia symptoms developed. " makes you think about all the other people who develop breasts too and how they're treated : (

whoah! I never heard that!

"Under WPO-3, the mission of the Philippine garrison was to hold the entrance to Manila Bay and deny its use to Japanese naval forces. If the enemy prevailed, the Americans were to hold back the Japanese advance while withdrawing to the Bataan Peninsula, which was recognized as the key to the control of Manila Bay. It was to be defended to the "last extremity".[5] MacArthur assumed command of the Allied army in July 1941 and rejected WPO-3 as defeatist, preferring a more aggressive course of action.[6] He recommended—among other things—a coastal defense strategy that would include the entire archipelago. His recommendations were followed in the plan that was eventually approved"

: (

I dunno if the original plan would've worked though and apparently macarthur went back to it once the japanese punched through his one big line. I kinda assume they only invaded knowing they'd win.

well it was a japanese invasion of the american philipenes

No idea what their planning was like they were kinda insane seemingly because the military was in control and army and navy were political factions which disliked each other, and so the way to power was being pro war and optimistic about war. Kinda like how the nazis couldn't really make hitler hold back or go for peace once the military was sure they were totally fucked like halfway in, or so I've heard, not an expert
