“Religion, generally, is a protection against the experience of God” -C.G. Jung

“Love itself is a pain you might say. It’s the pain of being truly alive” - Joseph Campbell

Watching the “inside the manosphere” documentary. I already know I’ll be writing about this.

“To see life as a poem, yourself as participating in a poem, is what myth does to you” -Joseph Campbell

At some point in time, other people’s disappointment stops getting to make decisions for you #mentalhealth

Indifference is sometimes a result of burnout, sometimes privilege, and sometimes unconscious fear. But always, whether healed or confronted, it is a thing to be addressed

The antidote to your anxiety is NOT control (or the illusion thereof)

War is an easy thing to celebrate or speak flippantly about when you’ve never been to one. #VeteranHotTakes #IranWar #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

You can tell a lot about the health of a relationship by how much difference is allowed and in what areas #mentalhealth #relationships

A great deal of what we label as pathology is in fact, us being cut off from our full humanity. When we internalize the idea that part of us is inherently “bad” or needs to be suppressed, we shut down an essential avenue to health. #humanisticpsychology #mentalhealth

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Keep. Hope. Alive

Rest in Peace Rev. Jesse Jackson

Why myth is so important right now - Resonance Therapy Understanding the human connection to myth is critical both to engaging with our current cultural moment as well as our own mental health

On myth, our cultural moment, and #mentalhealth

If you threaten people with death for pointing out that your power has limits, you don’t belong anywhere near a position of power #DonaldTrump

Some y’all don’t know what the word “sedition” means or understand the oath we take when we join the military and the fact that you’re the commander in chief is embarrassing for everyone 😐🤨 #trump #sedition #unlawfulorders

Without a framework of myth to orient our lives to, we become isolated not only from the culture around us, but to the most vital parts of ourselves as well. #humanisticpsychology #existentialtherapy #mentalhealthawareness #myth

“Live consists of living in contradictions; and the person who forgets that is doomed to live in a make believe world” -Rollo May

There is a great deal in our culture that we attribute to individual mental health and is in fact much larger and more systemic The loss of myth, has unfolded into the loss of ourselves. And the cost is not only us, but those around us who are touched by our lives.

“Myth gives us our sense of personal identity, answering the question: ‘who am I?’…second, myths make possible our sense of community”

-Rollo May, The Cry for Myth

Live and speak the way you want to be remembered

Gun violence and death are not merely “the price we must pay to keep the second amendment”. Not when it’s somebody’s child. Not even when it’s someone who supports gun violence. #charliekirk

What good therapists do

“The purpose of psychotherapeutic is to set people free” -Rollo May

I would contend that that includes setting them free from the cultural constraints and expectations that we as therapists often unknowingly bring into the therapeutic endeavor

It is one of the most tragic aspects of America that those who decide to go to war are never at risk of actually having to fight one #trump #IranStrikes #veterantake

To sit with a human as they heal is a sacred business #therapy

250 years ago brave humans banded together to say “f*ck the king” and became the United States Army.

Proud to have been part of this lineage. Happy Birthday #usarmy #FDT #Army250 #nokingsinamerica #NoKingsDay
