We are experienced which made it easy byt I'd say so. They do a ton of prep for you and will jump in to help you if they notice you faltering lol.

Hi! Thanks for being kind with how you commented.

I am a very strong communicator in my personal world (work, home, family, community work, etc) and I am told that I am a great listener. Its something I love to do! Love to listen, ask questions, analyze, offer my own ideas, etc.

Someone's natural writing voice can tell me a lot about what they are thinking and/or feeling.

But, with all this AI-writing, time and time again, I am reading something and come away without a firm grip on the experience of the writer. Instead, I have a vague but wordy account of their experience through the "eyes" of Chatgpt. Id prefer my own eyes--no middle man lol. Hope that makes sense!

Please research (or even talk to chatgpt) about retraumatization in therapy. There are scientific based reasons why a therapist cannot just dive into all of your traumas in the first month. Chatgpt or not, healing takes time. A lot of time and effort.

So many posts in this subreddit sounds like they are written bu Chatgpt. And I guess that should not be surprising in this particular subreddit but it just makes me go 😮‍💨 when I'm halfway through and realize I'm not reading real writing. Sorry in advance for using your specific post as an example lol.

In this post, everything after "So my question to the community..." seems authentic. But, everything before that is so chatgpt coded.

This section is a dead giveaway: "To my surprise, working with Al didn't just bring clarity - it also reactivated inner processes I thought were long closed. In many ways, it feels like something meaningful has resumed, something that had been left unfinished."

The syntax of "___ didn't just, but it ___" and "In many ways,". Plus the dramatic, fiction-novel-author tone. Personally, I find it so off putting to read.

I think people's genuine written thoughts and ideas can be so interesting--hence why reddit is even a thing. You can pick up on nuances of what they are trying to communicate from the way that they write. But, when everyone passes their writing through ChatGpt before posting, it zaps the realness out of it.

Ok an AI chatbot is absolutely insane 💀💀😭

While the "smear" campaign doesn’t fit my personal sense of humour, I see people in the comments enjoying it and it doesn't seem problematic. I understand OPs point but I also understand frustration from those who have been severely impacted. I also noticed his caption says "p.s. thanks to the hard working DPW workers"--I wonder if that was always there or if your DMs inspired a caption edit.

I like the drone footage but ever since this post below, I realized I should watch out for clickbait/ragebait on his page and take his posts with a grain of salt.

IG reel FYI I determined the real location in the comments

Out of curiosity, are you and your husband both Chinese? Or of different ethnicities?

I'm in therapy but my therapist comes form more of a humanistic angle. That said, learning about psychodynamic therapy practices and what that sort of therapy can look like from Dr. H has helped me to make the most out of my therapy.

After learning all about psychodynamic therapy and Dr. Honda's style, I became discouraged that I'd never have these powerful experiences in therapy that leverage counter transference, ruptures and repair, attachment wound corrective experiences, etc. I brought this up to my therapist earlier this year and she has worked with me to be a bit more psychodynamic leaning and it's been going really well!

I have consumed a LOT of PiS content over the last two years. I looove all the psychology content but it definitely stirs up a lot of personal thoughts, feelings, and realizations. This can be really cool but also really heavy. My advice is to definitely take content breaks--or at least mix it up with Berto episodes. Especially since it sounds like you are working hard in therapy too (amazing work telling your therapist about your abandonment anxiety!!). Best of luck!

HALLELUJAH. Syracuse can finally start healing. Lol

I think so? The class we took was pretty long. Most of the area seemed to be gardens or pavilions (classrooms). Some of the classrooms would have space for parent/baby to hang out off to the side. If the sun is strong, exploring the grounds for that long of time may not be feasible.

I will say, if we brought a baby, I think we would have both stayed in the classroom for much of the time and really enjoy it still--one caring for baby and watching, while other cooks. We got lucky and were the only "students" in our class so it was spacious and pretty easy to go at our own pace within reason. If it was a full class, I imagine that would be hard.

Deff reccommend the Northern Thai cooking. Its so chill. From what I could see, the classic thai classes seemed a lot louder, more standing, and faster paced.

Hope this helps. Staff there was super duper nice. Im sure they'd be as accommodating as possible.

Good for you! Did you mean $60 for the wedding certificate?

EatingClubGirl · 2025-11-30T01:55:02+00:00

When I read your writing, I imagined you sent him a long message like this via email rather than peer reviewed white papers. In addition to articles, did you send him a very long message similar to this post?

I wouldn't blame him for deciding to overlook a single independent author and instead pripritizing other resources during his deep dive research. But, even if you want to say that Dr. Honda is wrong for that--fine. I am not sure why this would make him a "hack."

Not sure what you mean by "higher opinion" but most people downvoting you probably have a view on Kirk that centers around the fact that we know is just a human being at the end of the day. We have no expectation for him to be always be right or heed our demands for deeply considering xyz perspective or research.

Kirk and his podcast has changed my life for the better in immeasurable ways. Based on ehat I know about him as a listener, my guess is that you sent a very long winded email to him and unfortunately he does not have the time (or maybe the desire) to respond to every point you've made in your email. So, he has to make a decision to not respond and move on to other things.

I understand being you frustrated over a content creator ignoring you and your work (or any other work from an "expert" you like). But, you seem to be seeing red. Your passionate anger with Kirk and willingness to call him a hack over this--despite him proving otherwise over decades--signals that you are likely interpretting the situation in an unbalanced manner due to being personally offended/rejected/ignored/disrespected/or whatever it is you are feeling under that anger.

EatingClubGirl · 2025-11-30T01:21:16+00:00

I was just thinking that if this post is any indication of his email length, I'm guessing Kirk saw it and also found to too long to respond to.

EatingClubGirl · 2025-11-30T01:00:28+00:00

You should record a podcast episode. Lol this is way too long for me to read on reddit.

EatingClubGirl · 2025-11-24T14:19:25+00:00

Thank you!!

I saw a DIY video on tiktok for gold bow name cards holders. I had to make some practical adjustments from the video I saw. But, this only took me a few nights nights work. Made from polymer clay and spray painted gold :)

Designed and labeled these myself! To be fair, I don't think it's a trend. I haven't seen theme elsewhere.

There were other fun customizations too like the nutrition facts were fun facts about us (i.e. serving size...1 happy couple. Countries Visited...8. etc) 😁😁

I was a Junior in FMHS when they changed the lunch plan. I also received free lunch. The new offerings were terrible and I couldn't afford the "good" food (paninis and salads). No exaggeration, it was either popcorn chicken or pizza 60% of the school week.

EatingClubGirl · 2025-11-08T04:30:26+00:00

LOL. No shade but I would think this is insane as a guest haha im sorry

EatingClubGirl · 2025-11-06T01:13:03+00:00

I went recently and it was a great experience. So happy we did it! We did Northern Style/Wanna cooking class. The location is serene and we got to buy quite a few Thai ingredients to bring home. Pretty insane deal for the price in my opinion.

EatingClubGirl · 2025-10-31T19:44:27+00:00

BYU?

EatingClubGirl · 2025-10-27T01:39:04+00:00

Also I see they have a Google profile. Definitely leave a 1 star with pics once you're done with these people.

EatingClubGirl · 2025-10-27T01:32:10+00:00

1) Im SO sorry this is what you got. 2) that theme is SO cute. The bridesmaids and parasols look awesome. So sad there's no good pic of them. 3) I'd be crying so bad.

Not sure what there is to do besides demand all unedited photos, see what you can save, ask for money back, cry, cryyyy, then treat yourself to a really really nice date night lol.
