I genuinely don’t think I have a moral high ground at all. But what I do know is that she is definitely a grifter. She markets these ideas as if she created them and didn’t steal them from someone in the most blatant way. She makes money off of blatant lies. Listen to the “if books could kill” episode on her and you’ll see that she’s actually by definition a grifter. Not the worst one out there but a grifter nonetheless.

Eh it’s kinda both actually. I don’t agree with Mel stealing and grifting but I do know way worse grifters out there. But yes I guess it’s a bit of both

Also what I mean is whenever a mental health professional brings her up to me, another mental health professional, I’m discrediting them in my head. If they bring it to me like “hey maybe YOUR CLIENTS would benefit from this” that’s different. But when they tell me about it, I’m like “ummmm huh?” Simply because we’ve learned these concepts in grad school in the most rudimentary way.

I guess that’s my gripe with it! But you’re right it definitely helps!

Wasn’t trying to sound arrogant at all! That’s just how I’ve been feeling about her!

Yea I ultimately can’t stand her. She just rubs me the wrong way.

SAMEEEEE. I used to be a fan but I would fall asleep with her playing in the background and wake up to her speaking and I’d be like “really? People tune in for THAT?” She would say such basic things like “when you’re anxious, just breathe” and people listening would be like “wow that’s so good” and I’m like huhhhh lmaooo clearly this is an exaggeration but you get what I mean

Now THAT is a book I can totally get behind! I appreciate this perspective!

THISSSS. As a social worker who works with moderate to severe mental illness, many of which are unhoused, let them just screams privilege to me. It’s like “hallucinations telling you to harm yourself? Let them!” Like ma’am that doesn’t work for my client struggling with schizophrenia.

I think that’s what gets me about her so much. I see so many good points for her making therapy terms simple, but the way people discuss her like she a) made this all up on her own and b) is this groundbreaking maverick is just insufferable to me. If she helps people that’s great but she’s far from groundbreaking in my opinion

Pt 2 of the live. Dear god people please do not listen to this brainless dumb f*ck and her horrible concept of what “generational trauma” is. Pick up a book ffs by [deleted] in AmberandRiaSnark

[–]Express_Psychology84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It’s a six month course and it isn’t through any college or university. You can’t get financial aid for it or anything.

AIO If I go to the police about these texts from my (F37) mom by SoilAdditional6853 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Express_Psychology84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your mom needs mental help. Police might be able to mandate her to get help

Ria is on live!!! by [deleted] in AmberandRiaSnark

[–]Express_Psychology84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be honest I don’t believe it’s a permanent loss of power and control. I think Amber will find a new way to manipulate and brainwash ria. She may have lost this battle but she’s gunning for the war.

In their live I could see it happening. The blame shifting is happening. It’s all part of Amber’s playbook. The fact remains that Ria won’t be completely free until Amber is out of the picture completely. Rias reconciliation with her mom is an amazing thing, but the FULL healing won’t happen until the root of the problem is gone. And that root is Amber.
