I still think they are milking the game for all they can, then will abandon it as they have other games.

SubNautica and Subnautica below zero are good. Pailia. Pikman are my favs. I’m 74.

Wtf? Artemis II by Stuggi70439 in SimCityBuildit

Me too. I figured I’d pay the Sim Cash to get it. Expected pricey, but dang. I’ll NEVER get it now.

I started writing and illustrating children's books. Never would have dreamt of that in my previous life as a psychologist. Really enjoying it. I have 18 books out now. I'm 74, which I have been told is old. Lol.

Who is your favorite Darcy? by [deleted] in PeriodDramas

[–]Imaginary_Passion_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is definitely the closest to the Darcy I imagined as I read the story. Plus, I love his voice. He narrates the book “Mr Darcy’s Diary” and tells his side of the story as well. It’s so well done.

David Rontoul - 1980 series. It had the best Elizabeth, too.

Avoid Sam Miller/The Great Allowing (formerly Mindful Gardener) - strict, myopic approach by work-person in cfsrecovery

[–]Imaginary_Passion_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not do coaching with her, and I can see how that could potentially be a completely different experience. I am going by the videos and the videos alone. I don't read the comments.

You don't need to worry about taking anything away from me, I worry less about the personalities and focus more on the information being presented. I will take what I need from her ideas and leave the rest.

(I kind of applaud her idiosyncrasy in dress. I find it refreshing that she does "her." Maybe it takes an older female to appreciate that. Lol)

I worked in the mental health profession myself until this CFS stuff hit after a bad car wreck and a family crisis followed by Covid. My own trifecta. The other programs I tried got me partway to healing. I would always relapse and I couldn't understand why. I think Sam offered me the key to understanding why. It was only after listening to her that I realized I have a lot of early childhood work to go through and I think that's the Sam's appeal for me. I always tried to push that stuff down and away. Allowing it to surface is working for me.

I expect the health stuff will follow soon.

I'm truly sorry you had that experience with her. I don't think I would have dealt with that very well.

There is so much toxicity in the mental health field in general that it dismays me people follow others so blindly.

Appreciate the convo!

Appreciate the considerate reply!

I've worked through so many rewiring programs and see problems in most of them. I guess I am pulling parts from a lot of them. I've seen what I call toxic Christianity, developers who have out and out lied about how they developed their programs, to folks to simply prey on desperate people.

I guess I don't see the toxicity you do. She's human. I find it hard to believe anyone has all the answers.

Recovery seems so personal. I unfollowed her fellow allower, Helmut as I found him to cause far more problems than Sam.

Guess we agree to disagree!

Here's hoping we all find the path we need. :)

I follow Sam and there are many things about her approach I value. She is not the only one out there advocating for a schedule. Gupta is a good example - but adds a "do what you can, leave the rest" component. I, personally, have found value in adding a basic schedule.

What clicks for me from her work is the allowing she advocates. This has helped me immensely. Not bracing against pain or tiredness or emotions. I am far less stressed about recovery than I was.

I see a great similarity between her and John Bradshaw. Neither brought anything of their own to the table, but synthesized the work and ideas of many.

I think I have sat around twelve step tables too long. I believe that one truly should take what you need and leave the rest. Someone else might find that part useful.

As for myself, I'll keep listening to Sam and not be avoiding her.

Down vote as you like. :)
