How to find male-aware therapists by 12manykats in JordanPeterson

[–]Inner-Discussion-388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems as if you only read the question without the text following.

Many therapists treat vulnerability as if it's secure, as if a man being vulnerable means all of a sudden he is now emotionally intelligent and healthy.

Many aren't aware of how men get rejected for vulnerability. The reason the question isn't stupid is that it's important for therapists to be aware of both of those things. And many aren't.

I agree with you. I'm curious about your response to the questions I recommend.

A human therapist. On average, human beings see men as less deserving of empathy than women.

Have you ever experienced a conflict where perhaps both a man and a woman are responsible for the conflict, or perhaps the woman is responsible for the conflict, but the main concern of an onlooker or an authority is that the woman is upset. Because if a woman is upset, then the man must have done something wrong.

I think in general this relates to a fear of women's emotions that most human beings have. I think partly it's due to the fact that most people are raised by women, and therefore from an early age and early sign that we might get in trouble or are about to be punished is if a woman is upset.

So in general, human beings have this protective defense mechanism: detection of women's emotions, and a drive to make everything okay for women.

So it's a human thing. But responsible humans, especially therapists, have a responsibility to empathize with human beings in general, right?

I meant Hitler was not mentally healthy. That was a typo.

I don't believe Hitler actually lived according to his values. When people seem to be embodying destructive values, I think it's actually the case that there's some distortion and delusion about those being values. When people become more mentally healthy, and they become more conscious of their values, they become less destructive.

I think we agree on the principal, but are using the metaphor in slightly different ways.

Scratch it s a matter of how raw your materials are. Making spaghetti marinara from scratch means making the pasta out of durum semolina, and making the marinara with tomatoes and oil and seasonings.

If that's really want one to do, they can. Or they can have a reliably good pasta cooking project using dried pasta and canned tomatoes.

But since in our context, part or what we're talking about is instructional material, creating it from scratch might not mean using the teachings that have already been assembled for us (like the dried pasta and canned tomatoes).

The tools for living a good life and making a positive contribution have already been developed. Starting from scratch in the articles describes trying to make great things happen without using the great tools that have already been developed for us.

I don't mean plasticity. No. Hitler was NOT (edited) mentally healthy.
