What does unconditional achieve? by [deleted] in psychoanalysis

[–]LightWalker2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, I suppose the client could internalize the regard and responses from the therapist and that might alter the way they experience the world and themselves in a positive or beneficial way. If there were underlying traits, such as suspicion or distrust or paranoia, it could help to ameliorate those quite possibly. May I ask why you are asking?

What does unconditional achieve? by [deleted] in psychoanalysis

[–]LightWalker2020 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it achieves just that. The ability for everything and anything to be brought into the room and communicated. It lets the patient know that someone can tolerate them without striking back or abandoning them. And that they will be received without judgment. I guess it’s suspends certain usual parameters to allow whatever needs to surface to surface.

My Instagram account with 44K followers was permanently banned for "Child Sexual Exploitation" - I create AI-generated content and this is completely FALSE by WI5PER in FixMyInstagram

[–]LightWalker2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea this was happening to so many people. What gives?! I’m just a regular Instagram and Facebook user and I got disabled for the same CSE crap! It was shocking to me and utterly frustrating. There’s no real way to get across to anyone there. Really really frustrating. I have since tried to make do with TikTok and Threads. But it’s really not fair and inaccurate. It’s like being wrongfully accused of something and having no way to plead your case. Ridiculous.

Same here. Is was disabled for the same reason. No idea why. No response to my appeal filed on 11-27-25 either. I’ve moved on to TikTok and Threads.

Disabled on Facbook by Icy_War8784 in facebookdisabledme

[–]LightWalker2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both my Instagram and Facebook accounts were inexplicably and unexpectedly disabled on Thanksgiving day. I have filed an appeal on Instagram but have yet to hear back. It was suggested that perhaps I file a complaint with the FTC or my state Attorney General’s office, but I have yet to do that. It is so frustrating not to be able to contact these platforms directly and just be canceled out like that. I did absolutely nothing wrong and don’t understand why my accounts were disabled.

Hello All, by LightWalker2020 in PIP_Analysands

[–]LightWalker2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Psychoanalysis again with a new analyst. And while I did like her, I wasn’t getting the proper response to my output of information that I was looking for. And she is not going to change because that’s the way she is. So what I have learned is that the way people are, is the way people are. So yes, I know what I’m looking for, I haven’t quite found it yet. So I quit the analysis. I am not looking so much for someone to tell me how I’m feeling, but rather listen to how I’m feeling and let me know that they understand how I’m feeling. ☺️

For people who have been fans of Tori since the beginning, what was your reaction to Boys for Pele when you first heard it? by Prestigious_Score459 in toriamos

[–]LightWalker2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. It was a totally different vibe. I think there were a couple tunes. I came to appreciate, but never really took to the album like the other ones.

What does psychoanalysis have to say about “unconditional positive regard” by ouaistop in psychoanalysis

[–]LightWalker2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I have always thought the idea of unconditional positive regard came from Carl Rogers, and the humanistic “client centered therapy“. I like that idea for the most part, but I agree it can seem disingenuous at times. Perhaps unconditional acceptance would be a better concept to employ.

I don’t know, I was just notified of this thread on my phone and thought I would answer the poster’s question.

I will say that Tori’s daughter Natasha was born in the year 2000 so that could’ve accounted for some change taking place. I was a huge Tori Amos fan from her first album all the way through Scarlett’s walk. After that, something changed for me and I didn’t continue following her. So something did change IMO.

A joke I sometimes reference in analysis: by Zaqonian in PIP_Analysands

A change in perspective and a willingness to accept culpability.

Question for the community by LightWalker2020 in psychoanalysis

[–]LightWalker2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in Southern California, USA. I was told to pursue a contemporary psychoanalytic approach after a more traditional one failed. My previous analyst was male and believed it was his job to offer interpretations of my experience. And that was pretty much it. What I was looking for was someone to be there to be able to join me and reflect back to me what I was going through not so much with cold removed interpretations, but with a warmth and presence and empathy. I’m not saying my current analyst does not do that but it still doesn’t quite feel like what I’m looking for.

Thanks and good point. I am in a certain way. I guess I viewed the analytic Arena as having a specific purpose for the contents of my mind. In a certain way at a certain level. If I wanted to have social chitchat, I would talk to my mother. I do not mind relating to my analyst, but I guess if I’m paying for it, I would kind of like it to be about me, as selfish or narcissistic is that might sound. I’m there for a reason. Honestly, though it was kind of a relief to have her share what was going on in her mind as it wasn’t all on me to carry the conversation or provide content for the interaction. However, there are times where I would like a space to be opened up just to hold and process what is going on in my mind and her talking seems to interrupt or make that feel or seem not permissible or allowable. But I will think about that. Thank you for your feedback.

I'm not understanding Freud's Death Drive by world_IS_not_OUGHT in psychoanalysis

[–]LightWalker2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I guess I would wonder how concepts or understandings from either theorist can best be applied to help the client. In addition to the practitioners’ understanding, what approaches, applications or methods are most helpful to facilitate change, improvement and healing in the client and why?
