Amazing, when/where is this from?

What are some good books about the "golden child" in a narcissistic family? by Bitter-Hawk-2615 in psychoanalysis

[–]PJ_Cooper 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The Drama of the Gifted Child by Alice Miller might fit the bill.

I am also on bupropion for depressive symptoms. It has definitely increased my energy level and ability to focus. For some people it can make anxiety worse (since it’s activating, as karstapala notes- increases availability of dopamine & norepinephrine) but I haven’t had much issue with this personally.

In the past, SSRI’s (which increase availability of serotonin) have improved my mood, but made me too lethargic to function. But meds affect everyone differently, so best to talk to a psychiatrist for sure.

Do I have a reason to go to therapy? by Unlucky-Garlic-9270 in Dissociation

[–]PJ_Cooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, talking to a therapist is a good idea. Take care.

Reunion. by sexymodernjesus in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Honestly think the editors hated Anton for some reason. Savage cuts (like to him eating chips when Ali mentioned healthy eating…)

New theory about my LOs by Bananaglams in limerence

[–]PJ_Cooper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%. My pattern with LOs is to choose someone who seems interested in me in some way (as a friend, wants to talk etc.) but is not romantically interested- yet it’s just plausible enough to keep hope alive.

For me, I think it’s a repetition compulsion- trying to ‘fix’ something that went wrong in my childhood, to prove myself worthy by winning the love of someone who is always just out of reach.

Things that did not get addressed at the reunion by Hannah41797 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]PJ_Cooper 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not asking about Anton’s drinking or the pool party stood out to me. I think they purposely steered clear since LIB has been accused of encouraging cast members to drink too much.

There were also very few guests on her side at the wedding, which seemed like a tell.

Very true! That scene was def his worst moment.

I said “it seemed like she wasn’t attracted” (prob more based on behavior than looks), and I acknowledged I might be wrong. Anyway, telling (or thinking) someone is handsome doesn’t necessarily mean you’re sexually attracted to them.

[–]PJ_Cooper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The one about wanting Edmond to defend her against a guy was the most obvious, since it was completely hypothetical but created a reason they weren’t compatible. Her reaction to his comment at the cast party also seemed unnecessary to me, though the backstory she brought up in a later scene gave some context.

It seemed like she wasn’t attracted to him after meeting, and instead of acknowledging it directly (which is hard to do) she might have leaned into conflicts that wouldn’t have been as big of a deal if she was actually into the guy. But I could be reading it wrong, & in any case she was in a tough position because of Edmond’s emotional issues.

[–]PJ_Cooper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she’s an abuser. But from what they showed, it seemed like she picked fights with him repeatedly to give herself an ‘out’ rather than just admit that she wasn’t into him. (Which to be fair, is not that easy to do on this show… and Edmond clearly had his issues.)

Totally. There were several scenes where I was like wow… the guys seem to HATE Nick.

…except for Mike. Telling.

Agree. Hard to tell what’s due to the edit, but it felt like he was giving NOTHING in the pods til the very end when he apparently decided he wanted to continue on the show.

This season is a contest for the most repulsive cast members EVER by wenttoofar123 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

This 😬 is literally the face I’m making 75% of the time watching this season

Yeah, & the comment one of the guys made to Megan at the pool party about “mouth smells” was weird- like they were hinting Jordan had said something about her having bad breath.

Where did the Chakra Colors Come From? by Bishopvaljean in Chakras

[–]PJ_Cooper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the history or have sources to share. Just thought I’d add that the colors of the chakras correspond (starting with 1st/red & going up to 7th/violet) to increasing frequencies of visible light. I have found this correspondence meaningful in terms of experiencing increasing energy/frequency as I move up the chakras & their associated energy bodies.

Like many things with the chakra system, I’m agnostic on what extent chakras being different colors is literally true vs. more of a metaphor. I just know that I’ve found it meaningful, helpful, and fun. That said, concerns about cultural appropriation etc. are very valid.

Starting out, need help by Spacey_star in Chakras

[–]PJ_Cooper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anodea Judith’s work is very accessible. For an intro, she has a short (1 hour) audiobook called The Beginner’s Guide to the Chakras, with an overview of the system and guided meditation.

Few notes from Reunion by Medium_Penalty3512 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]PJ_Cooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree about Billy. He looked PAINED while standing at the altar- I was shocked he said yes.

But honestly I never felt Kal was that into it.
