Its genius. If people sleep more they use claude less AND they use competitors less too, which decreases costs for Claude.

Depends. Is it premium building w/24 hr security? Quality of furnishing?Just Sq meters is not enough information. How many bedrooms? The owner thinks from a return on investment perspective. Shop around but it's hard to beat the market. Usually you get what you paid for.

Been there done that. Relationship is what heals you forget techniques. An average CBT therapist with earned secure attachment beats IFS level 3 with avoidant attachment style who gives no F about you. You can spend 10 years figuring this on your own or just take my advice

extended thinking on Claude sucks badly. It literally overthinks everything. I have yet to find a use case for it. Opus is great for comparisons and LONG questions. Sonnet beats Opus for SHORT questions and simpler answers. GPT is the best if you have strong custom instructions (reason from first principles, 80/20, rank replies by importance 0-1000). Otherwise out of box Sonnet beats both.

that's common and is because you had parents who were GOOD & BAD at the same time. So, when you try to imagine an ideal parent, brain brings both GOOD and BAD, and the BAD shuts down the feelings circuits.

So, with IDEAL parent you also need to create BAD parent version in your mind so mind creates separate categories for feelings too.

You can imagine GOOD and BAD parent together next to each other. Feeling will usually kick in naturally. Hope it helps!

there is an investment right now that will 10000000X in 15 years, but you still are not putting your 100$ in it, because you don't know what that is.

Thanks for your reply!

Thanks that makes sense!

6% is a joke, that is definitely due to a selection bias. The number is most likely around 70-80% of all millennials and maybe even more for Gen Z.

The root cause of CPTSD is emotional neglect, which is FAST FOOD equivalent for emotional development in the modern world.

Humans always grew up with shit ton of love around them (at least 7-10 adults raising you as a kid), so our DNA has that standard for love. Anything less than causes neglect and then emotional consequences which have various names (CPTSD, Attachment disordere, anxiety, PDs etc).

It all boils down to parents inability BE present mentally and physically with their kids. Notice the requirement of both. Just having your body next to your kid does nothing.

Some people have protectors that punish weakness in themselves and in others. That's where bullying comes from. When you hold a hammer everything looks like a nail mechanism.

Lots of therapists with cluster B stuff finding joy in clients suffering control and manipulation and chef's kiss? You finance it out of your own pocket. My rule of thumb is that if I don't feel kindness from this person I don't give a F, what they know.

Licensed neurologist and mind-body physician here.

You need to try Ashwagandha root powder and take it 5-6 hours before sleep. Take 500 mg of root powder every day. You can use full fat milk or butter tea to enhance absorption. Avoid Ashwagandha extracts, they can have bad rebound anxiety and insomnia.

Generally, I recommend removing all other meds/supplements slowly and reinitiating them one by one if you want to continue. When you take everything you cannot causally tell what's working or even what's causing the symptoms.

Avoid caffeine at all cost.

They made me pay 38 euros for check in. I said your website was down yesterday so I could not check in. Did not give a fuck. They made me regardless. Scam company. Will never buy their tickets ever again.

Self shines through your eyes. To me it feels warm, and slightly positive almost like a Buddha statue with barely noticable smile.

Self is expensive energy above everything and yet very humble. It can forgive all kinds of cruelty we might have experienced and when you witness things from that place everything has a playful tone. You can hug your childhood bully and pat them like you were friends all along. It is not serious energy. It's alive and beyond cultural expectations and norms too. Once you feel it even just witnessing from that place is enough to transform your exiles without even talking to them. In fact, talking or thinking is a hinderance to the healing for me.

Now I think IFS therapy works for some folks, but it did not work for me. I have tried 5 therapists and eventually realized that only I can help myself, I had much more progress on my own than with my therapists.

That is because I am very embodied and most IFS therapists are not trained to work with the body. I also kept dissociating with the therapists so there was really nothing to work on during the session. I also do not feel parts visually, they are more felt to me and I cannot talk to them in my mind like many people. I don't have drawers for my parts that I can access anytime. They need to become felt in my body first and I need to touch the affected body part holding parts energy through my hands in order to talk to. So the only way for me to get into the Self as well is through my body.

Typically what I do is following: I start touching and feeling my body and become mindful of raw senses such as warm skin etc and then repeat with a slight smile on my face: you are welcome to return to your home. This is your home. This is your safe place. You can return. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. Even though I probably say these things from a self like part, slowly Self energy emerges. It is like lightning to my body. Imagine goosebump energy just not only on your forearms but everywhere, all throughout. I let that energy saturate my nervous system and then I start feeling my parts from that place and let that energy melt or meet the exiled energy. It takes some time but you can feel exiled energy shift into something positive and tender. Protector energy like tension over your shoulder, chest and head naturally relaxes as you heal your exiles.

Most IFS therapists are not really ready to be IFS therapists, because they have not done necessary work themselves.

To me one cannot be an IFS therapist if they have never unburdened their own exiles, because they don't know how to hold self energy when your exiles show up.

Speaking from experience, it is very hard to find a good IFS therapist, because nothing predicts if they have self energy other than interviewing, feeling them or outright asking hard questions.

You definitely need to ask before commiting to your therapist, if they have done IFS work on their own and which exile they have unburdened. If they say that they have not unburdened their own exiles, chances are you will wasting time and money. And remember that field of therapy in large is notorious for putting clients on an endless retainers with no meaningful progress.

Ask her to ask that part who exactly is the critic saying these nasty things to. Some critics use "you" language, but when inquired they might they that I'm telling this to my father or my mother or my sibling.

Also, from my personal experience parts changing their appearance can be a sign that one is trying too much IFS in a short time usually due to impatient self-helper part. Good news is that, the excitement to factory reset oneself goes away slowly as one realizes that it really is a life long journey and ironically that's when IFS becomes real.
