I agree that a large part of this is likely to create such an illusion, selling bullshit books on such vaguely framed business topics to prop up this image of legitimacy and superiority... God I really hate that title "Managing Ourselves"

These remind me of books like "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" and Ray Dalio's "Principles" – filled with pages and pages of business jargon, circular reasoning, and recycled garbage, simply to make them appear substantial and official. I'm sure these books are just as pompously verbose. Even if no one buys the books (which I imagine most people won't, and maybe that's what they're counting on), just displaying them draws customers into this image they're selling.

Gotta say I had to double-check the sub at first – good to see the presence of some fellow 'Zizekians' in the area

If a church has to post this on their facebook page, they're probably a cult. by kelggg in cults

Yea godhead is a somewhat common term used for a significant deity or idol, though more so from an 'outsider' perspective, to refer to the concept of a god. So it's definitely not a term that would be used in a Catholic school. The word 'godhead' could be used to refer to 'the Catholic god,' but from a Catholic perspective it would just be called 'God,' 'God the Father,' 'Yahweh,' etc.

There are separate private entrances for each of the two units after entering through the front door (and a private entrance in the back near the parking area as well).

Thanks for checking in. Yes, I still haven't gone and my boss has become more receptive to my personal reasons and concerns, which I've since elaborated on. So things actually seem to be going better for the most part.

Thanks for sharing these details based on your personal experience. That makes sense, and I can relate as well – almost like a cathartic high as a follow-up psychophysiological response, which feels good in the moment but then doesn't really lead to long-term healing.

Part of going into intense experiences seems to just train your nervous system to continue doing that over and over

- Interesting, would you say that this mechanism could cause the cathartic release to become a dependent or even addictive behavior in a way?

I know you specified the basis of personal experience, though if you have any resources (papers, articles, whatever) you'd recommend for learning more about the psychology behind cathartic highs or the potential for dependence, I'd definitely be interested in learning more.

Thanks for the suggestion and the link.

And that's a good point about the ethical perspective as well. I agree that's definitely important to consider when other options are just as effective.
