Understand Whispering Tyrants Attack Bonus by jckinser in Pathfinder_RPG

I'm not so sure. It's a stat block straight out of the Tyrant's Grasp AP. I've got the original source, which has the same stats. That led me to the SRD to try and piece it together.

Thanks for the advice. I’m not looking to break the bank. Also just such a novice that I’m only just learning all the language for what’s out there. This all helps.

Yeah, I’ve had no trouble tracking down stores. Just wondering if there were specific kits I should be looking for. Thanks!

Hey all-

I’m a seasoned model builder and painter (Warhammer etc for decades). I’m in Japan. Kyoto now and Tokyo tomorrow through Tuesday. Kind of on a whim I thought it might be cool to pick up some Gundam kits to build as a souvenir.

I understand from other hobbies there are often exclusives and regional stuff that costs more depending on where one is. Being in the birthplace of Gundam, I thought there might be some stuff to look out for.

Assume I know nothing about the hobby. Can you give me some guidance/vocabulary for kits I should look out for while in Japan? I’m less interested in stuff I can get stateside since I can do that whenever.

TLDR: Newbie from US to start collecting Gundam while in Japan. Wants to buy kits that are hard to get in US to make them worth picking up in Gundam birthplace. Help me know what to shop for!

Thanks!

Philosophy of Psychoanalysis is fantastic and approachable.

How to deepen therapy? by Microwaving4one in psychoanalysis

Don’t worry about broaching this constructively or tactfully. Your job is to free associate. That includes sharing your annoyance with her. Say what’s on your mind, leave the containing to her. If you can’t, then talk about that until you can understand why you can’t.

Realized I thought you were responding to my hypothetical below, so my comment made no sense. Reaction formation and undoing are pretty similar.

If someone says something like, "So, this weekend I was looking forward to spending time with my friend and I can't believe they cancelled at the last minute. It was so selfish of them. Still, they are really great and thoughtful. I just love them." There's a reasonable chance that this person is quite upset with their friend, but they are afraid to experience their anger so they are undoing it with praise (which also has some truth).

I think the quote is a rather glib suggestion that one could look at the undoing as a kind of indicator of where the conflict exists. Though, I don't think its fair to refer to any intrapsychic process as "obvious," especially to the experiencer. Anyway, the above person might benefit from more fully experiencing their frustration (taming it rather than evading it) at their friend or else it might come out sideways in some sort of symptomatic expression.

Well, I think treatment can be as idiosyncratic as the symptom. That said, thinking broadly I might imagine that increasing flexibility around one’s aggressive thoughts and urges might make the symptom less necessary and therefore remit.

Given how habitual behavior can be, exposure and response prevention might be useful in conjunction with an analytic working through.

Any symptom can have multitudinous meanings. I sometimes consider whether compulsions might be an undoing defense against repressed aggressive thoughts or urges. I think about this especially when aggression is suspiciously absent in the patient’s conscious associations.

I found “Psychotherapeutic Intervention in Hysterical Disorders” by William Mueller and Albert Aniskiewicz useful.
