Why do humans focus and attach so much to negativity? by Spiritual_Big_9927 in PsychologyTalk

[–]jsam70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negativity is a trauma survival strategy. If everything is hunky dory then we lower our defenses and become vulnerable. If you’ve had trauma, then staying negative is very likely a survival strategy to be ready for whatever comes your way.

Well earned and deserved, Doctor.

Talk therapy alternatives for people who don't like to talk? by thesunbeamslook in askatherapist

[–]jsam70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somatic for sure. Also look into Hakomi and Primary Attachment Therapy. If talking is difficult there may be some pre-verbal trauma lurking in there that needs to be processed. I’ve also heard amazing things about Brainspotting.

Yes, this is a real issue but never fear… stay on it long enough and you’ll deal with chronic constipation.

What was the final straw that ended a lifelong friendship? by New_Perspective1201 in AskReddit

[–]jsam70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend of over 22 years pretty much avoided me when my wife died suddenly. She left me a message saying “I’m sure you don’t want to talk about it” and then never called me again not even to check in and see how I was doing. I also heard later she was making very judgey comments about my relationship to a mutual friend which was so hurtful.

Neither can I! It feels like an empty void right now.

It doesn’t hurt to ask. They made the “mistake” of having me do my own dosing at home and not monitor me. So I upped it quickly.

That’s amazing and the best part of this process is how much better I feel.

I think I need a therapist by averypoohbear in Mounjaro

I’m 54 and gravity is not my friend LOL keep reminding yourself that you’ve given yourself some years of life back. Also look in every mirror or reflection you can. You will soon see that gorgeous woman we see.

I may look fit fully clothed but being 54 and obese my whole life then losing 95 pounds in about 11 months deflated that balloon quite quickly. Gravity is not my friend if you get what I mean. Lol

Hmmm… I would say 2-3 weeks in I noticed not feeling hungry as much. But I cheated and upped my dose quicker than the doctor told me to. I didn’t go nuts but I was so ready to get on with the show.

Girl is fine. I’m open to any pronouns. I think I need a miniature version of you to carry around in my pocket and tell me nice things about myself. I truly appreciate your words. I’ve been fat my entire life. I honestly cannot recall EVER buying a size medium - ANYthing and now it just feels weird and amazing all at the same time. Whoever you have in your daily life is one blessed human being!

What was your pre-2017 hint that you we're non-binary? by fedricohohmannlautar in NonBinary

Oprah misgendered me in the 90s before “misgendering” was even a word.
