No matter what wellness grifters say, there’s no magic technique to “release” trauma (whatever that means) Real treatment goes like this: “Psychotherapy cannot erase painful memories. What psychotherapy can do is develop a person’s ability to become aware of their intrusion,…

“In my most evil moments, I was convinced that I was doing good, and I was well supplied with systematic arguments. And it was only when I lay there rotting on prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirrings of good. Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line…

In my practice, the term "psychodynamic" refers to unconscious psychological and emotional processes to become aware of and make use of in the service of personal growth and well-being. Here are my recommended key building blocks of successful psychodynamic therapy:

In psychotherapy, how do we think about emotion? Many therapeutic models (e.g., emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, etc.) suggest that the task is: 1) notice what you feel (e.g., sadness, anger, fear); 2) name it; 3) regulate and/or express it.

Is there anything more destructive to mental health than to convince someone that their thoughts and feelings and experiences are the symptoms of a disease?

Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with The Salt Path: the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. It became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film. But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth. @chloehadj Read: bit.ly/3GtJXsy

The Observer has an extraordinary takedown of the two-million-selling memoir and movie The Salt Path - alleging “Raynor Winn” is a fake name, she is a fraudster who stole thousands from friends, and her husband’s degenerative illness may be fake observer.co.uk/news/national/…

It only takes five minutes to break the cycle. Five minutes of exercise and you are back on the path. Five minutes of writing and the manuscript is moving forward again. Five minutes of conversation and the relationship is restored. It doesn't take much to feel good again.

Interesting chart from Otto Kernberg, who sees certain personality structures as almost always operating at a more primitive/pathological level, and others as operating at a more neurotic level (from the book Aggressivity, Narcissism and Self-destructiveness)
