10 years of intensive trauma therapy vs one phone call with the family member who has BPD

I have a new favorite reaction image.

I also think they don’t understand that this is how it should be. They scoff at the idea and insist men and women can’t be friends. They pity men whose wives refer to their husbands as their best friends.

Which is also the societal division and contempt machine, which I think is the greater goal especially if the origin point is a foreign power.

It almost feels like the initial waves are mostly bots causing issues and they then sway people who are generally insecure in their opinions.

Not at all.

Ok buddy. Here’s the thing. This is literally part of my career. If you start someone’s momentum, you have to stop it. That means you have to control their momentum. This is something drilled into us. She controlled his momentum. Wasn’t a shove. End of story.

Bro, you thought I was mentally ill and on psychiatric medications and then thought all autism is exactly the same. I’ve given up on following you and am simply trying to get back to the original point.

So you know a child(?) with autism and you think that autism applies to a thirtysomething woman with a career in psychology and mental health, working in a credentialed role, whose career is de-escalation, high-acuity, social impacts of trauma, etc.? Fascinating.

I have the distinct feeling, based on how the rest of this conversation has gone, you don’t understand much of anything, but sure, bud.

I’m not on any psychiatric medications whatsoever. I’m diagnosed autistic. You missed the mark entirely, but I guess when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail.

Medicaid absolutely does do this depending on the state.

I don’t take antidepressants and I’ve never been able to drink, bro. Try again.

Not really. It’s more a lot of words to say I know you’re talking out of your ass.

There’s no clinical criteria for mental illness that is in any way related to interpreting failures of procedure, bud.

She didn’t. You just want to believe she did.

So in my work we have a saying: “If you start someone’s momentum, you are legally required to stop it”. She walked him back, controlling his momentum the whole way until he swiped at her. It was a controlled motion. It was not a careless shove.

The number of men in the comments calling this a “body slam” are astounding. She walked him back with her hand on his chest. That’s it. And she was perfectly within her rights to do so.

I’ve encountered a lot of people who have children for selfish reasons, so the decision to have kids on its own is not inherently altruistic. Pretty much every decision humans make is self-interested.
