🤣 "Soy as hell" is a new one to me! Does that mean like a hippie (eg, soy milk), and thus you think I lean Left/Progressive? Regardless, I'm curious if you watched the whole video and what you think of all that I had to say?

Oh yes, both! My viewing audience is a mix of Christian and non-Christian so I don't go as fully into the Christian side a lot of the time, but I definitely apply all of this personally to my relationship with God. My inner-work (as a client) via Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy ( ua-cam.com/video/35QNMwuCvpg/v-deo.html ) has deepened my felt-sense of God being there with me in my pain, and I have felt very "held" and comforted by the Trinity in my recent sadness. 😊

Oh, that makes my heart so happy -- if viewers get nothing else from my videos I hope they at least feel more free to just be human. Thanks, man, for sharing this! 😊

Thank you -- glad you enjoyed it! 😁

I'm curious if there was something in this video that sparked that disappointment (I confess I can't remember if I briefly talked about insurance in the video or not), or if you more-so are just coming from a place of feeling frustrated that not all counselors take insurance?

Very cool. I have not had a chance to read a ton of Rohr, but have heard good things about his writings regarding the second half of life. You might also appreciate James Hollis who I like a lot: mft.cc/bk/1592402070 And yes, I will be at Hopewords -- come find me and we'll chat! Just look for my beard! 😁

Oh thank you, Angelina -- that is meaningful to hear! I'm so glad this reading could be a resource for you and your client. 😊

Thanks man!

Hey man, thanks for your comment, and you're very welcome! 😊

I agree with your emphasis on being direct. Using flirting as a way of avoiding risk (ie, just playing it safe) is not healthy, and can definitely lead to just using people. And there are definitely many saddening examples in our culture of the behaviors you're describing. But what I was trying to explore in this video is a contrasting healthy category that is focused on blessing and encouraging our fellow humans in safe, respectful ways (the author I link to in the video description explores this idea in interesting ways). There may be a better term for this than "healthy flirting," but if I remember correctly I think this video was in the context of an interview so I was probably trying to work with the language that was put forth in a question. But I'm curious if you had any thoughts/reactions about the content of the video (and the nuanced ideas I was exploring), or were you mainly reacting to the video title? Regardless, thanks for your comment! 😊

You're so welcome, Julie -- glad you found it helpful!

I'm sorry that what I shared and my way of communicating landed so poorly. I admittedly can be quite rambly! I do hope, however, that you will at some point find more of whatever you were hoping for. And certainly feel free to submit an anonymous question ( www.AskSean.org ) referencing this video, regarding whatever you'd like me to attempt to say more clearly or to further unpack. 😊

@@ask-sean Im sorry that was a cruel comment. I was very angry at my situation at that time. I hope you understand and I don’t mind if you delete this comment

@@Mom_of_the_Chickies I am just now seeing your reply (not sure why I didn't get/see a notification), but thank you so much -- that was very kind and vulnerable of you. I do understand being in places of pain and lashing out because we desperately long for life to be different -- it is very human. Thank you for your follow-up, and I am so sorry for whatever hard you were/are going through.

Thanks, and agreed! Also it's fun seeing you on here! :)

I am sorry for the deep pain you are carrying. I can't really give the kind of full, lengthy response here in a comment that what you've shared deserves, so I would invite you to consider submitting some/all of your above concerns as an anonymous question/story for a potential future video: AskSean.org But regardless of whether you decide to do that, the very brief thought I would offer (in addition to my sadness for your pain) is that "trying to appear attractive" or anything else is generally not a helpful direction, because it can put all of our focus on things we have no control over (and which we might be tempted to try to somehow control). Instead I recommend focusing your energy on becoming the kind of person _you_ would want to spend time with. Because in the end, _you_ will always be there so it is best to learn to like, love and enjoy the person you are and are becoming. This, of course, is no easy task. But it has the potential to bring you far more satisfaction and joy than your current path, and regardless of whether you enter a partner relationship or not the direction I am suggesting is likely to make healthier relationships more possible for you. Wish I were able to write more, but again, you're welcome to consider submitting an anonymous question/story for me to potentially respond to in a future UA-cam video.

Well said! A dear artist friend of mine refers to him affectionately as Saint Nick: instagram.com/p/CpnQmGjOsr7/

Hi!

Maybe "sensitive" will become the new "sexy."

I'm so glad. :)

So glad this came to you at the right time and was so helpful! And you're absolutely right about the exposure therapy / systematic desensitization reference -- it's all the same principles. Thanks for sharing! 😊

Dude, thank you -- that's really meaningful!

Oh, thank you, Cindy! :)

Thanks so much, man -- I appreciate it!
