This interview was so powerful for many different reasons. Thank you for showing us what mental health journalism can be.
When the student is ready, the teacher appears. You honored your mother and now you gift the world with your knowledge. I really needed to hear this, and will be studying and learning from you. Thank you.
This feels like Borderliner Notes breakthrough video from mental health to philosophy. This can be a powerful and meaningful road. Keep going. More please.
Ok cool he stated the unethical things Freud did. I'm glad for the pro/con evaluation and the modern uses of it. 👏
this is a nice thought and all, but I think many of us have lost hope that the world and our societies will operate in this way. Too many people need to feel better than others, and ironically many of those same insecure people are the ones in charge and keeping things the way they are. To them it is a zero sum game, which is the way narcissists look at the world.
@@jemima_brown a conservative is the one that borders more closely on the pathology of narcissism, if we’re talking about concepts, metaphors and their analogues. If that’s not clear to you, then maybe you have little empathy that you’ve operationalized, at least when writing the comments to this video. It’s pretty narcissistic to suggest that we ahem…conserve… or rather keep a system in which people can leverage wealth and money passively and actively to perpetuate disparate qualities of life at a societal level (within a hierarchy that is not natural but is made to appear so). The cherry on top is then you call the people asking for fairness narcissists. Very bold, Ms. Brown. Talk about some serious gaslighting, sis. You’re talking about fallacies of scarcity that are not only hypotheticals but necessary cognitive distortions to keep conservative with wealth at peace. It’s like a those brazen narcissists who can’t even feel shame - it’s effective and practical to have these analogies of “come to Jesus” moments but those who are more apt to be comfortable in the lies and structures that keep them comfortable might not want to realize or grieve/atone for the amount of life they’ve wasted being a dependent shitbag on others - even construing a whole system of ideas and societal organization to gaslight people into this whole silly construction on the importance of status; saying your exaltation (and its egregious ability to excessively consume supply, capital comfortably) is justified, just as it is used to justify not giving workers (or rather everyone in society) dignity. Even in your short characterization of those that you’re critiquing (liberals I’m assuming, or anyone against conservatism), it’s more a reflection of what *you* *think* that they think, rather than an in depth, empathetic look at how one would try to understand people making pretty reasonable asks.
Perfectionistic utopian thinking does not solve the natural 'rise and fall' of classes, cultures and families over time.
Was it so much that it was what Freud wanted to be, or was it more that he understood that his ideas would not be taken seriously if he did not follow the formula?
Much like why he disregarded all the ideas of Carl Jung because he wanted people to take psychoanalysis seriously as a science.
Freud is well known because of his ideals due to his exposure of deflective projection from his childhood development (gaslighting).
Every psychologist does that.
That's why we have objective methods, usually unused in a therapeutic sessions.
Projection is far more satisfying.
It's #RacialStratificationEconomics.
I'm lost. Who and what is he talking about?
I just gave up my cushy work from home nepotism job to go work at Walmart. So far so good! Less anxiety.

What does this guy do to recognise his privilege? What does psychology do to recognise the impact of racism, sexism, homophobia? Why is this asking minority groups to teach the privileged? And criticising that they don’t do it well enough. It shouldn’t be the responsibility of the under privileged.
I know what I do.
Being an underprivileged man meet with assumptions about my "privileges" I have enough.
A politically correct version of sexism and racism is disgusting exactly like all other forms of it.
For me all white women are potential sexist abusers by default. Until proven not guilty.
Meh-
