- I have received many, many emails and comments from other counseling students, current and former, as well as teachers, professors, parents, and clients of SJ counselors who are telling me about experiences similar to what I've seen at Antioch. In this video I read a few of your comments, and invite you to contact me to talk about your story in more depth. If you are interested in having a conversation with me about your experiences (to be shared via this channel) you can contact me through my website at theradicalcent...

To thank you for contributing, every contributor at any financial level is invited to submit a personal, professional, or ethical dilemma or challenge that you would like help considering- Think "Dear Abby," only this is "Dear Leslie." I will select one submission and engage in a meaningful discussion of the presenting issue with a wise friend on video and release it on my youtube channel. I can't promise that we will solve your problem, but we will take it seriously and give our carefully considered opinions. I will continue to do these periodically, as long as there is interest in this project.
Speaking out does two very important things. It eases your own soul and it lets others know they are not alone.
the black supremacists are mad at her for exposing there racism
It also galvanizes people into action.
Speaking out also gets you driven out of the academy in one way or another. Many times.
Yes, but we must support people who speak out? Agreeing does little to support?
@@stephenmason5682 Absolutely right. Knowing you're not along makes it easier to join forces.
I live in Portland, OR where the wokiest of the woke spend their days patrolling and monitoring others for any perceived slight they can be offended by. As a therapist who received a meaningless piece of paper from a 'social justice' graduate school, I would say that it gets better once you are in practice. You don't have to take the woke agenda to your practice as a counselor - you can leave it behind like some bad dream that cost you an awful lot of money. There is a place for therapists who don't push agendas or ideologies, who ask the important questions, and yes, challenge clients on their perceptions and thoughts. I wish you the absolute best. You're doing something important here and I'm cheering you on from afar.
dang, I'm in Portland, OR...how do I find a therapist like you? Not asking you to out yourself...anonymity is important, as regrettable as it is.
But what to you know if all you've been taught is wokism?
@@williamkraemer8338 As a psychologist who was taught all of this stuff while I was in school, I can answer that we still get taught (or at least I did) the fundamentals of psychology, the basics of personality development, and theories of personality and behavior. My experience has been that the people who went to school for the express purpose of helping people deal with psychological and behavioral difficulties are still very adept at actually carrying that task out, despite the terrible woke educational add-ons. As a therapist/counselor, you are still just one human being listening to the struggles of another human being and doing your best using a high level of knowledge about human behavior and psychology to help them sort through those struggles.
@@jonathanwhiting7123 Thanks for your reassurance. I believe what you say.
I mean I would LIKE to believe what you say.
It is funny how these supposed "therapists" are more mentally unstable than their clients, we must stay strong against this insanity.
Daniel Mackler released a video on exactly this topic, highly recommend.
What is the difference between the doc and the patient in mental hospitals? The doc has the keys..
It's funny until it's not so funny.
@@anewagora can you share the name of the video? Daniel appears to have a lot of videos, so it’ll be asker if you can recall at least part of the title.
The amount of bravery to do this is incredible. I'm glad you've been receiving support.
My husband just informed me that he has experienced two therapists addressing the woke counseling agenda. He called them on it both times. As an RN this horrifies me. Thank you for speaking up, keep doing it! We are awake!
I'm glad he called them out for it!
Yep. My kid had “therapy” from an SJW. Our family still has not recovered.
I'm sorry Rebecca. If you would like to share your story about it (for a future video) please message me through my website: theradicalcenterconsulting.com/
Me too
Sorry to hear this.
I know it's tragic, but your comment is hilarious at the same time.
I had two doctors discurage seeking help from law enforcement while experiencing criminal activity, and office teyed to have me arrested for recording they said its against hippa
I loved your BB interview, especially the distinction you made between narcissism and introspection. What an awesome therapist you are going to be!❤️
It was a real epiphany.
Thank you, Jan!
BB?

I'll have to check it out, thank you
A friend of mine in Portland, OR was seeing a therapist who flipped out and started yelling when my friend referred to her daughter (who has turned to a boy) by her girl's name (her actual born name). My friend said the therapist scolded her and basically ended the "therapy" session.
That isn’t a therapist , that is an activist .
@@nancybaumgartner6774 More like an abuser.
wow, yes, that's an activist, for sure.
I hope she didn’t pay the bill
@@grndiesel that is even more accurate
You’ll get a university who offers you a way to finish your degree.. Jordan Peterson and the Daily Wire will call, if they haven’t yet.. your active voice is resonating across the world.. keep going with what you’ve started… you’ll make a great psychologist, and you may one day get to have a thriving practice, once you feel satisfied with the discussion you are journeying through 🙏🙏🙏
Try Austin University, it's newly created, specifically to promote courses that adhere to Classical Liberal values.

It is good to know you're not alone, Leslie, take strength from that knowledge, but remember Leslie, if you are required to attend a meeting that could affect your future, always find a witness to partake in the meeting, no all of a sudden meetings, make them schedule the meeting so you can prepare in advance to protect yourself and the investment you've made in your education. Peace
I am in awe of you and your strength and beauty! You are not alone , and this is soo important to stand for. Bless you and stay strong in your principles.
Stay with it you're on track. When it's time to fight don't be sad, build a monster and control it.
You are a brave, brave woman. Unlike most people, me included, you have the courage of your convictions and are doing the right thing, even though it is personally costing you a lot. I wish I was more like you.
Just listen to yourself
Trust yourself
You are doing good work
People will judge and criticize
Do not take it personally
Because that is the easiest way to attack
Especially in today’s world of false “courage “
Hiding Behind the text and email
Hang in there
You are walking in the light
and those
In the dark hate the light
Because it exposes
All
The good and the bad
You are helping people without even finishing your studies...that is big!!!
The college campus is ground zero, and tactically the most important battle ground, but this critical theory/intersectionality nonsense has seeped far beyond those borders. It has altered the way a grocer can run his or her business, and the ability of a teacher to address their student as an individual with a unique set of characteristics and needs. I hope after you talk with fellow students that you will talk with people coping with this in other walks of life; this is a problem that will need to be addressed holistically.
. what they are trying to do is raise an army of people who hate and resent white people. that is the purpose of critical race Theory. it offers no solutions. it's not designed to Foster equality. it's designed to teach black people that all of their white friends and peers and all the white people that they meet are secretly oppressing them. it's designed to create and Foster feelings of resentment by black people against white people and feelings of submissive guilt among the white people to not push back against it
and it results in things like this
ua-cam.com/video/qe_EXlVPdDA/v-deo.html
and that's just the beginning.. I think it's important for you to use the proper terminology.
the social justice warrior types are not angry at you for missing the point. the correct way to describe what you saw was "the black supremacists are angry at you for exposing their racism"
has anyone in your field would know terminology is important. it's important to paint the correct picture and to convey the correct message. these people don't want equality. they want revenge against white people. they are trying to promote black supremacy. and the same way you would feel and describe it if there was groups of white supremacists using therapists to convince white patients across the country to resent and hate black people. the same way you would feel and react if White supremacists were getting teaching jobs and teaching entire classes that black people are bad and to promote white supremacy.. the same way you would feel and react to that is how you should be feeling and reacting to this because it is the same thing. just because it's black against white rather than white against black doesn't mean it's not racist
and like those videos showed you these have real world consequences. these are creating generations of people that despise White people. I don't want to get into the hyperbole of genocide but every time in history that there has been a massive racist maybe not Holocaust but some kind of racial oppression it has always begun in the same way. first you have to Foster feelings of resentment and hatred towards the race you want to oppress then comes the rest. Hitler did not start with train cars. he started by fostering resentment and hatred towards the specific demographic. he started by blaming them for all the countries problems. and then he started slowly segregating them. slowly pushing policies that were targeted against them. but it did not start with the train cars
and I don't know about genocide in America but we've seen genocide in South africa. we saw the government of South Africa steal the land from the white farmers and then massacre them. that was a real thing that happened..
there was a literal white genocide in South africa. now nobody's saying that racism against black people is right either. but it's important to use the correct terminology because you are in a position to expose a very racist ideology that's targeted to create discrimination. and if you truly try to fight for equality you have to push back against this the right way. you can't call them social justice warriors and assume that they have good intentions because they don't. they are FILLED with hate
these are not the drum circle peace and love hippies of the 1960s. these are not the people that went to woodstock. these are an entirely different group of people trying to hide behind the message of those people. but these are very fascist and hateful people that we're dealing with. and the first step is recognizing that. that you're not dealing with peace and love hippies who want equality you're dealing with very hateful and racist people only they are hateful and racist against white people..
and that is what this entire movement has been about. the entire critical race Theory is designed by black supremacists both white and black to Foster feelings of hatred and to Foster hatred and racism against white people so that it will be easier to discriminate against them..
so I implore you to use your platform to use the correct terminology and descriptions of what's happening. these are not anti-racist people being angry at you for misinterpreting their words. you interpreted it correctly.. these are very racist black supremacists who are angry at you for exposing their racism..
Yes, reticulated ralphie crit theory etc. has spread beyond campus to the grocery store, the doctor's office, to city parks.... The most amazing thing is that so few know this. I saw it coming 30 years ago (not to brag) but to say the stealth of its advocates is startling.
The college campus mindset now prevails in corporate and govt boardrooms
It has seeped everywhere. To corporate boardrooms to elem schools to medja companies to newspapers to liberal politicians to sports... .. to alllll places
Its real. Its divisive and it needs to stop.
It is one thing to have a sjw worldview and to try to influence friends and others to think a certain way.
It is clearly another to jam this crap down the throats of people in all walks of life. This is exactly what is happenijg now.
Thanks for talking about it
And keep talking about.
And keep talking and sooner or later when enough people say enough is enough we can hold these sj dummies accountable
@@williamkraemer8338 Yeah, this has been in the works for decades. Most people seem to think that this is all organic change, but I guess that's by design.
Thank you for this! I'm an LCPC and am increasingly alarmed by what I see in my field. My graduate program focused more on social justice issues than on developing clinical skills and competence. There are so many practicing therapists who do not know how to help people and will inadvertently do things that are disempowering to their patients.
Not just disempowering - actively harming and traumatizing. The whole point of the therapeutic relationship is to learn to build trust. These wannabe ideologues are openly abusing people in vulnerable emotional states.
You are doing awesome ma'am! Please don't listen to these WOKE ideologues and these other people that complain about you showing up to the party late. Give me a break James Lindsey is just now really getting traction on this subject so like you said you get there when you get there. Please keep up the good work we appreciate all that you do and work for. Thank you!
Well done!! I really admire your strong spirit! We need more people like you who are ready to face the social madness that is rising. Good luck!
I am so grateful for your videos. I have been a Psychiatric Nurse for 20 years and I’m working with doctors and therapists that I once held in the highest esteem begin to march in lockstep with this movement. It’s as if I’m in a twilight zone episode. I work in a teaching hospital and our young psych residents are a coming from an elite Ivy League university and they seem to have had all of the independence of thought and empathy drained out of them.
Have no doubt that you are doing the right thing, and are a hero in my mind.
I don’t know if you’ve seen the FAIR video featuring Christine Sefein. If not, check out “An Alarming Trend in Psychotherapy.” Christine quit her job as a professor of psychology at Antioch LA due to the very things you describe so eloquently. Her story helped me when I was doubting my feelings and trying to talk myself into being more open, teachable, self-reflective, etc. I know the games the “professors” (indoctrinators) use to make you doubt what you know in your heart and head is true. I’ve heard you say how much the validation means to you. Hearing it from a person with the same alphabet soup that supposedly qualified the indoctrinators to condemn me made a world of difference!
This girl has a lot of integrity and soundness of thought. Much like the Greatest Generation of WWII and the Great Depression.
Kudos for your insights and integrity.
Just keep easing forward, keep doing what you do. None of us are never criticized. 👍🌻❤️ look at Jordan Petersen he caught holy hell, it hurts, but there’s great value in sound principle.
This is tremendous! So glad you shared your best comments, and reactions to them. It’s great to hear the positive support you’re getting. Keep your chin up.
“We get there when we get there.” That’s the reason I call it a journey. I work with teens and we discuss this often. One of the reasons listening is so important is it clarifies the point of perspective for the one behind the camera, the one with the paintbrush. I am happy to assist an a continued basis.
As horrifying as it is to hear what impressionable students are being subjected to in their graduate programs, I can’t help but think of the potential damage that these now-indoctrinated young therapists will be foisting upon the vulnerable people who eventually seek their help. Before too long, there will be legions of manipulated mental patients for the rest of us to contend with.
It’s also been happening to our teachers, lawyers, doctors, politicians, non-profits, PPPs, human resource specialists, and C-suite-level managers as well. We are so screwed.
I have Auditory Processing Disorder, so I have a unique perspective to human interaction. Language is the biggest tool that bring people together, but it also is the most judged aspect of any bodies personality because it's so key, communication is highly prized value of interpersonal interaction. The question of why someone would be woke or not.. leads me to look at group-think relationship to narcissism, I think there's a connection that narcissist can get through conflict but there needs to be a present cognitive ability for someone to find refuse in woke narcissistic tools. From my perspective I have to wonder about people who are cognitively faster at processing language, do they see ways to take advantage of others or get to practice tools of manipulation on a regular basis, and woke ideology give those people a narcissistic appealing tool to control people on a one on one environment?
Bingo. You're on the same track of thinking as my own.
Early verbal adeptness is early social adeptness. Language is symbolic and categorical, aiding in maneuvering through the intantibles of every exchange. Most people will inherently take advantage of all present systematic structures to maximize one's own leverage, advantage, and ease - as quickly, cheaply, and easily as possible - even at others expense. Narcissists simply "learn" early on that they can leverage upon others without much reciprocation or repayment - gaining unearned benefit via hypocrisy appearing as virtue - utilizing & leveraging whatever intangible systems & expectations are in place in any culture they can adeptly learn & embed themselves in. And they will value the leverage of whatever structures exist, above other persons who also stand to gain or expect value. Verbal adeptness is like athletic adeptness - an advantage on the school playground, but they do not inherently translate toward constructive and lasting virtue nor long-lasting value. Hence, the narcissist's problems as life situations become prolonged - or when their trusted artificial, collectivist, tribally-leveraged systems become deficient themselves. Narcissists aren't TRULY about universal human value and independent reasoning & interactively valuable multi-way interactions. No. They desire to be 'on top' with you as an owned vassal, who is either nothing or an accessory to their lifestyle.
@@erhardtharris8727 Wow, yes. Do you know any studies on this?
Though my investigating in to narcissism is that it's quite possible a basic human trait. So the spiritual understand of narcissism is a deep wound of jealousy, followed up by a deep desire to connect with people, though we all seek connections. So the strategies evolve, or a fantasy world forms where the narcissist is "always right" to alleviate the self perceived deficit, and they learn to speak in ways where they can secretly determine that they are always right as well. But there's more to it, the connection, leadership, confidence, things that are a traits as well, and we all live in a fantasy world of narratives, we just argue as to which one is "more" correct. There's connection in that arguments as well, as being understood by another human being is also a very real form of connection. Narcissist will just keep a little bit of secret space for themselves, and an inherent, yes, and I'm still more correct than you. Though narcissist have levels of compliance that they use on people as well. So yeah, tools like postmodernism seem to give more wings to the fantasy world narcissists live in, so that they can control people to feel more connected to people, so they bid their time to take control out of just logic of being the good person. But we all do that to some degree, seek being good relative to the tribe, so it gets confusing as to what narcissism is in terms of Evolutionary Psychology, I think there's a history of leading and being led that exists in culture and biology.
@@AstroSquid See Sam Vaknin and entraining.
A hood research topic - but good luck getting woke lecturers to sign off on it. A student in the UK had to sue his university to allow him to research detransitioners. Woke institutions are brainwashing not encouraging real research that is in opposition to their evil ideologies.
Just to say that the stand you are taking is very important and well done to you. This is on behalf of clients who have a right to be protected from ideology.
Leslie you are one of those indomitable sparks in humanity that we so desperately need. You will receive what you need.
I think your videos are excellent and would be quite helpful for other people in similar situations. A lot of people out there are facing this poisonous ideology. Your videos could help to let them know that they aren't the crazy ones. You do a good job of presenting the mental process/anguish you've gone through. I'll be linking to your videos in my comments on other channels; hopefully, others will, too. I'd like to see the number of views on your videos go way, way up.
You are not too late, just glad you have awakened and continue to awaken others. God bless you.
I became awakened about 7 years ago when my son came to us to say he was trans and after speaking with doctors and other professionals who were absolutely biased and corrupted. It just made me sick speaking with them.
I wouldn’t change a thing about u, people like u sleep well at night, clear conscience and steadfast attitude. Your degree that u u have worked hard to earn being derailed by a complying signature. Complying with a tyrant will embolden the tyrant. Stay the course armed with your dignity and a clear conviction, your heart will always lead u to the right decision.
You're doing great things. Keep it up!
I'm addressing the "late to the game critics" you mentioned. The redressing, shouting down or hyper critical zealots out there have not made a dent in the core concerns that are driving the underlying fears of the far left. So I wouldn't worry about their criticisms. I was happy to hear you express your experiences regarding the mental health professionals situation. I would like to talk by phone with you to discuss ideas on group think that can possibly make a difference. If that interest you please let me know. In either case I will continue to support you. By the way I would like to see a watch list on therapist that have or are perpetrating on their clients with this destructive messaging.
My childhood was missing basic parental emotional support in many ways. That might sound like a bad way to start your life but it ended up having certain positive side effects. I learned early that I was going to be responsible for my own happiness. I became very self reliant and independent. As a child I found ways to entertain myself and I discovered hobbies and became a good student in school. It gave me a certain kind of strength inside that helped me deal with any challenge that happened to come across my path. It helped me to defend against peer pressure and efforts to condition me in negative ways. I was rarely afraid to challenge authority and I acquired very good critical thinking skills because I never trusted anybody by blindly following. I learned to do research and became very resourceful when it came to problem solving and understanding life's challenges. This process fed on itself. Currently I love to learn and discover things for myself and even your story is an opportunity to learn from what you are going through and how we can all learn to make the world a better place.
Omg you speak for me. Similar and feel blessed to be as I am!
You are such a beam of sunshine.
Truth and Wisdom.
May your popularity continue to increase, fair maiden.
Keep up the amazing work! What you are doing is truly inspiring.
The world is better with you sharing your perspective. I feel that shining light on the ideologies is what’s needed to snap people out of going along with it. Or allowing it to take over worse.
Thanks, Dani!
You have NO responsibility to respond to people. And, if you do? It will drive you crazy. Respond in general to the majority of those who write. Make a specific video, and maybe list their names only, on the video itself. This is for your own safety & for your own sanity.
I will be trying myself to contact you, with information that you may find useful, and that may help explain much to you. I want nothing, whatsoever, except to impart what I know, and what I've learned, over the past 40+ years.
Your fight is important, but please understand, so is your safety- and there are powers out there, who will not like your message. I just hope you'll take this to heart.
You should contact Brett Weinstein at the Dark Horse podcast/UA-cam channel, I’m sure he would love to interview you.

I am just a random 57 year old guy who has been studying the “structure of power” if you will, on this Planet for almost 30 years now. Meaning, who owns who and what...following the money...Royalty, Banking, Governments, Think Tank Groups, Law, Contracts, Ancient History ect. Of course it changed me and my life. I have been exposing as much as I can to whoever I can whenever I can. The Truth does set us free and I am compelled and driven to expose all that is wrong and hidden.
I feel compelled to tell you this for some reason and that I am proud of You and what you are doing. Please keep it going! The World needs it right now.

For your consideration, by becoming a licensed therapist, you would need to agree to be bound by the ethics of the APA (regardless of its direction). For myself and my wife, though we earned accredited Master's degrees in counseling, we chose not to go that path and are now relationship coaches (which is unregulated at this time). We also do not take third party payment (which can limit options for clients), but depending on the type of help and work you want to do with others, the education may be very beneficial, but the degree and licensure may not be. (And, who knows, they may also strip such licensure from those in the future who go against their narrative or ideological agenda. That was another reason we did not do the licensure path... so much hard work and too easy for someone to strip it away with their agendas. Perhaps the *real* play here is for people to create a parallel organization to the APA which approves of counselors without requiring the leftist ideological framework that people who care about such things will value and look for *that* seal of approval instead of the existing establishment one.)
Thanks for an update
Your strong, courageous, and compassionate
The world needs more brave people like yourself to stand up. You are actually living the principles your detractors are supposed to represent!
Thank you for sharing this Leslie. I'm a 4th year medical student, and have experienced extremism very similar to what you say in my program. Dissent is impossible, and other students who have dissented to these views have already been expelled or transferred. The indoctrination is mandatory, at least at my program, and I along with the few centrist / right of center students among us avoid all political conversations and engagement as a result. A vivid memory from earlier in the curriculum was an "ethics" seminar that had students pair up and discuss their beliefs on abortion and Catholic hospitals after a short lecture on the needs for abortion, and the inherent "evil" of Catholic medical practice. Please keep strong and continue speaking on this - I would speak out too if I didn't have to give up my career I've worked so hard for. Medicine board certification is gatekept by these ideologies, and unfortunately, if we wish to maintain voices of truth and grounded reality, many will have to suffer through these curricula and be trampled by the stampede in the process.
You're so brave
At a crossroads myself. Just not happy to be violated but feel for the sake of people needing mental health support I should push on. Already feels too big to fight 😔
You are doing great work. And I want to give you my support
You are clearly a very thoughtful person. I hope you complete your certifications and keep sanity alive in your profession.
You deserve respect for your courage. Standing up against the Woke mandate is nothing short of pure courage. Like you say, it does not matter when you wake up to the terrible ideas forced through the social justice mandate, the important thing is that you have spoken up. I applaud you!
Had an ironic incident at work. I was trying to add an additional signer to a clinical note. I wanted to give them a heads-up to the content of my session with their client. They use a different name from the one they were given. In accordance with their wishes and with agency guidance, I was duly referring to my colleague by their preferred name - so much so that, over time, their given name had escaped me. Using their preferred name had become my natural reference. When I tried to add them to the clinical note I was unable to accomplish the directory lookup because the patient record system (which is all the institution really cares about) uses their given name in the electronic directory system. I had to call a third person to inquire as to the genderless colleague's given name. At that point I reflected there was some irony to the work atmosphere. I'm quite certain the institution uses their given name in every single official transaction such as pay processing. Funny they reserve that prerogative.
Thank YOU!
You are absolutely not late to anything! You are walking your own path so courageously and honestly and humanely. I truly admire you for standing up for what is right and exposing true racism and anti humanism.
Hi Leslie, I imagine you've also gotten supportive feedback from people who are not white. I find this important to note because, in my experience, many of the well-meaning white colleagues in my program have the perception that non-white people are a monolith. This is a fallacy. To me, monoliths only exist when people are stuck in immature forms of groupthink, trauma-bonding, and lack of individuation/differentiation. As an Asian man, there was a time where a portion of CRT appealed to me. The multicultural perspectives class at my grad program re-evoked childhood memories and adult experiences of racism that I internalized as a sense of not being enough. But this can be said of any sort of trauma or unpleasant experience. Should the fact that I wear glasses be grounds for me and other sympathizers to launch a woke campaign to force people with 20/20 vision to apologize for their vision privilege? That would be ridiculous. While there may be legitimate things CRT speaks to, it offers no sense of personal responsibility. It isn't about true empowerment, but about remaining in the drama triangle and using that as grounds for being resentful and entitled. Once I realized that, I no longer cared for hunting for reasons to feel resentful and powerless. Collectivism in and of itself is not the gold standard. It simply is, and sometimes it carries a lot of problems. I'm optimistic that many people who are not white already see through this or are beginning to see through it. I certainly do and absolutely support your integrity in speaking to this issue. Now many non-white people have to deal with supposedly well-meaning and virtuous racial profiling of white people programmed with this mind virus. It's truly mind boggling 😂
Thank you. Yes, I've had support from people of all racial backgrounds. I agree with what you're saying here. I think CRT isn't dangerous specifically because of its anti-whiteness, but because it reduces people to stereotypes and uses individuals as a means to an end on the population level. We all deserve to be seen for who we are, not as representatives of a given racial group.
True words. Trauma, abuse, loss etc are universal experiences. There are racists in EVERY race.
Thank you for your courage. I wish I had had your courage to speak out publicly during my radically woke counseling grad school experience. By posting these videos you are combatting groupthink. Becoming a paid subscriber of independent news outlets that regularly draw attention to woke ideology and groupthink also helps (Eg. Timcast, TheJimmyDoreShow, Russell Brand’s UA-cam show, Bari Weiss’ Substack Common Sense, The Daily Wire, etc.).
I was wondering what would happen. I saw your content earlier this week by chance. Way to go and be encourage. More and more people are waking up to the deception and you and others like you need everyone to show support. Go forth and be victorious!!
I always go down the comment history and thumbs up everyone...
Outstanding. Outstanding.
Getting out of an abusive situation like the one Antioch is trying to put you in is absolutely the right thing to do. “With friends like that, who needs enemies?”
You are finding the path that is right for _you._ Trust your instincts. You’ve invested a lot in this career direction, but it doesn’t mean mean you have to stick with it. Or, maybe you’ll be a leader in creating a new type of ‘anti-woke’ therapy. :)
Thanks for your efforts, Leslie. Keep up the good work.

Terry have you seen the report by Carole Sherwood and Kirsty Miller? (The Politicisation of clinical psychology in the UK) and also Amy Gallagher's suing the NHS?? I have grown so despondent. As an ex social worker wanted to complete a counselling course but can't see myself threatened to enforce these radical, marxist ideas. We literally need a new psychological council - an alternative one with its own course structure. As the situation stands the stress is just not worth it but with mental health services already stretched how do we walk away from people desperate for services? Such a personal dilemma.
The only way to have a centered and grounded society is for reasonable people to speak the truth as they see it, even if doing so comes at a person cost.
heavy deal. Rooting for you. Stay true :)
The issues you're facing won't end if/when you graduate. Unless you are successful in private practice (which will still require contact with the woke field for your license), these problems will hound you in most agencies and husinesses throughout your career. I recently left and would never go back. It's a depressing and broken field that usually does more harm than good IMO. Glad to be done with it--life is way better away from those (mostly incompetent and damaged) people.
The true change needs to be a different professional body and code of conduct and different courses with thus shit removed. Jordan Peterson said Universities would be replaced eventually. I believe him.
Thank you!!
You are not wrong. Don't worry about your critics on either side.
I sent ur stuff to a bunch of people I know in higher ups stay strong unity
Subscribed!
Wonderful channel and videos.
Also love your Texas necklace! 😊
Thanks for sharing.
Yes, exactly, we're all on our own path. For change to be successful, that principle is critical. Otherwise, we just dig into oppositional positions and there is no change.
I love this video and I love you for doing it! Keep up the great work. You are providing a forum for other people who are also suffering under the imposition of CSJ.
Lady, you have articulation and insight and most importantly a firm grasp on decent and commonly shared ethics among average Americans. And with these, you could be on Tucker Carlson in 6 months I'll bet.
Especially if others of your level of ability and willingness joined you. Whew- plenty of folks could be heard, and boy are the ones your outting gonna get nasty with you. But you would have a lot of people with you.
Tucker Carlson is a racist/transphobic idiot.
@@bruceclark6520 yeah, he's a pretty down to earth guy.
@@ronniescopeline7486 anyone who can concur and repeat Trump’s big lie, and believes the antisemitic “Great Replacement” theory is not “down to earth”, he’s scum of the earth.
@@bruceclark6520 another Communists scripted response.... Yawn....
@@ronniescopeline7486 I’m not a Communist. I’m unapologetically pro democracy which is something you probably don’t believe in yourself.
*I just saw your video covering this*
Read the Sue & Sue "Counseling the Culturally Diverse: Theory and Practice" textbook that seems to be a staple of teaching "culturally sensitive counseling". Derald Wing Sue has been putting out material steeped in leftist ideology for over 30 years. The book was first published in 1981 and is now on its 9th edition. He's an ideologue, born and raised in Portland, OR to a wealthy, privileged Chinese-American family.
Your research interests (7:18~7:45) are the same interests that propelled me to choose psychology over political science as an undergrad in 2010. But reviewing psych literature on authoritarianism for a research proposal left me deflated. Fundamental questions hadn’t been answered, much less asked in a dispassionate, non-partisan way.
All my gratitude-I’m in, seatbelt fastened, and excited to see where the conversation leads.
We need a movement of attacking the attackers? We cannot be divided and picked off individually? These attacks are career destroying mainly for silly ideologies? How can it help society to have gifted people like this lovely lady be put into scrap heaps?
My thoughts too. Someone needs to organize us to stand against this evil.
thank you for you videos. I am not in this this field at all but I am trying to understand this unexplained ideology that is becoming prevalent I think everywhere in our society, and this is helpful. Thank you for speaking out about it.
Keep up the great work. You are doing the right thing and your bravery is appreciated.
I was going to type out a lengthy complimentary comment but I just liked, subbed and donated instead.
Thank you, blujay!
Nice to see other like minded people speaking up , 👍👍🇨🇦
No, it's not just Antioch. This excrement be happening from sea to shining sea.
We are all late to the game. It's what we do when we get here that matters. And you are taking a stand.
I wrote a book several years ago on Creating New Societies. In this book I described the four types of people and their roles.
1. Explorer
2. Pioneer
3. Settlers
4. Gunslingers
I am explorer. With solutions and early fighting. With the scars to prove it.
You are the pioneer. Able to connect with the people and make practical changes.
Most people are settlers. Don’t like change. Obey the culture rules. It is only when enough explorers and pioneers have physically created a new way that the settlers will join. At this point it almost “overnight” society changes, though actually 20 years of strong humans to get there
The critics are the gunslingers. They will never be open to anything or like anything. Ignore them.
This is an interesting framework!
A good book is "Awake not Woke" by Noelle Mering
YOU ARE RAD FOR SPEAKING UP! Don't stress we are the majority, the controllers don't like to see us wake up.
It may be discouraging now, but NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A CLEAR CONCIENCE. Right makes might.
I'm so glad I went to university back in the 90's. I can't imagine what this must be like. The whole premise of university WAS freedom of thought and speech, fostering independent thinking (as opposed to swallowing doctrine), debate and problem solving. My undergraduate thesis was supervised by a man who had run for parliament under the Conservative Party (right wing in the UK). I've always been left wing, but currently politically homeless. Anyway, we had so many lovely discussions in his little office, and I didn't for one moment rubbish his opinions on things. We had a reasoned discussion and I listened politely to his thoughts and HE LISTENED TO ME! That is what academia should be, and everyone should be allowed to have their own opinion!!!!!!
I'm not sure what degree you were doing (or postgrad), but if it is counselling related, I think they earn so much money out of this from the "oppressed and disenfranchised" that perhaps that is why they take this tack. Certainly people who are concerned about their gender identity are often looking for counselling. Sadly, there is a lot that is narcissistic about today's forms of counselling - people who are by their own definition dysphoric spend most of their time navel-gazing and thinking about THEMSELVES. Inevitably they cannot find empathy for anyone on the receiving end of their "rights". Once I was in a bar where a woman was distressed as she found a male in the establishment's toilets. She had been raped in a toilet before. She had a very public and humiliating panic attack before the entire eating area. I was with a friend and her married gay, male child. The gay couple made comments about why should she be so upset about a man in the Ladies toilets, and seemed like she was making a scene and a drama out of it. Basically they had NO EMPATHY at all for her. Precisely zero. A couple of years later, I saw this couple in a UA-cam documentary about furries. My friend's son was being walked in public on a leash, with a leather mask on, acting out being a "pup". His husband was walking him. 🙄 These things, I think, are the Fall of the Roman Empire all over again. In broad daylight, people act out their sexual fantasies, in the street, making everyone unwitting participants in their sex lives. 😑 No wonder they think this poor, raped woman was "uptight", they are basically m@sturbating in the street.
ENTITLED, much.
Unfortunately this is going to end in a massive backlash.
Brainy and Very Beautiful with Integrity
It is Cultural Marxism propaganda originating long ago in the Marxist Frankfurt School in Germany
I would encourage you to get in contact with Jordan Peterson or James Lindsay & see what resources & groups they can connect you with about changing the clinical psychology field. They've been fighting this stuff on the front lines. Education is essentially in it's final gasps in the West & we need people to save it from being possessed totally by the demon of Wokeness.
Crit theory etc. has spread beyond campus to the grocery store, the doctor's office, to city parks.... The most amazing thing is that so few know this. I saw it coming 30 years ago (not to brag) but rather to say the stealth of its promoters is stunning. Keep the money. You may have steep legal bills, too.
Wow so well said.
Your a hero❤
Keep up the good work Leslie!!! You are an inspiration to those who are DONE with the radical, anti-white agenda being pushed by academia.
Stellar! Who is John Galt?
Nice work
Great videos Very useful 👍👍
It's getting pretty bad in the psychology department at the UW.
I am a survivor of Social Justice abuse and ostracized whistleblower myself. Moving from Minneapolis to Texas where I have a few friends was extremely hard financially after the turmoil of the last 2.5 years, but the trade off finally being in a more open, relaxed, less political culture is worth it.
People outside of hard leftist dominated cultures (typically Northern cities in North America) don't take the most sinister interpretation. You get a lot more benefit of the doubt, and positive assumptions. People have assumed I have their political values here solely because they like me and think I have good qualities.
I'm used to being treated as pathological just for being a straight white man, and as a political enemy solely for diverging from their ideology.
Pay close attention to signs of authentic acceptance in people and places around you. Surviving the soft sciences in university will be an epicenter of Critical Social Justice nearly everywhere you go. Look at your options. You could start a better life long term in the place where you find the most openness and acceptance of human beings.
The events that occurred in 2017 on the Evergreen State College campus is an example of the things you are talking about. Bret Weinstein was at the center of the riots there. Worth listening to him on his channel.
The FIRE, and Heterodox Academy... Any awareness, or thoughts?
Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has sued an absurdly high number of so-called universities for needed reasons.
Jonathan Haidt makes me uneasy as he represents social mechanisms that are very broken relative to civil rights law, or functional socioeconomic systems. He seems rather bright and honest as academic social psych professionals go, whether at UVA or NYU over the years. (and a core co-founder of Heterodox Academy)
