Tooky History: Clipart but potentially triggering

@Former-Member So this is about how much you participate in the footy viewing is it?

oh @soul one thing I do like about Dr Simon is he uses the term "character disturbance" rather than any of the traditional labels.. so his work and articles then read more objectively because he doesn't designate traditional DSM labelling to his insights and seminars. I think that is really important when trying to learn what we might or might not be dealing with, or even for people trying to learn about themselves.

Yes that's it. Only I am kind of less happy looking. More like this

@Former-Member - i used to be interested in it big time, but it's part of the old me that I am happy to let go of.

@soul remember you used the term "gaslighting" in the CBT/Mindfulness session?

Here is a little excerpt and link to articles on that from Dr Simon:

"Manipulators and the “Gaslighting” Effect

It’s not easy to see the inherent aggression in the tactics manipulators typically use. So victims often experience what has come to be known as the “gaslighting” effect. Dealing with a skilled manipulator can make you feel crazy. You know in your heart there’s something not right about them. But their artful use of tactics has you thinking you have the problem. Manipulation (i.e. covert-aggression) is truly crazy-making behavior. (See also my other articles on gaslighting and the gaslighting effect.)"

hahaha @Former-Member maybe mine is just you saying "hi" to the littlies and guests, not really acknowledging the footy 😄

@Former-Member - had a little look at Dr Simon. Have had my quota of research for today. Having a break.

understandable.. @soul specially if you have been reading that other book. 🙂 but when you recharge the gaslighting one/s is worth a look. But yeah, you need to be recharged for sure because he makes important points and if not in concentrating mood important stuff can be missed.

@Former-Member your pic is still not up. 😞

@Former-Member hey do you need:
