I’m Jeremy Fox, psychology author, practitioner, researcher, and content creator who teaches you to tame trauma and subdue stress.

Mental health counselor and theorist.
Toxic positivity and authentic positivity may look similar on the surface (affirmations, optimism) but at their core? They operate on opposite attitudes toward the self. One is denial; the other is integration.

Your time and emotions are your two most precious personal resources.

These are constantly manipulated and tempted by marketing tactics aimed at dehumanizing you and extracting your effort while offering little in return.

Trauma’s not just a memory. It’s a lens. Therapy doesn’t erase it; it refocuses. How can you adjust your view today?

Church hurt and spiritual abuse come in the form of being told “you’re a bad Christian if you experience depression,” when depression truly means you’re overwhelmed and need support.

What other forms of church hurt and spiritual abuse have you noticed? What should I address next?

Philosophically-inclined people often cling to the “rational choice” model of human behavior, which is a huge miscalculation and will not help you to understand many or even most human beings. Here’s why:

Many people behave based on a cocktail of habit, emotions, and reactions.

Crucial wisdom I have to remind myself to heed:

Lay down your worries after you’ve done all you can to address them. Focus on the talents and passions you can control at present. Build the now, rather than focusing on what was wrong then, or what could happen next.
