Don't take mental health (or any other kind of) advice from Steve Loftus. #BadPsychology
Screenshot of a tweet from user 'Steve Loftus' containing a clip of a woman speaking on tv. The text reads "I find it truly astounding that this woman thinks it perfectly normal and acceptable to be claiming benefits for mild anxiety while TALKING ON LIVE TV. Nobody should get benefits for anxiety, especially those that can travel to a studio, sit in an audience and talk on TV."

Upholding the hierarchy by helping people process trauma? #BadPsychology
Screenshot of a post which reads: - "psychology was always a pseudo science designed to uphold the hierarchy and enforce strict authoritarian control and has always been used for societal control and even to circumvent laws protecting people's rights"

Screenshot of a Tweet which reads: - "The greatest lesson in female psychology You are out with your friends and you offer your seat on the train to your crush so she does not have to stand. She says thanks and goes back to thinking about that friend that did not offer his seat and how mysterious he is"

If your therapist describes "a reasonable and proportional response to objective reality" as mental illness then you have a bad therapist - or there's a slim possibility that your response has not been reasonable and proportional. Or you don't understand what 'objective' means. #BadPsychology
Screenshot of a Tweet which reads: - "Therapists will be like “Yeah I know how to treat mental illness” and then only know how to treat irrational thinking, having no idea how to help people whose mental illness is actually a reasonable and proportional response to objective reality"

Post about a meeting between Keir Starmer and the Orange Buffoon - the only problem is that you can't reason with delusion, grandiosity, or narcissism.

Starmer should spend a week doing training with psychologists and another week using psychology on a kindergarten class to prepare.
There is no way he will get anywhere using intelligence and reason with Trump because neither of these qualities are present in the orange manchild.

Siri, show me an example of someone who really, really needs psychological help. #BadPsychology
Screenshot of a Tweet which reads: - "The vast majority of modern psychology as a whole field is a pseudo-science and demonic in nature, being completely reductionistic and denying the transcendent aspect of one's identity, which is itself pure and eternal. The irony is that only by living with the vision of that true and pure aspect of ourselves, which is in reality our true self (the soul), can we go beyond fear, worries, anger, mental illness, depression, and become fully stable, virtuous, peaceful and happy. Being completely materialistic and ridden with vices, those who have laid the frameworks of this field, and the majority who study it are completely clueless what is true meaning, what is true virtue, what is evil and to be avoided. No matter how much mind numbing medicines they prescribe, they never actually cure a person. Sincere faith in the Supreme Person, however, will unfailingly make the person fearless and pure." Attached to the post is an image of the sun breaking through golden clouds.

"Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man" - Aristotle

Elon just yearns for those apartheid days doesn't he?

Incidentally there are thousands of studies that show racial awareness in children - and that giving a child a diverse environment can be beneficial. #BadPsychology

The sin of empathy? This is not just #BadPsychology, it is also #BadTheology.
Screenshot of a Tweet containing a photo of Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington. The tweet reads: - "Do not commit the sin of empathy. This snake is God's enemy and yours too. She hates God and His people. You need to properly hate in response. She is not merely deceived but is a deceiver. Your eye shall not pity."

You heard it here first. The rise in male suicides is because they are just lazy and didn't 'work through it'. #BadPsychology
Screenshot of a Facebook post which reads: - "Back in my day, we didn't need therapy. We just worked harder and dealt with it. All this 'mental health' talk is just an excuse to be lazy."
