Look at this cute letter from Freud to Lou Andreas Solomé. She lived in Russia, post revolution, and was broke. In a previous letter he sent her money.

Ina Garten’s risotto recipe instructs:
“The correct heat is important in making risotto. It should be ‘lively”; too high heat and the grains don’t cook evenly, and too low heat will result in a gluey mess.”

I never thought I’d see the parallels between cooking risotto and psychotherapy….

The collaborative nature of psychotherapy should be clearly spelled out...The therapist can meet the patient halfway, but not much further.

Periodically we should remind ourselves that if helpful suggestions and sympathy from people were sufficient to work out a significant emotional problem, nobody would need a therapist.

From a secular standpoint I still agree with this.

Forgiveness won't, imo, have the same positive impact on the forgiver if underpinned by a coercive quality - if in that circumstance it could still be considered forgiveness at all.
I think when forgiveness is framed as an obligation or commandment it risks re-abusing abused individuals

I also think that’s one of the most common misreadings of scriptures such as the Pater Noster

It's only fitting that my first post should be a repost of a pun. Thoroughly Thorgettable.
