Inspired by the Grok fiasco, combined with a recent workshop experience in which a speaker claimed a link between AI and the collective unconscious - a claim made by an actual Jungian practitioner.

Psyche is the Greek word for ‘soul’, and logos the word for ‘speech’; and the term ‘psychology’, considered in the context of its etymological roots, bears little resemblance to some of the perspectives now offered in the academy.~Liz Greene

In session today, there was a moment that I emitted a pensive 'hmmmmm' and simultaneously adjusted my glasses from the side, in a way someone might parody being a therapist. I couldn't help but laugh at myself. Fortunately I did this with a client who also appreciated the moment of levity.

Letting go of someone who isn’t making an effort isn’t giving up – it’s matching tone.
Investing in another person involves being honest with yourself, vulnerable with another, and having internal stability; foundational emotional skills for forming healthy relationship.

Self-love is…
Letting people hold the place in your life that they ask for with their behaviour.
Don’t try to make or keep someone a character in your story when they bring footnote energy.
Let footnotes be footnotes. Move on to the next chapter.

My previous career was in public health/population research and epidemiology… the macro, the big picture, the patterns.
Then I turned back towards my other great fascination – the psyche – and became a psychotherapist… the micro, the individual, and also of course, the patterns.

Lack of healthy boundaries and mutual enabling of distorted patterns of relating has long been the regular foundation of relationships; familial, friendly, and romantic. This is breaking down, evidenced by younger generations going no contact with parents, and women choosing to be single.

I have a wonderful metaphor in play currently for a therapeutic process.
I have a case of periocular dermatitis. For an embarrassingly long time, I have been using steroid cream on it, the worst possible treatment.
It suppresses the rash, but it stops it from healing, and makes it spread.
