mental health is the most political fucking football

I would say the issue with how identinty politics is used is it isued to disengage people from societal issues

of all

but i can totally be used to engage them

shit like the black panthers had strong socialist leanings

I still genuinely don't get those things with gender 😦

Watch contrapoints

she explains it better

sex is a biological category

it is what you are born as

gender is basically the role or expectation that one subscribes too

its perfomative

this is a simplification

better wording there

someone who is male to female

is biologically male

I think the left needs to take on mental health properly

but identifies as a woman

for sure

and start attacking CBT

ok I think I kinda get it x)

we should be using this a pushing point for healtchare

in the US

if mass shootings are a consequence of mental illness then we need to make treatment accessible

but everyone goes after guns

agreed

cuz they're so fucking reactionary

But mental health right now is reactionary

most politics are reactionary

like marketing and PR use analytic psychology

sec

Because it actually gives a better roadmap of human behaviour

CBT is just an exercise in conforming to problematic systems

shit maybe i should get some counselling

Yeah the truth is psychotherapy aka talk therapy

works

but it just takes a while

CBT is the mcdonalds of therapy

honestly I've really only started taking more of an interest in mental health because of my SO and her experiences

my last gf taught me a lot about this just by how she approached it

she finally got into psychotherapy and it helped her overcome some serious trauma from being raped as a kid
