I am a huge fan. One day a long time ago I was accidentally driving through Texas on my way to somewhere better and I stopped at a Dairy Queen to get some pancakes, which they had for some reason. This song played in the restaurant, which surprised the hell out of me.
My favorite song by them is probably “For Phoebe Still a Baby” or “A Kissed Out Red Floatboat,” though I love most Cocteau Twins songs, tbh.
Glad you made it!
The US is that asshole at the bar who is in everyone’s face talking while the people they’re bothering are just nodding, smiling, and looking around out of fear.
I agree strongly with this post.
Pornography Disintegration Kiss Me, Kiss Me Kiss Me
It was tough to choose a third but Kiss Me won the tiebreaker because it was my introduction to the Cure.
Imagine screaming “still love the truck, though” while burning to death on a cybertruck. There is no reason that shouldn’t be the US national anthem.
Is that “Jesus” the exclamation or “Jesus” the prophet or whatever?
I did that before I responded. Sorry to interject if it didn’t fit.
If you’re in a city and your therapist isn’t a grad student—but maybe even if they are—they’re going to be able to refer you to someone who does EMDR if you ask. Another great trauma modality is somatic experiencing, though that’s harder to find than EMDR. A lot of practitioners on insurance panels can still provide this type of specialty service.
I’m not going to say that the methodology doesn’t matter, but the #1 factor in whether therapy is going to work for someone is the level of trust with the therapist. That tops methodology, education, everything else. Certain therapies absolutely help certain things, but a good therapist isn’t trying to get anyone to “conform.”
I’m a therapist. If any therapist ever tells you your suffering isn’t real, fire them. I’ve mostly been working with kids (under 21) for years. Typically, while all the kids I see have real problems, the kid sent to the therapist is the healthiest one in the family. So yeah, people who aren’t in therapy who try to send people to therapists usually need it more.
Hopefully he doesn’t get charged with a hate crime for saying Free Palestine. I hope he fully recovers and lives long enough to see a single, free Palestinian state.
