In explaining my view of trauma release (TR), as compared to Psychologists. TR to me is a event, and to psych it's a process. I assume any client change requires a TR event. My goal is to make TR more probable, call me on it if my advice does not support the goal.

@DissonantLogic I hate the low cubicles, thanks for reminding me😢🙂

the cage was never the walls. it started as a building. a circular prison where inmates couldn't see the watchtower clearly enough to know if anyone stood inside it. that uncertainty did the warden's job for him. behavior changed not because force was applied, but because force might be. the possibility was enough. then someone noticed that the possibility was always enough. systems of power don't build from scratch. they watch what already works, strip it to its mechanism, and move it somewhere new. the panopticon didn't stay a prison. the logic migrated into schools, workplaces, social platforms, bureaucracies anywhere humans could be made to feel observed. the architecture became invisible because it no longer needed walls. what foucault understood is what power has always known: you don't need to watch everyone. you need everyone to believe they might be watched. at that point, the apparatus can go home. the population runs itself. the most efficient control is the kind that makes itself unnecessary.

@ApeDukat @RachelZader Grok says <5% of all cars on road, up to 10% of new cars, up to 40% for premium cars.

@TraumaInformd @RachelZader Almost all of them now?

Why are the high beam LED lights the norm now by the way? They seem very unsafe for in-town driving bc no one can fucking see past them

@DanketyDankDank @RachelZader I do plenty of night driving and I don't see Teslas as the worst offender, so which cars has adaptive lights? CYBRTRK no, S, 3 or X, don't know, MY yes, I'll pay more attention in the future. Hills have always been a problem.

@TraumaInformd @RachelZader teslas are the worst offenders as far as stock headlights go

@col_f4gg0tron9k @RachelZader Many cars don't adapt to hills, I haven't noticed that on bumps.

@TraumaInformd @RachelZader Yeah but the Tesla's fucking FLASHBANG you every time it goes over a bump. They do adjust -- But it's SO SHIT it would be >>less<< painful if they turned off that feature. There's nothing shittier than shitty mitigations for shittiness that shouldn't have ever even happened.

@tullyfur @Jurassic_Liz @RachelZader Grok says- NHTSA approved Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) systems in February 2022

@TraumaInformd @Jurassic_Liz @RachelZader Matrix headlights are illegal in the US. The cars usually have them but they are disabled in software at the factory for US spec models.

@JDHaltigan Basic trauma theory says no way, we are passed a mix of trauma from our parents. We find some trauma in a child that is also present in a parent. I don't know the mechanism, but it's there.

It is astonishing that the "Blank Slate" notion of human life is still entertained by virtually all radical progressive leftists.

@drterrysimpson You would think more people have access to @EthicalSkeptic 's work, what a shame.

No cancer has not exploded. Cancer in people under 50 has been rising since the 1990s—decades before COVID vaccines existed. Tumors don’t develop population-wide in 12–24 months from a new exposure.

@Jurassic_Liz @RachelZader Audi (with Pella) were the originators.

@Jurassic_Liz @RachelZader I thought the Matrix lights were pioneered in Germany, you would think the Mercedes has them.

@DrKristieLeong @BrandonLuuMD An interesting contagion theory.🤔

@BrandonLuuMD If loneliness is transmissible through brief interactions with sleep-deprived people, how much of the modern loneliness epidemic is a sleep-deprived society rather than social media or isolation?

One night of sleep loss makes people more socially withdrawn and lonely. Even more concerning: strangers rated them as lonelier and were less interested in interacting with them.

@NTFabiano One may be able to suppress the emotion, but not the flight/fight chemical dump that turns off the immune system.

Emotional suppression is associated with an earlier death.

@EmbodimentwithK I love your journey of exploration and healing. In it I recognize commonalities and something that is uniquely yours. There's no one way up the mountain.🔥

Being whole requires you to admit there are black holes within you. As you admit that, you can begin to tell the stories that integrate these spaces. It can begin by describing sensations. Sitting and breathing - not running away. Finding someone safe to tell the story too. Telling the story by itself, is not always enough for us to become whole. Sometime we must teach the body we are safe now. That takes others. Friends. Partners. Children. Cats, and dogs, and fury Friends too.

@DrAnnieHickox I just wish more people knew of that possibility. "you may call me a dreamer"🎶

@TraumaInformd I think that pattern is very well known and is an important feature of much of the research on PTSD.

Don’t worry, be happy.

@psycheureka Repeat triggering any trauma is long term unhealthy, same for cycling the denial system. Problem is that you have to trigger it to resolve it, and without a practice that helps non-reaction (mindfulness), and no resolution, you will grow the problem.

Psychotherapy is often treated as risk-free because it is “only talking.” But that assumption is clinically dangerous. Like any effective treatment, psychotherapy can have adverse effects. And if clinicians do not monitor them, harm can be missed 🧵👇

@DoctorPerin What I always disliked about CBT was how it handled triggered behavior and the thoughts / emotions that are programmed but not logical. But the amygdala...😢

Why so many Cognitive Behavioral Therapists say they are “big B, little c”

@AimTrue7 I can see repetitive behaviors become habit and becoming a default behavior. I wonder how they compare to trauma, they mess with brain, do they mess with biology, do they grow in intensity like trauma, does the denial system ignore them or try to bury them, are they energetic?

When your voice is silenced by shushing, or asking you be quieter it is absorb in the body. You learn to hold your breath, change your tone & your body sees your voice as a threat. When your voice isn’t valued as a child you learn to quietly move in the world, unseen, unheard.

@CernBasher I would buy a Cybercab for my circle of friends that need rides home from bars and other reasons I get called to help out with. It would make FLEX ride outdated.

@MikhailaFuller just interviewed Dr Chris MasterJohn EP 231 on Mitochondria, very interesting, very detailed. podcastaddict.com/the-mikhaila-p…
