@debraj112 Same Iine in research circles when you talk about diversity in research funding ("but they have to be generalizable studies"-- FOR WHO, WP?) "Diversity researchers have to have a credible track record" (YOU MEAN LIKE ALL THE NEW INEXPERIENCED WM & WW researchers you just

@debraj112 create or present ("You can't do that b/c you HAVE TO ASK EVERYONE THE SAME QUESTIONS-doest matter that because they can't relate you get a negative response for that measure when infact if you tailor it in such a way that it tracks with culturally relevant experiences

@OvertheMoon4you@awaisaftab Yes... And given we have yet to really discuss or seriously look at electricity as first cause and last resort (I mean what do Docs do just before calling TOD ... HINT: see code blue for crash cart)

Language is linear LIFE IS NOT nor are t/complexities we are made of, exchange & that arise/function organically in a reflexive recursive manner. In a universe where 4% of what it's made of is known & 96% remains a mystery any argument abt anything seems ridiculously presumptuous
And especially among those of us who think to KNOW anything. A better conversation is WHAT WORKS... Theory and models that get in the way of life and clinical practice ARE A SIGN THAT WE A PLAC OK NG SOMETHING ON REALITY and reality is telling us THAT DOESN'T FIT. How long

we continue that very unhealthy argument depends on just how much we need to be "experts" how arrogant we want to be and how much we believe in dogma vs just looking newly each time 3/ End
@trying2help@Justin_Ling And it's very closely aligned with my theory of how abusers epigenetically alter their neural architecture & DNA passed down gen after gen.
6 Centuries of WP & GENERATIONS OF WHITE AMERICANS (including silent White Mod Maj by-stander beneficiaries have done this) who demand

Sum that all up based on simple mendelian genetics and vwella you've got 3/4th White Americans voting GOP to punish Af-Am/POC/Poor/LGBTQ non-Christian etc....basically anyone they don't like; who at the very least will

Seriously? No one integrates?
Why does it have to be Psychotherapy (better) vs CBT (worse) ? Who is so rigid they ONLY provide 1 PET TX?
B/c therapy is abt what works for T/PATIENT NOT YOU only providing your 1 PET TX
& FYI: No TX approach is wholly effective on its own
Moreover I don't agree with the posted descripts as written. How they are described is at the very least disparaging for one TX APPROACH but those comments are neither textbook universal nor a given and thankfully DO NOT match my training in CBT. As for psychotherapy I was
