2 days agoIn Brooklyn, cognitive behavioral therapy is helping young men redefine masculinity
"They didn't know how to express themselves. If you ask them how they felt, they will tell you what they did versus the actual feeling," Cooper said. "That's what made me take a deep dive in cognitive behavioral therapy, utilizing that as a tool to teach them how to emotionally regulate, and then to be able to articulate those emotions to the people that they care about."

6 hours agoPsychology says the people who genuinely seem happy aren't more optimistic or more grateful than everyone else, they're the ones who stopped chasing the feeling a long time ago and quietly built a life small enough, honest enough, and slow enough that happiness had nowhere left to hide from them - Silicon Canals
Genuinely happy people are content and have given up the pursuit of happiness, focusing instead on building lives that fit them.

1 hour agoNobody talks about why self improvement quietly works for some people and turns into a treadmill for everyone else, and it isn't discipline or the right system, it's that the ones it works for stopped trying to become someone new, and started removing the things blocking the person who was already there - Silicon Canals
Self-improvement fails when it feels like a performance; true change comes from uncovering your existing self rather than building a new identity.

15 hours agoPsychology says the most resilient people aren't the ones who never fell apart - they're the ones who fell apart quietly, rebuilt themselves with no audience, and never mentioned it - Silicon Canals
Strength comes from overcoming breakdowns, not from avoiding them.
Psychology

19 hours agoThe people who never ask follow-up questions about their friends' lives aren't disinterested. They're often so used to managing their own internal noise that taking on someone else's details feels like adding weight to a system already running at capacity - Silicon Canals
Conversations often avoid deeper topics due to cognitive load and emotional capacity, leading to surface-level exchanges.

3 days agoPsychology says the people who find it hardest to be taken care of when they're sick aren't independent, they're carrying a very old belief that needing someone was the fastest way to be left - Silicon Canals
Needing care from loved ones during illness can evoke feelings of vulnerability and discomfort, often rooted in deeper fears of abandonment.
Psychology

1 day agoThe people who never ask for help aren't independent. They learned somewhere along the way that needing something from someone always came with an invoice they couldn't afford to pay - Silicon Canals
Self-reliance often stems from early experiences that teach individuals to avoid asking for help, leading to a belief that needing others is a failure.
Mindfulness
fromSilicon Canals
2 days agoIf you've been trying to change your life and keep ending up in the same patterns, the problem probably isn't the plan, it's that the part of you making the plan is the same part of you that built the life you're trying to change - Silicon Canals
Current mindset limits the ability to create meaningful change; the same self cannot solve the problems it created.
Psychology

2 days agoPsychology says deep thinkers don't realize the reason they feel disconnected from their own life isn't depression - it's that observation became a shelter they forgot how to leave - Silicon Canals
Chronic detachment often misdiagnosed as depression or stress may stem from a learned behavior of observing rather than experiencing life.
Mental health

2 days agoThe hardest thing about healing isn't the work itself. It's the quiet grief of realizing how many years you spent believing the problem was you, when the actual problem was an environment that needed you to believe that in order to keep functioning - Silicon Canals
Family systems may require a child to remain unwell for their own functionality, leading to grief and loss when the child realizes their true self.

Anyone who is under psychiatric care, or loves someone who is, may want to read the book The Devil's Castle: Nazi Eugenics, Euthanasia, and How Psychiatry's Troubled History Reverberates Today, by Susanne Paola Antonetta. If you care about history, particularly the history of eugenics, you may be interested as well. The book may offer us more respect for the mind, for consciousness, and its diversity.
