Totally agree. There's a lot in this seemingly simple topic.

Its often hard to unpick the differences that come from neurodiversity compared to the impact of living in a world that is often hard and even cruel to people who are seen as different.

Consequences of that is things that sound easy or simple rarely are.

Speaking as a psychotherapist, I wanna point out that almost no one "knows" what to say in a conversation.

We're all making it up as we go along and that's what most people enjoy about them.

Often the challenge is giving yourself permission to say what you want to say.

When people say "I don't know what to say" what's often meant by that is "I don't know what I should be saying"

If you can get past the idea that there's a right thing and a wrong thing to say, conversation can happen organically. This takes practice sadly, and means getting it wrong sometimes, and that's okay too.

I can understand why the Satanic Bible might look like dogma, I don't agree that it is. And religions like the Setians specifically don't have any dogma.

I think your point generally holds true largely due to the reality of the world, in principle and philosophy though, totally possible to find counter examples.

I suspect Satanists and others on the left hand path would disagree but I agree you're functionally correct

Where as the only things I buy second hand are bras and socks

I'm pretty sure it's from "The Mask" where Stanley meets with Tina

I wish they'd just roll out sometimes, sure.

Me too.

Some others are low coherence media transformers..

I guess the roles within this world are pyramid shaped, training and supervision are what I see as the more rarified aspects. Which doesn't suggest a hierarchy of those roles going to the best people.

my perspective is at a certain point therapy becomes about growth rather than healing, though it never loses that aspect. Some wounds never totally heal.

I worked out therapy is a giant pyramid during my training, been working my way up since

Currently training those therapists who work in supervising other therapists.

Who teaches the watchers? I teach the watchers!
