Can we STOP promoting LASIK like it's some miracle cure? No one should be getting LASIK, it's INCREDIBLY fucking dangerous. The industry LIED to consumers about its safety. I am LEGALLY FUCKING BLIND after LASIK. I have friends who have attempted suicide bc of LASIK!

This thread is fucking wild
My stance on euthanasia is really one of those things that I’ve started questioning a lot over the past few years. Grew up with it sort of being liberal common sense (which, well, says a lot) but you read how it’s actually being deployed and damn..

Childhood trauma doesn’t just come from what you experience, it’s also about what you don’t experience. Here’s some examples:— Dr. Nicole LePera (@Theholisticpsyc) October 11, 2022

time and time again i keep finding that pooping is one of the best analogies for talking about emotion. i hesitate to use it because it's a bit gross, but ime it almost always gets the point across simply and clearly— Visakan Veerasamy (@visakanv) January 13, 2024

Feel like I can share my story about BetterHelp. During a particularly dark time and being affected by Israeli lobbyist attacks on me and my livelihood, feeling paralysed, lost, I signed up to trial online therapy.

working harder, getting increasingly heated/angry, past a threshold where its not working, will typically make things worse. everything gets more knotted and tense. overwhelming the bottleneck https://t.co/EP69fo5ZwE— Visakan Veerasamy (@visakanv) June 9, 2023

I’m going to talk about therapy.The world needs more high-profile people to talk about it, help normalize it, explain why it’s good, and remove the stigma surrounding it. I have what, like 70k followers? That’s enough to start getting the message out there.— Yishan (@yishan) November 5, 2022

If you were “mature for their age” you might have been parentified. Parentification is when a child is made to fill an adult role. This is an “invisible” trauma that has life long impact. HERE’S WHY: 🧵— Dr. Nicole LePera (@Theholisticpsyc) October 16, 2022
Parentification is an extremely common family dynamic where children are expected to: manage their parents emotions or issues (most common is marital problems), take care of the home & siblings on a regular basis, or act as a peer to a parent.
Children adapt quickly to this role. They learn they must betray their own needs, desires, & emotions to keep the connection to a parent.
Many children feel a fierce sense of loyalty to the parent thats parentifying them.
They want to fix, rescue, & protect that parent. It’s a true role reversal.

The use of fear to control children is so ubiquitous that most adults don’t even realise they are doing it. They’d never describe what they are doing that way. But in so many different ways, the children feel it. Here’s what it looks like. 1/— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) October 14, 2022
