Are therapists trained to react still faced to clients? From my limited experience it seems like they do and it's kind of annoying sometimes. But an overly empathetic approach feels weird too.

Very interesting video... What happens if babies always get still faces? Any personality correlations there?

ahahahah really lmao

Classical psychoanalysts do use the still face technique yeah. However the overwhelming majority of therapists nowadays practice a far more relational model (It's been proven that relationship counts for some absurd number, like 80 or 90% of the therapeutic change that happens in clients)

I like a balance between a relational and interpretative style. That way the client feels that the interpretations are made in their best interest (which is always my intention) and not from an authoritative standpoint

Yeah you hit the nail on the head. Abuse of any form including neglect (as demonstrated in the still face experiment) leads to a certain development of the brain. This development in my opinion, leads to psychopathologies such as borderline personality disorders, bipolar, schizophrenia etc etc. There is the argument around whether these pathologies are hereditary but i would strongly argue that if a child is brought up by a caregiver with the above, then the imprint on the infant would have a huge impact on their mental well-being

Please ask if you want to know anything else or are curious!

Monthly Results

It feels great to have my best month at 200z thus far. I ran and played super well. I feel like i've got some very good reads on the majority of the regs which allows me to play most spots optimally.

Hey BBB. Long time lurker, not sure why I've never posted in here as it's one of only a handful of threads that I read religiously. It is a great thread and you are a pretty inspirational figure, being able to make great money in poker whilst prioritising something else entirely.

With regards to the meditating, I've dabbled a bit but have never quite managed to maintain the consistency required to really reach the supposed benefits. I know it's quite a subtle practise and, as with most things, success is not linear but is probably something you only realise you've achieved after long periods of consistency.

Could you go into a bit more detail? Your past experiences with meditation? The types you've practised/practise? Session lengths etc etc.

I'm interested at do the benefits of meditation stack up over time?
Long term consistency vs occasional sessions?

Gz on good month, some of that was "streaming volume" too

Great month Bena! Here's to a big March!

Solid results! Hope you smash your goals this month

Well done on the month, look forward to hopefully catch some twitch sessions!

Also what does your gym routine look like?
Are you building muscle or just "maintaining" it?
How much progress per month have you achieved (+/- kg)?
