Psychotherapy

I think even with psychotherapy in the back of my mind I will always crave that feeling of absolute freedom and lightness.

It feels like I'm stuck in a body that is not actually mine and it's soo freaking annoying and uncomfortable. Every itch, clothing item is constricting and annoying me more. My own heartbeat is also annoying me.

I enjoy Aurora's music.

I think that even with psychotherapy I would not change much in the way I prefer to dress, how I actually view the world (logic mixed with a bit of empathy which is a bit naive, but I am who I am and maybe a bit autistic), the way I act - sometimes logical and sometimes unpredictably chaotic, how… read more

Before recently, I never realized that me… read more

Is there a cure for mental illness?

Although medication and psychotherapy can be effective, they will not magically fix things. If you are undergoing treatment, whether it be… read more

Wim Hof Method

I've been practicing the Wim Hof method (with varying consistency) for two years now and it has honestly had the biggest impact on my overall nervous system regulation and stress levels compared to any other healing or wellness modality I have tried, including yoga, meditation, plant medicine, DBT,… read more

Books about group therapy

What could you advise? Preferably fiction, written by psychologists, but scientific also could be nice. I read and liked: The Science of Being Alive - Bugental Theory and practice of group psychotherapy - Yalom Schopenhauer cure - Yalom
