Ffs I’ve had cups of tea that are stronger than Lachlan and Rupert Murdoch…
Quote Tweet
"Rupert testified, with respect to the lies around the 2020 Presidential Election, that 'I would have liked us to be stronger in denouncing it, in hindsight."

This is a powerful thread about a cognitive shift into embodied presence —being with what actually *is* when experiencing /facing immeasurable suffering.

After I was convicted of murder and sentenced to 26 years in prison, when the earth dropped out from beneath me, and global shame rained down on top of me, I had my first ever epiphany. /thread

Those of you in Uk and elsewhere, international distribution is still in the process of being sorted out. Roku is due to air it in the spring. Not clear if that will be on demand or scheduled at odd hours as it currently is on Tubi :(

I once blocked someone back when I used Facebook because she posted that she was waiting for her tea to cool. And here I am posting a video of my tea. Though it’s pretty weird watching adaptogens do their thing. Click on the vid for the hypnotic downward creeping creamer.

Ok, so ‘Eyes Wide Sh*t’ I get, but ‘Wild at Heart’? Wash your mouth out.
Quote Tweet
#Babylon calls to mind how many great directors have had a an epic misfire in them: Francis Ford Coppola and “One from the Heart,” Martin Scorsese and “New York, New York," David Lynch and “Wild at Heart,” or even Stanley Kubrick and "Eyes Wide Shut." bit.ly/3XvNV6J

I’m late 2 the party again —I just watched #TheMenu. I don’t want to know anything about a film before I see it bc I want the filmmakers themselves to tell me their story. I laughed so hard I would have been thrown out of a cinema for being too rowdy. Ralph Fiennes is chef’s kiss

Facts (as my kids say). Andrea’s performance was so harrowing I was in a trauma response the entire film trying to not hyper ventilate. So if you know you have unresolved trauma around alcoholism in family systems here’s your warning. The director Michael’s process with,

I don’t post a lot about films or actor performances…maybe I should more often. But for those interested in really great acting I’ll share that Andrea Riseborough’s portrayal in ‘To Leslie’ just knocked me sideways. It’s about the most fully committed, emotionally deep…

If George Santos was a drinking game, livers would unionize.
Quote Tweet
In 2020, George Santos claimed that he went to Baruch College “on a volleyball scholarship” and was on “the #1 volleyball team” that “slayed” Harvard and Yale. Santos: “I sacrificed both my knees and got very nice knee replacements from HHS playing volleyball.”

Well, as I speak 50 languages, am a five time Olympic gold medalist, own the patents to eight life-saving drugs, and designed & built the Hubble Telescope with my team of opera-singing Pygmy Marmosets using only our toes, I’d be an asset to George’s, sorry, Andrew’s team.

It’s now that I recall that I did an episode of R&M with both Justin *and* Elon. #winning. Or did Harmon replace me on that one leading to a fight between Justin and he? I can’t keep up and I’m tired. Of all of it.

a misbehaving one at that. Her with her look saying, “be cool, don’t out me, man,” and he, this clean cut Christian rocker guy taking the high, yet cool road of obliging whilst dodging a statutory rape bullet was far more entertaining than the concert could ever be.

This video reminds me of the time in high school when we were “treated” to a live Christian Rock performance. Some early twenties guys in leather jackets and jeans came out onto our lecture theatre stage and looked across the sea of pubescent girls’ faces to say hi. The lead

Liz Cheney is a broken clock that during the Jan 6 commission told the time correctly twice a day. This is despicable 👇🏼
Quote Tweet
Here is Liz Cheney spreading the same hateful lies as Steve Scalise but no network will run this clip which now has 6 million views since I first posted it. This is from 2019 and is STILL on Cheney's website TODAY in 2023.

(sorry that last one was /26) …to help the person first find some stability. SE centers mostly around completing incomplete processes in the ANS and Corrective Experiences— ie how can we resource the system in the moment during session that it did not have during the event? /27

Determining what type of container and resources we might need as a client, often starts with current symptoms, goals & current environment. Eg, SEP’s will not start a deep healing process with someone living in an unsafe environment. They’ll do what is ethically appropriate /25

The more rigid boundaries that a therapist might provide-eg strict 50 minute sessions & emergency calls only- are more appropriate for ppl. My clients with developmental trauma find unquantifiable comfort in using our text thread & in the longer term they’ll need me far less /25

Also bc I am a coach not a therapist I offer text support (with boundaries) in between sessions. With their permission I check in with them to see how they are feeling post session and help them use the tools daily on their own time to be able to rely less on my services. /24

Another thing I personally do in my practice is continue with supervision even though it’s no longer required by the org. I’m never going to stop learning. I invite more experienced POV’s bc my clients deserve the best, most updated tools and support. Humility is important /23
