      similarly, praising a dog in a high state of anxiety or frustration cements the prevalence of that mind state. the solution becomes the problem as the original problem disappears and constant application of the solution is the only solution to the solution.

      16. "Too much praise can be almost as harmful as too much criticism. They seem opposite, but the underlying message is the same: the parent puts a high value not on who the child is, but on what he does."

      successfully breaking behaviors also benefit from *lack* of success. e.g. if the dog is constantly trying to eat the cat food, succeeding with the first reprimand isn't enough to ingrain the message since the repetition count is just one due to the severity of the reprimand.

      "half-reprimands" that create continued attempts allow the message to be "shaped" without fear. fear is a symptom of heavy reprimands where the anti-behavior being shaped is too coarse and wide. e.g. a hard rule of "always wear a sweater young lady" or "never ever talk to X ppl"

      if "full reprimands" are too harsh the opposite reaction of avoidance punts. e.g. putting the cat food away so the dog can't reach it. it does "solve" the problem but b/c it gets rid of the problem instead of resolving it it results in environment control as a cope.

      "put on sandals instead of covering the world with leather" seems like an easy thing to do, but what it's really saying is "watch your step, not the world."https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1358910457256439808?s=20 …

      “nowness” isn’t about passive acceptance but active steering. most of the time we *know* how to balance situations but are stuck replaying an injustice in the mind, and oversteering to compensate.

      avoiding fear and coping w/ fear are both ineffective methods of dealing with fear since they don't actually deal with it. its resulting judgements of good/bad is just the default fallback behavior of learning when communication/understanding breaks down.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1357359798698733569?s=20 …

      combining clicker training with negatives actually DECREASES effectiveness of the clicker. freedom from fear is the MAIN accelerator. pic.twitter.com/X2Th43rquK
