Yes! Internal Family Systems Therapy expressly uses systems thinking

@MarkusR Agreed

Hi guys, Did a 10 minute mantra meditation just now. I find my breathing rate goes in line with the speed at which I say my mantra in my inner dialogue. The one I ended up on had a continuing 'o' sound to it, and the longer my 'o' was the longer i breathed in for. Near the end I just continued to hold the 'O', and my body started shaking in my stomach area, and i started to hyperventilate, whilst I kept the same 'o' sound going in my inner dialogue. My timer went off during this so I stopped. But it reminded me a lot of TRE shaking,if people know that. I've been trying to access my stomach with that technique for a while, and this feels really promising. Trauma release, perhaps, me thinks. Anyone got any thoughts on what my have been going on here? Thanks in advance :).

@Nahm I don't understand

Check the blog section

I think even the term, 'propaganda' is a propaganda term. Its just marketing at the end of the day. But it doesn't serve the interests of many powerful group for 'marketing' to become a dirty word.

@Medhansh Lol is Leo really meaning that by high-quality porn? I don't think so myself. I sincerely do love a good story line tho lol. "Mum I'm stuck in the washine machine again! Help me pls!" "Okay, I'll help you son. Here you go, I'll pull you out." "Mum! No! Don't pull me out by my dick!" ?

Damn, that's a high lay count for you then

I'd recommend listening to this podcast regarding addiction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5meU_-EnVk&t=78s I think IFS could help you out a great deal. I'm also aware that porn addiction is sometimes related to sexual trauma, too. So, that might be something to think about too. However, that's just me throwing out ideas for you. IFS can deal with that too, if it is indeed an issue for you. Good luck!

The movie: Gone Girl

I've noticed some girls & guys do that to me. I think wat you did was absolutely solid regarding calling them out on their bullshit. I'm in the same situation regarding my emotional reactions, I feel like a child. It sucks, and I'm still looking for how to do it. I find it hard to draw boundaries when I'm feeling like that.

Also, people need to watch the, 'start here' videos.

I really like the sound of this. Respect for taking this step, Leo.

@axiom I'd be screaming lmao

I think a major issue is I don't think many people actually engage with Leo's content in the recommended way. Leo recommends where to start via the, 'Start here' tab. For example, understanding how important spiral dynamics is for Leo's content, I understand why making a video on how to get laid is important. However, if you're unaware of this, and watch the video, then it looks to some spiritual types like Leo is delving into lower consciousness work, rather than actually an attempt at psychological integration. Also, I think many guys here are projecting their dads onto Leo lol. Fuck it I've done it before. I think there are critiques to be made. However, I don't see many reasonable ones made. I personally support you Leo. I got your back.

It sounds like shit is really, really rough for you still Preety. I dont know you intimately, but I'm right behind you, nonetheless. I believe in you.

How about taking the step of taking away the PM feature of this website before taking down the forum? I get that it must be stressful and time consuming to run the forum, nonetheless.

Have been checking out your previous posts on the forum about, and it seems to me that your opinion towards it changes from time to time. I'm curious what your current opinion on it is now? I've seen your back in the game from your blog posts.

I think his post was about the circularity of science/ logic, and how science & logic can't prove themselves. I'd look into the epistemic regress arguments on wikipedia. Logically, racism & sexism aren't right/ wrong because logically it cannot be said that anything is true or untrue. Its hard to actually communicate what I'm trying to because every sentence requires an assumption of truth lol. Basically, take anything you think is true, and what is the justification for it being true? Then ask what the justification for that justification being a valid justification is, and dig until you find a base justification. And, if you don't find one, well, then that certainly changes things

@Yarco I think your advice goes too far. I'd work more on the mindset that means that you see the state of your skin as not acceptable. Unless it causes you a lot of issues. I'd probably visit a doctor if it causes you problems.

@Ones You're welcome chief

I get you dude. I've been in a similar state of numbness for most of my life. And re the advice issues, its nuts. I sometimes laugh at how ridiculously unhelpful it is. 'Just go outside bro' is a classic lmao. You might like the musician, 'Lund'. I found he's one of the few I can relate to. I'm personally putting my faith in IFS therapy, as my means of living the good life.

@Terell Kirby What is your life purpose?

Fair play. Credit to you for having the open-mindedness to experiment with things like this.
