A thread of the posts by @cait.bsky.social. They read as follows:
I had my first talk therapy session with my new therapist and she hit me with the “you’re very self-aware” ☹️
not the “pleasure to have in class” of therapy
that’s right, I know all the tools and have developed countertools so they no longer work. welcome to thunderdome
Stoicism is just dissociating philosophically
“I am not my feelings and have control of my actions beyond them” is nothing like disassociating
Sorry i was just trying to be funny. Most of these “stoic lone warrior” types do just use it to act tough by repressing emotions though
Oh absolutely, meme stoicism is a wildly different beast from the real thing. The real thing is honestly much closer to CBT than the meme version. It’s very “what you say about me says more about you than it says about me, but I should check that you don’t have a point about something I should change” rather than “I feel nothing when insulted”.
No see you saying CBT and not clarifying which one again threw me for a loop 😂😭
The online fake stoic types could benefit from both
Hah well said! 😂
And happiness is just your brain misrepresenting misery.
