You’ve probably noticed it too — people slipping into emotional regression during social media debates. It starts at an eighth-grade level, drops to fifth, then third—ends in toddler tantrum talk. The number who can think critically and stay consistent in their tone and logic is painfully small.

When I was in the Army, I wore the American flag patch on my sleeve backwards. (Same direction/view if someone were to carry a flag and pole into battle.)
It seems more appropriate now to wear it upside down to symbolize the winds of suppression holding this country down.

People will regress to the age of their most prominent traumas. The age will present itself, we just have to listen long enough to hear it.
Recent uptick in these phrase from adults
“ mean girls” = middle school
“ blah blah blah” = pre-K/K
“what-ever (two distinct syllables)” = moody teenager

Anybody else re-watching Madam Secretary and the Diplomat? Strong female civil servants that solve problems without having to bully anyone.

Positive psychology is not about always being positive. It recognizes that things will get better (optimism) or difficult times are just temporary (impermanence), while also acknowledging that something shitty can be happening right now. Ignoring difficult emotions = escaping from reality.

What the world needs right now is for us to heal our own traumas, face our own hard truths, and step up in being better humans. We have to come back home to ourselves first before we can belong to anyone and anything else. The world is waiting. ❤️

Our inability to process emotions in childhood can cause us to make inaccurate conclusions as adults. Unhealed traumas distort our view of the world, much like wearing the wrong prescription glasses.

Listen to how people talk. Their choice of words. What they’re saying to you. If you listen to people long enough, they will tell you what’s going on in their head without even realizing it

Too many people are unknowingly regressing to the age of their unhealed traumas. I feel like a school teacher telling adults to be kind, fact check their resources, stop spreading rumors, and get to the point in an argument.

Any significant level of fear throws rational thinking right out the window. The things we'll say and do when scared...will be things we look back on later and think, "What the f*ck was I thinking/doing?!?!"
Do everything possible to reduce your level of fear.

It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn.
Learning requires the humility to admit what you don't know today. Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday.
Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.

The single most important thing we can do right now is heal from our own traumas.
When we do, we provide permission for the people around us to heal. We show them that it’s possible, that it’s safe.
We become the shepherds for our family, friends, community, and country.

Toxic positivity is pressuring people to look on the bright side. They have to suppress anxiety, anger, sadness, and grief.
Healthy support is shielding people from the dark side. You invite them to express their pain, and show them they're not alone and won't feel it forever.

Half of American Christians are worshiping a false God and calling him daddy instead of loving God with all their heart and taking care of their neighbor.

You cannot take away the constricting emotions of shame, guilt, grief, and anger, without also taking away their equal but opposite counterparts of peace, love, joy, and gratitude.
We were meant to experience all of them. Like a good recipe, wisdom is knowing how and when to bend and balance.

As a teen, I read dystopian books to escape my reality. As an adult, I find myself reading reality books to escape from dystopia.

It is the Good Samaritan, not the Christian nationalist, that truly understands the teachings of Jesus.
You can be agnostic and take care of your neighbor.
You can be atheist and take care of your neighbor.
You can claim to be a Christian and cause great pain to your neighbor.

Just learned one of the soldiers I served with is no longer.
My method can/have helped people in non-ER crisis slay PTSD demons and reconcile heavy parts of the psyche, without having to relive the event.
In an emergency, 📞988 (US/CA). It’s the fastest path to a mental health professional.

How old are you when you are stressed or scared?
Or a different way to ask: which version of you takes over?
When people are presented with high stress or fear, often times they regress to a younger age - toddler, child, teen, etc. That version of the self has taken on the role of ‘protector’.

Part of this country’s problem is that we don’t have any nationally accepted sages or wise elders. Most of the people at the top are immature adults trying to dominate other immature adults. All that gets us is more immature adults.

Many people are experiencing deep grief because some people they love are no longer grounded in reality (facts don’t matter anymore).
It can feel like talking to someone that’s slipping away from dementia, except it’s not. They’re here but they’re not here. They’re gone but they’re not gone.

What happens when a person lives in denial their entire life?
They become more susceptible to dementia and dis-ease.
“that never happened”
When it did.
“it doesn’t bother me”
When it does.
The truth is uncomfortable.
It’s also the starting point for healing.

Consider how much of the world is constructed to make you feel like shit about yourself, whole social structures and entire economies dedicated to making you feel like shit about yourself.
Not letting things make you feel like shit about yourself automatically aligns you against all that stuff.
