I’ll be a “beta tester” but only if the business idea involves proving that tea is best made milk first.
(P.s. seriously though, hope it goes well.) 🥛🥇

I love the term “moral clarity” and recognition this is not a psychological issue (all too “easy” to imply decision makers have “lost their minds”) but instead a moral one, that needs societal messaging and clear red lines of what it is no longer prepared to tolerate. Like false ideas of supremacy.

Was having this conversation with my class just last week, after a professor explained how their students now prefer hand written essays, because they were sick of the junk generated by AI and wanted to see each other’s authentic writing. Similarly, younger people binning smart phones. Love it!

It’s not the same but reminds me of the woman I heard recently talking to her (I presume) teenage son in the shopping centre when she said VERY LOUDLY:
“What do you mean you don’t like George Michael?? EVERYBODY likes George Michael!”
“What do you mean you don’t like George Michael?? EVERYBODY likes George Michael!”

I have mine! If it’s like The Macho Paradox by Jackson then it will be an important and valuable read.

I had a list of phrases when raising awareness of period poverty, including “Aunt Flo has come to visit”, “Got the decorators in” and signing off an email with - my favourite - ovary and out.

It’s also a patriarchal problem of our day I think of how sexualised the term love has become.
The idea someone couldn’t care very deeply about someone’s wellbeing, without any other interest, feels sad. So maybe that’s why we call it unconditional positive regard instead. Love is a loaded word.

I hear you. I just have a memory of Rogers saying he “loved”/showed “love” to his clients and some therapists talk the same way about them (not to them). I didn’t see the Reddit post though so don’t know the context. Personally, I’ve never told a client I loved them because boundaries matter too!

It goes back to Carl Rogers, and a famous video of him and I think a woman called Gloria. (It’s stretching my memory as it was a long time back). He called it unconditional positive regard, more than empathy (which is a measure of relatedness and connection) but if I remember said it was like love.

In humanistic therapies/discussions, “love” might be used in the unconditional sense; Eg, they could “love” someone in the same way as we accept a person in their current “state” and meet the need in front of us, show them respect and regard without expectation. Not love as in romantically. I hope!

I’m so sorry this is so close to home for you, in all the ways. Thinking of you and all those affected.

I am so very sorry Tom. That’s such a lovely photo to honour your Dad’s memory. Thinking of you at this time, and all who loved him.
