A thread of a collection of therapist directories that have niches & specialties
as alternatives to the larger, problematic ones

(In no particular order-feel free to add to this if you know of one I've missed!)

Making fun of ANYONE’S mental health; giving them diagnoses when they’re not your client and/or you’re not a mental health professional; and all other related things:

Dissent is patriotic.

We have a right to disagree and dissent with those in power and demand a better world.

Therapist listserv has a person advertising, “Master IFS in one day” and no, this is not a thing. NO

I really wish bad nurses and doctors didn't tarnish the healthcare profession when there are so many good providers out there who actually want to help. It sucks and we have to call out the bullshit when we see it or it will never change.

CHOOSING TO:

• Radically love your body

• Fight fatphobia (a product of white supremacy)

• Understand Health at Every Size

• Avoid diets/diet culture

• Refrain from commenting on others’ appearance/weight

💥 ARE ACTS OF RESISTANCE AGAINST FASCISM💥

Timely article about how the brief mainstream moment for body positivity is being crushed by the rise - once again - of aspirational thinness, and the link between promoting feminine skinniness and right wing conservative values and movements. Never ends.
www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
The Body-Positivity Movement Is Over Liv Schmidt and the rise of SkinnyTok By Annie Joy Williams Schmidt is the queen of SkinnyTok—a corner of the internet where thin, mostly white women try to make America skinny again. Her “what I eat in a day to stay skinny” videos thrust her into virality about a year ago. There she is with her mint tea—which she always drinks before eating anything, to check if she’s really hungry or just bored—or a mile-high ice-cream sundae that she’ll take three bites of before tossing. She’s very clear: She stays skinny by not eating much. Many find this refreshingly honest. Others think she’s promoting eating disorders. Ozempic has accelerated that backlash against body positivity. Many of the plus-size leaders of the body-positivity movement shut up and shrunk down. Their followers noticed that they were using a weight-loss drug. Apparently you didn’t have to love yourself as you were—and you didn’t have to suffer to change, either. You just had to have a prescription and enough money to pay for it. I started listening more closely to the SkinnyTok videos. They weren’t just about self-deprivation. They were about being classy. They were about being a lady—the right kind of woman, one that men drool over. They were, most importantly, about being small.

As an Iranian American, it feels like I need to help explain something:

A friend recently expressed confusion as to why those in the Iranian diaspora (liked myself), who hate the regime, would be opposed to the attacks on Iran.

I’ll try to explain my thoughts/feelings.

The horrors persist …

Take a break and look at James holding his tail
