I want to make counselors aware of a resource for survivors of many types -- mental health, trauma, and more.

LIVE, Dammit (Previously Survivors' Haven): livedammit.com/

"A mental health support site with stories, tools, a free e-course, bookstore & inspiring wearables—for stubborn souls doing the work to stay here, stay human, & stay strong."

The website allows survivors to share stories of struggle and endurance, features in-depth articles and interviews, uplifting quotes, links to outside resources, and more.

They are also on Bluesky at:
bsky.app/profile/livedammit.bs

I have added them to my Mastodon Psych Bot news feed at:
mastodon.clinicians-exchange.o

Thanks,
Michael

You should respect someone's #boundaries even if you think you're being nice.

Gifts make me anxious and panicky at first, as growing up they were used to manipulate me.

I have been seeing someone and she has been paying for dates as I'm broke.

She noticed my screen was cracked, and got me a phone, which I turned down, and she kept insisting I take it until I panicked and had to leave.

She's been texting me apologizing, and I don't know what to say as I'm embarrassed.

I've been doing more healing work to recover from being abusively #blindsided by a jealous woman who I have never even met but had attempted to psychologically #blackmail my companion, after faking being nice to me. I never expected to be #suckerpunched by a woman I've never even met in person. It shook me. It traumatized me. It was NOT OK.

Never ever defend #abusive people who have violated #boundaries multiple times & harmed multiple people, intentionally.

A quote on a gray background that reads, "When it comes to abusive behavior, if they know to hide it, they know it's wrong. If they don't do it in front of other people, they know how to control it." The quote is attributed to graceisunderfire and @the_traumacoach ~ Melissa Lloyd.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Categorizing is necessary for humans, but it becomes pathological when the category is seen as definitive, preventing people from considering the fuzziness of boundaries, let alone revising their categories.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
The Black Swan, Part 1, ch. 1 “The Apprenticeship of an Empirical Skeptic” (2007)

I had to cut off an acquaintance this morning. He kept asking me for money. I gave him $200 over the last two years. I asked him politely to stop, but money was literally the ONLY time he'd text me. And what did he do this morning? He asked me for money again, taking advantage of my generosity.

I feel like utter shit. But this was necessary. I am trying to learn to stick up for my boundaries. This is a 180 from my usual tactics. All this is new and scary. But I'm doing it.

How to make friends with ponies in 3 easy steps:

  1. Put out the hay in multiple piles so the ponies have choices.

  2. Sit next to a hay pile like you’re having a picnic.

  3. When the ponies come up to share your picnic spot, resist the monkey-instinct to pat them. Sharing a hay pile may not seem like you’re doing much, but you came here for 3 easy steps, didn’t you?

Actually, the ponies find it pretty meaningful to peacefully share a good snack spot. That doesn’t stop Abner from rudely sticking his face in Abigail’s face just to see if she still likes him enough to tolerate his more annoying behaviors sometimes. Just like sometimes, I don’t manage to resist the urge to pat. And I see in their expressions that they would often prefer if I sat there quietly and kept my hands to myself.

A big black horse (Abigail, left) and a small flaxen chestnut horse (Abner, right) nibble hay off the ground only a few feet away from the camera. The field they're standing in is sloped downward slightly from left to right, and bordered by grey/brown trees in the background. The sky above is clear and blue.
The same view as before, except that Abner has stopped eating to stick his nose in Abigail's face. Abigail's ears are swiveled back a fraction to let him know that she is not thrilled about this development, but she's not bothered enough by it to stop eating.

Dealing with a #Condescending boss? So did I. Unfortunately, this can happen in some #Workplaces, where the power dynamic feels one-sided, and you're expected to follow the tune that #PaysTheBills. However, not all workplaces or #Cultures operate this way. You have the #Power to set #Boundaries, communicate #Effectively, and #Advocate for yourself. Take steps to reclaim your confidence and create a healthier professional space for yourself.

These might look #lazy, but are actually reasonable strategies:

- resist pointless #tasks to create time for deep thinking,
- set #boundaries at work to avoid #burnout,
- say “no” to tasks, resisting that we should always strive to #produce more,
- automate #repetitive tasks to free up time for #creative tasks.

@wcooperbooks My #Armchair #diagnosis is that he is a #ShortDarkTriad or #ShortDarkQuad #Narcissist. It is more common to find them in the #CSuite set. Moreover, because he is wealthy, he has never experienced #Boundaries and #Limitations and if he did, the culture he is from taught him to ignore boundaries #ThinkOutOfTheBox #BreakDownBarriers #WINTHEGAME and drink the blood of his enemy's children out of their skulls while he rapes their wives.

What to do if bullying? Try consistent boundaries

1. do not writhe or waver. (Movement attracts the bully)
2. do not attempt to appease. (Any offer is interpreted as weakness and obtains thrust)
3. flee to a safe position that you could hold with support
4. then stand still. Set limits on how others treat you. Affirm boundaries (The bully will redirect attacks eventually)
5. connect: turn to a trusted person, reach out only to someone you feel well about
6. offer backing, foster, become accomplice, enjoy
