While with some new heterodox friends, I was describing my area of research and interest, I framed a number of my interests as being social contagions and harms in the world of therapy.
Fascinating article, thanks. I would love to see more people dip their toes in the water. Great point about retirement and the call for more people to stand up. I feel like older people in academia have been caught in a novelty bias assumption about new ideas and abdicated their development role in providing grounding and wisdom.
Thanks Heterodork. Yes, I recall from developmental psychology that often retired people do better psychologically if they are proud of what they did in their lives. It is not all about money, and most of the conforming academics will be very much okay for money in retirement. They should think about being proud in retrospect as well.
Great post! I wrote a short essay on iatrogenic harm arising from therapy culture, using phenomena from cognitive psych such as semantic satiation, paradoxical uncertainty, and mirror gazing as jumping off points. Would be cool the hear what you think! https://backcountrypsych.substack.com/p/identity-satiation

I can't argue the analysis here.
Nice, I am glad I mentioned the Satanic panic now!

Interesting, thanks Brandon.
