„Did you forgive them yet?“ — I stood my ground and said NO. — I opened up about my abuse to a 'spiritual friend'. His first question was: „Have you managed to forgive them yet?“ I said NO. And it's NOT my duty to forgive. He said „But forgiveness causes healin…
Ingo Swann, did anyone experience something similar to what he did? — I want to be careful here because I’m not trying to promote pseudoscience. At the same time, I’ve had some dreams in my life that have turned into reality exactly as I saw in the dream, so I’m open-mi…

My Nmom claims her "therapist" told her to stop giving me love, since it was "enabling" me to "abuse" her. (I think her "therapist" is an AI.) — I haven't visited my mom in private in almost five years. I have seen her at a couple of necessary public outings. The reason being... she effectively held me captive for three years in my 20s. *That'…

More pseudoscience from you (the first being that gravity is attractive- gravity is a warp in the space time continuum as it responds to mass, and only appears to be attractive to the uneducated). No…
Gotta be honest lucid dreaming sounds like a pseudoscientific cult until you actually do it. Worked that way for me but I am still SUCH a noob.
Hm, no. Nice try. The NGCritics sub has dozens of archived stories of people who lost everything due to these teachings that would be otherwise censored and banned in the JM/NG subreddits. This subred…
99.9% of them sell not tips and secrets, but emotions and the opportunity to procastinate further. They exist because there is a great demand for such emotional pseudo-motivational content.
"aside from the lack of physical and emotional intimacy it was perfect" ... What kind of relationship was that? Some transactional, pseudo-rational agreement? A lavender marriage? Sounds very strange…
The same ‘fight’ keeps getting picked as I’m trying to educate the world about how psychiatry is questionable medicine at best. The problem here is the world believes that it is real medicine, thus …
EMDR helped me significantly, even with just a few months of sessions. it sounds like pseudo-science but I promise its real. it uses your brain's dream processing system to reprocess traumatizing mem…
I’m a FA leaning secure (previously leaning anxious) after leaving a long marriage and experiencing my first DA discard. I have been using casual sex as a way to explore sexually in my 40s. I lived a …
Im sure you know but this post is intelligent, well written and *not* filled with pseudo-intellectual, vague jargon or repetitive points, and therefore doesn’t sound like AI.
Attraction to someone changing when you learn more about them is not a feature of sapiosexuality (which I find to be pseudo intellectual gibberish), it’s normal. You sound like you have something else…
Would be interesting to know how common avoidant attachment is among lesbians. I knew a lesbian who was extremely avoidant after escaping a physically and mentally abusive relationship (with a man) wh…

You're simply a person living in the world just like everyone else. :) There is no look criteria for being out there! You know, the philosopher Karl Popper was interested in differentiating between s…
It's a skill. Try looking up HealthyGamerGG on YouTube. A guy named Dr. K used to do pseudo-therapy interviews that you can learn a lot from how he responds to people when they share intimate info lik…
The spirit of it all is good. Choosing the highest vibration to me sounds like pseudoscience. I'm not saying the idea is bad, but the language is making me cringe. Overall the idea of a cheat code i…
This sounds like a group I've encountered that I refer to as pseudo-mantids. [I talk about my experiences with them in this comment, as well as my observations on and thoughts/opinions about them.](ht…
It seems to be remiss if someone didn't point out that lie detectors, although available, are not scientifically reliable. One of the reasons that they aren't allowed in court. It is really more pseud…
I'm doing the same thing; I'm 29(f) and I'm the dumper, broke up with my ex because he checked out of the relationship and was already over me and pseudo dating his asexual roommate (who I later found…
I was in Dr Laberge's forum way back. The group was small, the field not well known, so there were no kids. (BTW, kids are welcome here. A small group tends to stand out, but most are completely cool…
My friend, the term “pseudoscience” has been applied to the greatest scientific discoveries of all time. The scientific establishment has continuously sabotaged the careers of those who follow the ev…
K Phrost That is my pseudonym
Yeah its definitely not on her really at all as she had no idea anything was even up. Her husband spiraled off a random thought he had and was pseudo-confirming his own fears....but not in a really a…
There are two principles that guide moderation here, which are both balancing acts: no psuedo-science and light-handed moderation that relies on upvotes and reports (with an imperfect, but effective a…
I've done decades of therapy. I did get some good advice I've time when I was a teenager. He told me to play a sport, which ended up satisfying many genetic level drives. Like how eating and drinking …
I'm happy you've found some measure of peace and health, especially if you're a contact experiencer, which is often inherently stressful. But I'm not here to just say niceties, I'm on a mission. The m…
I have free will. You go right ahead! The creators knew they were making an occult topic/ ‘pseudoscience’ science website. That if you know how to use it, can be very valuable bc the original ppl who …
It really could have been hormones more than anything. Try salt in all four corners, you can use salt lamps too. They are pretty and not expensive. Hang an iron horseshoe over the doorway if you can d…
I've done this yes for quite a long time. I've concluded though that ketamine's depth is largely a cognitive hallucination, ie, an illusion. I can quite easily accept that very, very rarely, like once…
Sorry I can’t offer any helpful advice. I’m a dismissive avoidant and when this sort of thing has happened in the past most times I (wrongly btw this is a very bad thing that I’m not proud of) initiat…
I go out whenever I want, make friendly conversation with people; nobody gets jealous or has a meltdown. My nex used pseudo-psychological jargon against me a lot, so I cant stand hearing "heal", "do t…
I have a friend in exactly the same situation. Exactly the same. And his wife uses the same arguments, too. All I can say is that I just love modern (pseudo)feminist order of things. Full on, trendy…
I think this is overly harsh….. and overly reductive. He is making leaps that make no sense. Just bc someone is overly empathetic does not mean they don’t have a developed pre-frontal cortex. He’s mak…
Don’t listen to this post. Your prefrontal cortex may or may not be underdeveloped but can’t be inferred by your empathy levels or lack there of. He is posting pseudo science for clicks and to make pe…
He isn't pro-science if his belief system is pseudoscience.
My husband has multiple female friends that I trust him alone with, and that he’s had for decades. Your boyfriend views you as lesser and hides it behind shitty pseudoscience.
Well, she didn’t ask him to take her. She just asked what the trip was like. So he kinda jumped the gun there. But she also said clearly that she was fine with him wanting it to be just him and the…
No, she understands biology, and you and the boyfriend here don’t understand biology beyond how to twist it into pseudoscientific nonsense to justify a self-serving misogynistic world view! Biology r…
Do you seriously think men are less emotional and that there is any real scientific evidence to support this? There isn’t. Men are conditioned by societal expectations into not showing emotion in ce…
You already articulated it. He has made it clear he won’t listen. You can’t force him to make female friends, it’s true. But you also really really can’t force him to listen to you or give your per…
He stated that because he wants to shit her down and keep himself deeply entrenched in his nice self-serving narrative in all its total bs pseudoscience! He is getting emotional because he did y want…
What most people are knowledgeable of is pop or mainstream astrology that makes your sun sign the most important and the only thing that matters. That IS NOT REAL ASTROLOGY. You have to read the WHOLE…
Maybe it's not the person you meet, not the statistics of their sex life? Also my point with the article was to let you know that these articles are specifically geared towards making men angry and to…
Been seeing this guy for a year, due to his unstable circumstances we ended up moving very fast despite him saying his life was too complicated for a relationship right now. We essentially ended up li…
My mom doesn’t even exercise and spends most of her time in bed. She dismisses my concerns for her health (she’s extremely weak and thin) as pseudoscience and doesn’t believe in the benefits of moveme…
It sounds very likely that you have a preoccupied (aka anxious) attachment. You can certainly take an online quiz, read "Attached" and maybe even watch some Youtube videos, or even take an online…
It’s certainly something complex I would like to understand more. Those two areas you mentioned are major themes of my life that have come with a slew of challenges and odd pseudo advantages. I am cur…
