It's funny your term "vortexing" has an actual name in the world of psychology, it's called dissociation. Anyway well done for realizing these things, it's taken me years of continued therapy to keep making progress on…
The "Chemical Imbalance" hypothesis is extremely simplistic and seems very appealing to believe amongst the HN crowd. Unfortunately the evidence for it has been sorely lacking and within the past couple of decades more…
Try psychodynamic therapy, it works to treat the root causes of depression, not offerring a magic chemical imbalance pill that makes you dissassociate from the root causes of sufferring.
The golden standard of depression treatment is long term talk therapy to actually work with the qualitative nature of ones depressive thoughts and sufferring and resolve those feelings, not magic chemical imbalance…
Your appeal to reductio ad absurdum here fails because it's not established that SSRIs work by restoring an imbalance. SSRIs are only little more effective than a placebo, suggesting there's something deeper at play…
With all the common sense replies explaining why, I guess this was not the real question at all.
I'm not saying porn should be banned, I'm just think people are misinformed that there are no consequences to it, or that it's harmless. Just like the solution to drug addiction isn't making drug usage illegal, neither…
> Stats are showing that women are consuming lots of porn now too. And that somehow makes porn nice and healthy does it? > Personally I'd do away with 'mainstream' porn, my inner voyeur likes the homemade stuff too…
> A lot of people don't (and in my opinion, shouldn't) conflate such a primal activity as "sacred". Is it really a good idea to put sex up on a pedestal? I think people should have a realistic view of what sex is. It…

Similarly, a brick has the ability to deep sea dive!
Not to mention the fact that neither comment says which country or region they're based in. I suspect these things can vary a lot by geography, yet both are making very generalized statements.
Also amusing that the HN title omitted the word "rare" from the title of the original article (and is the only change). Can't help but feel there was a specific intent behind that decision.
An obvious example of this is pop music. Often following the verse chorus form and also different genres having different constraints in terms of instruments used.
I only skim read the article, but I think it's missing a key section which is "strong relationships". Having the right people around you and having a sense of connection with those people can have a dramatically…
I think it is a remarkable achievement regardless of young or old. I think it would be difficult for both adult and children, but achievable by both, just very tedious.
Thank you for going to the effort of letting me know that. I will be checking out the book. Knowledge can definitely be power when healing.
Fair enough, I did probably knee jerk or interpret things in the wrong way. Will give it a go perhaps. I'm currently using the headspace app which I suspect is a similar approach.
Perhaps whiteness is irrelevant, perhaps not. Socioeconomic background was controlled for the fact that the participants were from the middle class. Whether that's inherent to the US population due to the fact that it's…

Wondering what the disclaimer would be? And why wouldn't it apply to a talk therapist?
Sounds like a depressing fantasy painted as brutal reality. Maybe an enticing belief for those of us here who are also depressed, but just a fantasy nonetheless.
This is absolutely true in my experience. Going to my therapist I realized that I spent all my time focusing on negative outcomes for a given life problem of mine. So much so that the failure to imagine a more…
I've been in (psychodynamic) therapy for around 9 months because I was addicted to porn before my relationship with my current gf. After around 1 year of honeymoon period bliss (and lots of passionate sex) the habit and…
