The Stanford "prohibited word" list is a good example of the misunderstanding that avoidance of discomfort is the best path to happiness. Every (good) behavior therapist knows that the opposite is true. We need lots of practice with discomfort to get good at dealing with it.

@eckels_sam Changing one's thinking rarely leads to immediate behavior change, for lots of reasons. If the former is punished, the latter will certainly not happen.

If you have an anxious child, consider that you may be working too hard as a parent, and doing less may actually be helpful to them. There are lots of ways to do less that may benefit your child (in addition to benefiting you!). 🧡

When a college asks me for money, I reply with @TheFIREorg 's college free speech rankings and let them know what the money will flow when the free speech returns. If enough people do this, change will come.

Why is the number of men in clinical psychology doctoral programs plummeting? It is an outstanding career. Why isn't it clicking for men? Thoughts?

Was excitedly approached by a major academic book publisher to write a parenting book. After telling me that their core value is β€œfree speech” they suddenly wrote to tell me that because of my Twitter posts, they would not partner. Would not tell me what opinion I hold that makes

New Year resolution: Commit more "microaggressions". Since almost all microaggressions are actually well-meaning statements of curiosity.

If you are an academic journal article author and you insist on using a term (Latinx) that roughly 4% of Latinos prefer, how do you reconcile that with the principle of respecting your research participants? Serious question. @xavierbonilla87 @StrangelEdweird @EvelynBehar

This is so embarrassing. These two literally are incapable of having a conversation with personal attacks and condescension. @coldxman 's calm and respectful approach only made that more clear.

I just replied to a text from a potential client and my message autocorrected to asking if they wanted to have a sleepover with me. How’s your day going? 😳

Psychology academics seem to think that if you make something into an acronym, that makes it real. I just saw "experts by experience” (EBEs), which is just another way of saying anecdotal evidence.

Someone explain to me how higher ed is not deeply broken. So few of my colleagues seem to care that this buffoonery happens because the clowns are on the β€œright” side. Very sad.

If you are a psychologist and tired of waiting around for professional societies like @APA and @ABCTNOW to regain their sanity and return to being a place that seeks to understand the truth instead of pushing the fashionable beliefs of the day, I highly recommend you join The

Clinical psychology, which literally popularized the idea that repeatedly facing what you fear makes you stronger (exposure therapy) has somehow become the biggest proponent of β€œprotecting” people from any and all discomfort A complete abdication of professional responsibility
