Well, this is fucking sad — The other day the YouTube algorithm decided that I would be interested in footage from the trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. I suppose it was right because I did click on the video and watched until I began to feel sick to my stomach and had to turn…

DBT, CBT, IFS, EMDR…what do they mean? — I often think there is something strange about searching for a therapist. Website’s like Psychology Today list “types of therapy” under treatment approach as if we, the prospective clients, know what the heck they are talking about.
