[NHS, Therapy, - + !?]
Holy hell
I'm trying, really, really hard to read up on the local NHS's uh, favourite therapy, without immediately slipping into snark mode, as I tend to quite easily.
Around here this brand is a super common recommendation from NHS psychs. It's got some serious funding pull (local bloke, so no mystery).
But.. Outside of the immediate region, I just get blank looks from people when I ask about it. So. Why not see for myself?
I was a fool. I have regrets.
There's only so much snark one bat can contain, we're in full-on "Pepsi Gravitational Field" country.
And if you think that's hyperbole then buckle the heck in, friendo, cuz it's 8:30am and I got nothing better to do

Page 2 lands us in Pooptoot Plaza, buuuut..
I keep my cool! Some people are bad at Powerpoint. Like. Really, really bad. Maybe it's just tha-
..Oh. Evopsych. ..That always bodes well.
And we plunge headlong down the rabbit-hole at about this point.

So, Evolutionary Psychology: Still about as firmly grounded in actual science as you'd expect.

I suppose when you get this far into in "Hideo Kojima Boss Monologue" territory, the only way out is through, huh..?
I'm done. I'm gonna go.. Eat, then try to chase up the NHS on (happily, unrelated) things.

@pastelbat oh god. Is it the bloody ‘cave man brain’ thing. Again. But more long winded with horrible graphic design choices?
re: [NHS, Therapy, - + !?]
@pastelbat for context each time I mention I have anxiety ppl have been determined to tell me abt how ‘cavemen’* reacted to stressful situations. And how it’s unsuitable for modern life.
As if I don’t know how anxiety works already.
*dont like that term anyway bc inaccurate

@Doggo Well I mean
If we're taking this bizarre-ass take on evolution where Humankind Is The Ultimate Achievement of mating season at the local zoo
Then.. Heck, why not throw in Neanderthals? XD
I'm just disappointed Grandma Mosasaur didn't make an appearance tbh
re: [NHS, Therapy, - + !?]
@pastelbat tbh?? It’s like. Humans as the ultimate life form I find saft anyway but the other stuff.
Like. Someone wrote this and made those graphic design choices.
It’s...like. Weird flat earther language and stuff is the nearest comparason for tone I’ve got.
Like someone’s weird pet belief project. Which from what you said it might be.
re: [NHS, Therapy, - + !?]
@Doggo I wish it was
but he has his own teaching corp for this stuff
And, (apparently?) quite significant influence in the local NHS.
._.
re: [NHS, Therapy, - + !?]
@pastelbat ah yeah XP
re: [NHS, Therapy, - + !?]
@pastelbat ...okay it might not be the thing I thought.
Uh.
Wow. That’s more ???? Then anything O_o
re: [NHS, Therapy, - + !?]
I.. Words have failed me by this point
(To be fair, no one even told me "Go be a zebra" was an option, so I'm still reeling from losing out)
As always, Talking Heads have my back on this one.
