He was a good egg.

Under Pressure. Both parts. Yeah.

I was thinking more along the lines of this. You know, if you happen to have the patience for the Dead.

Bloggers. They’re just like us!

I’m liking the podcast. Out of curiosity, why do the posts here on DS happen several days after the podcast can be downloaded? I guess the podcasts are not reactionary to the day’s news so they don’t go out of style, but I’m just curious.

So I’m the letter writer guilty of the “chai tea” wording. My screw up got my letter into Jolie’s column, so I guess ignorance IS bliss?

I mean, it’s pure bullshit, but the NCAA has a history of investigating past incidents and invalidating wins/championships for impermissible benefits. If this is taken at face value, which it shouldn’t, then could this not invalidate his career based on receiving an impermissible benefit thus making him retroactively…

And a broken leg is totally an appropriate and proportional punishment for that horrible transgression.

Don't do it! Your ears will expel the wax on their own, and you kinda need the wax in there to fend off bacteria. Despite what they look like after being in your ear, q-tips just pack the earwax down and it becomes unmanageable, potentially leading to some hearing problems until you or a medical professional remove…

Dr. David sounds like an dick. What kind of therapists manipulates their clients with shame when they're feeling vulnerable? An asshole kind of therapist.

Next up, Roger Goodell meets with Randall Stevens to discuss prison reform.

And it's helping to elevate domestic violence and sexual assault in a new way.

100% agree

Perhaps I'm lumping all of the hoarding shows together because my stomach couldn't get past the few episodes that I was able to watch, because it's hard to keep them all straight. I just know some folks that were on pace to do the shows until the producers told them what they could and could not do with the client…

That's not what I've heard from fellow colleagues who treat hoarding and have done the shows. I do treat hoarding and I'm not a big deal in that world so I've never been asked to do those shows, but I know many psychologists who have and have regretted their decisions to be a part of it. It's entertainment first, and…

The hoarding shows provide paltry funds for follow up psychological care. It amounts to maybe 3 sessions, which is woefully inadequate to treat this particular affliction. Hoarding treatment is a long long process that moves at the pace of molasses, thus it would require funds far beyond what the shows would actually…

Loved ones and friends—sometimes even therapists—who urge reconnecting with a parent often speak as if forgiveness will be a psychic aloe vera, a balm that will heal the wounds of the past.
