How Old? (LH44) [Blind Items AU]

(Part 7 in the Blind Items AU [can be read separately]) Summary: A driver, unknown to the public, seems to have found himself a younger girlfriend. There isn't anything morally (nor legally) wrong with the relationship, and the pair are doing quite well in their private bliss, but the internet likes to insert itself in other's business. Luckily, Lewis is doing too good to care about what the internet has to say.

‘Young, dumb, impressionable girls who don’t know any better’. Lewis laughed at the thought. 

He had met his girlfriend 3 years ago when she was 24, because no, she wasn’t 25. They had immediately clicked, being introduced by a mutual friend. His girl had just finished getting her PhD in child psychology, because she was far from a ‘dumb girl’. She had accelerated in her schooling from the time she started school. She worked with special programs to continuously learn at her level, not her age level. The party they met at was her graduation party that Lewis’ friend had invited him to, thinking the two would go well together.

Lewis would be lying if he said her age wasn’t something he considered when they both began to like each other. But it was more so that they were in very different stages career-wise. She was in a transitional period from school to practicing, and with the upcoming move to Ferrari, Lewis didn't know what his future looked like. How could they make a relationship work when their careers were their highest priority?

So they didn’t date, remaining ‘friends’ and seeing each other whenever possible. 

That was until around a year after they met.

One night, after Lewis had been having one of the best racing seasons in a while, and after she had been succeeding in her clinical trials, proving just how much this was the perfect path for her, Lewis came over to celebrate. 

Tensions had been building up since they had agreed to keep it friendly because they simply couldn’t commit to a relationship right now. That night though, it reached its peak.

Neither had been drinking, drunk purely on lust. After two hours of dinner and good conversation, one experimental kiss led to another, which led to a longer kiss, then full on making out, until the two were in a frenzy of trying to take the others’ clothes off as fast as humanly possible. 

That night then led to a weird period for the two. They cared for each other deeply, talked like a couple, acted like a couple, but when asked by friends on the status of their relationship, it was simply a friendship with ‘hot and passionate’ sex on the side. 

Nothing more, even though they both wanted so much more. But they refused to talk about committing again. 

That was till she found out she was pregnant. 

They had been careful, condoms and birth control, but it was just some freak accident, or a blessing.

She couldn’t tell Lewis for about a month, as he was on a triple header in F1 which thankfully ended in summer break. 

By then, she had enough time to sit and think about what she wanted. It wouldn’t be easy, both their careers are demanding. If it was anyone but him, she would have had way more doubt in her partner’s ability to balance both, but she had no doubt Lewis would be anything but an amazing father. 

She was about 9 weeks when she saw him again. They had made plans to go on vacation for a week during the break (supposedly as friends, even though Lewis had booked them a honeymoon suite), so she knew she had to ask right away, before they went on vacation. The last thing she needed was things going wrong and being stuck in the South of France, pregnant, with a man who didn’t want to be a father.

“I’m pregnant.” She blurted out the moment she opened the door. 

They both stared at each other wide eyed. She hadn’t meant to say it straight away. 

Instead of clarifying, she immediately turned around and went to the kitchen. Lewis reluctantly followed, confused as to if she wanted to talk to him at the moment. 

She refused to look at him, busying herself with getting plates and utensils for the takeout Lewis had picked up.

“Are we- are we going to talk about it?” He asked. She turned around to finally look at him, seeing as he slowly walked towards her with his hands in the air.

“God, Lewis, I am pregnant, not a kicked puppy, I'm not going to bite if you come near me.” He quickly put his hands down. 

Silence fell as they both looked at each other, wishing the other one would talk first. When that didn’t happen, they both gave in, speaking over each other. “No- sorry you first.” He said.

“No, no its okay you can go.”

Once again they were both silent, til they both chose the exact same time to speak. It was thankfully what the situation needed. They laughed, immediately severing the tension and awkwardness in the room. 

As they finally calmed down, Lewis said, “So… what are we going to do?”

No ‘what are you going to do’, no immediate shut down. She was once again grateful that out of all people in the world, it was Lewis who was by her side.

“Its… hard and most would say it is not the right time for either of us. But I want to be a mother, and I want to do so now.” 

“Okay, do you still need time to think or-”

“No, no- I have had a month to think and my decision hasn’t changed since the moment I found out.” 

Now was the most stressful part, waiting for what he would say, how he would react.

“Then we can make this work, we can find a way around any complications. There is no one I’d rather do this with, honey.” 

The two of them sat in silence, but it was a comfortable silence, both envisioning the future they were going to work for, a future they were going to achieve no matter what. 

That had been almost two years ago, and they had been happy and in love ever since. Even more so when their healthy baby girl was born. 

A content smile covered Lewis’ face as his girlfriend walked in, holding their daughter. 

“What’s got you so happy?” 

“Just my two wonderful girls.” He responded.

She rolled her eyes, “Such a sap you old man. Will you please come help me build the chair for the baby’s room now?”

Happy to oblige, Lewis shut his phone and got up to help his girlfriend, completely forgetting about what the internet had to say about his private life.

Fail Better Premium: David's Thoughts (Part XIV)

Creating a breadcrumb trail with David Duchovny's personal growth.

"Alright, so. I'm back from England where I was playing the Latitude Festival. Chorus was transcrimed..." [laughs] "'transcrimed'-- transcribed by the A.I. function in a voice memo that I tried to do this morning as 'the Morality Festival'. No, it was the Latitude Festival. Anyway, we had great fun there.

"But, uh, what I wanted to try to get down on paper-- or on the airwaves-- was, uh, my thoughts about the Mary Trump discussion. Which I very much enjoyed; very very much liked meeting Mary and talking to her, having watched her, y'know, on my television for a long time. Um. But what was really cool was to go over the old graduate school memories, y'know. Uh, or, or-- we're both failed graduate students, right? I dropped out from a PhD program; she dropped out of an M.A. program and switched over to clinical psychology. But we both started there; and... y'know, it just reminded me of those, those years. Uh, which, y'know, was twenty... twenty-three? To twenty-six? Or twenty.... I mean, those really important years, formative years; and the kind of.... You know, we talk a lot on this podcast about authenticity. And as much as I did love reading, as much as I did love literature, there was something inauthentic about my stay in graduate school. I wasn't committed enough to the profession, which is the teaching profession. Um. It wasn't that I wasn't uncommitted to the teaching profession, uh.... It's just my soul was elsewhere. I don't know how else to put it-- I'm not saying 'better' or 'worse.' I'm just saying," [sighs] "y'know, at that age, if you're given the, the choice-- if you're lucky enough to have the choice to be able to choose a profession-- um. And to not-- y'know, for me it was safety: it was a safe life; and then I would be able to..." [sighs] "write my books or whatever. And that was going to be the dangerous part.

"And I, I don't ever want this discussion, when I talk about these things, to be about, 'Oh, I don't believe in the pedagogy, or I don't believe in academia.' I do. It was just... where I was going to be most fulfilled. And that sounds... selfish; and maybe it is. But I had to be elsewhere.

"Anyway: it reminded me, um-- y'know, we were, we were la--, Mary and I were laughing about being dropouts; being failures, graduate school failures. And it reminded me of my mom: her entire life," [sighs] "until she died-- and she had dementia for probably eight years before she died, mercifully-- um, would ask me, 'Are you ever going to finish your dissertation?' No, not, 'Are you ever'; she would ask me 'When are you going to finish your dissertation?' And, this is-- y'know, I dropped out of graduate school when I was... twenty-six, twenty-seven; so this is... y'know, thirty-five years" [laughs] "of this question." [Continues laughing.] "And, uh, y'know. I, I, I would try to be rational with her-- especially back in the days when she could be rational-- and just say, 'Hey, I was, uh, I'm doing other things....' It's a big undertaking to say, 'Okay, you're going to write that dissertation.' it's like writing a book but it's like writing a technical manual; it's like writing-- you can't just jump in, it's not like fiction, you can't just make it up. Y'know, you have to research, you have to, y'know, be aware of all the other writings on what you're writing about. I was going to be writing about Magic and Technology in Contemporary American Fiction and Prose, and I would have to know... all the current writings on Ishmael Reed, James Merrill, Norman Mailer-- who's coming under reassessment right now, I was just reading something about him the other day. Ummmm, who else? I can't even-- Robertson Davies, a Canadian author. Uh, and Thomas Pynchon. I'd have to be up-to-date on that-- I mean, it would take me a year just to be up-to-date on, on, on those authors; and then to reread the books-- you're getting the idea, it's a big, it's a big undertaking; and I....

"I guess there was always a part of me when she would ask me that, was like, 'Why, why aren't you just accepting who I am?' You know, I was--" [stumbles] "--for a good part of these interrogations, I was a very successful, I'd become a very successful person. A very successful actor; and then I was writing books, and then I was... y'know, making music or whatever. But, y'know--." [Trails off with a noise.] "She, uh... it was like, from your mom when she says-- to me, 'When are you gonna finish your dissertation?'-- it was like, 'I don't believe in the other stuff you're doing.' Y'know. 'I believe in that.' And there was something in me that would... push back-- and then one of the last times I saw her with my kids, she was at a place in Jersey; and she was, y'know, full-on into..." [sighs] "...the last bit of dementia. And, um. I don't know...." [Voice cracks, drops.] "We were-- it was a Sunday; and, and she... we were sitting somewhere, listening to music where she was living. And she asked me again, 'When are you going to finish your dissertation?' And... it was in front of the kids; and, um.... I said, 'Y'know, Mom, I, I don't think I will. It's just, I'm not... it's not something I can just do, I'm doing other things--' and she looked horrified; and fell asleep, immediately." [Chuckles.] "And on the way home, my kids were like, 'Why don't you just lie to her? Why don't you just tell her y-you did it, you finished your dissertation?' And, and I was like, um... y'know, it seemed very rational-- 'I really should.' And I never really did get the chance-- she maybe, maybe died a couple months later; but we never, we never, it never came up again. And I never did make that beautiful lie to her. Or, or would it be? And, again, it was just-- me being 'the son', almost a little boy, y'know," [voice drops, cracks] "and my mom checking in on my homework-- y'know, 'Have you finished your homework? Have you finished your dissertation?' And me pushing back and saying, 'Not important to me-- I don't care-- I'm never going to use that.' Y'know, 'That's not important in my life. Look at me. Look at who I am-- see me. See me.' It's a very complicated kind of a thing.

"So, talking to Mary about graduate school kind of had me thinking about that, y'know? And... while I think about my mom, y'know, I think about pedagogy; and I think about the family. All these things Mary and I talk about. And... my mom was a great teacher; and a champion of the kids who had trouble, a champion of the kids who didn't fit right away. Bless her, y'know. And I think, as I've said, I walk around the village now and people come up to me and they say, 'Hey, your mom taught me; hey, your mom taught my mother; hey, your mom taught my daughter, my son.' And it's very fulfilling to me. And my sister's also a wonderful teacher. And, um. Nothi-- yeah.

"We-we're talking about Mary." [Birds caw in the distance.] We're talking about the institutions of, of the world we come into. And we're talking about institutions too big to fail. And we're interrogating the family, too; because, if like Mary, you're born into a family that is somewhat broken-- and not broken in a way that is outrageous to the culture; broken in an exaggerated way to the culture-- but part of what, for better or for worse, we now call the 'toxic patriarchy' (and I don't really like the word 'toxic', I think it's overused; but, anyway, let's just use it as short-hand right now.) So, what happens when you're firmly ensconced in the, the 'toxic patriarchy' of a family? How do you get out? Y'know, and this goes for not just women, but for men, too. Obviously. And that's where you get the other cliche: it can take a village-- it can take a teacher, like my mom, like my sister-- it can take a mentor. As, as you see a kid looking out from 'the family' for help, for hope, for another way-- a kid looking to transform him or herself, as Mary did, through literature, through clinical psychology. Got herself out of this rut of a family, of an institution, of a way of thinking and raising kids that is from the last century-- and maybe from a couple, three centuries ago, when you really sit down and think about it. And I'm not laying it all at the feet of the patriarchy: y'know, 'cuz it takes men and women to make a patriarchy. I do believe that. Apologies; but, Trump was raised as much by his mother as his father. So. You have a child that senses they are different from the world in which they are born; and that world really is the 'family' when that child is young. And when they are looking about for other mentors, other role models, other ways of thinking, you'd better hope they find somebody good. That's just the way, isn't it? And that's the luck of it. If Mary Trump can find a teacher like my mother, or like my sister. But I'm afraid it doesn't happen that often; or I'm afraid it doesn't happen often enough. I'm afraid it doesn't happen often enough." [Exhales.] "And I think it's a combination of what we teach and also the way we treat teachers, which is not good enough.

"Um. So. Those are my thoughts on the Mary Trump stuff-- she also mentioned, she mentioned in one of her books a poem Andre... Andrea Sarto by Robert Browning. It's a beautiful poem; and I wanted to, I wanted to ask her what it meant to her. Um, I suggest anybody read it. Uh, it's kinda about a failed artist; and that's what I, I wish I could have asked Mary about that. Because to quote that poem is really to... make a feint towards, 'I'm a failed artist.' And in a ways, it must feel that way for Mary-- at this point, y'know. I think she's going to get beyond it. But she's, she's writing her family at this point; and whether or not that satisfies her urge to enter the artistic competition she wanted to enter into as a kid, when she was inspired by literature, one feels that she wants to write literature. And one-- this guy-- hopes that she does; and I hope that she's released from the prison of having to write about her uncle. Very soon. Like, in the next few months. I hope for her release from that; and I hope that that will release her into her literary career, or her screenwriting career. Her creative writing career. I sure hope so.

"And another thing I wanted to ask her was about her brother's book. So, it's two siblings who are both publishing books about their uncle. What a family, huh? What an interesting phenomenon to happen. And I wonder what she thinks about her brother's point of view-- because Mary obviously has a, y'know, clinically-inflected vocabulary. I don't know anything about her brother but I don't think he's a psychologist; so, he's going to be coming at it with a different vocabulary. And I wonder what Mary thinks of that; and I wonder what it feels like to have a brother writing about your subject." [Couple seconds of silence.] "Maybe we, maybe we should do a follow-up. Uh, maybe we should talk to Fred-- I don't know. But, uh.

"And that's where we're at, today. After the Morality-- I mean, the Latitude Festival."

[transmutationisms]

never really gave much thought to it until now but it is so weird to experience disordered eating tendencies solely cause of food insecurity but all i ever really heard about it was how its related to beauty standards etc, and so i never really took ot seriously and developed some very shitty habits due to food inaccessibility.

do you maybe have some articles or anything worth checking out about that side of eds? thanks in advance, love your blog so much!!

When the researchers sat down and started analyzing the results, they found almost linear correlations between eating disorder symptoms and food insecurity. A replication study in 2019, conducted in an even larger population at the same food bank, found almost identical results. “It was some of the saddest and most beautiful data that I had ever seen,” Becker said.

Her work challenged preconceptions about what eating disorders actually were.

Singh, the New York dietician, said those preconceptions stem from the fact that people who have eating disorders and can afford to seek help tend to be wealthier. And most research is done on patients who show up in clinics.

Food insecurity never even entered the picture of how psychology and psychiatry conceptualized an eating disorder, Singh said. As a result, starving yourself to lose weight was considered a disorder, but no one thought about starving yourself to ensure your family had enough to eat.

Results suggested that individuals in the child hunger insecure group had the highest levels of eating disorder symptoms. Seventeen percent of individuals in this group had a clinically significant eating disorder, compared with 9.4% in the food insecure group, 2.6% in the household food insecure group, and 2.9% in the not food insecure group. Binge eating, overeating, night eating (waking up to eat a large amount of food with distress at night), vomiting, laxative/water pill use, skipping at least two meals in a row, exercising harder than usual because of eating too much food, and weight/shape concerns were all more common in the child hunger food insecure group than the other three groups. There were no differences between groups for the eating disorder symptoms based on sex, race, or ethnicity. Similarly, internalized weight stigma and worry was greatest in the child hunger group.

There are several implications for this study. First, these data reiterate that eating disorders do not discriminate on the basis of socioeconomic status. Individuals who are food insecure need to be considered in future research in order to fully understand risks that are specific to this population (e.g., food restriction for any reason). Second, prevention, intervention, and treatment programs need to be designed so they can reach individuals who do not have the money to access these programs. For example, current treatments for eating disorders are primarily delivered face-to-face with a trained clinician, which is difficult to disseminate to a wide range of individuals. Finally, although not directly assessed, anti-obesity programs may negatively affect individuals who are food insecure and overweight or obese, given that internalized weight stigmatization was high in a proportion of these individuals. Additional research in this population will be critical to better understand risk factors for eating disorder symptoms in this understudied population.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/eat.22735 (<-link to study discussed above)

Many people (incorrectly) believe that eating disorders (ED) are more prevalent in the higher socioeconomic status (SES) groups. Studies conducted in the 1960s and 70s corroborate this statement; however, their methods may have biased the results. Recent studies using health questionnaires distributed to large heterogeneous populations have shown that EDs equally effect all people, regardless of SES. These studies have also demonstrated that females of the lower SES group report higher rates of disordered eating behavior (vomiting, use of diet pills, diuretics, or laxatives as a means to lose weight).

I'd rather be called a TERF than be someone who is ok with TQ+ organizations dedicated to minors without the commonsense approach of vetting the adults in the organizations or someone who pushes TQ+ studies without caring that the author is a pedo.

A gay couple who co-founded a Swiss LGBTQIA+ youth organization are being investigated by the public prosecutor after sexually exploiting two teenagers who were in their care. The men had created locations for their youth group, Sozialwerk.LGBT+, for children aged 13 and up in the city of Chur and in the municipality of Buchs, Switzerland.

While their identities were concealed by the press in Switzerland, Reduxx is naming the men involved as Holger Niggemann and his husband, Björn.

Holger, 42, is alleged to have had sexual contact with two 17-year-olds who had sought help for bullying with the organization. Holger was a board member of the group at the time, while his husband Björn was the business manager. The two men are said to have had a three-way sexual relationship with one of the teens, a 17-year old boy, according to a report by Tages-Anzeiger.

Numerous documents substantiate what happened in the group, including text messages, emails and voice messages, reports Tages-Anzeiger. Founded in 2020, Sozialwerk.LGBT has received public funding to set up facilities for at-risk youth as young as 13 who believe they are LGBT+.

During an investigation into the allegations, local media spoke to fifteen people close to the group to check the veracity of the allegations. The majority of those who came forward decided to remain anonymous.

One exception is Daniel Huber, a former board member of the association, who, with one other board member, reported the couple to public prosecutor Annina Grob, co-director of Avenir Social, the professional association for social work in Switzerland.

“For us, the behavior of the two is a total abuse of power, and the young people also felt that way. I brought it up again and again,” said Huber, who attended the meetings as a teenager before joining the board in a leadership role. “It is important not to look away from such behavior.”

According to statements from anonymous sources, the Niggemanns also took the 17 year-old boy on vacation to Germany with them.

Reduxx can reveal that a Dutch-American academic with a history of advocating for the normalization of adult-child sexual relationships has had a working relationship with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). Theodore Sandfort’s research has been presented at the organization’s symposium as recently as 2016.

Sandfort, a Columbia-affiliated academic and LGBT activist, previously worked with self-declared pedophiles in the Netherlands, documenting adult men’s sexual abuse of boys as evidence to support his theory that adult-child relationships are “predominantly positive.”

Prior to relocating to Columbia University, Sandfort received a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. He was also the Chairman of the Interfaculty Department of Lesbian and Gay Studies at Utrecht University and Director of the Research Program “Diversity, Lifestyles and Health” at the Netherlands Institute of Social Sexological Research.

A faculty member at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health, Sandfort has also been employed as a Professor of Clinical Sociomedical Sciences, and worked at the university’s HIV Center alongside former WPATH president and Director of the institution’s Gender Identity Program, Walter Bockting. Like Sandfort, Bockting relocated to Columbia University from the Netherlands, having completed his doctoral degree in psychology from the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam.

Bockting and Sandfort also worked together in a professional capacity while acting as members of the editorial board for the academic journal Psychology and Sexuality in 2015.

The following year, in 2016, research co-authored by Sandfort was presented at a WPATH symposium in Amsterdam.

The paper, titled “Gender nonconformity and peer victimization: Sexual attraction and gender differences by age,” focused on the experiences of Dutch same-sex attracted adolescents aged 11 to 18. The study concluded that gender non-conforming youth were bullied by their peers, leading Sandfort and his colleagues to recommend that “key educational messages that address sexual and gender diversity should be delivered during childhood before early adolescence.”

However, Sandfort’s prior work dealt with sympathetic portrayals of pedophilic relationships between adult men and adolescent boys. In recent years, he has also had access to vulnerable youth in New York City’s foster care system, and, in 2020, he was dismissed from this position when his troubling research history dealing with the sexuality of children came to light.

In 1983, Sandfort authored an article for Youth and Society (Jeugd en Samenleving) titled “Erotic moments in working with children,” a small-scale study of sexual desires among five adult group leaders for the children in their care.

The men described deriving sexual pleasure from working with children, specifically when exercising together, bathing the children, or holding them on their laps. One man, identified as “Lex,” spoke of being aroused while “tickling” children aged “2 or 3,” wearing only his underwear, and proceeding to touch the toddlers’ genitals.

i've been reflecting on my time in uni, and while i think it was a great experience and was worth it for me, i also want to reiterate that not everyone's paths are going to look the same, and that is a good thing. here's a list of things my friends are currently doing:

undergrad -> masters, and phd in clinical psychology (SO HARD to get into, they are already making waves in clinical research!)

undergrad in psych, masters in counselling (side business of art and tattooing)

dropped out after 3rd year to become a farmer

dropped out after 1 year of engineering to work full time at a hardware store, eventually went back to school with the hopes of starting their own business

is in the process of dropping out of university and pursuing something completely different

did university at home, graduated, still at home but with a fiance and a cat now lol

never went to university, stayed home, did therapy, and learned a trade

went to school, got a business degree, and decided that they preferred working at mcdonalds in a small town and supporting their partner's education

me: moving across the country to have a city girl moment and hopefully do an online program to become a counsellor

and this is just a handful of examples of the people in my circle... none of them are failures, they've all found success in ways that matter to them. i think it's very easy to get caught up in the idea that once you get out of highschool, you have to go to university, you have to move out of your parent's house, you have to get a job... but you don't have to do anything. you just gotta live, be a decent person, and love the people around you

[discountscholar]

Hi! I'm a psych aspirant. I went through your tumblr and I consider myself fortunate enough to have discovered it. I wanna know which college did you pursue your master's from? [If you're comfortable telling] Also, which colleges would you recommend for Master's in psychology that do give useful exposure to the students. Yes! In India itself... I might consider doing my phd abroad, later.... Long time in that. However, I believe it's important to land in a college that provides me access to not just the right education but also the right people to connect to, who will elevate my endeavors to something worth it.

Tysm!!

hi, thanks for your ask! it's nice to have a fellow psychology student from India in here :)

for the sake of privacy, i shall not be disclosing what university i go to, but it's a government university is all i can tell you. I'm still a first year master's student.

as for where to do your master's from, everywhere is equally shit xD but, it also kind of depends on your needs. if you're into counselling, maybe go for a college like St. Xavier's, Christ, AUD, etc. that will require you to take pro bono clients under supervision for counselling as a part of your course (you can still do that without your college including this in your curriculum).

my dream school was Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), but they didn't take yours truly in. if you're more into research, maybe you could look at IIPR, Ashoka, NFSU, etc.

If you specifically want to study modules on clinical psychology more, you could look at MA/MSc Clinical Psychology programs at Christ, Amity, Manipal, etc.

Government institutes are good if you want to do some other things alongside your studies like internships, additional trainings etc. which your college doesn't provide. govt colleges are pretty chill when it comes to their submissions and attendance criteria so this kind of thing is possible, but then you compromise with what the college gives you academically and professionally (nothing). it just gives you a brand tag and the flexibility to build your career and knowledge without their interference. and they're unreasonable hard to get into. this is what I'm doing.

all in all, tbf, in the long run it doesn't matter where you go to college if you ask me. what matters is how much you invest in your own upskilling and knowledge, how much exposure you're able to find for yourself.

there's nothing that a college would give you which you won't find outside of it. yes, it's gonna be a bit more tedious to get to those resources, but once you find them and utilize them as much as you can, you're gonna thrive just like someone from one of your dream schools.

so please don't attach your worth or hopes to any institute in this country (they don't deserve it), and if you're planning to go abroad, please start building your profile like that as soon as you can.

it's tough out there.

but if you try your best, i believe that you can get to a point that satisfies you.

good luck!

[kervl-klear]

I was wondering, if Huchu attempted cognitive behavior therapy then how did he run those sessions in terms of what did he do to try to help the others? Considering you wrote that, in doing so he caused the others to "internalize their problem to the point they cannot be helped anymore including himself". Also, did he think he could be like a psychiatrist (or at least provide similiar service) due to the fact that psychiatrists work with medicine?

I hope my question is clear enough. If not, feel free to ask what I am trying to ask (^^)

Thank you for tuning in to my frequency! The answer contained potentially triggering contents, so I'll hide it under the cut. Please enjoy. ✨

Huchu’s Qualifications

Huchu has bachelor's degree in neuroscience, master's degree in Pharmacy. D. and is currently studying PHD on medical instrumentation engineering. Aside from taking class, he’s a neurosurgeon at marine corps hospital, take shift as a battlefield surgeon at marine camp and use the rest of his free time to operate Lubi service so he has the following active licenses, Pharmacist license and P&S license.

In Northland, here’s the requirements for attaining psychiatrist certification: Be a graduate of an accredited medical school certified by International Red cross committee, complete all trainings in a program approved by Northland mental care bureau, have an active, full, unrestricted medical license, and have satisfactorily completed the Northland mental care bureau’s specialty training requirements.

So do keep in mind that Huchu is not qualified to do psychiatrist work as he lacks item 2 and 4.

Does Huchu think he is qualified to do psychiatrist works?

Unfortunately, yes. Despite lacking all the correct trainings, he tried to be both therapist and psychiatrist for C2ISTAR as you can see Hongcha mentioning Huchu being the one who prescribed Risperidone for Angae in [🌹for Angae].

This is because Huchu think that Clinical Psychology is like Neuroscience but less scientific. Similar to our world, neuroscience is praised as the hardest medical major in the world. So naturally Huchu look down on psychology as an easier neurology mixed with social study. So, in his little head. If mental care staffs can do it, then definitely neurosurgeon can do it too.

Clinical Psychology in the world of C2ISTAR

In the world of C2ISTAR, Mental illnesses are usually deemed as invalid illness, so the mental care industry is constantly being look down upon. The discrimination also discourages many people in this world from studying clinical psychology. Even if Huchu open his mind and take studying clinical psychology seriously, it is still very unlikely that he will produce good result as study material for clinical psychology in this world is ineffective at best from the very beginning due to the lack of interest this world has toward it.

The acceptable branches of psychology are study by the industrial, intelligence and defense service for the purpose of manipulation, interrogation and indoctrination which is very different from clinical psychology in practice.

Clinical psychology is also heavily associated with the Aldehyde cult. A multi-faith cult that believes mental illness is a sign of ascension. The more soldiers lose touch with reality, the closer they are to heaven and if they are close enough to heaven. These soldiers will be able to give birth to the new Angel that will be savior to their world. They often kidnapped veteran from asylum so they can use these veterans to birth a new Angel.

Huchu's treatment on C2ISTAR

Huchu might be well intention and most faults mainly resulted from ignorance, but the damage is still there. In fact Huchu is actually skeptical that CBT would produce result, however, C2ISTAR seems to need it and Huchu is weak to that. Here are the treatments Huchu did on each C2ISTAR alongside its effects.

Orenji’s treatment

Orenji is Huchu's first patient for CBT service with his main problem being Paruresis. Huchu choose Journaling and Cognitive restructuring technique for him. However, the underlying root of Orenji's Paruresis is Urolagnia so Orenji can't quite be honest with his thought. However, the cognitive restructuring is somewhat almost effective due to the other physical treatment. Orenji had chronic UTI that connected with bladder infection, so Huchu often insert catheter for Orenji whenever he needs it. This seems to cause Orenji to associate Huchu with relieve, hence the reason why he can go when Huchu is around. But can't quite do the same with someone else. Orenji also seems to develop some form of incontinence whenever Huchu is around.

Huchu also lose his temper every time Orenji induced temporary amnesia on himself because he knows how fragile Orenji's brain is as he was the one who put Orenji's brain and sculp back together so he's constanly worries about Orenji accidentally killing himself but since Huchu always arrive with Clozapine, he had been unknowingly endorsing Orenji's behavior. Still, after Orenji is back to his sense. He would have to endure a session of outburst Huchu throwing things at him or start hitting him with a chair.

Baegcha/Hongcha’s treatment

The main method is Role playing through puppet activity; the idea was so that Beagcha could see why he need to stop pursuing his stop-list so they can start working on his fear of touch. Usually when a certain method doesn't work, therapist would move on to the next one, but Huchu let Beagcha continue with the ineffective method because this is what Beagcha prefer to do and Huchu doesn't have the heart strip this away from him. Huchu later resort to locking Beagcha in his room whenever Huchu notices things are taking a toll on him and simply use puppet therapy as a way for Baegcha to process what he went through each hunt.

Huchu also deemed Hongcha to be something he need to get rid of because Huchu see Hongcha as the evil alter that endorse Baegcha to pursue the stop-list. The thing is that, neither Baegcha nor Hongcha are the host. Both Baegcha and Hongcha are alters pretending to be the host. Usually alters are protective of each other and take responsibility as a system. However, Huchu intervention had created a dynamic where both alters cannot get along. And because Beagcha trusted Huchu, he begun to think he needs to repress Hongcha to be better and Hongcha became bitter toward the situation, he blamed Huchu for his sour relationship with his alter.

When Hongcha appear mid-session, Huchu would either shock him with electricity or shove him into a small box to chase him away. Huchu did made many attempts to get rid of Hongcha ranging from submerging him in extremely cold water to purposely staving him and since Hongcha is unaware that it is impossible to get rid of an alter. Hongcha see Huchu’s attempts as life threatening situation and in retaliation, he believes that he must kill Huchu which make Baegcha agreed with Huchu even more.

Seoltang’s treatment

After discovered that sedative doesn't work on Seoltang. Huchu would mainly use Imagery and Relaxation training. However, the underlying cause for Seoltang's insomnia is cumulative anxiety of being in disguise. Something Seoltang cannot tell anyone due his true identity. Huchu had no idea about Seoltang's anxiety, so he had no idea why Seoltang sleep schedule doesn't improve not to mention that imagery make him feel worse as it worsens his longing for the place that no longer exist.

Out of concern as Seoltang already show all signs of developing Alzheimer, Huchu decided that any methods that give Seoltang shut eyes will suffice and purposed the hypoxia idea. So instead of having his anxiety treated and get an actual sleep, Seoltang ended up inventing so many self-choking methods that even people with choking fetish would think that this man is a freak. Thus, Seoltang's anxiety was never addresses not to mention that one of hypoxia common symptoms is also anxiety which contribute to his mood swing getting worse as well.

Noeu’s treatment

Noeu is way too shy to address that his overworking tendency came from his constant fear of unexpected death, so Huchu assumed that Noeu is obsessed with conquest and taking control. This led to Moral reconation therapy. However, Moral reconation therapy required to be practiced in groups as one on one session can reinforces narcissistic behavior. Somethings that should not be mixed with Noeu’s competitiveness and ambition.

The therapy also required the therapist to be well versed in the subject of morality to work which Huchu’s morality is ambiguous at best so he can’t always keep up with Noeu’s questions or leaps of logic. This unintentionally validated Noeu’s thought derailment and prompted him to go from weakening other nations then have Northland invade them to the exact same thing but also profiting from them and take advantage of their resources because he’s more confident in his ideal than ever and he now genuinely think he’s doing this world a favor.

Angae’s treatment

Usually, therapist would approach patient with hallucination with Reframing technique. Something that Angae had already accomplish on his own. This is because managing a psychosis episode with medication was proven less effective as medication came with side effect. However, due to Huchu being a neurosurgeon with neurology logic. He goes straight to prescribing Risperidone and focus more on helping Angae with anxiety using Stress inoculation training. However, Angae didn't stress out because he's worrying about having an episode. He has an episode because he's stressed out, so Angae made no progress and Huchu had been accidentally gaslighting Angae into thinking that he had an illness he didn't have.

Angae already questioned reality around him, so he is unsure how valid his opinion is about the topic. This led to Angae letting Huchu continue with the treatment that make no sense to him even though this fueled the thought that he's being held back to fit into a certain explanation.

Yuseong’s treatment

A lot of people with Hyperthemesia has tendency to be obsessed over things easily as well as having trouble moving on from the past because they had trouble forgetting things. So Huchu choose Metacognitive therapy and Distraction technique. Due to the confusion that came with partial amnesia combined with the fact that Yuseong never experience forgetting stuffs before, Yuseong is desperate to seek for things he can identify himself with. This led to his obsession to connecting his identity with the unhealthy diary, something Huchu sees as a form of delusion.

Usually, the first rule of dealing with delusional patient is to validate their experience. Although what happen isn't real to us, it's real to the patient. However, due to Huchu's concern of Yuseong recreating situation in the diary. Huchu usually react very sternly and outright dismissed Yuseong’s belief in the session. Since Yuseong can control his expression well, Huchu had no idea that he is invalidating Yuseong. Although Yuseong still likes Huchu, he began to pay less attention to the session and draw or play with his alphabet book whenever Huchu is holding a session for him. He also hold on to the diary even tighter than before.

Effect of failed treatment on Huchu

Therapy is a stressful and draining job, both therapist and psychiatrist in real life are trained and educated on how they can handle their job without intaking their patient's baggage.

But since Huchu never went through these training, all the negativity goes straight to him and since he is at the end of the line for mental comfort. Combine that with his habit of caring too much, he got stuck in a position where he himself has no one to go to for all the problems above he involves himself in. This of course fueled his urge to go through with unethical method to get what he wants for instead, considering amputating Noeu so he never has to worry about him arriving at ER with seizure again.

Clinical psychology is one of my weaker subjects, so the treatment descriptions are simplified at best and none of my statements should be considered scientifically accurate.

Still, I hope this information suffice you. \(^^ )✨

hey i’m a past dt fan and one of your asks popped up on my dash. i scrolled through your page for a while to see what was up (unsurprisingly, they’re in some sort of drama) BUT

i recently just went through the trials and tribulations of applying for a psyd (doctorate of psychology), which is similar to that of a phd except it’s a degree focused on clinical psychology.

YOU GOT THIS!!! its terrifying to apply to phd programs. i don’t know if you get imposter syndrome yourself, but if you do you will feel it.

the cohort sizes are small, everyone seems like they know what their whole plan for their research is, etc. but you work at nasa, and if it’s anything like my experience working in labs, you already know the feeling of sitting in a room with very smart people and wondering how you got there.

but remember - when you get there, you’ll DESERVE to be there. there will be no mistake.

i believe in you!! good luck on apps!!

Oh this is so insanely sweet of you! I appreciate you so much for taking a scroll through my blog and deciding to send this <3

And yeah I can definitely imagine those programs being really intimidating and imposter syndrome definitely is a bitch so I appreciate the encouragement 😭💕

All the best on your PhD journey as well! <3

[study-coffee-chicago]

hey hope ur doing well!! I just stumbled onto ur blog and I’m curious about how u got into grad school and ur journey.

I just graduated from college and am in a period where I’m just kind of floundering and unsure of what to do with my bachelors in psych. I would really appreciate any advice regarding the grad school application process!!

Hi! I was in your position just last year, so I completely understand!

My grad school app process was kind of a mess tbh.

Firstly, there are two different degrees for psych: PhD in psychology (doctor of philosophy in psychology) and PsyD (doctor of psychology). Both are highly respected, but a PhD is more research, fully funded, and way harder to get into. A PsyD is more clinical based, less funded, (so you’ll have to pay for it yourself and most likely will need to take out student loans), and easier to get into. For reference, a PhD program has about a 5% acceptance rate vs a PsyD program has about a 40% acceptance rate.

During your time in grad school, you will get to try out all the different specialties to know which one you prefer, but you need the base of a doctorate to do most things (ex. I want to be a neuropsychologist, which requires a doctorate and then a two year fellowship specifically in neuropsych).

My biggest advice would be to apply to both PhD and PsyD programs. I applied to only PhD programs first and didn’t get into a single one, so I had to frantically apply to PsyD programs which still had open deadlines in January and this was arguably one of the most stressful times in my life. So, learn from my mistakes and apply to both PhD and PsyD programs.

Feel free to message me if you need anymore information! I’m very happy to help!

Navigating Narcissism Podcast: Helping Those Who Battle The Self-Involved

Psychological disorders seem to be trendy, just like fashion, memes, and food. Two decades ago, bipolar disorder was a thing. Any disruptive or toxic person seemed to be diagnosed as bipolar. Today's go-to psychological diagnosis is narcissism. I was at a dinner party where gossiping about non-participants was expected. For every lurid tale of bad behavior, someone concluded with: "They're a narcissist."

Don't get me wrong. The world is full of narcissists, but not every Karen is a narcissist and not every narcissist is a Karen. I think many people have a sketchy idea of what defines a narcissist. So let's try to do that. 

"Narcissism is extreme self-involvement to the degree that it makes a person ignore the needs of those around them. While everyone may show occasional narcissistic behavior, true narcissists frequently disregard others or their feelings. They also do not understand the effect that their behavior has on other people."

That's why the podcast Navigating Narcissism with Dr. Ramani can help people to deal with true narcissists.

The elevator pitch for the show is: "We all have to deal with narcissists. Now, it’s time to heal from them. In this groundbreaking series, clinical psychologist and world’s leading expert on narcissism Dr. Ramani Durvasula talks to survivors and experts to help millions left reeling from narcissistic abuse."

The Navigating Narcissism podcast can break down classic narcissistic patterns like manipulation, control, gaslighting, and love bombing and help unpack feelings of betrayal, shame, confusion, pain.

The host of the show is Ramani Suryakantham Durvasula, who is an American clinical psychologist, retired professor of psychology, media expert, and author. In 1989, Durvasula obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Connecticut. She has also received a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Clinical Psychology from the UCLA in 1997.

So the good doctor is eminently qualified. 

 She has also appeared on media outlets discussing narcissistic personality disorder and narcissistic abuse, including Red Table Talk, Bravo, the Lifetime Movie Network, National Geographic, and the History Channel, as well as programs such as the TODAY show and Good Morning America.

I mention these TV appearances so you can understand that Dr. Ramani is good in front of the mic and camera. She's comfortable on her podcast discussing one of her areas of expertise, and she's a solid interviewer. Unlike other podcast psychologists, Dr. Ramani does not make extravagant claims about treatments and cures.

Dr. Ramani also reminds listeners that "this podcast should not be used as a substitute for medical or mental health advice." One of the most intriguing yet disturbing episodes was about Hollywood producer Scott Rudin, who The New York Post called "Hollywood’s Biggest A-hole." The male guest was not identified by name and had his voice modulated. 

In her opening, Dr. Ramani explains that Rudin is one of those rare producers who have won a EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). But the doctor chides, "You can spell EGOT without ego." The episode is a freak show of horrible behavior by Rudin, who adopts a familiar delusion that geniuses can get away with anything. Listen to the episode, and realize that Hollywood -- with its Weinstein's, Rudin's, Mel Gibson's, Bill Cosby's, -- can be hell on earth.

 Dr. Ramani has an episode on narcissism in the fashion industry. In another powerful episode, we hear from Dylan Farrow, daughter of actor Mia Farrow, about surviving sexual abuse, and one of the engrossing episodes was in June 2023 when Dr. Ramani talked to singer Jewel about how she survived an abusive father, a mother who abandoned and betrayed her and found healing in the most profound ways.

The June 2023 episode with dancer Cheryl Burke relates an all too familiar tale of a family friend who raped her as a child. 

In her September 28, 2023, episode, Dr. Ramani eschews guests for an Ask Dr. Ramani episode. Dr. Ramani answered listeners' deep questions about the most difficult - but most effective - way to heal from narcissistic abuse: going no contact. While that seems self-evident as a successful strategy, Dr. Ramani has taught us loyal listeners that narcissists have powerful weapons at their disposal -- gaslighting, playing the victim, love bombing, and blameshifting. 

Check out Navigating Narcissism with Dr. Ramani. Whether your particular narcissist is in your workplace, in your family, or in your own home, the podcast episodes can help people identify and then separate from narcissists.

As Dr. Ramani once said, “Relationships with narcissists are held in place by the hope of a ‘someday better,’ with little evidence to support it will ever arrive.”

what's your phd in?

I’m currently in the process of getting my PhD in developmental psychology with an interest in young children’s math problem solving and parents’ role in children learning. I chose a research focused track, not clinical, so I won’t be able to practice as a counselor or clinical psychologist ever but that’s ok with me. I want to become a professor and continue to do research after I graduate.

I’m going into my fourth year so I’m working on my research ideas to propose and start my dissertation project. It’s important to have an idea this school year since my program requires your dissertation to include two new experiments that I’ll need to collect all the data for, analyze, write, and defend before I’m officially finished. My program covers my stipend for 5 years and I plan to finish on time (hopefully) so time is ticking but it should be feasible🤞

[ceceliadestrade]

Name: Cecelia Iglesias Corisande Andres-Destrade

Age: Thirty Five

Preferred Pronouns & Gender: She/her, cis-female

Relationship Status: Single

Previous Job: Behavioral Analyst

Community Job: Medical Personnel, Therapist

Reside in: A small apartment near the library

How long have they been in Redwood?: Almost two years

TLDR: cecelia is a decorated neurologist and psychologist who had a speciality in behavioral therapy and acute lonliness. redwood is the first place she's been where she's had a chance to be herself build meaningful connections outside her family name.

Biography

Jon Destrade travelled to Barcelona only for business, he assured his wife time and time again. He traveled there for the good of his family, and nothing more. He did not travel there to see a mistress. He did not pour vast sums of money into a problem that he had caused, he did not make the mistake of signing the birth certificate of Cecilia Iglesias Corisande Andres-Destrade, giving the child legitimate claim to his estate. That would all have been fathoms below a man of his standing and intelligence. Such a scandal would have been impossible to cover. 

But, if such things had happened, the resulting daughter might have been something like this: 

She would be exceptionally bright, remarkably kindhearted, and infectiously nice. Raised by her mother and grandmother, kept in stylish clothes and private schools. Able to excel based on privilege her last name bought her, buoyed her own hard work. She would finish a bachelors degree in criminology and psychology at the University of Barcelona. She would go on to Cambridge, hoping to be closer to her father in London. She would hope proximity would finally bring them closer together, and not just open her up to a barrage of endless half-cousins and leering gossips. She would excel in her masters program, before continuing on to a PhD in behavioral psychology, and finally an MD with their neurology unit. The hope would endure that the more decoration she added to the Destrade name, the more likely it would be that her father would finally publicly accept her, that her mother could stop draining away her life waiting for the return of a man who had lost interest long ago. 

And if none of that worked, perhaps Dr. Cecelia Andres-Destrade, PhD & MD, would have to get away from it all just for a little bit. She would travel to the United States, just months before a deadly outbreak. She would be trapped in a state she knew little about, oceans away from her friends and family. Her expertise being misunderstood as clinical therapy, instead of advanced behavioral neurology, would mean that she gets lost in the shuffle of potential teams trying to find an explanation for the outbreak. She would drop completely off the radar, landing in the newly formed town of Redwood. 

And Cecelia would finally just be happy to be accepted, wish to be helpful. All her studies, which might have seemed simply for attention once, are suddenly one of the most useful skills sets to have at the end of the world. After a year, she has established herself as a benevolent figure in the community, a conflict mediator and a healer. Here in Redwood, she would finally have something the previous world could not give her, the ability to be her own person

Headcanons:

Although she has a friendly and generally even-keel demeanor, Cecelia is observant of everything and everyone. Although she is not confrontational, she often times finds ways to have conversations which confirm or deny her hypotheses.

Her one luxury she’d like to extend as long as possible is a warm mug of tea. It’s a trick that she finds always works to soothe her and others. She tries to be rational about what she trades for it, but it can be considered a weakness. 

She is non-violent, and has not aptitude for weaponry even now. She will do everything she can to avoid a a physical fight, and is not guaranteed to win against a zombie. As a result, she has spent the entire outbreak inside the town and does not venture out.

Understanding Dual Degree Meaning: A Comprehensive Guide 

What is the Dual Degree Meaning? 

A dual degree meaning refers to an academic program where a student earns two separate degrees, either from the same institution or from two different universities. This allows students to gain expertise in multiple disciplines simultaneously. A dual degree is often confused with a double degree, but there are key differences between the two, which we will explore later in this article. 

Dual Degree Meaning in Hindi 

ड्यूल डिग्री का अर्थ है कि किसी विद्यार्थी को एक साथ दो अलग-अलग डिग्री प्राप्त करने का अवसर मिलता है। यह डिग्री एक ही संस्थान से या दो अलग-अलग विश्वविद्यालयों से प्राप्त की जा सकती है। इसका मुख्य उद्देश्य विद्यार्थियों को बहु-विषयक विशेषज्ञता प्रदान करना है। 

Dual Degree vs Double Degree 

Many students often wonder about the difference between a dual degree and a double degree. While both involve earning two qualifications, the major difference lies in structure and duration: 

Dual Degree: Students complete coursework for two separate degrees, but there is often an overlap in subjects, reducing the overall time needed. 

Double Degree: Requires students to complete two distinct degree programs separately, often taking longer than a dual degree. 

Dual Degree Examples 

There are various fields where dual degrees are highly beneficial. Some common dual degree examples include: 

B.Tech + MBA – A combination of engineering and business administration. 

BBA + LLB – Ideal for students interested in both business and law. 

MD + PhD – Suitable for medical students who also want to pursue research. 

MBA + MS in Data Science – Great for professionals looking to integrate business with technology. 

BA + MA in Psychology – Often seen in psychology studies to gain deeper expertise in the field. 

Dual Degree Meaning in Psychology 

In the field of psychology, a dual degree can be a valuable asset. Many students opt for: 

BA in Psychology + MS in Clinical Psychology – To advance in mental health professions. 

Psychology + Neuroscience – To explore the biological aspects of human behavior. 

Psychology + Business – Useful for HR, marketing, and organizational psychology. 

Having a dual degree in psychology allows students to expand their career opportunities beyond traditional counseling and research roles. 

Dual Degree Meaning in College 

A dual degree in college means students are enrolled in two different degree programs at the same time. Some colleges offer structured dual degree programs where students complete coursework for both degrees with overlapping credits. Examples include: 

Engineering + Business Administration 

Law + Political Science 

Economics + Data Science 

Many colleges now encourage dual degree programs to enhance employability and interdisciplinary learning. 

Dual Degree Undergraduate Programs 

For students who wish to pursue multiple interests, dual degree undergraduate programs are an excellent option. These programs allow students to combine: 

Science + Arts 

Engineering + Management 

Health Sciences + Business 

These programs are structured so that students complete their studies in a shorter time compared to pursuing the degrees separately. 

Joint Degree from Two Universities 

A joint degree from two universities is another form of dual degree where students study at two different institutions, often in different countries. Examples include: 

MIT and Harvard (Engineering & Business) 

Oxford and Cambridge (Law & Public Policy) 

Stanford and UC Berkeley (Science & Technology) 

These programs provide international exposure, networking opportunities, and access to diverse academic resources. 

Best Dual Degree Combinations 

Choosing the best dual degree combination depends on career goals and personal interests. Some of the most sought-after combinations include: 

Computer Science + Business – Ideal for tech entrepreneurs. 

Engineering + Law – Useful for intellectual property law and patent law. 

Biology + Public Health – Suitable for those interested in medical policy. 

Finance + Economics – Great for careers in investment banking. 

Education + Psychology – Beneficial for those working in special education or counseling. 

Conclusion 

Understanding the dual degree meaning helps students make informed decisions about their academic and professional futures. Whether you’re interested in a dual degree meaning in psychology, a joint degree from two universities, or best dual degree combinations, these programs provide a strong foundation for diverse career opportunities. With the increasing demand for multidisciplinary expertise, dual degrees are becoming a popular choice among ambitious students worldwide.
