Today in therapy, we developed a metaphor comparing me to a traumatized horse that goes into fight or flight over the slightest touch on the lead rope. And work is an average horse trainer interacting with me.

A great trainer would take many steps back, let the horse loose in a pen and just sit with it for as long as it takes to develop a sense of safety and trust. After that, they would slowly build back up to wearing a halter and lead rope, and counter condition the lead rope so leading becomes a safe and comfortable feeling. That's the magic wand scenario (unrealistic wishes for how life could be better): taking a long term break from work to develop a sense of safety in everyday life and accumulate enough maturity/capacity to cope with raising the expectations again years later.

But we're talking average traditional horse trainer, who expects this horse to do its job asap, but also wants minimal stress reactions while doing so. What can be improved without taking steps back?

If you stay just where you're at, slight touch on the lead to create movement, for long enough, then eventually the panicked leap forward will shut down into a tense walk. But the emotions are still the same, and the problem will be explosive again when the bar rises.

What's the in between? How can we improve the emotions without taking steps back? How can I develop feelings of safety while still doing my job?

anything and everything is pissing me off today i literally feel like this

coughs awkwardly uhm. is mutt entirely a loner or would mutt have any friends/confidants/partners in crime.

he's not a loner at all! he's pretty isolated from society but that's just because of his circumstances. he actually really likes people!

the only exception to that rule would be the town he did his slashing spree in, which he hates a lot. but that was a very specific revenge thing. so as long as you don't live in that One Specific Town, you'd be alright in his books.

that all said, he has a lot of mixed up ideas about violence and affection, so him liking someone doesn't mean he isn't still gonna try to injure them for no reason (and expect to get injured in return sometimes). ultimately the way he conceptualizes pain/pleasure is very similar to what the cenobites have going on, just with less self awareness, and I imagine that would carry over into any sort of relationships Mutt would have cause it's a very consuming worldview for him.

if ur wondering, in "canon" he only really has two friends/partners. the first was the surgeon who kept Mutt as a pet puppyboy and turned him into his current self to begin with. the second is Michael Myers who I ship post-killing-spree Mutt with lol. I wouldn't mind him having friends/confidants/partners in crime outside of those two tho :-)

TL:DR Mutt's not a loner and he would love it soo much if u pet him on the head like a dog, u just gotta be prepared for a friendly stabbing or two if he gets too excited

Luca is a dog and Clemente it’s cruel owner. He needs to beat it to make sure it stays loyal.

I can feel people's distain for me radiating off of them

the nice part about fanatic canonically telling seer stories in the valkyrie (and seer at least nominally paying attention before their mind wanders) means that Kal absolutely tells Kenna stories when they’re having a bad day, and sometimes it doesn’t even seem like preaching

start telling yourself that people like that ain't worth your mental energy (which is just the truth bestie!!!!!!!!!!) <3 and they'll always have that passing thought at 2am right before they fall asleep that you were right and they were wrong and stupid whilst you are in ur lil pillow palace sleeping like a peaceful rock and having the best time of ur live (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

(more serious answer under the cut)

sorry if none of this will actually make sense, but this was my thought process to learning to letting go;

and well for me it was part growing up on the internet and part learning to just not care and live my silly little life haha. I've been blocked by so many people, even huge accounts and often for the stupidest reasons (like having a different opinion about Timothée chamalet definitely not trying to be harry styles because he literally just wore a black sparkly suit to an award show) and it's all about just. letting go (and that's a lot lot looot harder to do than just saying it. it takes a lot of time to learn it and to accept it and it's okay to feel sad and upset and confused)

something that greatly helped me, is that i allow myself those 10 to 15 minutes of feeling hurt and confused, especially if it was a blog i actually liked or felt i vibed with. and then i tell myself that, yeah, everyone is allowed their own, curated online experience! and if im not part of that, than so be it. will it still make me cry at 3am 7 months later when im spiraling and thinking about all the wrong i ever did? yes. will it make my daily life a bit lighter because im not constantly worried about others' opinions of me? also yes. is it one of the hardest things to do? also absolutely yes! it's a long process of establishing your self worth and learning that people are strange and illogical creatures that do irrational things.

and being able to tell yourself 'oh well' will greatly!! improve your mental wellbeing. you're not constantly picking apart your (and their) brain to figure out why.. sometimes there is no why unfortunately.

I'm blocked by huge blogs in different fandoms (and PETA on both twitter and instagram for two different things i did), some I've genuinely never even interacted with! and it does suck when one of their funny posts comes on ur dash and all ur moots are having fun throwing it around like a dodgeball and ur just watching from the sideline like >:( but then again they can't rebollge your funny posts either! so it's on them. their posts aren't that funny afterall!!!!

learning to let go is really important in life, and especially with how big the internet is a part of our lives and that people feel more and more comfortable with the nonexistent lie of anonymity on the webs. words and actions don't have impacts anymore, suddenly.

im here if you ever need to talk about it though, because being blocked can really really sting, even if you've mastered the art of living rent free in people's heads

and also, remember; they're genuinely not worth your time and mental energy!!! you've only got one you and it's unfair to yourself to divulge all your attention to others when they can't spare another look at you(r content).

(also a tiny little thing i did to 'practice' being okay with being blocked is just getting blocked by accounts like PETA. it's part of rejection therapy i guess? but a corporate account won't really remember! so! and getting blocked by them is easier than it seems :>)

you're someone's hated tumblr

fascinating new argument has entered the animal rights field: "it's okay to breed animals for a specific human-related purpose over a long period of time and then continue exploit their bodies for that purpose even when they are no longer obligated to because they enjoy fulfilling that purpose. because we bred them to enjoy it"

Not to sound like I was raised by protestants, but I think those kids who argue that it's animal abuse to put working dog breeds to work doing the tasks they were bred and born for have simply genuinely never encountered the concept that they, too, could be genuinely happier if they could do work they found wortwhile and enjoyable. Like engaging in useful and constructive activities might genuinely make life better than a life of doing absolutely nothing because nobody's making you do anything.
