If anyone is at the end of their rope, feel free to email me. I do emotional philosophy and would be happy to help if you've exhausted all other options.
Sounds like a synonym for untrained unlicensed psychotherapy.
If you read around the malpractice that happens with regulated therapists that have oversight and reporting requirements, you will be deeply sceptical about the absolute weapons that sell themselves as "coaches" and such. It's a great way for scammer to access incredibly vulnerable people and create exploitative relationships. Please seek help through reputable medically endorsed regulated providers.
I'd be way more popular if I were a scammer. Scammers tell people what they want to hear. I'm the worst person in the world at that. I really am just trying to help people failed by the medically endorsed regulated providers. If you're curious about my book, I can email you a copy. It's basically cut down to the length of a long blog post by now (just under 10k words). I'd appreciate a skeptical eye.
It's any philosophy that describes emotion. Mine in particular describes emotions as arguments. If you're still curious, contact me through my profile here and I will send you a copy of my book.
Thank you for putting this out there. I do a thursday zoom "TED talk" on the topic of mental health, and when I read an article like this it makes me feel like I missed someone. My biggest goal is to give people tools so they do not get to the point where everything seems so dark that escape is the only option.
#1 tool is gratitude-and then action to show it.
Generally it's low. I say the "exhausted other options" bit because the personality archetype prevalent in tech will generally view the institutional approach as the ultimate method (which is just fine, please get help where you need it). The problem is if that doesn't work, they don't see other options as viable. To them, suggesting philosophy is like suggesting herbal tea after the strongest antibiotic failed. In a sense that's right, but there are problems that herbal tea solves that antibiotics do not.
