Re: The Body Keeps the Score (book)

Well now you've got me curious, is the gentleman in you story asking for the book recommendation directly, or are you hoping that sharing the book will kick-start his interest? My take might be different depending on if they're acknowledging they need to get educated and examine their behaviors for...

Re: The Body Keeps the Score (book)

In truth, Jersey, I probably would--with the caveats that I listed above. I think that PTSD is too easily shrugged off by a misunderstanding public--a tendency this book certainly attempts to remedy. The book's strengths are that it's well-written and accessible, with a solid core of theory. Its we...

Re: The Body Keeps the Score (book)

Thanks guys! I couldn't have picked a worse week to start this thread. That said, let me just put out one quick scenario for the time being. Your partner has PTSD. You like to watch football games on television. When you watch the games, you jump up and down and shout like a guy...because you're a g...

Re: Anyone following the Gabby Petito case? (Breaking)

That would be my bet. You know maybe the rejection of expert witnesses and ditching the first trial will turn out to have been a blessing in disguise. As a result of the discovery of her remains there could be evidence that ties BM directly to the murder that they didn't have before. And they'll na...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

You can (with help) disassemble it from the inside. But I'm not going to bang my head against it anymore. I came back to argue that young women are safer when dating older men compared to men their own age. I said nothing about my dating life, or my lack of success. Yet another non-responsive reply...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

Still, I wouldn't give anyone a high five for dating a 17 year old when they are 26, even as a fantasy. Most people would think that was creepy and inappropriate. Do you have any statistical evidence of that? I suspect it's just your inner circle, I think most people would be fine with that. I've h...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

Should you ever begin to second guess your decision, please take a look at this 120 page thread just from the outside of it. May the words let go or be dragged , be your guide. Or even better, I'll PM you and let you beat me about the head and shoulders. :lol: Not a problem. Should that event arise...

Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

If I'm right, then arguing with you about your relationship posts makes me complicit in the harm you are inflicting on yourself. There is nothing I can say that will have any positive impact. That's hard for me, because I've been rooting all along for something -- anything -- that will create a mom...

Does anyone know how Tim is doing? Anything you're able to share?
