I, too, find the celebrity stuff vomit-inducing.DrStakhanovite wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 12:52 amThat is because John Dehlin has been laboring away for years to create this exact state of affairs, this is how you stay relevant. If people aren’t talking about you across multiple social media platforms, then what you say and do doesn’t matter. The kind of metrics Dehlin cares about can’t penetrate things like HIPPA or make it past the scrutiny of research ethics committees. You don’t get the New York Times or minor Utah Celebs contacting you if you are laboring away in the obscurity of private practice helping people conduct CBT exercises and constantly being behind on session notes.
It was awful, and I have no idea what the behind-the-scenes dynamic is there. But it is something I really don’t feel so bold as to comment at length on, mostly because I do not want to opine on Margie’s agency in it all. You seem pretty convinced that he twisted her arm to do this. It seems to me that they have become much more of a team. Call me a hypocrite, but I feel safer keeping my nose out of it.I got physically uncomfortable watching John’s wife rehearse those carefully selected euphemisms for infidelity, because you could clearly see the amount of emotional pain the issue still caused her and it was readily apparent she had not “moved past” it. Still, John put her in front of that camera and had her do the whole routine and the worst part is that the ex-mo community, across all fronts, just sort of ignored it and carried on as if this incredibly f’ed up incident didn’t happen.
But, hey, Rosebud. Amirite?
Rosebud and her gimp come here to push their crap on us. But, hey, that’s gotta be our fault for reacting to endless nonsensical screeds and vague-booking posts. I also give more sincere personal encouragement to Rosebud than I do Margie. The day that Margie comes here to mix it up, let me know.
