Anya Kaats hosts A Millennial's Guide to Saving the World podcast, and co-hosts Whore Rapport, with Erin Ginder-Shaw. Anya consistently challenges her listeners to reconsider what's really going on within discussions of gender, power, sexuality, spirituality, regenerative agriculture, trauma, grief and community. Through curiosity, creativity and conversation, Anya hopes to encourage others to dream new dreams, ask new questions & interpret the world in new ways.
Don't think I ever believed you could change the World. Too ambitious. With age comes realization that there's damn little anyone can change on a large scale, & that all progress is temporary.
I would've thought the goal of therapy is insight By the Patient. The realization that comes from working things out yourself is far more potent than anything a therapist could possibly explain to you. A therapist's role must be to nudge the patient toward actual insights, letting the patient add 2 & 2 & come up with 4.
Naturally if the patient stubbornly resists arithmetic, the therapist should say "Come back when you're ready, cuz you ain't." Good therapists probably do that.
It never ceases to amaze me how Donald Trump moves Americans. I can see why some people thoroughly disillusioned by The Duopoly support him by persuading themselves he (1) is different, & (2) has the wherewithal to change anything. Both notions are obviously mistaken. How do we know this? Because he was already in power for 4 years & did neither anything the MAGA people expected he would nor what loyal Dems feared.
Conversely, liberal Americans make me laugh by obediently panicking about him at this point, as though they hadn't already had 4 years in which to realize that he didn't do all the booga-booga things we were promised in 2016 he'd do if elected. That he's just another lean'n'mean maintainer of the status quo.
