Introducing myself
    #23692663 - 09/29/16 11:34 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hello everyone! I am a licensed Behavioral Analyst and work primarily with the autistic and related developmental disorders. I am well acquainted with the use of best practice evidence based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and would like to assist anyone with behavior change to gain a more positive life. Feel free to message me here within this forum or through private message. I also am proficient in the use of various psychoanalysis techniques to assist in reducing the effects of depression, anxiety, PTSD.

This is in no way an advertising venture, I am simply more than my Noob hunting skill set. With that being said, perhaps there are some people who live in NEPA, who can help me learn some identification skills.

Have a Grateful day!

Brendan, my career does not dictate my personal life, however I do make wise decisions and have come to this forum to learn and be responsible.

I used properly identified magic mushrooms to self treat depression and made a great deal of personal progress within a several month period.

What do you take of this?
Would you consider or advise against such practices?

There is amazing research being done on their use to help, cure depression. I find their use liberating.

Hi Toad!

I'm reading my second Karen Horney book about psychoanalysis. I'm amazed.

I read a lot, and for me, this subject blows all others out of the ballpark.

To understand the causes of my neurosis is the holy grail to me. And that I can change.

Lest I come off like a fanatic, can you attest to how this can help people?

Hop on over the mushroom hunting and identification forum, lots to learn over there, and plenty of good teachers too.

Oh and welcome.

RJ, while I respect Karen as a pioneer in her day being a women in a male dominant profession, I am more of a Jung man. Carl Jung's theory on psychoanalysis and personality development allows us to examine archetypal principals. The balance of masculinity and femininity in both male and female humans, and that we are out to gain this balance in our personality to gain wholeness or infinite peace. Jung also believed in dreams and their significant use of symbols to guide us.  This would be a great place to start in your quest of knowledge and personal insight through Jung theorem: https://www.amazon.com/Archetypes-Collective-Unconscious-Collected-Works/dp/0691018332

In regard to neurosis, I believe in depth psychology and Jung as my model, I agree with Abraham Maslow in his thoughts on the human experience and personality development to a degree because we all strive for the end result of self actualization and the road to this place must be tread with knowledge of levels of development and acceptance of also knowing that until one level is met we as the human species can't expect to reach the next and so on.

Meeting these levels of development is not a universal way of conformity, rather a specific individualized road to walk, not run.

Seek balance in everything you are and the neurosis will take care of its self. Easier said than done, however you are a reader and seem to have a foundation in psychoanalysis in regard to personal liking to Horney. If I can ask, what about her specifically do you enjoy? 

The use of mushrooms or any other psychedelic, is a window to the soul, but there are no blinds, shutters, or curtains to draw when that light comes blaring in. With that being said maybe what we don't want to experience IS the exact aspect we must change in order to get to a balance, to be our own mandala.

As a general point, Freud, Jung, Maslow, and Horney believed emotional disturbances come from within.

(That's in dramatic stark contrast to modern-day "disease theory"!)

I've never had someone lay out in detail why I've been so miserable.

Horney states how her ideas are a bit different than the others, but she's not dogmatic and admits this
is her best representation of cause and effect. While Freud focused on repressed instincts, and Jung was
more mystical (unconscious fantasies and striving) Horney speaks about the evidence that disturbances
(neurosis) are rooted in fears, helplessness, and isolation.

She outlines in a clear fashion our inner conflicts, and their consequences.

The subjects she dissects strike me deeply

* Neurotic perfectionism
* Compulsive indecision
* Dread of failure
* Dread of stupidity
* The conflict between me and my idealized image
* Neurotic isolation, fear, and aggression
* The rage against self (self-hatred)
* Self-adoration / narcissism

What are your dreams about, any symbols, remarkable aspects that remain in your consciousness, or a reoccurring theme to the dreams?

Where do you have the greatest conflict, do you emit escape behavior that provides (-) reinforcement? An example here would be: parents visiting, you agree to the visit, however take a call that could have been ignored to avoid their presence?

The behavior can eventually become a cusp where it is emitted without thought. The pattern of avoidant behavior creates an internal conflict based on your perception of where the conflict is (right and wrong i.e.)  So, considering  the ego and its mediator role between the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious (Jung), the neurosis is the end result of these unconscious, behavioral cusps, and  (+) reinforced behavior (self-reinforced).

I can start helping by objectively defining your maladaptive behavior, conducting a Functional Behavioral Assessment, and begin analysis. PM me with a narrative.

Here are two (of many) conflicts


I want a woman to take care of me.

  * But I'm resentful of being dependent on anyone. 


I want my boss to think I'm a hard worker.

  * But inside, I know I'm lazy.
