Maybe it's true, maybe not, but he did work in psychotherapy and they're something to consider.
One other note that I have is that I get wary about people who say "just listen; people want to be heard", as this was not sufficient in my case, but I acknowledge that every case is different.
- Quinzel 3y agoThe feminists in my forensic psychology course would have absolutely roasted that guy and his “ugly truths” post. I don’t consider myself to be a feminist, but I thought some of his “ugly truths” were out dated and I thought the appeal to gendered stereotypes was pathetic, especially coming from someone who claims to have authority in the field of psychology.
- superchroma 3y agoI'm sure they would. I think there are points worth considering at least in there. If the only takeaway is that you need to talk to different people differently then that is valuable. This guy has seen many people and couples and I have not so it was interesting to see his observations, even if they may not hold water.
