    Four examples of magical thinking from childhood trauma.



    The video is about magical thinking. The speaker of the video, Patrick Teahan, is a therapist who specializes in childhood trauma. He talks about his own childhood experiences with magical thinking and how it carried over into his adulthood. He also defines magical thinking and gives examples of how it can manifest in adult survivors of childhood trauma.

    Some examples of magical thinking from the video:

    • As a child, the speaker thought that he could change his mother's life by being a good kid.

    • He also thought that he could fix his family's problems by taking care of the lawn.

    • When his mother would drink and drive, he would pretend to steer the car using the window winder to compensate for her crossing into other lanes.

    • As an adult, the speaker sometimes ignores his relationship problems and hopes that they will magically work out.

    • He also sometimes ignores stressful events and pretends that they are not happening.
    Magical thinking is a common coping mechanism for childhood trauma survivors. It can be helpful in the short term, but it can also be harmful in the long term. If you are struggling with magical thinking, it is important to seek help from a therapist.

    Dems are causing more childhood trauma than anyone.
    Oligarchs believe they're gods, magical thinking right there.

    Fuck, notagain is stupid. Look maga guys, in a month you will possibly be asked by Trump to take up arms against your neighbours. Brother against brother and such. Ground yourselves a bit and don't do that.

    After he goes away it will be very much like after the 2020 election where for eight months or so without him in your feed every day you felt better and will again.

    Yet again today I ran into an older MAGA guy who moved to Panama because his family wanted nothing to do with him so he chose the expat life. When it get that you cut your own grandkids off because of Trump, you know you are in a cult.

    I hear good things about those Swiss penis enlargers. They should put them in malls, painted red. :)

    Or maybe.. Orange bronzer machines..

    The deeply religious must be capable of suspending the rational reasoning power most of us have acquired naturally by the time we are adults. You, it would seem, have that capability and should be a good recruit prospect for both religion and Trump's cult. Not surprisingly, Trump is actively courting evangelicals.
