Whats In Your InBox?

What's in Your Inbox?

What’s in your inbox? Probably a lot of the same woke messaged material we’re finding in ours. But it’s never a good idea to send that stuff to Therapy Sister, Kip Rodgers, cause you’re liable to get an unexpected response! That’s exactly what we have for you this week, a back and forth dialogue between Kip and a group that feels the need to apologize for….well, just have a read and then if you’d like to hear the group discussion about this you can find that here. Have fun! #1 Original Email Subject: A Letter From the xxxxxxx XXXXXXX XXXXX Committee Regarding xxxxxxx Symposium 2024. We, as the leadership of xxxxx Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxxx Eating Disorders Professionals/Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx xx Xxxxx Committees…

Showing Up in Google on Page 1

Showing Up in Google on Page 1

Was asked a very good question about showing up in Google on Page 1 last week and so I thought I’d address that directly in some detail. Let me give you a list of things that are working against you as a small business then I’ll give you a focused solution that’s fairly easy to implement. Not Showing Up in Google? 1. Know This: Your website has in place an seo infrastructure which automagically utilizes specified text placed in strategic places on a page/post to build a meta-structure that the directory spiders can recognize and use to rank your site. That’s already in place. 2 Know This: The only search results that matter are what shows up on Pages 1…

My Transition to a Holistic Mental Health Approach

My Transition to a Holistic Mental Health Approach

On LifeTreeCounsling.com, my practice website each of our counselors have their own dedicated web page, and I’ve just updated mine. In fact, I had so much new material to add about what I’m doing in the holistic arena that I’ve added a second page and I want to share that with you all. I’m Transitioning! You’ll find my original page here and it’s linked several times to my new page which you can reach directly by clicking here. The first page remains the same except for the links, it’s the second page to which I’d like to draw your attention. It’s all about my focus on a holistic, or whole-body approach to mental health. The short audio outlines my “why”,…

Do You Need Mission and Vision Statements?

By Phillip Crum | June 26, 2023 |
Mission and Vision Statements

If you’re old enough to remember, back in the late ’90’s every public corporation had to have Mission and Vision Statements. It was all the rage and most of them were crap. They were either outsourced to some 3rd-party PR firm or developed by an in-house committee and they sounded like it (“a camel is a horse designed by a committee”). Left a bad taste in the minds of a lot of marketing-minded people. So why am I going to recommend that you have them? Your Marketing Advantage Because you are a small business. Your practice is largely about you and with rare exception corporate America can’t make their business all about one personality. You can and you should. Your…

The War on Reason-Part 7

The War on Reason-Part 7

Post-modernism began its take-over of the universities in the late ’50s and have had almost 70 years now to commandeer the liberal arts colleges. This is where they recruit and train their ranks of indoctrinated believers and send them out into every conceivable corner of our nation, including our profession. I keep a diagram, which I will share with you, to help me keep things straight because the matrix we live in is such a mess. In examining the diagram it has become clear to us that there are three major fronts upon which to fight this battle in which we find our profession and our nation: 1) a direct confrontation with the current academic model. 2) direct and immediate…

The War on Reason-Part 6

The War on Reason Part 6

There are at least 3 major, systemic pathways that are negatively influencing and impacting our profession: Academia via the Post-Modernism/Woke movement, Big Pharma, and Big Finance. In this post, the 6th in a series of 7, we will address the first leg of that trifecta, how the Post-Modern/Woke culture has invaded our profession through Academia. But first, how did we lose Academia? The Last Gasp of a Defeated Foe Post-Modernism gained traction outside of the Ivory Towers in the 1850’s. 100 years and 138 million bodies later the grand experiment, Capitalism vs Socialism, was finished and Capitalism had won a resounding victory. Events in the mid-’50’s, courtesy of the Soviet bloc (Hungary ’56), all but ended any hope of any…

Social Contagion and the Permanence of Fads

By Kathleen Mills | May 9, 2023 |
Social Contagion

I am contending that “social contagion” explains the rapid rise in transgenderism in the last 20 years, paralleling the advent of social media as the primary vehicle for facilitating the active spreading of information. That’s a mouthful but all it means is that social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Tic-Toc are the modern-day infection mechanisms for psychosomatically based group infections. An idea can be more easily spread today across these platforms to the highly suggestible minds of puberty-aged young teens, predominantly female. Social contagion is not a new phenomenon, having been observed and documented back to at least the middle ages. While the simple suggestion of an idea can produce actual physical outcomes the overall event itself is typically…

The War on Reason-Part 4

The War on Reason-Part 4

The table that follows lists two schools of thought you need to understand for our next segment: Modernism, which is what built America, and Post-Modernism, or Woke as it’s called now. The main pillars of each camp are listed below. The tenets of Modernism are listed on the left-side of the table, and how Woke-ism has altered each tenet is listed on the right followed by a comparison/contrast explanation of each one. Let’s quickly deal with each of the four tenets and see if you recognize the absurdity of the Post-Modern (Woke) way of viewing the world. Individualism vs Collectivism Individualism is based on reason and reality. It recognizes you apart from anyone else, a “group of one”, free to…
