CHILDHOOD PSYCHOLOGY
Posted Sunday, February 25, 2024.
When children are put into the role of saving their parents either from heartache or from clinical ill health, they develop a relationship of co-dependency. Each party consoles the other.

Dr. Bruce Perry in Houston does trauma therapy. Bennett says that it’s difficult to help kids out of traumas with therapies like cognitive behavior.

Yes, we often see this, people treating us badly can be observed doing the same to others and similarly harming themselves in the process. Forgive them for they know not what they do.
These are often manipulative psychological games to obtain attention. https://t.co/n6KiFKPc5E

CONFLICT RESOLUTION Posted on Sunday, May 24, 2020.

Before I begin to list different techniques, styles, or strategies for resolving conflicts, one tool that will gain you control and advantage is active listening. Jordan B. Peterson recommended Carl Rogers’ guide to active listening. Give it a reading.

Positive Liberty is self-mastery—the rule of the self, by the [S]elf. To have positive liberty is to take control of one’s own mind; to be liberated from irrational fears and beliefs, from addictions, superstitions, and all other forms of self-coercion. Isaiah Berlin

Find his work here.

Don’t settle for a life understood but not lived the way you want; a life explained but not changed; a life ground down but not elevated. Understanding is not enough. Behavior matters. Living wonderfully matters.

And this . . .

When you transfer knowledge to someone, you’re not giving them everything but rather a foundation to build upon and to make greater. Terry Mark

PERSONALITIES

[Posted Thursday, April 26, 2018] Regarding personalities, what many of us are looking for, at least initially–early on in life, is someone we can imitate, someone who is charming, intelligent, who can listen and who celebrates who we are. We want to keep from us, keep those people away who seek to harm us, who want to steal from us and take advantage of us. In this risky business that is Life, we want to minimize loss and enhance life. So it helps to be on guard for personalities who abuse trust. It is a fact of life, in every moment of history, that there are predators, predators whose intentions are deliberate, and predators who take advantage of you incidentally, meaning that they don’t stop to think about what you want or what your needs are. Government bureaucrats fit into this category. So you want to look for good personality traits, life-enhancing, business-promoting personalities, folks who prefer problem-solving to problem-creation. More on this in a future post.

Here is Chris Costner Sizemore (1927-2016), the century’s first multiple personality diagnosis. She had 22 different or dissociative personalities from which she recovered and became fully integrated. The 1957 movie, The Three Faces of Eve, starring Lee J. Cobb and Joanne Woodward is the story of Ms. Sizemore. And my guess is that psychiatrists got loose and fancy-free with their diagnoses and their prescriptions so that they could build a psychiatric empire, diagnosing people, particularly women, with everything from a moment of daydreaming or lack of vitamin B1 or B12 to a Prozac deficiency if you know what I mean. Funny, too, that Joanne Woodward also starred in another multiple personality dissociation movie, called Sybil, starring Sally Field, was released in 1976. That movie scared the beJesus out of me. The 70s’ were fraught with some of the greatest films and music in the world but also some of the most torturous.

One thing that I cannot help but notice is how involved the psychiatrists are in the diagnosis, treatment, and study of personalities, as though it is one long extended study. For the field of psychiatry to even exist why they need patients. These psychiatrists confer amongst themselves, there’s plenty of drugs flooding the industry, some given to them explicitly to conduct experiments on “willing” or “suspected” individuals. The industry seems bogus to me; instead, it is a drug racket, an experimental lab run by the military. That’s not to say that there aren’t individuals with multiple personalities. In fact, Dr. Colin A. Ross states that it is not an uncommon condition. But I think that the diagnoses inside the DSM manual are so broad and vague that anyone at any time could be diagnosed with a condition for no other reason than to get people on drugs immediately, drugs that tend to be destructive and addictive. Welcome to the War on Drugs.

MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES

MOVIES ABOUT MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES

Here.

MK ULTRA, CIA MIND CONTROL

It started with this. “MK ULTRA Survivor Shares How Her Multiple Personalities Were Used by the Global Elite,” Arjun Walia, April 18, 2018.

Surviving Evil: A CIA Mind Control Experiment in Vermont, Karen Wetmore, 2017.

When people say that mind-controlled assassins don’t exist, refer them to this gal and interview. They used the phrase “on task” for some of the kill altars. Whoa. This is what they use in schools. Are you on task?

Above is a video of ‘Elisa E,’ author of two books, “Our Life Beyond MKULTRA” which comprises book 1 and book 2. In it, she describes her life of trauma-based mind control from birth, what happened, who was involved, and basically answers every question that would pop into your head if you are somewhat skeptical.

Here are articles from Rockwell on MKULTRA.

Twilight language?

Mind control is a real thing. The methods for achieving it are also varied. The guy who knows the techniques, the names, the purposes, and the recovery process is Dr. Colin A. Ross. He’s a good place to start if you want to know this stuff. This was the first presentation I’d ever seen by Dr. Colin A. Ross, and I think it was a good one. His narrative tone is composed. He’s deliberate in his selection of information. It’s good. Here he speaks about CIA mind control.

One of these people is Dr. Colin A. Ross, a psychiatrist who was the president of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation from 1993 to 1994. He’s an internationally renowned clinician, researcher, author and lecturer in the field of dissociation and trauma-related disorders. He is the founder and President of The Colin A. Ross Institute for Psychological Trauma.

Here Dr. Colin A. Ross talks about CIA mind control techniques. I’ve heard them all, seen many, and experienced not a few.

Here Dr. Colin A. Ross talks with Corrina Rachel about Karen Wetmore’s ordeal and fighting back.

So it looks like YouTube dropped the video down the memory hole as per usual, but a recorded video does exist on some remote site here.

Here is Dr. Colin A. Ross reviewing the different personalities of popular celebrities–Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and Mel Gibson, where Ross mentions the movie The Beaver with Jody Foster. I’ve seen trailers but not the film, but apparently, his character cuts off his arm on which he places the beaver puppet. Creepy. Here is the Wikipedia plot summary:

Part of Walter’s personality realizes what he has put his family through and wants to get rid of the beaver to get back together with his family, but the beaver ‘resists’. Walter finally takes the puppet out of his life by cutting off his arm at the elbow with a circular saw. After surgery, he is equipped with a prosthetic hand and is placed in a psychiatric hospital.

Norah reconnects with Porter. She starts reading the speech he wrote, but stops and admits publicly that she did not write it herself. She switches to explaining the value of truth and the trauma caused to her by her brother’s death some years previously. Porter realizes the value of his father and reunites with him at the hospital.

Walter Black becomes himself again and returns to a normal life.

Funny. You just don’t get a sense of that horrific trauma from the trailer, do you?

I liked what he said that multiple personalities are not unusual at all, citing that your neighbor or coworker might be susceptible to it. He completes the interview by citing the International Center for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.

BOOKS BY DR. COLIN A. ROSS

In The Control of Eve, Dr. Ross provides a documented account of the control and exploitation of Chris Sizemore, the real Eve, by her psychiatrist, Dr. Corbett Thigpen. In 1953, Dr. Thigpen had Chris Sizemore sign over her lifetime story rights to him and his colleague, Dr. Hervey Cleckley: the two doctors paid her $3.00 for these rights – one dollar for each of her three personalities. This was all the money she received for the best-selling book The Three Faces of Eve, written by Drs. Thigpen and Cleckley. The Control of Eve is based on extensive background research and documents gathered by Dr. Ross, Chris Sizemore, and Jerry Naylor as they worked together on the book. Thankfully, the first edition of this book (under the title The Rape of Eve) was published before Chris Sizemore passed away on July 24, 2016. The Control of Eve is dedicated to her memory.

PSYCHOPATHS

1. from the New York Post

Psychopaths commit violent crimes because their brains are hard-wired to value short-term rewards, a new study has claimed.

2. Psychopaths & Sociopaths, Joshua Krause, Ready Nutrition, February 18, 2015. This article contains some excellent characterizations for both psychopaths and sociopaths as well as some excellent books to help your investigation into these personalities.

according to an article from Psychology Today, there are some significant differences as well. Sociopaths are more volatile and can lash out unexpectedly. Furthermore, most crimes committed by them will be spontaneous and disorganized.

Psychopaths, on the other hand, are more cunning. Their crimes are well executed and difficult for police to figure out. They excel at mimicking human emotions and tend to have a good education and a steady job. They just fit right in. They’re the sort of people who rise to the top of corporations, governments, and law firms. We probably don’t even how many psychopaths there are in the world, or what they’re really like. They’re simply too elusive to pin down.

Though the author goes to great lengths to distinguish between the two personalities, know that any one person can possess both characteristics in equal or disparate amounts. She may even subject them to some disassociative partition to keep one side intact while cultivating the other.

3. The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success, Kevin Dutton, 2013.
4. Psychopaths in D.C.

Politicians as a class, however, may be another story. In a previous paper, impishly titled “Kissing Babies to Prove You Are Not a Psychopath”—which explored the motivations behind our collective need to witness our leaders displaying empathy—Murphy foreshadowed his findings here, writing that in a system designed to reward the power-hungry, voters are given the unenviable but important responsibility of weeding out the phonies.

NARCISSISTS

I have to say that without much reading on the topic, Narcissists are the least offensive of the pathologies. The main concern is that they can waste your time. They’re so disaffected by time constraints because their personality is all. It is life itself. In fact, without a personality and the pursuit of personal satisfaction of the personality, there is no purpose.

GROUP & CULT DYNAMICS, created on Thursday, November 25, 2021 [Thanksgiving]

Thank you to Dustin Broadbery’s “They Live Among Us: Anatomy of a Cult,” November 24, 2021, found @ LewRockwell.com.

It’s funny because my thought from hearing about the ardent pro-vaccination cult was that they reminded me of so many of those death cults from Asia in the 1980s and 1990s who believed that a flying saucer was coming soon and so they took some poison collectively. This is the Jamestown Massacre of 1979, led by Jim Jones, all over again. Just as they hid information from their parishioners, the government and vaccine manufacturers hid information from Americans as they ran their propaganda campaign on steroids for more than 2 years. Fauci is the new Jim Jones. This was a good article, and these 2 paragraphs underscore the cult mentality:

Not everyone in the Asch Experiment conformed, but the reasons why many found solidarity with the group are well understood by the behavioral scientists, on the payroll of HM government, nudging the British people towards existential ruin.

And much of what is happening today in the rank and file of the New Normal has the lessons of the Third Reich written all over it. If you’re still oblivious to the fact that you’re being indoctrinated into a cult, it’s probably because you’ve already been indoctrinated.

Chase Hughes has mentioned Scott Rouse a few times, and I think that Scott fills one of the slots on the Behavioral Panel.

In this interview, Chase cites the book, Handbook of Hypnotic Suggestions and Metaphors, D. Corydon Hammond, Ph.D., 1990.

The Alter Ego Effect: How the World’s Top Performers Use Secret Identities to Win in Sports, Business, and Life, Todd Herman, 2019.

Persona is permission. A role you play is similar to an alter ego. What happens if the people you work with bombard you with a role, say, a distasteful role. How do you turn that around while others around you fail to?

Confidence that makes people feel small is fake. Genuine confidence is contagious. [25-minute mark] Con man doesn’t trick you, they transfer confidence to you. Genuine confidence comes with the ability to transfer or infect people with confidence.

It’s giving yourself permission to feel confident.

In the end, it’s giving yourself permission to accomplish something that you normally would try or accomplish.

Genuine confidence helps others lower their concerns about the environment.

Suggestibility depends on the hypnotist. The ability to detect what’s going on with your subject allows you to modify them.

47:00. What would happen if I started speaking more clearly in conversation and made better eye contact? What would happen if I started a conversation with a complete stranger? What can you do that’s an inch outside your comfort zone while leaving people better than when you found them? Once you’re in that scenario, ask yourself “What are the actual consequences if I do this?” Look for evidence. That evidence gives you permission for the next inch. What we’re doing us racking up evidence to convince a dog brain that it’s okay to stand up straight and use a confident voice.

People are either hiding suffering or shame. For this reason, it’s hard to believe that any of us are superior to anyone else. He uses the word fake to describe confidence What about it being an effort to override a previous stage of development?

F.A.T.E. Focus. Authority. Tribe. Emotion.

White Coat Syndrome.

Train the brain to borrow from a script. “Oh, this just like college.” He can make his audience more obedient to “the teacher” in a seminar. Can push you further inti that script if “I’m in college” and make you more compliant, or break the script and create a tremendous amount if focus.

In marketing and in intelligence, they call it “a subversion of expectations.”

Give yourself a failure goal each week. Most people fail in the dark. We just don’t hear about it.

Combating Cult Mind Control: The #1 Best-Selling Guide to Protection, Rescue, and Recovery from Destructive Cults, Steven Hassan, 1990. Learned about this book from this article on Doug Scott Kramer.

MOTIVATION

1. Getting ahead of yourself. Discipline is when your mind is in the future. And that’s it. Put the needs of your future self ahead of your own. How would you work, eat, and spend money? Successful people all can prioritize the needs of their future ahead of their own. Would your future self enjoy that party? Would a certain food benefit your future self? Stop thinking about how you’re going to feel today; your future self . . . Will your future self look back at your past behavior with regret or gratitude?
2. Be responsible for your own electricity. Your brain runs on 12 volts of electricity. It’s an electric organism and you get to pick where that electricity goes. The law of Attraction is Responsibility for Your Thoughts. So be clear about what you want to put in your brain’s electrical center. Do you want to have the fear-manufacturing news story so that’s what you’re telling it to look for? Your brain is being told “I’m going to go look for negative things because that’s what they’re [the media or creeps] telling me to look for. Do you honestly want to seek out anger, hatred, failure, and lack? So get responsible for what you put in your brain. That electricity is precious so it’s going to seek out whatever you show it. Whatever you’re focusing in, you can’t talk to your brain. It can only observe what you’re focusing on, so pick those things very carefully. So show your brain what you want, not what you fear.
3. Be responsible for your ingredients. It’s the single thing that makes everything else possible. So to do any of these things well–like thinking positively, focusing on your goals, and waking up early, those things all require something to be in place first. And that is you. The one thing you can’t trade in for store credit, or trade-in when you don’t like it anymore is you. The one machine that does all the things is you. Would you dump a bunch of salt into your car’s gas tank? Absolutely not. So when we think about the machines in our lives, we only give them what makes them run at their very best. We may add premium oil and high-grade gasoline to the engine and nothing else. All the thoughts that you have and all the goals that you set pass through you first. So what you put in this machine matters a lot. So what if you treated your body the same way you treated your car. What would happen if you only put into this machine exactly what it needs to function at its highest level? Everything that you put into this machine matters and it matters forever–for you, for your goals, and for your family. But if the engine is packed full of sand instead of oil, and water instead of gas, what would happen? It might run for a minute but it will stop working. It’s going to stop achieving the goal that you want it to do. The person says I guess U didn’t do what you suggested. I didn’t set goals properly and didn’t focus on your outcome enough–that’s why you’re not successful. But what you put into your machine is what really makes the difference. And whether or not you’re going to get all the outcomes you want this year. The skin on your arm isn’t the same skin you were born with. Your body replaces everything over time. So you get to choose what your body is made of. Like that skin on your arm right now is made up of things that you ate. What you put into your body matters for success more than any coach will ever tell you because that stuff is hard to monetize. Setting goals is wonderful and they’re necessary for success but they’re hard to reach if your brain is running on garbage. There are thousands of programs that promise to deliver these secrets of what to eat. And I’ll sum all if those secrets up in 20 seconds. Stop eating highly processed foods (meaning stop with the fast food), stop foods with high sugar and salt, and fat, and if you don’t recognize an ingredient on the label, don’t eat it. The longer the shelf-life of the food, the worse it is probably for you. Don’t eat foods that are drastically altered from their original form, like apple juice, chicken nuggets, vegetable chips, and potato chips. The less something has been modified from its original form, the healthier it is. Plan your meals this year, and include snacks that come from the earth instead of a factory. Cook rice ahead of time. Prepare for your cravings in advance; put that stuff in the fridge. When you’re traveling, find healthy places to eat ahead of time. Avoid packaged foods in all forms as much as possible. Healthier foods are kind of found around the perimeter of the grocery store. The middle is the packaged stuff. Choose ethically raised animals. And this isn’t just some kind of a protest thing. Not only is it the right thing to do, but those factory-raised animals live horrible lives and those stress chemicals, like cortisol, stay in the animal and in the meat. That’s a fact. Eating well is not about how long you live, it’s about how well you live. You deserve high-quality thoughts and feelings, and the machine that makes them depends on you to get it running at its highest level. You are in charge.
