“Laziness,” is a judgmental social construct.
Let’s consider some reasons people may not be engaging in the ways others deem important:
*Unmotivated
*Depressed
*Have different priorities
*Issues w/ exec functioning
*Medical problems
*Grieving
*Disabled
*Disinterested
Lately I’m grieving
•Pre-pandemic days
•Pre-political nightmare days
•Days of being younger and more energetic
•Loved ones no longer on this earth
•Simpler times before so much technology (esp AI)
•Times of feeling more hopeful
Man professionalism has been bullshit from the start and it’s actually amusing how people don’t see how things like this are utterly made up to keep people poor and oppressed.
Classic: HALT
Am I …hungry, angry, lonely, tired
2025: BIOFFED
Am I … bored, isolated, outraged, functionally frozen, existential, depressed

PEOPLE DIE. People are unable to eat. People are unable to get medical care. People cannot get the things that all humans need to survive
It’s why they are called HUMAN RIGHTS
To all my fellow therapists who have been holding space for clients during this incredibly challenging week, I want you to know that I see you and truly appreciate you. Your dedication is making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Thank you for all that you do.
Help requested!
I’m putting together a list of “Books yt people need to read”
There is one rule: NO YT AUTHORS! I want a list of only Black & POC authors!
Thank you in advance for your help!
Therapists DO NOT document in your charts about patients transitioning. It is important to be neutral “patient experienced significant distress to receiving medical care.” 🏳️⚧️
