Infidelity, Kirk Triggers, and Wrong ChatGPT

[@mananana1911]

My husband said his longest shift as a physician was 72 hours. I don’t see how that’s even remotely safe for the patient. Hopefully it has gotten better.

Yes, I've been here long enough to get the inside jokes 🥳. Thank you for complementing us healthcare workers ❤️. You certainly have accomplished implementing your mission statement, which is so great and important. Thank you!

I tell my clients often to pat themselves on their back when they make progress towards their goals, and when they do their entire demeanor often changes. It’s so beautiful to see them take that in and to celebrate themselves. I don’t know if anyone has ever told me to do that for myself, until now. I just gave myself a “Big Ass ” pat on the back and it felt great 😁!!!! Thank you soo much, I really really needed that today. Sincerely just thank you!

The flaw shame is so interesting Dr Kirk- I wonder how you respond to the audience when you perform in a musical setting? Does your flaw shame have anything to do with social anxiety?

[@PsychologyInSeattle]

Yes, absolutely. My anxiety is partly due to flaw shame, for sure.

I had no idea the algorithm shared my other content. Please Dr. Kirk, don't make fun of me for my new age content guilty pleasures.😅 As for the "codependent" discussion" i just get more confused. I am aware it comes from enabling addiction but to my understanding there is a movement to expand the definition like with enabling personality disorders. Likewise with "complex PTSD." That being said I dont really get how dependency would fit better? To my understanding people with dependant personality disorder are dependent across all context of their lives in a very debilitating fashion in that they are unable to make choices for themselves. This is not how I would describe an overfunctioner or someone who has an unhealthy attachment to caring for someone else. So I guess when I conceptualize co-dependent, I tend to agree with the mainstream movement.

Lol I actually asked about you on chat GPT a while back and was going to send you the response but for whatever reason didn't. Should've known you'd get to it yourself!

I called you wholesome when you stopped in the middle of a sentence during a previous video to say you were distracted by a bunny outside. Not in response to your commentary. Perhaps the better word is endearing. That said, I looked up the definition of wholesome because I was curious: (a) having or suggesting good health, behavior, and morals; (b) arousing pleasant and usually sentimental feelings. You sure you aren't wholesome? Merriam-Webster seems to suggest otherwise based on their definition. I don't think effectiveness and wholesomeness are mutually exclusive, do you?

[@PsychologyInSeattle]

Yeah, totally! I'm very flattered with being called wholesome, but I worry that people will think that compassion requires wholesomeness instead of understanding.

Women are better mothers? No, women are the only mothers! But they are not generally better parents or primary care takers, with that I agree!
