Denialism Profits Anxiety

Posted on 22nd March, 2019

 

 

 

Part of the psychology involved here is the connection between these changes and anxiety. There's no getting around the fact that change brings anxiety, as well as opportunity. It's just that sometimes there's too much anxiety, too much fear. For some the anxiety then blinds them to the opportunities that also come with change and difference. And anxiety dominates when someone can’t find identity, community, and purpose. So, when change happens, as it does now constantly, too many feel they have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Dominated by anxiety and fear, people will do whatever they can, no matter how destructive, to quell the anxiety, even finding identity, community, and purpose by becoming a white nationalist terrorist. That’s a tragic lesson from Norway, Charleston, Charlottesville, Pittsburgh, and now the horror of the Christchuch massacre. It’s the rage of white men trying to squash change with violence.  Forbes

In a sixteen-week study of the treatment of moderate to severe depression, antidepressants were compared to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT; DeRubeis et al., 2005; Hollon et al., 2005). After sixteen weeks, 57.5 percent of the people treated with medicine had a good effect compared to 58.3 percent of those treated with therapy. In this study, therapy was just as good as medicine after four months.

The researchers went a step further. After the four months of treatment, they stopped treatment with both medicine and therapy. Then they went back one year later to see how the subjects were doing. Of those who had taken medicine, 76 percent had relapsed into clinical depression at the one-year mark. Of those who had received psychotherapy, only 31 percent relapsed (Hollon et al., 2005). The psychotherapy group did more than twice as well as the medicine group, showing that therapy had a lasting effect while medicine did not.   Source

Ah good! This is the main purpose - to draw a contrast , that by facing issues in Truth , rather than denial and acknowledging results the EHS system works. And, over 100 years of psychotherapy in the west has created a spiral of Denialism.

2.BTW, did youi receive an update to inform you of an update to your comment or you randomly checked?

3. It is perhaps a good place to practice and affirm our EHS points of view on content before further out-reach on soc. media .

I did get that point.
The only thing is that to me it felt like the typical western "planting the seeds" type of talk. (So, yes, this talk qualifies for whatever you mentioned in your comment)
(For eg: the guy from the USA university was just absurd...)

Their main emphasis is ' not to succeed is failure' ... and going from there to ' care' instead of healing! We live in such a time today that ' results' or healing are not even the AIM any more! Instead, REALITY , and EVIDENCE is completely denied . They refer to ' rationalising the evidence' ( the Optimism Bias ) , so western thought has so been damaged women chop off their breasts , and ovaries, just from the denying of REALITY that they DO NOT even have cancer!

Awareness & Ignorance
Acceptance & Deniel.


Without Awareness there is No acceptance or deniel. Optimism and pessimism are environment driven behaviours.
So this talk is confusing (to me) as they aren't really drawing a proper contrast
