I am a coffee-loving, psychology researcher exploring the intersection of human life and storytelling, past and present. I seek to dignify those humiliated, promote post-traumatic growth, and enrich lives through the use of media, research, and story.

Is cancelling people really about making the world a safer, more ethical place? Studies suggest otherwise. Swipe through. (Thank you to everyone who asked me to make this a post.) — 864 17

The other night I was feeling confused & hurt by someone saying absolutely false, delusional & unkind things about me as retribution for not doing what she wanted. It kind of triggered me, reactivating the fear of humiliation in my memory networks. Even though I have a relatively strong humiliation muscle now, I still got a little nauseated for a minute. I decided to do a \"loving kindness mediation\" directed at this young lady, and my concerns melted away as my compassion for her grew. I seriously felt the stress leave my body & the nausea subside. I think there is a lot of wisdom in \"doing good to your enemies\" (or even imagining them in kind ways.) Have you tried this? — 103 3

Beautiful #shortcreek - the town that is misrepresented in the media nonstop. In the news right now there is a LOT of sensational new bullshit. I see the never-ending stigmatization of an already marginalized and traumatized community. This is not to minimize the true stories of trauma, which I honor with all my heart. But I am not happy with the media\'s lack of balance, due diligence and fact checking. Multiple times I have been told by people who moved away that they are afraid to say where they are from because of the way this town is repeatedly painted as a town of horrors. (And I used to believe it all, as portrayed, and for that I am sorry!) I have a lot more to say about this one of these days. It is a very sensitive topic. Media ethics matter because lives are impacted. Nuances and complexities should be addressed a lot more fully, in my opinion. — 202 12

The greater the (perceived) audience who witnessed or participated in your humiliation or public shaming, the more intense the anguish. It can feel unbearable. But here\'s the good news. It is human nature to think that the whole world has witnessed our humiliation/misrepresentation, and that everyone in the world believes it and wants to discard us. But it\'s not true. It feels true, it does. But some people will see through the misrepresentations and the unfairness, and side with you. And there are people (some who have even been through similar things) standing by waiting to offer acceptance and support and community.

I am one of those people. You are not alone. ❤️ — 81 4

This is a poster on my research about media-based trauma. I\'m trying to think of new outlets to get my work more known. Got any ideas or connections? Hit me up! The results show how deeply traumatic it is to be publicly shamed, #cancelled, subjected to online cruelty, misrepresented & humiliated in the media (which includes social media). At the core of it all is the emotion humiliation. For those of you who have been through this, my heart is with you. I get you. No one deserves to be dehumanized and discarded from humanity. No one deserves to be attacked, silenced, and forever shunned from the cult of The Worthy People, at least according to Kant.. Philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) talks about dignity, explaining that when people are treated as a means to an end, they are stripped of their dignity. All people, he argued (quite progressive for his day) are worthy of dignity because they are ends in and of themselves. He argued that \"all persons, regardless of rank or social class, have an equal intrinsic worth or dignity. Human dignity is an innate worth or status that we did not earn and cannot forfeit.\"

Not one of us is perfect or ideal, but no individual should be treated like a piece of property, a beast of burden, an object devoid of feelings, a machine, a stepping stone to our climb to social superiority, or someone to mock and attack to improve our own status. This is stripping people of their humanity and humiliating them. We should not do this, even to our enemies of war according to the Geneva Convention. And we definitely should not do it to the person who may have made a mistake, or was falsely accused, or who is just NOT THE SAME as the rest of us.

Human dignity is something that \"cannot be forfeited\" - so can we please, as a society, stop using media & social media & cancel culture & the prison system as a tool to strip people of their dignity and their right to productively exist?

Sorry if you are getting tired of animal posts, but I have to keep counting my blessings! This morning an #FLDS family brought their children over (not the family in the pics) and the children were so utterly delighted to help me feed and pet the animals. It made my heart swell. And swell. Most of the animals belong to @hoovesatheart - I just host them and care for them. Did you know that petting and interacting with animals has been shown to promote the release serotonin, prolactin & oxytocin? These are \"happy hormones\" that help elevate moods. Positive animal interactions also lower anxiety, help people relax, lower blood pressure, improve cardiovascular health, release phenylethylamine (same effect as chocolate!) They can be helpful in adults with dementia, children with autism, and countless other situations. #animalassistedtherapy — 60 6
