Irvin Yalom asked the members of hundreds (or thousands) of #psychotherapy groups to write down their worst secret fear. He said that these fears could almost always be classified as one of two things:

  • Fear of being unlovable or unable to love fully
  • Fear of not contributing sufficiently to the world around you

He was initially trained as a Freudian1 psychoanalyst, so he called these fears
"Lieben und Arbeiten".

I sometimes think of this as I go through my life: everyone I meet or see, no matter how they present themselves, is probably struggling with (1) a feeling that they are not lovable or they don't know how to love others, and (2) a feeling that they have failed to make a difference in the world around them.

This makes me feel closer to people, even people I don't want to feel close to.

1 Freud was a shitty scientist and his theories were generally very bad. He was, however, an astute observer of human behavior and maybe an okay half-assed philosopher.

🤔 Ah, the age-old question: Will AI replace us or just make us glorified Roomba supervisors? 🤖 Spoiler: This article manages to turn existential dread into a bizarre Elixir community group therapy session, complete with 🐑 electric sheep dreams and veiled hopes for #LLMs to fail spectacularly. 😅

🧿✨ HOW ARE YOU ARRIVING TO THE PARTY? ✨🧿
Before the bass drops and bodies blur, we’re holding space to arrive with intention.
We’re inviting you to join an Intention Circle ahead of the book launch & party.

What’s an Intention Circle?
It’s a soft, grounding moment to check in with yourself—and others.

💭 How are you showing up tonight?
💫 What do you want to give, receive, protect, or release?
🌱 How can we care for ourselves and each other—even after the music stops?
Whether you speak, sit in silence, or share the air, the space is yours. No pressure, just presence. This is how we move from strangers to community.

🌀 Facilitated by our gentle rave guru Simen Sorthe
🕰️ 22:00–22:55 (doors open 21:45)
🔗 Sign up here: https://forms.gle/4Z8DNW9nXE4Skg7n7

#IntentionCircle #GroupTherapy #RavingBookLaunch #QueerJoy #RaveWithCare #ChosenFamily

PS: Following McKenzie Wark’s lead, whose Danish book launch we’re celebrating, we especially invite all our trans-, non-binary and POC ravers to participate. Everyone is welcome to the intention circle but we would love to see as many of you as possible (and will prioritise you if we reach capacity).
Registration for Intention Circle - Group Therapy 24. May 2025

Thank you so much for wanting to join our Intention Circle! <3 It will be facilitated by our friend and GT regular Simen Sorthe.

Just wrapped up Residency II in my counseling program, and it was a week filled with learning, connection, and meaningful growth. From co-facilitating group sessions to strengthening relationships within my cohort, the experience made a lasting impact. I reflected on it all in my latest blog post.

What Residency II Taught Me About Counseling and Community

This was not part of the official schedule, and it was clear she was doing it simply because she cared. What followed was one of the most memorable experiences of the week. As I watched her work, I…

Group Therapy claims to discuss “the intersection of comedy and mental health.” Comedy? What comedy? Mental health, or rather, the lack thereof, is not funny — but then neither are the so-called comedians who appear in this documentary.

Seuraavaksi jokaviikkoinen EDM-annos setämiehelle #uuh. Olen varmaan jo 15 vuoden ajan kuunnellut tuota viikottaista #grouptherapy -striimiä. Tai no eri nimelläkin toi on aiemmin ollut mutta sama porukka sitä pyörittää.

Tuossa #aboveandbeyond :ssa on muuten myös suomalainen Paavo Siljamäki.
