Schauer Thoughts

Howdy y’all! This week we’re starting to build some self-trust and next week we’ll be establishing trust with others. Like always, we will be taking the long way around the subject, going full third person, but that is necessary to survey the land (self) we are working on. Hopefully a little outdoor Schauer will loosen up the soil and make your excavating a bit easier.  Resources: Humanities Blast Courses  https://krieger.jhu.edu/humanities-institute/programs/humanities-blast-courses/ Self-Trust and How to Build It https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/stronger-the-broken-places/201909/self-trust-and-how-build-it How to Find Free or Affordable Therapy https://therapist.com/resources/free-affordable-therapy/ Includes: therapy w/ or w/o insurance, employee assistance programs, student wellness programs, organizations for marginalized groups & more Life In Three Dimensions - Shigehiro Oishi, PhD Learn more about your ad choices.

I told y’all that we were keeping it moving! This week we’re going over how the brain indexes abstract thought, how emotions are expressed across cultures, and the self-fulfilling prophecy of gender. Please excuse the tangents this week, Rite Aid closed and I am without Vyvanse. That being said, very happy to have you in this week’s communal Schauer!

Well you heard it here folks, we’re decentering gender this week in the communal shower. What does it mean to decenter? What is gender? Are pronouns “real?” Sit back, relax, and enjoy the musings of a single, 30 year old, childless lesbian.
