Psychology

[close] Hi, We are two mental health therapists who wanted to start a book club so that we can have a space and place to help people work through the themes we see in the therapy office. Although it is not free therapy, it is close. We chose Sovereign Love as our first read because it is easily one of the best relationship books we've read (ever), and is applicable whether you are in relationship or not. All relationships begin and end with your relationship to yourself and this book is a beautiful invitation for remembering and reclaiming capital S Self and digging into masculine and feminine energy (anima and animus) in a way that really lands — made even more impactful and more fun in the container of community. This group is for those who are curious about the stories they’ve been living in relationship of all kinds, and are ready to understand how masculine and feminine energetics have shaped their relationship polarity and their experience of Self. It’s for people who sense that intimacy is not about losing yourself in another, but about learning to stand firmly in who you are while staying open to connection. We will move from longing and projection into self-trust and responsibility, to see that the quality of our relationships begins with the relationship we have with ourselves.

[close] This group will talk about books highlighting strengths, the best of humanity, novels that ultimately demonstrate human goodness.

[close] Get away from the mediocre writing crowd. Discuss topics that are relevant to an author who aspires to be a significant, impactful voice.

[close] A space for thoughtful discussion on theology and beyond: meaning, morality, and the depths to understanding human life. This group welcomes diverse traditions, philosophical inquiry, and reflective dialogue about sacred texts, inner life, ethical questions, and the role of religion in the modern world. The goal is not preaching or debate for victory, but understanding, exploration, and respectful exchange of ideas. Remember that respect comes first. Disagree with ideas, not with people. No insults, ridicule, or hostility toward beliefs or non-belief. Feel free to share perspectives, interpretations, and experiences, but this is a discussion space, not a place to persuade others to adopt a faith, so basically no preaching or conversion attempts. Stay thoughtful and on topic, posts should relate to theology, meaning, morality, sacred texts, literature, psychology of belief, or religion in society. Interpretations are welcome, claims of absolute authority are not. All comments and conversations must be in English. Don’t hesitate to open a topic under any theme that has already been featured. If you’re unsure where your topic belongs, you’re welcome to ask in the Open Discussion under the thread titled Topic Creation. And don't forget that we also have a Cafetaria for casual conversation or introductions in the Open Discussion section.
