NEW BREAKTHROUGH THERAPY FOR TOXIC HOPE AND MAGICAL THINKING!!

AMAZING BREAKTHROUGH THERAPY FOR SUFFERERS OF TOXIC HOPE AND MAGICAL THINKING !!

The American Journal of Psychobabble announced last week that there has been a new breakthrough therapy developed that appears to be a CURE for MAGICAL THINKING and TOXIC HOPE!

The numbers of sufferers of Magical Thinking and Toxic Hope are estimated to be in the tens of millions. This disorder affects not only the sufferers, but almost anyone they come into contact with. Those who get near sufferers often will complain of nausea, vomiting, severe headaches & stomach aches and a generalized feeling of homicidal rage.

------------------

The therapy was developed by a layperson; an angry, bitter, pissed off domestic violence victim from the midwest.

After being repeatedly subjected to symptoms related to contact with those suffering from Magical Thinking and Toxic Hope (MTTH), she set out to find a cure.

Experts are touting her breakthrough therapy as 'BRILLIANT' and 'INSPIRED' . In data released today, experts say that her therapy for sufferers of Magical Thinking and Toxic Hope (MTTH) appears to have a cure rate of 100%.

------------

Research Data

Participants in the research were chosen from three online help forums for abused women. Each participant was hand selected by the developer of the therapy, based upon the participant's degree of infection, and levels of sanctimony and contemptuousness.

-----

In test cases,participants were stripped of all worldly possessions, and had all sources of income cut off. The research participants were then parachuted into Appalachia, an area chosen for it's isolation and unforgiving climate .

The participants then had their hands and feet bound, to simulate the feelings of being trapped and unable to break free. Participants were then attacked, chided, and berated relentlessly for one week. They were told they were to blame for the situation they were in, accused of not doing anything to HELP themselves & not trying hard enough, called codependent and told repeatedly that it was all their own fault.

Participants were then fitted with permanently attached headphones through which researchers chanted 'get over it' , 'get on with your life', 'move on', 'stop whining' and 'you're just not trying hard enough'. If the Participants complained even once of unfairness or tried to explain the realities of their situations to ANYONE - they were called 'bitter' and 'angry' and cut off.

Participants were then released into a remote part of Appalachia, famous for being a place where REAL HOPE, let alone TOXIC HOPE, has seldom if ever been seen.

Participants were given a restraining order and a 200 dollar food stamp card and ordered to 'rebuild' their lives from the ground up in the next 30 days.

Partcipants were allowed to chant all the positive affirmations they cared to. They were allowed 12 hours a day of internet access to their HELP AND ADVICE forums, and they were allowed up to 25,000 phone calls a day to Domestic Violence Hotlines and Sherlters, Legal Aid, and various Social Service Agencies.

Participants were routinely denied medical treatment, psychiatric treatment, prescription medications, including access to antidepressants. Partcipants were also denied basic human needs such as shelter, utilities and financial assistance.

When researchers returned to pick up the participants 30 days later, each and every one was pronounced 100% CURED, and 100% DEAD.

Autopsies revealed that all partcipants had succumbed to OVERWHELMING REALITY.

----------

News of the success of this breakthrough therapy brought in a flood of donations from people who had long suffered the effects of being in close proximity to sufferers of Magical Thinking and Toxic Hope (MTTH). The developer has announced that donors were 'overwhelming in their generosity'. The developer also received a 100 million dollar grant from the American Psychiatric Association.

Last week, the developer of this astonishingly simple, yet brilliant theraputic treatment announced 'anyone with a friend or relative suffering from Magical Thinking and Toxic Hope needs to contact our research facility immediately. We now have funds to cover treatment for anyone in need. Thankfully we can now fully HOPE and expect this terrible disorder to eradicated in our lifetime!'

Phone lines were jammed for over 72 hours as calls flooded in, and cell phone providers were overloaded. Airlines were booked to capacity and had to add new flights. Gas shortages and traffic jams were reported across the country, due to friends and family attempting to deliver sufferers directly to the research facility for treatment.

Yesterday it was reported that the developer is almost certain to be nominated for and win the Nobel Peace Prize. When told of this the developer vowed to donate all prize money toward development of a another therapy she has devised which she believes will be the cure for PSYCHOPATHY. We will publish updates to this exciting new research as they become available.

UPDATE:

Due to over 25,000,000 letters and calls to the CBS network from friends and faimly of sufferers of Magical Thinking and Toxic Hope (MTTH); the network announced that next season's SURVIVOR will be SURVIVOR: APPALACHIA . The network announced that they have hired the developer of the therapeutic treatment for Magical Thinking and Toxic Hope to be head creative consultant for next season's show. Auditions for sufferers of Magical Thinking and Toxic Hope are set to begin next Tuesday.

CBS executives say they believe this will be the most watched SURVIVOR ever; they have secured numerous sponsors for the program, and are so confident that this will be a season with ZERO survivors, that they have upped the prize package to 250,000,000 dollars, and a new Toyota Tundra pickup truck.

Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.

A DEADLY SCOURGE THAT AFFECTS WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD

THAT BRANCH UP YOUR ASS ISN'T ATTRACTIVE

That Branch Up Your Ass - It Isn't Attractive

by Korin Mumford

I recently had the misfortune of being exposed to another one of those puke-inducing sentimentality emails - you know, the kind that go on and on about how a Twue Fwiend (tm) will do X, Y, and Z for you, and aren't you glad you said you loved your mother today? This one, however, was a pathetic attempt to salve the egos of a certain type of girl and at the same time reinforce the idea that she's incomplete on her own and must just wait for the man to come along, while continuing to create the ideal of women as prizes for men to compete over.

"Tree of Life"

Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Vomit-inducing crap. So I turned around and sent it back to the sender, along with a list of questions.

So, are you assuming you're one of the apples at the top of the tree or at the bottom?

If you're assuming you're one of the ones at the top...why? What makes you that special?

What criteria does it take for a woman to be considered one of the "rotten apples from the ground"?

Why don't you think you fit that description?

What, exactly, is this email supposed to do?

Okay, so it's a sad try at soothing the bruised egos of girls who can't get a boyfriend, right?

Have you ever wondered WHY those girls can't get a boyfriend?

Have you ever wondered why they're all so desperate to get one, anyway?

What's wrong with being happy with yourself as a whole, individual, independent person?

Why must you base your sense of self-worth on whether or not you have boys after you? You see, if you had your own inherent sense of self-worth and self-esteem, you wouldn't start to wonder "what's wrong with me?" when you're single.

Furthermore, if you're so desperate to be part of an "us" instead of just being an "I", why the hell are you sitting at the top of your tree with a branch up your ass, waiting?

Oddly enough, I haven't heard from her since. I wonder why that is..

CO-DEPENDENCE?

Co-dependence?
The victims of narcissists are relentlessly re-victimized by a rationale for blaming the victim called co-dependence. I am still waiting for some evidence or explanation to persuade me that there is such a thing, so I’m still open to the idea. But, sorry, I haven’t heard a single reason to think that there even is such a thing as co-dependence. So, I am very skeptical.

I’ll share my reasons for that skepticism, not so much to persuade you as to give you reason for pause, some food for thought.

Reason 1
I trust science, including medical science. But not blindly. I know science and have seen enough bad science to have no illusions about the integrity of scientists and doctors. I know that they are just people, as capable of dishonesty as any other people, that they herd, gaining up in groupthink. They mocked Louis Pasteur. They predicted the end of the world by now due to population explosion. They ignored the evidence in favor of a low carbohydrate diet for decades, till it suddenly became the politically correct rage. And now they are pulling the same stunt with their faux science on global warming.

But the rest of science and medical science is squeaky clean compared to psychology.

I have always been amazed at what passes for “science” in psychology. Psychology experiments are notorious for not following scientific method, even to the point of not controlling the variables. True, other doctors sometimes differ in their diagnoses, and we can identify fashion trends in diagnosis. But other doctors are near perfect in the reproducibility of their results compared to psychiatrists. Psychiatrists are notorious for diagnosing the same person differently. They are notorious for covering all bases by “throwing the book” at a patient with a diagnosis of several disorders. And they are notorious for following fashion trends in diagnosis.

Moreover, for obvious reasons, the profession attracts more than its share of narcissists and others manifestly odd and eccentric. In one of the universities I attended, the whole psych department was flaky except for one – yes but one – professor.Sorry, I know it’s taboo to know this truth, but I do. Every profession attracts more than its share of something that doesn’t belong there.

For example, the priesthood and the teaching profession attract more than their share of pedophiles. Police work attracts more than its share of bullies. And so on. So, let’s face it: psychology attracts more than it’s share of fruitcakes.What does this mean? Does it mean that we should doubt everything the established medical authorities say? No. It just means that they aren’t infallible and that, if what they say doesn’t square with logic and observation, you should have a healthy skepticism.

Reason 2. Just because there is such a thing as the martyr complex doesn’t mean that it applies to a relationship with a narcissist. A person with a isn’t martyr complex isn't really abused and doesn’t seek real abuse. He or she likes to imagine themselves abused and portray themselves as abused.There’s a big difference between that and seeking real abuse!

Reason 3. In my own little slice of the world, this is what I have observed and learned from other victims: there is such a thing as the cycle of abuse. It does cause the victim to behave in ways that seem strange to outside observers – as if they are “asking for it.”People’s bad habit of always tending to blame the victim makes everyone jump to the conclusion that this is so = that they are "asking for it." But in the cases I know of, it never was.In fact, the victims of narcissists behave exactly the same way the victims of all torture and brainwashing do, exactly the way all hostages do.

So, strange as it seems, this behavior is the reaction of NORMAL people to abuse. All the tortured cling to the torturer for dear life. All hostages exhibit the Stockholm syndrome. This has been known since at least the Dark Ages. Professional torturers (executioners) and the Inquisition understood this phenomenon and deliberately exploited it to make their victims betray themselves to abuse.

Why do normal people do this under duress? It’s because you’re taking right-side-up people and putting them in a pervert’s upside-down world. You’re taking people acting on normal human premises and having those reactions play right into pervert’s perverted premises.The abuser always makes the victim totally dependant on him before he starts abusing. So, what is the victim going to do? She has no choice but to try to soften a stone-cold heart. This is nothing but appeasement. The helpless have no other option.

We see this happening on a massive scale today in the bizarre efforts to appease the abuses of Islamofascist mobs and terrorists the world over. “Don’t make them mad! Don’t think badly of them for what they do. Apologize for making them abuse us by making them mad at us. Blame ourselves for everything they do to us. Bend over for it with a smile. Suck up. Then maybe they will soften and like us and stop abusing us.”

Pass me the puke bucket, please.The West has no excuse for such cowardly appeasement, because the West isn’t helpless. The western nations are just too unwilling to stop squabbling among themselves, get real, and unite against a common enemy (a problem the West has had since the Fall of the Roman Empire).

But the victims of narcissists often ARE helpless.And even when they aren’t, when they can and do try to fight back, some holier-than-thou comes along and says it’s a sin. Then then whole world gangs up and jumps on the victim’s back saying, “Yes, stop it. Stop fighting because that’s a sin.”Who has a strong enough backbone to stand up to that? This merciless suppression of any effort at self defense breaks the victim’s back. holier-Then these same holier- than-thous turn around and say, “See? She just takes it. So, she likes it. She’s asking for it.”

Perhaps THEY are the ones who need their heads examined, not the victim they thus play Catch-22 with. I see no self-masochism in this victim, do you? I just see a normal human being in Catch-22.What is Catch-22? It’s the English translation of the Italian phrase for the 22nd "malbowge" ("evil pouch/pocket") of Nether Hell in Dante's Inferno. That's the lowest pit of hell, the place where the treacherous, the traitors, get to experience their sin on the receiving end. It’s where Dante put Judas priests, the likes of people who invite a family to dinner and then lock them in a tower to starve to death, as well as Julius Caesar’s “friend” Brutus and Judas Iscariot.

As I’ve said in other posts, the victim WILL feel shame for bending over for it, to the extent that he or she failed to resist as much as possible. And, as I’ve said, this is why the victim must never be condemned for fighting back.But, come on, knuckling under to abuse isn’t the same thing as liking it and wanting it. Normal people may knuckle under. But only sick-in-the-head people could like it and ask for it. So, my hunch is that cases of co-dependence in narcissism are either rare or never occur.

People ASSUME that the victim wants abuse in their IGNORANCE of the real and understandable reasons why the victim doesn’t fight back or run away.
