I teach psychology and sociology at a community college in the eastern part of the United States. In my off time, I love hiking in the mountains all around the world. I hope my videos can be of help in understanding concepts and theories in both psychology and sociology.
"Cooley said our sense of Self comes from how we think other people see us. “I am not what I think I am. I am not what you think I am; I am what I think you think I am.” Other people's reflections of us and how we think about those images they have of us help create our sense of Self." Problem is that psychology, especially CBT and DSM in particular - are telling to the socially anxious and to anyone being traumatized by neglect, invalidation and any kind of coercive control such as chronic verbal abuse - that if we think who we are as reflection to someone's criticism - that if we process reality in such manner - that we are mentally ill. That we have disorder. That we have cognitive distortions which must be cured with brutal self examination, self scrutiny all the time, and termination of our so called distorted thoughts. This way CBT is completely ignoring sociology - and sets masses of people with wrong ideology that is designed for group think, conformity and herd mentality purposes - to control the masses.
