I've never really been fond of the attempts to describe human behavior in my profession. I just read a headline citing someone showing signs of narcissistic collapse. I thought about that, and what you see is a tantrum, the kind of tantrum ("acting out") when truth and accountability don't give sway to the personal fairy tales anymore. The u-know-what has hit the u-know-what.
The AI overview did cite Dr. Ramani's video's and she certainly has done her homework on the subject of narcissistic personality disorder.

(AI overview) "A narcissistic collapse is a sudden, intense emotional crisis occurring when a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) can no longer maintain their grandiose, superior, or false persona. Triggered by failures, public humiliation, or loss of admiration ("supply"), it manifests as rage, deep depression, or intense anxiety."

A little zen. It’s especially important to look to things, steady, reliable and completely unconcerned when human folly is making disarray. Take time to enjoy, create, play

Next up! Preparing and playing music has been an excellent counterbalance for me in terms of the political climate. It can also work for those enjoying in the audience. If not this concert, find some creative endeavor to witness and remember the good stuff going on.

Energy healing invites us to look more closely at something many of us take for granted: how information moves between thought, intention, and the physical body.

In this thoughtful ACEP blog, “How Energy Healing Works: Moving Between the Subtle and Physical Worlds,” Lori Chortkoff Hops, PhD, DCEP explores how energy healing and energy psychology bridge these realms—drawing on examples from tapping-based methods and intention-based practices.

This piece offers a thoughtful reflection on how subtle information, intention, and the body interact in healing work—and why these ideas continue to matter for practitioners and learners alike.
