The Experience of PTSD, an Interactive Text
Howling Dogs
"One of the most prominent and critically acclaimed Twine games has been Howling Dogs, a haunting meditation about trauma and escapism produced in 2012 by a woman named Porpentine .... "When you have trauma, Porpentine says, "everything shrinks to this little dark room." While the immersive glow of a digital screen can offer a temporary balm, "you can't stay stuck on the things that help you deal with trauma when it's happening. You have to move on. You have to leave the dark room, or you'll stay stunted."
— excerpt from The New York Times Magazine, November 23, 2014, p46.
(Important: This game is not therapy. It may be triggering, and should not be played by someone who is currently acutely depressed or anxious.)

The Experience of Trauma, an Interactive Text
Player 2
This interactive text, written by Lydia Neon, asks readers to describe a painful, unresolved experience in his/her own life and tries to provide a form of catharsis uniquely tailored to one's own experiences. The interactive text will ask you to enter the name of the person who caused the unresolved experience, "because that's the real second player in the game: the person who hurt you."  The game encourages you to understand that this other person is just Player 2 now, and "you have the controller, not them."
— excerpt from The New York Times Magazine, November 23, 2014, p48.
(Important: This game is not therapy. It may be triggering, and should not be played by someone who is currently acutely depressed or anxious.)

Victim-Blaming, an Interactive Text
Happiness Simulator
This interactive text, written by Porpentine, explores the demoralizing experience of having been a victim of abuse/rape/assault in a culture that systematically blames the victim. The first screen is randomized.

“WeCroak is the anti-app. Social-media platforms seduce by providing a distraction from the tedium of everyday life—the awkward silences, boring waits in line, and unpleasant thoughts, chief among them the fact that we, and everyone we love, will kick the bucket. WeCroak makes escapism feel futile: We’re all going to die. The phone buzzes for thee.” —Bianca Bosker

On Being Angry with a Parent
”One of the more shocking and difficult emotions one may feel towards one’s parents is anger. … Might there be a way of clearing the atmosphere? … [M]ight we not – for once – try to speak the awkward truth to them?”

What to Say in Response to an Affair
”Seldom do people feel as certain that they know what’s going on in another’s head as when they discover that their partner has had an affair. ... What torments the betrayed partner is not so much what happened as what they think it means. The priority is to put forward a different perspective.”

O T H E R   R E S O U R C E S
The purported anti-homosexual content of the Judeo-Christian Bible has often been used to justify discrimination and demonization of the GLBT community. The following information provides more insight into exactly what the Bible says about homosexuality.

Homosexuality: Just what does the Bible say?
Strictly speaking, the Bible says nothing about homosexuality.  The term, 'homosexuality', belongs to our modern vocabulary and within modern concepts of the origins and formation of human sexuality.  The original Biblical languages contain no words for "sexuality", "heterosexuality" or "homosexuality".   Until the modern period, no distinctions between "homosexual' and 'heterosexual' sexuality were made. 

That is not to say that same-sex practices were unknown to the biblical writers.  Comments on same-sex practices occur in three places within the bible, Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; (proscriptions in the Holiness Code) and Romans 1:24-27 (Paul's stinging rebuke of Gentile society).  Such comments are within the context of the ancient, patriarchal understandings and customs through which they were interpreted and are never the topic of sustained discussion. 

In some places, reference to homoeroticsm or to same-sex practices has been inferred or added during the process of translation into Latin or into English, as is shown to be the case in Genesis 19:4-11 (the Lot and Sodom story), Judges 19 (the story of the Levite and his wife), 1 Corinthians 6:9 (Paul's reprobate list) and 1 Timothy 1:10(a modified, Pauline reprobate list).  Sometimes reference is made to texts in Genesis, Deuteronomy, Ezekiel , 1 Kings and Jude, with respect to homosexuality, all of which are spurious interpretations.

• Witness to the Fire: Creativity and the Veil of Addiction by Linda Schierse Leonard

In Witness to the Fire, Linda Schierse Leonard, Ph.D., explores the dark and fiery journey of transformation from the bondage of addiction to the freedom of recovery through creativity. A Jungian analyst, Leonard studies the relationship of creativity and addiction in the lives of writers such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, Eugene O'Neill, Jean Rhys, and Jack London, as well as the experiences of ordinary men and women. Leonard holds out the hope that anyone bound by addiction can reclaim the power that fuels dependency for a life of joy and creativity.

"... the bottom line is that patients want to and need to be listened to. They want a therapist who can listen to them in depth. …. That is what psychoanalysis is. That is what we offer:

We listen to people in depth, over an extended period of time and with great intensity. We listen to what they say and to what they don’t say; to what they say in words and to what they say through their bodies and enactments. And we listen to them by listening to ourselves, to our minds, our reveries, and our own bodily reactions. We listen to their life stories and to the story that they live with us in the room; their past, their present, and future. We listen to what they already know or can see about themselves, and we listen to what they can’t see in themselves. We listen to ourselves listening. Psychoanalysis is a depth psychology, which means that we listen in depth and teach our students to listen.

Whatever managed care says, and whatever drugs are prescribed, and whatever the research findings, people still want to be listened to in depth and always will. That’s why there will always be patients who want and need an analytic approach and why there will always be therapists who need to learn it."
