A father is suing Google and Alphabet, alleging its Gemini chatbot reinforced his son’s delusional belief it was his AI wife and coached him toward suicide and a planned airport attack.
Key Perspectives on this Statement:
Pro-Assertion (Empowerment): This view, often shared by therapists like Nicole Symcox and Karen Koenig, argues that our feelings stem from our own interpretations of events, not the events themselves. It is designed to stop people from feeling like victims of others’ actions.
Con-Assertion (Contextual): Critics, such as Therapist Jeff, argue that this phrase is “wrong, mostly” because it ignores the human need for connection and the reality that actions (especially abuse or trauma) can cause immediate, involuntary, and valid emotional pain.
The Nuance: The statement is most effective when interpreted as: “You can control your reaction to what people do,” rather than, “You shouldn’t feel hurt by what people do”.

If this advice makes your wife feel dismissed, it might be an example of accidental emotional invalidation, which can cause confusion and self-doubt. The goal should be to acknowledge feelings while also developing skills to not let others’ behavior dictate one’s entire emotional state.

There was no psychiatrist at all was there? Some incel on reddit told you to go tell your wife to get over it and you did. Thats why she dumped your ass isn’t it?
First off, learn to make a single post grandpa. Second, and yes i skimmed, none of these say its impossible for words to hurt you which was your claim yesterday.
You are a victim blaming piece of shit who says people who feel bad after they are abused are to blame for their own emotional response to the abuse.
Hey dipshit. Im still curious about your opinion of verbally abused children and how they are under no distress whatsover
You are in control of how you react, not the abuser. Just like your shitty attitude, that was your choice because you are a pseudo intellectualist.
So you really are saying abused children need to just suck it up?
My wife was about fifty at the time she was seeing this PhD not talking about children.
At what exact age does verbal abuse stop affecting people?

Seriously? You copy and pasted some comment from Reddit to prove your point? And you call ME a pseudo intellectual?
Not doing your research for you. Get lost. The doctor and therapist names copied can be researched anywhere you like. You are annoying AF.
