I've posted it a couple times in various states of completeness and idk that it's really done now but... I distilled my 300 hours of therapy into an educational course you can just download / follow along with at your own pace. It's kind of like a free "class" on coping skills. Let me know what you think! It's in two formats, one you can open as an html in your browser, and one you can open as an editable notebook / vault in obsidian that you can type your own notes into. The biggest thing I've done in these last few iterations is drop the reading level. I have a tendency to ramble / stream of consciousness things so I tried to make it a little more digestible. Hope it helps somebody, and let me know what you think!

450mb? Does it contain a lot of pictures/videos?

Thanks for sharing

A couple. I had thought about making sure there was a video for every skill but I didn't get that far. I definitely wanted to include "inner fucking peace" under mindfulness.

Although I'm thinking about making a separate account and making a read-only sublemmy with all of it. I'd have to pick an instance though. Maybe .sh but maybe something different idk. I'm wondering if the US is just going to cut off internet access at some point and I won't be able to get on .sh anymore. Although at that point they might try getting rid of lemmy altogether anyway.
