:rose::rose::heartbeat: {{{{ Katiedid2 }}}} I 'm so sorry.
Um... I just tuned in after a break - and apparently this expert has yet to focus specifically on this defendant?
Ah. I get it. This expert is (in part) supposed to be therapeutic towards... yeah... right.
It could work - she's good. But it's weird. I'm on guard. She's not my therapist and I am not comfortable psych speech that isn't genuine (unless it's to educate). I grew up among the knees of Mead, LeShan, Dad... ALV hasn't provided anything meaningful yet. (I know - being a little kid when grown-ups talk means nothing. Touche).
That's a pretty horrific thing to do, if that is what Jodi's family and supporters did. Frankly I don't understand why Jodi's family or supporters would throw vitriol at Travis' family. No matter what her family should have sympathy for what his family is going through. After all no matter the circumstances they lost a brother, and in the most horrific manner possible. Even if you love and support Jodi I can't understand trying to taunt his family in Court because they refuse to take off the ribbons that remind them of their brother. Her family can still see and talk to Jodi, TA's no longer has that luxury.
Is even her mother wearing one? or no?
That's part of getting a Masters Degree.Oh I meant Ms. Laviolette's therapeutic approaches. It sounds like she has just read some studies and made some conclusions and ran with it.
Jodi had complete power over Travis through the "I'll tell the bishop, and you'll lose your temple recommend, the public humiliation will damage your precious career, and none of the nice Mormon, wife-material girls you're running after will have anything to do with you" card. It sounds like she played the card in May, or perhaps he was finally driven to play it himself, and her power vanished...until 6-4.
I didn't know that, I just had two small grandchildren diagnosed with epilepsy. And just got a call from my daughter, My granddaughter is on life support. The dr's are giving her 20% survival.
Reading here to keep my mind busy.
BBMI'll just bide my time, and see what you all think of her after she trashes Travis. Why on earth do you think the DT was willing to shell out so many dollars if she wouldn't help their case. Don't be naïve you guys.
If this woman is as good in her field as some seem to think, she would be able to see through Arias' lies in a heartbeat. She would not be testifying AGAINST Travis.
which is why I can't listen today. This is not like medical science where tumor precursors can be shown and measured. This is, IMO, what often happens when someone has a "cause" they devote their life to and turn it into a profession. They see "it" everywhere. They can't help it. And everything confirms their beliefs. And because it involves people and behavior it can encompass basically anything so that anything an "abuser" does is indicative of being an abuser. When you fail to truly study an issue you only get part of the picture. As Alyce herself says:
What I say is how much research has been devoted to women as abusers instead of the abused? How much support do men have to come forward and claim abuse? How much research has been done to show what women who abuse are like?
You can't know what you don't investigate.
And this is NOT to demean abused women or those who help them. I have done volunteer work with them myself. It's just that even I know that women can be just as bad as men. Just as abusive and controlling-I just think they often use different methods, methods which seem to be ignored in favor of limiting analysis to what men who abuse do. All of this is just IMO!
Has that been confirmed? Do we know why they have ribbons on in court today? It could be for DV and it could be for Epilepsy. I tend to believe it's a stunt and they are wearing purple for DV. :furious: Since the Alexander family did not take off their ribbons, the A family is just being spiteful. JMO
Victim and offender families often have empathy for one another.I couldn't see if the mother was wearing one because her hair is in the way. I will try to get a screen cap once it is loaded on youtube.
Mine barks in my face until I let him out, or if I'm late for feeding, or he's tired of being at the dog park, if he wants a treat.....he's a rescue greyhound and I managed to turn him into a spoiled brat in less than 6 monthsas it should be!
