Interesting in this context is completely divorced from morally good/bad. Could be any group from any area at any time in history. I’ll start with a few, followers of the cult of pythagoras, contemporary black Hebrew Israelites, antiracist skinheads and the Amish (neo-luddites in general). Don’t be racist or a prick to other people discussing.
As a psych nurse stealing thoughts is a symptom I’ve always struggled to comprehend. It happens at the right frequency that I’m sure it’s real (often enough in different people, but not often enough that they would have met to copy each other). But it’s also such a bizarre concept that I can’t imagine perceiving it happen. I can picture being so scared you think you’re being watched all the time and plotted against, and I can imagine seeing, hearing, or even feeling and smelling things that aren’t there. But thought stealing has to be a completely surreal sensation that I am entirely unfamiliar with.
What do you mean “stealing”? I have never heard this before.
Patients say the government, their ex, etc are “stealing their thoughts.” Idk if it’s a disorganized way of saying they’re reading their thoughts. I do know thought blocking is a thing so maybe they’re attributing that to the process of having their mind read? Idk but thought withdrawal is a common enough delusion that it’s an option on some assessment forms. Idk either man the mere concept of the sensation is almost entirely alien to me as well.
Again, I have never heard those terms and I have a psych degree. Where did you hear that? It’s not established lingo afaik…
It’s ok like half the techs I’ve worked with have bachelor’s in Psych and still barely know what schizophrenia is. The academic degree apparently translates very poorly to clinical work. I’ve got a fucking associates but apparently nursing school is just way more rigorous for less years.
