Recent L.A. Riots: Parallel Historical Lens

To understand why violent events occur, it is important to evaluate occurrences historically and, to utilize case precedence, as judges would, in order to determine a ruling. (Think ABCs of the empirical cognitive behavioral theory REBT: antecedent, behavior, and consequences.)

In this writing, a phenomenology design was utilized, and a method of triangulation was applied. This research method is used to answer specific applicable research questions such as: What caused the most recent L.A. riots, how does it relate to the Rodney King riot, what role does race play in triggering riots, and how are riots a common milieu tactic, and how is the recent January 6 event related, and lastly, how does the body react to traumatic events and for how long?

There are two significant events, examined herein as themes, that occurred in Los Angeles, It is not known if these events occurred as retribution to rulings. Not too distant rulings of Capital devastation is not considered, herein, in this analysis. 

Using a historical lens, reflect upon the first single historical event (again, as a theme) of looting and general mayhem that occurred in Los Angeles, Cailfornia in April and May 1992. The second event, considered herein as a theme, is Saturday night's destruction in L.A. which devastated police cars, trains, and busses.

One does not need to work for rocket mortgage or be a rocket scientist to figure this one out, but it is easy to determine how public is preyed upon and used, potentially as a tool for malfeasance motive, during times of mindful manipulation given HP Axis dysregulations and that of Central Nervous System (CNS) neurotransmitters.

Border Crimes & Border State Theft

Image
These issues should not constitute “shock and awe” and if they do, maybe a wakeup call is in order. These unfortunate supportive themes are based on facts and evidence as exemplified by the empirical nature of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and its complementary Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). Cutting straight to the point: in personal psychological alignment with our border Czar Tom Homan, I’d like to additionally call out observed ethnographic border state facts: A) BLS jobs could be going to alleged illegals with new names from stolen U.S. identities B) Observed behavior of suspect individuals via ontological studies supporting hypothesis C) Change is only going to occur by exposing the ‘dependent’ leaders who are receiving financial beneficence – for example bribes. What has been evidenced is a lack of jobs in border states due to suspected inflated Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) numbers, and observed consumption of available jobs by aliens, who perhaps assum...

A New Fix: ABCs of REBT & Gestalt Therapy

Image
  (Photo Credit: Fritz Perls) Albert Ellis developed a therapeutic treatment called Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) in the 1950s. REBT is an extension of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) developed by Aaron Beck in the 1960s. These therapeutic modalities are useful in coping with a host of hurt locker challenges from chronic pain, to death, to observing death (such as with military Veterans and police), eating disorders, overcoming violence, grieving loss of a spouse/partner, etc. The Department of Veterans Affairs utilizes these treatment modalities to improve focus, as restructuring negative thought patterns and behaviors, typically for eight weeks.  These treatments are widely used to reframe how individuals feel and think about situations in the current context.  My personal favorite is the ABCs of REBT and I've attached a link to a REBT worksheet below. The ABCs are as follows: A=Event, B=Behavior, C=Outcomes.  Let's use a rhetorical analogy with REB...

Pts Attempts Toward Therapist Victimization

Image
As a former therapist who treated patients of most of the attorneys in a Southwestern state in the United States, it is commonplace for individuals, particularly those who lose a lawsuit in which they were involved, to stalk 1) not only their attorney but 2) their therapist(s) and others involved treating an alleged victim. It can become dangerous if an alleged victim does not win his/her lawsuit and can become the antecedent for conduct disorder against anyone involved with him/her not winning a lawsuit or "network". There can be, bnt is not always, issues of blame that insight conduct disorder. Reaching out to the FBI and local authorities regarding this issue has been commonplace, but never before did it involve ID'ing an individual. What follows is empirical data bolstering this issue. 'Violence toward mental health staff has been receiving national attention in the face of diminishing resources to treat what appears to be an increasingly violent patient populatio...
