That he did. He played everything from goofball comedy to dark villain.

I got a call today that a life long family friend died of Covid in a nursing home today at the ripe old age of 90. He was career Air Force, (worked in finance) and he was a hell of a piano player. He had two beautiful daughters and 3 grandkids. After he retired he spent the rest of his working life playing music and tuning pianos.

RIP Larry :cry:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/202 ... s-aged-100
Dr Aaron Beck, the father of cognitive behavioural therapy, dies aged 100
Beck’s work revolutionised the diagnosis and treatment of depression and other psychological disorders and continues to have a resounding influence


Beck developed the field of cognitive behavioural therapy, a clinical form of psychotherapy, at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1960s. It prompts patients to focus on distortions in their day-to-day thinking, rather than on conflicts buried in childhood.

He developed the treatment after finding that his depressed patients frequently experienced distorted negative ideas – he dubbed them “automatic thoughts”.

Unlike Freudian psychoanalysis, which delves into a patient’s childhood and searches for hidden internal conflicts, cognitive therapy says turning around a self-disparaging inner monologue is key to alleviating many psychological problems.

He touted the idea with an anti-Freudian maxim: “There’s more to the surface than meets the eye.”

Beck discovered that patients who learn to recognise the faulty logic of their negative automatic thoughts – such as, “I’ll always be a failure” or “no one likes me” – could learn to overcome their fears and think more rationally, which diminished their anxiety and improved their mood. He found that results endured long after therapy was finished, as patients learned to confront those thoughts on their own.
I thank this man for his work and for how CBT has helped so many members of my family.

I know it helped me. My inner monologue was... astonishingly brutal. Still can be sometimes, but I've learned mechanisms to shut it down. Works most of the time. Now I know who to thank.

I call my inner monologue "the committee in my head". The committee members never had anything nice to say.

I used reframing from CBT with my clients. It was effective.

It sounds like Learned Optimism by Seligman. We read it during advanced mediator training, and it was very helpful - for my work and personally. If I start thinking "what if", "everything is ruined", "my life sucks", etc., I return to what I learned from the book and move forward.

No trump. Wonder if he was even invited?

Colin Powell's life as a military leader, diplomat to be honored during funeral service
The Bidens are scheduled to attend the service as well as former Presidents Obama and Bush and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
No Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter but I think it's easy enough to assume they were welcome but had to decline for health reasons.

Watch Colin Powell’s service if you can. A reminder of a country that used to be.

Since everyone is masked can’t say for sure but Secretary Powell’s grandson appears to be his spitting image.

The great traditional music gets me every time (plus painkillers). Who deserves this more than Colin Powell? Yes I know there is that huge UN blunder but he acknowledged it and sought forgiveness and I am willing. Even Richard Armitage is gracious to Hillary and the Presidents who are there.

Armitage just told great story about Powell putting on a boom box , getting down on one knee and singing ABBA’s Momma Mia in the entirety to the gobsmacked Swedish delegation. A window into why he was so beloved by so my disparate groups of people.

Why yes it is. The best kind, cardboard graham crackers, pillow stuffing marshmallows and chocolate lab. Not mine, though.

I mostly saw the last half of it, so I missed some eulogies, but it was a beautiful service.
