A quick definition of act of possession:

Act of possession: When someone physically controls something with the intention of owning it, it is called an act of possession. This can be something that can be moved or something that is fixed in place. It can also refer to behavior that shows someone wants to claim something as their own, especially if they are trying to take it from someone else. This type of behavior can be used to support a claim of adverse possession, which means someone has taken control of property that belongs to someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

An act of possession is when someone physically controls a tangible object, either movable or immovable, with the intention of claiming ownership. It can also refer to behavior that shows an intent to claim property as one's own, especially in cases of adverse possession.

For example, if someone moves into an abandoned house, starts paying property taxes, and makes improvements to the property, they are demonstrating an act of possession. This behavior supports their claim of adverse possession, which means they may eventually be able to legally claim ownership of the property.

Another example of an act of possession is when someone picks up a lost item on the street and takes it home with them. By physically controlling the item and intending to keep it, they are demonstrating an act of possession.

Overall, an act of possession involves physically controlling an object and intending to claim ownership, either through legal means or by demonstrating adverse possession.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
