When we heal, it begins… too often… as a shot in the dark. We have no idea what “healing” is. We have no idea where it will take us. We just know we need help.
So we blindly go to the first thing the Internet throws at us and we drown. Or we swim. Or we wade in the water confused.
Confusion is what I call a “Red Flag” emotion. It is the first emotion, always the first, that tells you “Something is tampering with our information.” Confusion is the most vulnerable emotion because, when we experience Confusion, it is the only time we are not able to Defend ourselves.
And if a Narcissist or an Abuser is gaslighting you, forcing Confusion into you, you are not open and vulnerable to receive your abuser… and they know this.
It is with Confusion that we first begin therapy. We have no idea what we’re doing, where we are going, and what our new journey will look like, lead us, or do for us.
It wasn’t until my own Healing Journey ended that I went, “Fuck that shit!” Why did the Healing Journey have to be so dark, uninformed, mysterious, and confusing?
In short, it doesn’t. Therapists and Government officials just don’t prioritize shedding light on the Healing Journey.
When we begin class in school, we are given a ruberic. We are shown an outline. We know what path lies ahead. In fact, “The Stages of Healing” are available online and are common knowledge to Psychologists. They just don’t feel that this is information you need.
And to a Trauma survivor, having the big picture and the map to healing is a BIG FUCKING DEAL.
I have 28 years in Psychology and in Philosophy and Sociology. I’ve spent a lot of my time writing my own Healing program that takes people well off the traditional road of healing. Because it’s inadequate. I am Street with the brain of… well… Watch my YouTube Podcast Shifting Perspectives. You’ll see.
The thing is, my clients are Street. And so am I. My clients are LGBTQIA+ and Anarchists themselves. They are Non-Conformists who celebrate the Shadow Self through BDSM and Polyamorous Lifestyles. And so am I. I don’t flout my expertise with prestige. Talking down to people with my text books.
I tell it like it is and I talk to them like people. It’s my Truth. It’s my Style. I am too “Burner Man” and “Anarchist” and “Queer” to put on a mask of Professionalism to accommodate peers of my profession. My Niche are real people with real values who prioritize the Self over the whims and control of their abusers.
I have no tolerance or patience for propriety.
And my services are the same. They reflect that.
I am all the parts of me. I save my class for Anna’s Elite, but I don’t allow the stuffy prestige dictate my comfort zone. I’m real. And it’s being fake that got me and everyone else into this mess to begin with. It’s being fake that breaks us.
And there is something about the LGBTQIA+ Community and Non-Conformists… they get that. They understand that. Conformists DON’T.
So yeah. I guess you could say I’m a Street Psychologist. A Philosopher. Hell. I’m an Anarchist.
