@_space_punk_ have u tried liberating it at its inception as a display of creative power?

it can be wonderful to be in relationship with the animal of the body as it is with any animal once loving trust & loyalty is built. a beloved, loyal companion protecting you vs a feral snappy stray.

when God puts me in strange and terrifying situations, I see myself as a cat going to the vet. it’s good for me somehow, I say, or else someone who loves me wouldn’t have taken me there

We're down to the final 72 hrs to bring Nameless Mountain over the finish line. Currently, we are 2/3 of the way to our goal of $50k, which lets us hire staff and launch classes, events & community later this spring.

If you haven't given yet, please don't wait.

i'm glad to see more conversations about the (mild) autism cluster, bc i used to fit the bill but 90%+ of my prior symptoms have been incredibly responsive to reparative attuned contact with others and self & now appear to be downstream of childhood relational/emotional neglect.

[Leela @pythonandpanda]

i used to be so cut off from my emotions that it seemed to me like my body responses & expressions were nonsensical misfirings. i was v defensive about other ppl's interpretations but it turns out they were more right about what i was feeling than i was. i identified as autistic.

[sean @seanta___]

my hot take is that [mild] autists are actually having emotions they don't know about, and the listener is having trouble matching up what is being said with what they see on the person's face or tone

You know that thing people get wrong about narcissism all the time thinking it's just someone who loves themselves way too much, this clip really cuts through that.

it shows how it's actually a tough protective shell someone creates when their inner world feels broken into pieces and unreliable so they patch together this shiny perfect version of themselves.

underneath it also blocks any chance at real connection and therapy's job is to gently chip away at that armor over time letting the person meet those hidden hurting parts without everything falling apart and maybe discover that letting someone in isn't a weakness it's actually what makes us fully alive.

I appear in attractive forms to test for desire, and in repulsive forms to test for hatred and ignorance. For those not bound by the passions, I appear in creative forms. As I speak now, I am formless.

Perfection is inhuman. Human beings are not perfect. What evokes our love --and I mean love, not lust--is the imperfection of the human being. So, when the imperfection of the real person peaks through, say, 'This is a challenge to my compassion.~ Joseph Campbell

poets are all insane because they're tasked with finding the sacred in the mundane in a culture that feels like hearing your wedding song in a commercial for diarrhea medicine over and over again forever

@OortCloudAtlas Hard to convey how precious this book is to me. I can send you some excerpts if you'd like to check it out.

[Leela @pythonandpanda]

@OortCloudAtlas Corrective relational experience with someone attuned and regulated is the only thing that seems to really move the needle for me or or my clients. I highly recommend Patricia DeYoung's Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame — v clear, precise articulations of what works.
