Conversion therapy presumes the therapist knows the middle and end of the story before they even get through the beginning -- much less the prequel.

Therapy is sort of like a carnival mirror room. Every angle shows a different version of you. And the work is realizing none of them are the whole picture, yet all belong to you. #mentalhealth #therapistsky #therapy

Current read, for lefty book club. I don't want to know these things, and yet I feel I must.

Finished Trauma Plot by Jamie Hood last night. It's a difficult read but deeply worth it. Grappling w/her inner and external external life is raw, vulnerable, messy, & highly intelligent & insightful. I borrowed it from the library but will be buying my own copy. CW: graphic descriptions of rape.

Saw The Play That Goes Wrong at the Seattle Rep this evening. It was hilarious and brilliantly done. Highly recommended!

Attended the inaugural meeting of a new community-building book club this evening! First read: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins. Looking forward to deeper conversations and local action with my neighbors.

As a trauma therapist, I'm often asked if one has to forgive the abuser/assailant in order to heal. The answer is no.

Convo #2 with my dad yesterday included cameos from my mom and my son. Topics ranged from fear to intuition to embracing people's full humanity, even/especially when they've done something truly horrifying. (He worked in corrections his entire career.)

Yeah, my EHR offers it and there is no way I'm taking them up on it. It horrifies me.
Really horrified to learn that mental health clinicians are using LLM’s to write their case notes and treatment plans.

Read these two back-to-back over the weekend. I can still feel them working in me.

Find yourself a therapist who works with dreams if you're at all inclined in that direction. I've never gotten so much from therapy as when I'm working with a deeply knowledgeable dreamworker.

This afternoon I sat with my transcript of conversation #1 with my dad and combed through it for themes that could become chapters. There are so many! I can't wait to see how they gel in the end. I'm feeling so happy and excited about this project. Convo #2 is next week.

For your toolbox: On days when gratitude feels like a heavy lift, just write down one thing you would have missed (if, for example, you had left the world the night before) -- something you wouldn't have *wanted* to miss. Something as small as a butterfly or as big as the sky. #WouldaMissedList

REVIEW: Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher
T. Kingfisher has proved herself to be the queen of the twisty, dark, satirical, fairytale retellings, but she truly outdid herself in Hemlock & Silver.

Took a day trip with the family to Portland, Oregon today. After the obligatory visit to @powells.bsky.social, we hit up the Skeleton Key Odditorium -- both fun and intriguing. So much to ponder of the edges of human experience. Photo: items made of uranium glass, displayed under black light.

Listening to the first recording of my conversations with my dad, I'm wondering if this should be a podcast instead of/in addition to a book. It's such a pleasure to listen to him spin a story and ponder his life.

I took a big step toward a major life goal yesterday -- sat down with my dad to begin record conversations about our respective careers (mine in psychotherapy, his in social work). I've combed through the transcript several times today. I'm so lucky to have him, so excited to see where this leads.
