Over the years now I've been interviewed on radio and podcasts a number of times. I've had fun every time. This interview with Chris Cole, though, I believe is my favorite so far and that's because he went straight to what is most important to me at this time in my work. That is the... Continue Reading →
In healing chronic illness with many acute, chronic pains I’ve seen that dissociation is not simply psychological but profoundly physiological too… The process of getting chronically ill included layers of ever deepening dissociation from the body creating multiple broad spectrum illnesses…a dissociated body/mind cannot meaningfully take care of itself.
The wise ageless one within. It's there...aching to emerge. *** Happiness can coexist with despair. It really can. We need to stop having such narrow view of what happiness is. Being human is a rough ride, when we can embrace the despair the happiness is a byproduct. The clearer we get, the more this sort of thing occurs. When we are clear we can feel anything on the emotional spectrum and it flows straight through...we get stuck in some of this stuff before we get clear because we've never been allowed to be who and what we are.
This is the video I did last year for this day. Help raise awareness and please share it and other information about benzodiazepines today. Visit: -- World Benzodiazepine Day: Change through Unity (Facebook page) -- Recently I wrote another post about what it was like when the illness incurred by the drugs was at its worst: When medicine and doctors almost kill you… Because, yeah, I was on death's door for a long, long time. It can still feel traumatic to really think about that time. I do hope we can help others avoid such a fate. ...
I'm doing heavy metal detox...intense. Rarely mention it because people don't understand how insane it is. I can feel metal leaving my brain. Metal hangs out in biofilms with infectious agents...as this comes out so does decades & lifetimes--via ancestral lineage -- of emotional crap. Virtually no support during this process, really...not that I've found... Continue Reading →

Let your pain speak. Pain management is often necessary and grounded in kindness and mercy. Pain avoidance on the other hand will go too far. Learn to walk that line. The entire medical system, both for physical and mental health, is largely based on pain avoidance-it's not sustainable. We must feel to deeply heal. Fact... Continue Reading →
As I heal my brain/body I lose the capacity to dissociate ... it's excruciatingly painful. Both physically and emotionally. ...
People (often) don't need help. They need love. Acceptance. Space to discover who they really are. Practical "help" might come in the way of providing actual needs like food, water, and shelter...but for the interior journey--holding space is far more important. Also, providing support so that expression of that interior journey can be manifested however the person taking that journey needs to do that in the safest way possible. Telling people what to do whether it's relatively subtle or whether its with explicit force doesn't provide a healing context.. ...
