Thank you for the mention! I never realized how similar our experience was, not in symptoms but just in the breakdown. Something else about trauma is that it's incredibly hard to change one's point of view, unless something happens that causes you to wrestle and change your basic assumptions. That's where all these interesting problems arise I suppose. I'm so glad you can balance work again of some kind. In my heart I think it's another year before I can really get comfortable w ppl or try to travel, I'm in year 3, sigh. And i might be attempting something physically difficult but that's tmi for the comment section. Sending much hearts to your journey, inside and outside in Turkey. And I still hope I can hear your music!
Yep - there's a reason I find your work so comforting and interesting ;)
I think very few people really grapple with their fundamental assumptions in any meaningful way, and that those of us who are forced to are really being given a blessing in disguise. Granted, it's a reeeeeally good disguise.
Thanks for your supportive words - and I've been meaning to tell you I've found the CTT method *really* useful for expanding the range & quantity of what I can eat recently, which is huge. You're generously transmuting the tough metal of your difficult experiences into gold your readers can benefit from, and that's wonderful.
I love this Oscar. People's life philosophies should be designed to suit their own personality and what feels right to them - I don't think it's true that ideas are just ideas, they're always an outgrowth of our backgrounds and general vibes. You've owned that and crafted something that expresses who you, specifically, are.

Thanks so much Oscar! As a fellow sea creature I'm interested in hearing more about this wave :)
