I agree, self determination is important. I suffered from treatment to and went to great lengths to avoid it. We all have different journeys and have the right to choose what works for us.

Hi S,

It is so good to hear from you and hear about your experience with operating a private practice. I write to maintain that authentic self through the bullshit that seems to have to go on in order to survive. If you ever want an ear, please do not hesitate to email me at special.messages7@gmail.com. We are all on different journeys and one persons answer is another persons poison so I would do my best to just listen and learn from what you’ve been through in a mutual manner.

Thank you for the kind wishes. And Best of best wishes to you.

Tim

One of my core values is authenticity. Most of my life was filled with being inauthentic. I tried so hard to be what other people wanted that I lost myself. Healing from mental illness was largely through learning to connect authentically to myself and others again. I’ve tried to incorporate this into my professional identity too, but find it difficult while navigating insurance requirements, license requirements, and all the other perspectives required to run your own practice.

I had a couple of traumatizing interactions running my practice that made me recoil and reconsider what I’m trying to accomplish. Colleagues have encouraged me to leave psychosis behind and re-gear my practice to different populations. But even entertaining these thoughts feels further from my authentic self.

I wonder about abandoning my license altogether and practicing as a coach or a guide or some other title with less rigid guidelines. But it would be harder to market and harder to keep the business afloat. And I still worry about the potential for trauma and safety risks.

I’m not really seeking answers here. I just wanted to share that I relate to what you wrote. We fought for the identities we hold close to us today because they used to be splintered. To feel the need split our identity again seems painful and unfortunate. Perhaps the difference now is that we get to choose? As children, the splintering happened to us and we were powerless. As adults we can choose with intention. That’s the best reframe I can give so far! Good luck on your new ventures Tim.

It has never seemed fair that people train and fail to acculturate to people with psychosis and then move on to a paying class.” I look forward to reading more of your work and here’s to “taking a blind leap of faith.”
