Wellness

Attempting to discuss the "rubber band" metaphor, I fall into a rabbit hole early on about self actualization. In the end, I challenge myself (and the listener) to consider three domains of wellness (structural, emotional and spiritual) that, at some point, will need to be integrated into a single wellness plan. Self actualization requires it! Supporting themes: Abuse; Healing and recovery; Dating and polyamory; Education and teaching; Therapy and finding a good therapist; and Entrepreneurship and employment. Typology: INTJ

The Cell

Using the "cell" as a metaphor, I explain the unique way I see the social world. Supporting themes: Boundaries and gatekeepers (the membrane); Power and direction (the nucleus); Social layers, social consciousness, values and norms (the cytoplasm); and People and social interactions (organelles). Typology: Ni

Scripts and Interactions

In this reflection I talk about three social interactions and the scripts that influenced them. The reflection ends with me moving more into a space of ownership and maturity. Supporting themes: Drama characters and cycles; Toxic Family Systems Theory; Mono- cultural neighborhoods; and Upside down power dynamics at work and home. Typology: Fi

In this reflection I use the amoeba as a metaphor to talk about (toxic) family systems theory and social change. Typology: INTJ,; INTP; Type 8; Survival Instincts: Social. Self Preservation. and Sexual.

Conflict

I’m Not Playing

I end this reflection with "I'm not playing (anymore)." In exploring concepts like vision, truth, and grips, I realize why I have played and why I will play no longer. Note 1: This reflection was guided by an article from Psychology Junkie where two quotes helped me unpack the experience of truth and suffering [Go to Twitter @YourNiDom1 to get the article.] Note 2: I provide an update on my "person" fighting cancer and my journey with them.
