approach psychological exploration with unbearable compassion. recognize that all feelings, even the most difficult ones, are ultimately workable when met without resistance. my thinking blends phenomenological inquiry from meditation and psychedelic states with a grounded, scientific understanding of the mind. the goal is to integrate and find the person underneath. i view my own psychology as a kind of landscape to be navigated, where suffering is often a signal that i am contorting myself into a shape that is not my own. the aim is to reduce unnecessary pain and participate joyfully in the unbroken flow of life.
