Opinion #
In real life, I am highly opinionated about diverse content areas.
This area of my website is the safe space for me (mostly Joshua) to broadcast my opinions. 🤓
Maybe you trust me. I can help you navigate the age of hyperspecialization.1
No Secrets #
In my previous career, I contributed to science and free and open source software. 📖✍🏼 I continue to carry some of the same ethical principles forward as a counselor. Specifically, I reject secrecy in the sense that I have no paywall or subscription for my website content. 📬
Counseling ≠ Telling Opinions #
As an IFS Practitioner, I attend to structure and process while holding content lightly. I believe that a good counselor is extremely impartial ⚖️, thereby inviting the client’s inner system to lead. 🗽
The illustration below is an analogy
- The rock balanced atop of the pile of rocks represents the client.
- The environment represents my emotional warmth and support.
- My job is to keep you, the client, well held and protected. 🫶🏼
You should not hear any unsolicited opinions from me when I am working with you as your counselor. If you think you hear me express an opinion, I want to know about it. 🙊
