Opinion #
In real life, I am highly opinionated about diverse content areas.
The author remains stubbornly human despite extensive fieldwork, ceremonial participation, and rigorous belief minimization. No chimps were harmed in the preparation of this image.
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. 🙊
