I became a therapist for many beautiful reasons. But I also became a therapist because I could hide there.
The rules gave me permission to stay invisible. Professionalism meant I never had to be seen. It meant I could keep my spiritual practices, the cards, the rituals, the mystical tools, separate from my clinical work.
I performed a "stay in the lines" therapist for years. Helped people. Did good work. But kept half my knowledge out of the room. Split myself clean in half.
But hiding works until it doesn't. Until you're so exhausted from the performance that your body starts refusing to play along. Until the cost of staying small becomes higher than the risk of being seen.
These posts? A ritual of becoming visible. If you've been performing a sanitized version of yourself, if you've been keeping your real work hidden, the exhaustion is the invitation.
Let's start the work of being seen. Links are in my bio.
