Less than a year into the second reign of the mad American king-a monarch with all the subtlety one might expect from America's first-it's easy to forget that his first term was no cake walk. Supposed terrorists in every rescued migrant, children separated from parents on the border, over-told numbers of personnel scandals and the constant turnovers that resulted, the utter weaponization of foreign relations, the camera-captured continuation of systemic racism culminating in George Floyd and the rise of BLM, and, of course, the pandemic...we were in a constant collective state of emergency.
It was a time of destruction, mostly of our idea of normal. But it also was a time of repair, or at least, for many, the recognition of its need. The ubiquity of psychotherapy that took shape during this time is not surprising: a lot of us decided to have a look under the hoods to see if we might be part of the problem.
In 2018, hot on the heels of therapeutic discoveries of my own, I started with a steering wheel and ended with a qwerty keyboard. I saw neither coming: the road trips nor the discoveries they would lead me to.
Some of those discoveries, I found, I could not live with.
