Narcissistic Abuse, Cognitive Dissonance, and Sexual Exploitation
A person sits on a bed in a dimly lit room, conveying the heavy emotional toll of narcissistic abuse and sexual exploitation. When Cognitive Dissonance Becomes the Cage I first heard the term narcissistic abuse in March of 2025. That fact alone still unsettles me. I had been a clinician for over a decade and had never once heard it named that way. When my therapist used the term during a session—one that followed an experience where I felt sexually objectified and violated—I

The Lighthouse: Self-RespectA Reflection on Holding the Line When Compassion Becomes Surrender
Lighthouse The Lighthouse and the Bear When I was in high school, I was on the block for the 50 or 100 free, and one of my teammates—Kevin Timony—yelled out that I looked like a bear.“The Bear!” It lasted maybe a meet or two, but I liked it. A lot. The nickname didn’t stick, but the animal did. I fucking love bears. Big, grumpy, solitary—but also kind and gentle in their own way. Bears don’t beg to be understood. They don’t explain themselves. They just exist. They also don’t

Can Other People Change?
When I was a kid, my parents gave me a book of Greek mythology. The wild stories caught my attention, but it was the heroes who truly inspired me. I loved reading about people who faced significant challenges, learned from their mistakes, and emerged stronger. Everyone loves a comeback story. We all enjoy seeing a hero rise again. (Except maybe 1990s Knicks fans — Michael Jordan kind of ruined that for them.) Even if we can’t relate to Hercules or Jordan, we all know the feel

Learning to Breathe: Mindfulness Breathing Techniques for Everyday Calm
Breathing. It sounds so simple, right? We do it all day, every day, without even thinking. But what if I told you that how you breathe could change everything? That your breath is this secret weapon, a lifeline to calm, focus, and clarity? I wasn’t always a believer either. I used to think mindfulness was just another buzzword, some fluffy trend for yoga mats and incense sticks.
