Two birthday or not to birthday, that is the question.

In this episode, I spoke about my grandma’s illness and how it’s affecting my birthday this year.  I’m also dealing with the task of purchasing my mother’s head stone as it has been long enough for the dirt to settle and I believe it is time.

this episode I read from HP Lovecraft, the outsider.just the beginning.

In this episode, I talk about a group session that I had in the topic came up of hobbies.

One of the hobbies I brought up was leather craft, and the conversation turned a little bit sinister, because of the perception that it carries with it, and a few of the guys in the group decided to chime in and tell me what they thought of me through leathercraft.

I read from a notebook that I bought at another craft store called getting started in leather crafting.

Today’s episode is based on another group session that we spent talking about birthdays, and how we spent birthdays. It started out talking about our best birthday in the month. I’m talking about our worst birthday.

today’s reading comes from Albert Camus “The Stranger”.

In this episode, I talk about the correlation between megalomania and narcissism of an American president and the idea that birthdays can be celebrated as an individual person, or in a group setting.  

perhaps even that you can celebrate vicariously for those that have already passed and celebrate yourself through their actions.

Today’s episode deals with my first Mother’s Day after my mother’s passing last October.  Unlike other past episodes, this one really doesn’t deal with Group Therapy. This is just something that I went through.

Today’s reading is taken from some poems that I read from Robert frost. One of the poems is one of the poems that I read the first time the night that I got raped for the first time by the teacher. it is always had a special place.

Some of the things that I deal with is being able to handle tragedy, which means you can be able to handle the world. I also felt like Mother’s Day or the passing of your last parent was practice for your own funeral especially if you’re the last one.

In this episode, I discussed the group therapy session that was before Easter, and about the concept of murder them, but only for the survival of sex abuse, but also the survivor of addiction.

Today’s reading was taken from a poem by Walt Whitman entitled “to him that was crucified”.

I start off by with a group to find from Webster’s is the term of martyr.  I didn’t move into the different kinds of death like humiliation disappointment, and endup in the banalities of life.  It was just a concept that people actually die before they actually die.

I then talk about suicide and the search for a quality per Walt Whitman.

All everyone together

The junkies conundrum

This episode, is it getting taken from the group therapy session with the topic was seeing a psychiatrist or seeing a nurse practitioner through a television.

Some of the guys in the group didn’t like it bothers liked it without a human being physically in the room.  Decision also involved you guys talking about the hierarchy between group therapy and individual one on one therapy.

This podcast session the reading was from Neil postman’s Technopoly.  This was a book that I read about matriculated in experimental design.

This episode is based on more group therapy sessions in which the group diagnosed American voters.  

This is a reference to the phenomena of trans placement wherein a patient believes they themselves are a doctor or therapist. This is due to the expertise afforded patients the total time in therapy.

This reading is from Emma gold man’s “minorities vs majorities.

My mother passed away.  This episode I talk about the cycle of life, funerals, being missed, being remembered, and the role of children.

My mother wore the chain she forged in life, and pressed it upon me.  I feel a sense of relief for her passing.  Her birthday approaches and I feel nothing.

I read again from Poe.

The cycle of life repeats.  My turn to die is in play.

This episodes deals with the election for president as politic entered group therapy recently.

I read from Anarchism and other essays by Emma Goldman.  The article is entitled “patriotism: a menace to liberty.

The real separation of human is based on wealth: rich vs poor.

I call for a national divorce between American and politicians.

In this episode I discuss a new member to the group who was diagnosed with co curing and has decided to do both, group therapy and NA.  I read from my copy of the narcotics anonymous blue specifically on recovery and relapse.

My opinion of therapy methodologies is just that , my opinion. I support whatever works for you.  NA didn’t work for me.

Life is not a group effort

Treatment becomes our new addiction
