something that came up briefly in my last meeting with my keyworker... the idea of narrative and meaning. well, she was telling me about having gone to a clairvoyant... and i was saying that i didn't believe in any of that really... but that she was picking up on subtle cues... heart rate and sweat and eye movements etc... that it was a constructive process. because there was something about a person whose name begins with c or k or possibly maybe th...
and i said that it isn't a lot different to psychiatry, really. a lot of it...
and she said 'oh, you believe in that (the search for meaning) do you?' and i was like 'of course'.
then we got to talking about the shooting down in ashburton. and she initially seemed surprised that i empathized with the shooter. and admitted that people from the mission had set up a webpage for him... about how homeless people need more help and about how it isn't good enough with all these state houses sitting empty while people are being evicted from parks...
i guess it is just a bit unusual that aspergers girl can empathise... and can empathise (kinda sorta) with the clairvoyance thing - even though she doesn't believe...
anyhoo... it got me thinking...
that is a lot of what i do here. try and narrate... to come to a view of my life that is... something i can live with.
having a hard time presently because it needs work. that's got a lot to do with why i ramble on... searching... for a way to view...
eventually... need the 2 minute version. so much work to get to there...
