Hello Keilani and James, I just wanted to let you know that your podcasts are a positive light for people who live in the darkness. Even if we never find the strength to seek help from therapy, there is a healing, or at least a soothing energy, that helps us to keep going, keep plowing through our lifelong dysfunction.
I am 57 years old, alone in every way my entire lifetime. No friends, no relationships, to direct human contact with anyone, ever, as an adult. Childhood trauma compelled me to retreat into myself, to build an isolated self-universe, safe and impenetrable. When I was younger, every form of therapy felt like subjecting myself to a direct, brutal attack. To expose weakness to a human, when every such exposure as a child resulted in trauma, harm, victimization, it just seemed so stupid and dangerous and unnecessary. And in so many ways it STILL feels this way, decades later. Never have I sought or had any contact with therapists. But things like your podcast, especially watching it on CZcams, it humanizes both therapists and therapy in a way that my dysfunctional consciousness was never able to realize, to actualize, before. So thank you so much, for that. Even as I still realize that most mental health professionals still, as in the past, consider their work to be just a job, with no direct personal care for their "customers".
I don't think I will ever seek therapy. Even as I sometimes weep uncontrollably and envision a fellow human understanding, comforting, me. I just dwell in my safe, lifelong isolation. Sleep, eat, work, play around on the internet, find small pleasures in solitary actions. Always I have felt like an alien from another planet, a different species, just observing the humans, just trying to figure out how and why they have created Insane Asylum Earth, while remaining completely oblivious to the insanities they embody and sanctify. The dysfunctionality of the individual human is trumped only by the dysfunctionality of humanity as a whole. Or so I think. Or so I have convinced myself.
I'm very glad you exist, Keilani and James. And that you found and continue to find the courage and inspiration to expose your True Realities to the world, to complete strangers. Your delightful, courageous, empathetic consciousness makes it a bit easier for the broken souls and minds who struggle every day to self-heal as best we can, to find the strength to keep on going.

This comment made my heart swell and ache all at the same time. I’m so sorry life has felt hard for you dear human, I’m sending you so much care right now, truly. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words, they inspire and motivate me. It’s only 7am where I am and you’ve just made my day knowing that you’ve connected to what we are sharing 🫶🏻

@@delightfulpod Thanks for caring. I believe you do care, and it means a lot. To be always invisible, never seen, never known, just a silent, secret shadow slithering through this long illusion of life, is not easy. And yet in so many ways I feel...lucky. To have found the strength to cope, to create enough peace and pleasure within myself, to be alright in my lifelong isolation. And to have never hurt others like I was hurt. And to have never let anyone hurt me as an adult. I perceive these "achievements" as being worthwhile, valuable.
I'm glad my expression of consciousness has found safe haven within your consciousness, and that it has impacted you in a positive way. Always love yourself, never let negative outside forces penetrate the delightful Self-universe you have created and dwell within. I say this only because we never know the secret, inner struggles of another. Every mind is fragile, vulnerable. One never knows when another dear human might need to hear how valuable, precious, important, they are. And so I tell you, because I want you to know it, to feel it, always.
