A little comedy relief for this fine Saturday.

When we think about mental issues, we might be careful to wonder what is serious and what is comic.

(I wonder how many of my readers have heard this skit!)

  1. I love how you use a touch of humor to crack open something deeper: the “psychological game” we all get invited to without noticing. It isn’t about performance—it’s about the subtle strategies our minds silently deploy when we’re stressed or unseen.

    It feels like coherence isn’t built through self-defense, but slowly threaded through authenticity and shared witnessing. That reminds me of a reflection I made in The Aligning Power of a Good Rain Walk—sometimes the most effective realignment comes not from logic, but from simple presence.

    Thank you for opening up the field of the invisible game—sometimes naming the rules is the first move toward liberation.

    • Hi! you commented a while ago, but I am just now seeing how to reply to it! lol. Thank you! It is a game, but it is a real thing. but so many get sucked into it in a real problematic way.

About this blog

Essays in mental health philosophy—less “tips,” more why things work (or don’t). I look at the first principles under therapy, psychiatry, psychology, and everyday life, and occasionally share notes from papers and books-in-progress.

This space stands alongside—not inside—my counseling practice. If you’re seeking therapy in Colorado, there’s a link in the footer.
