  • He’s great

    Felt the need to leave this review because of some people getting upset he’s getting “too political”. Well all I can say is if you don’t see the connection between what’s going on in the US with rising fascism and being gaslit and abused as a kid, that’s on you. Patrick is articulate, funny, and makes me feel

    Understood as a survivor of emotional, narcissistic and sexual abuse in my family

  • Propaganda disguised as compassion

    As an influencer whose platform is purported to guide trauma survivors on a healing journey, using this platform to surreptitiously push your political ideology is disingenuous and manipulative.

    Portraying federal immigration agents as unvetted sociopaths hiding behind masks so they can satisfy their lust for power is long on speculation and opinion, and devoid of any verifiable facts.

    I was looking for a healing community, not propaganda disguised as compassion.

  • Born with a lack of common sense, too

    The dots are finally starting to connect. Neurodivergence aside, I was sold that trope and believed it for decades. Older age tends to fudge cogitation in new ways, so same stuff, different day, hopefully with less shame.

    But what gets me is that I believed the lie that I also picked fights. (She picked them; my reaction was a mirror to her behavior.) But if that’s so bad, then so are the good guys who show up when justice is usurped.
