What We Lose When We're Not Believed
There's a kind of tired I want to talk about, because I don't think it gets named enough, and because I've lived inside of it, and because the people who walk into my office almost always know exactly what I mean before I finish the sentence. It's the tired that comes from being the one who notices. It's exhausting being the one who feels the shift in the room, who registers the tightness in som
The Middleman’s Toll: My War Against the Venture Capital Siege on Mental Health

Maybe you've had it happen before. You spend what feels like forever debating whether it's time to reach out for help. Then the day comes where you're finally feeling ready so you look around, you find a few people, you draft the email (and edit it a thousand times because you're worried it doesn't sound right), you send it, then…. Nothing. Radio silence. You spent all that time working up
What to Look for in a Chronic Pain-Affirming Therapist
Finding a good therapist is hard. Finding a good therapist when you live with chronic pain is harder. The standard mental health system wasn't designed with chronic pain in mind, and many clinicians — even well-meaning ones — bring assumptions to this work that can do more harm than good. If you've ever been told that your pain is primarily psychological, that you just need to reduce
