Part of being weird and complicated is the challenge of trying to describe yourself.
Demographics? 40+ yrs old / balding / cute / modestly paid clinical social worker / rural mountain town / married 18+ yrs / no children / 3 awesome dogs / no political affiliation (or tolerance) / really bad knees / 2 extra ribs / 1 extra vertebra / split uvula
Some psychometrics maybe? INTP (Myers Briggs), 95%ile Diagnostic Reasoning / 99%ile idea flow / 40%ile Logical Reasoning (Rockport Institute) / IQ ~135 / Moon in Cancer in the 1st House (Vedic Astrology) / Gemini (Western Astrology) / I sing Tenor / Severe Attention Deficit Disorder (Inattentive Type) / Primary Tarot card for my life=The Tower / Numerology = 7 / 99th %ile in Openness (NEO-PI)
Life experience? Very neglected as a child / Merged with my dying dog's consciousness before he rose to...wherever / joined a cult at 15 / continued having supernatural experiences / traveled the country singing with a college choir / 10 yrs in the IT industry / Saw Italy, British Isles, 40 states / Made many many mistakes and lost many friends due to my foolishness / Changed careers to become a therapist and substance abuse specialist / tried hallucinogens for the first time at age 40 / Had many more after / Had a powerful trip / joined DMT-Nexus
Flaws? Too many to count. From short term memory issues to hangups from a troubled childhood. I've lost many people due to anger, self-loathing, and general lack of social skills. A big mouth. Historically lacking in empathy. Because I simultaneously see things from many angles, I have a hard time owning my own perspective, having a solid opinion, acting with conviction. I've had a hard time relaxing and enjoying myself in social situations. But in the past 5 yrs my entire life has turned around. It's like each of the past 5 yrs was worth 5 yrs of learning and growth. I do not deserve my wonderful wife and friend. I love everyone and find that very few enjoy me by comparison.
Strengths? A compulsion to get out of any boxed-in thinking I find myself. Honesty/humility/openness. I can find my way through/around/over any mental obstacle. I can see anything from 360 degrees. My mind manages to be virtually unhinged and yet I navigate this world ok. I'm a scientifically minded skeptic who can't stop a constant flood of paranormal/existential/psychedelic awesomeness. So I've had to maintain sanity in a life that has bombarded me with conflicting information and experiences. I've learned not to take myself or others too seriously.
Interests? Dreamwork. Symbolism. Consciousness. Music. The interfaces between different worlds/perspectives/minds. Always looking for the next "aha" moment. I'm a therapist, and every way of understanding human experience fascinates me. At least temporarily.
