I just recorded this short reading from my zine Dangerous Gifts: Using IFS to Channel Your Madness & Transform Your Life. It’s six minutes of story, truth, and reflection—what I would have wanted to hear when I was 18 and just getting locked up for the first time.
This zine is for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by their inner world, been told they were too much, or wondered if they were going crazy. It’s for people navigating extreme states, grappling with meaning, or trying to understand their lives through something other than diagnosis and shame. It weaves together my experiences with psychosis, Internal Family Systems, and the long lineage of mad resistance that saved my life.
I used to photocopy my zines and hand them out to people in punk houses, bookstores, waiting rooms, and street corners. Now, I have no idea who’s reading my stuff unless you write back to me—which you totally should. I want to hear from you.
