ADHD Guide for/by Artists, Day 7

ok, well this is as far as i got today:

 

These are just a handful of the "therapist-isms" from 2 years of talk therapy (much of it weekly) where i would hear the same thing over and over and still manage to forget them...

Often, i don’t want to go to therapy, he says, “Good!”,
"maybe next time i can get you to be angry”…
this guy…

DAE have a relationship like this?
Although, i disagree with his politics a lot,
i must say it was absolutely effective at getting rid of my panic attacks.
If you hang out with me enough you might even hear me parroting some of this stuff,
it's simple, just not actually easy.

Next post will be either a glossary of terms or maybe i'll just try out some different designs where text is just big and bold. 

 

I’m not quite sure yet if it would go near the front (most clear info) or the back (most existential info), but i must say, without the goal of making a pocket-guide/zine about ADHD that i wish existed, it would have never occurred to have organized all of my notes from those years and to have them closer at hand. 

 

So if you think that i've got a good idea going... please consider joining Patreon.com/cedrictai.

[Image says in big letters, 

your only job is to feel things.

around that is the text: therapist-isms 

(making the unconscious conscious, 

towards less depression & anxiety) 

instead of trying to be “happy”… 

instead of thinking that you’re “special”… 

instead of saying, “everyone’s doing their best”… 

instead of hoping that somehow, someone else will apologize… 

All of us, all of the time, are unconsciously doing whatever we can to try to get away from feeling painful feelings.
