Into the Void

Any Fool Can Do It

The secret to life is enjoying the ride.  For Eagle.

Briefing for a Descent Into Hell

In which Annie hauls her ass out of survival mode, with the help of some premium cannabis. She finds herself happily returned to the world of the present, where she is able to begin to repair her relationship with her wonderful group therapist, Rachel.

The Flea

In which Annie feels like an insect. A flea.  And makes the painful decision decide to walk away from people who treat her in ways that contribute to such feelings--of insignificance and inhumanity; even when those people are her mother.  

Chill Pill

In which we hear Annie speak briefly to the election and her response to it.  As well, about Annie's response to other people's response to her response as compared to their response.  All of which amounts to a mouthful of projective identification.  Also in this episode-- leaps and bounds in the therapy room!  As, probably for the first time in her life, Annie feels fundamentally more steady and comfortable in the knowledge she has about her own character, comportment, and value.   Thereby releasing  herself from the curse of letting other people dictate who we are, or how we feel about ourselves.  L'chaim.  

For All Intents and Purposes

Annie starts this episode out a little #triggered, so please be thoughtful if you yourself get triggered before listening!  But 15 minutes later, she ends the episode in a very different state of mind, feeling almost a little happy, and very #grateful.  This one is for my beautiful cousin Michelle.  Love you cuz.  

Rice to Riches

Self explanatory but you gotta listen, to get it.  Thank you to the universe for my strength and for rice pudding.

A Long Strange Trip

"Well," said the friend, "did you discover her point of view?" 
"I don't know that I did," replied the woman, "but at any rate I think mine has undergone a considerable alteration." [Stephen Crane, An Experiment in Misery].

Same Bed, Different Dreams

In which we hear some of Annie's thoughts on love and relationships in her therapy with Dr. X, and she shares a little more of her writing with us.  

From the Diary of A Snail

Wherein Annie reads to us from her work.  Trigger warning for those whom get triggered.  

Genesis

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  And the earth was without form, and void.  And darkness was across the face of the deep."  A philosophical/religious conversation between Annie and Daniel Meredith, Phd, about the nature of existence and the presence of a supreme being in the universe, and inside ourselves.
