#THEY HAVE ANXIETY AND TRAUMA AND ARE EACH OTHER'S EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TEAM

my favorite hc is that the chb head counselors (specifically the ones who were there and experienced the manhattan battle) are best friends.
they have sleepovers in the poseidon cabin (since it's just percy and tyson), they have monthy group outings where they just go out and get to be kids, sally invites them over at least once a week for dinner, they walk to activities together, they're so clingy it's ridiculous.
the campers who experienced the battle get it, because there's only so much death and parentification a literal teenager can take before needing to rely on others, so seeing percy carrying will piggy-back out of the med cabin, or watching clarisse chasing one of the stoll brothers around camp, or seeing annabeth, chris, and katie engaged in a heated debate over which area to plant the newest strawberry field, it's all normal to them.
they will absolutely die if they are not within twelve feet of each other, they legally have to be around each other at all times or else they will lose it. when percy got back to chb after his disappearance, the head counselors spent the day inside the poseidon cabin, all piled together in a demigod puppy pile, percy at the center with clarisse's elbow in his ribs, katie's knee hitting his temple, one of the stoll brothers attempting to use his knee as a back rest, pollux's hand dangerously close to smacking him in the face, and the biggest, happiest smile on his face.

Arthur Hollywood Goddamnit. what do you think of him
Arthur Hollywood (Goddamnit) sounds like a reality TV show personality.
Ohhh, Arthur. I lament his lack of activity in the book, I cannot sing of my love without wailing over what could have been. Gah! There was so much potential for interesting interactions involving him, but his presence is less felt after Mina comforts him. It's as if Bram said "well, his trauma is resolved now" and just shoved him aside.
As a masc enby, having a male character who not only has the emotional maturity to let himself cry but is also held up by his peers as a noble masculine figure is just very important to me. I feel like his sensitivity could have aided the team greatly, but Mina gets all the emotional navigation skills once she's integrated into the team which is frustrating because of all of its sexist implications (cult of domesticity and all that, also she's doing all the emotional labour after being violently attacked, super unfair).
Also! Let Arthur and Mina speak to each other more!! He promised to be her brother!! I don't think he meant estranged brother!!
Also also!! Renfield is literally his father's ex-friend. What is going on there? How does Arthur feel about a fellow nobleman being imprisoned for madness? Does that spark any anxiety?
Also also also!!! *gestures to the largely undocumented partnership of Jonathan and Arthur in the final stretch* You cannot deny there's some hot goss there. Do you think they held hands on that boat?
I need to stop whinging.
Arthur is a very trusting man. Because of this, he trusted Jack unconditionally with Lucy's care and extended that same trust to VH when Jack brought him in. He questioned absolutely nothing, and while this made it easier for VH to keep secrets, it meant that Lucy's fluctuating condition went unreported. Arthur was unable to be there to support his love. He sent Quincey in his stead when the worry overtook him because surely Jack would not keep anything from him if things were truly as bad as he feared! Surely, Quincey would get there, everything would be well, and they'd all have a laugh about how overcautious Arthur is.
But things were worse than Arthur ever could have imagined, and his best friend refused to tell him. And yet! His trust in his friends is unwavering.
It's just so unfortunate that Arthur takes a backseat (so much so that on certain days, he and Quincey are just missing?? I can only assume they are doing jack shit to help the team) because it gives the impression he just has no particular feelings about the events of the rest of the book. Not to say he's completely emotionless, but he has no reactions that stand out like he did previously. The only one that comes to mind is super minor: him hesitating to reveal Renfield's death (I headcanon that he was shaken by it, but obv Bram meant it more like "I cannot mention death in front of a woman! she'll think it's a good idea and die as well!).
There's also the elephant in the room: I don't think under any circumstances that Lucy "chose wrong", and ya know, insisting that she did is patronizing and disrespectful, but I already made that post. I feel like that subject has a bit less to do with Arthur and more with Lucy because it doesn't matter which suitor I love best, the question is which one Lucy loves best. And the answer is Arthur.
I love him so much! I only wish that I had made more stuff involving him. Of course, I have plenty of WIPs featuring or even spotlighting him, but those ideas... are so grand... I have no short sweet ideas when it comes to Arthur. I want to go into depth, but I haven't been able to properly execute that. Thankfully, a goal in writing Orice is giving Arthur a larger role to play (so far, he, alongside Quincey, has been serving Jack a lot of talk-downs).

SEVEN - Aloïs Marshall
Tumblr media
- ROLE
Aloïs is the head of the 7th Division and a superhero himself. He's the secret identity of The Clockworker, as well as Ezra Marshall's twin brother.
As a leader, he plans the missions and gives most of the orders. He's responsible of the team cohesion and leads the group reunions.
- APPEARANCE
Species : surhuman
Age : 37
Height : 180 cm

COSTUME

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Civilian Aloïs VS Superhero Aloïs
- ILLUSTRATIONS, COMICS, SHITPOST
- Illustrations :
Finish Line - Pockets - Bell Tower - Marshall Cats - Teenagers - Bodies - Sequin Dress - Clock Child - Friends - Pardon -
- Comics :
Broken - I'm Gay - Fine, Thanks ! -
- Shitpost :
Disney Princess Meme - Trauma Dump - Each Other's... - Bigots - Spoon - Mistake - Spectrum - Attractive -
- ABILITIES
Aloïs' super power makes him able to create portals to teleport on short distances. He can either move his whole body, specific parts of it, small objects or other people.
The maximal distance one of his portals reached was 1km, but it caused his body some damage.
Aside from his surhuman ability, Aloïs is a good fighter with a complete military training. He's however psychologically unable to use a gun because of a traumatic event.
- PERSONALITY
Aloïs usually appears at first as arrogant, authoritative and disagreeable. Being on the autism spectrum, he struggles with the social norm and emotions : he doesn't always understand how he feels and doesn't know how to express it properly. Most of the time, he will be quite unexpressive and distant.
As he can't understand how people work or think, he is terrible at showing empathy and support, even to his loved ones. The only thing he's worse at than feelings are jokes : Al doesn't have any sense of humor and doesn't even understand how it works, especially if it's second degree.
He's an organized person who always think calmly before acting, making him an efficient leader and fighter. Aloïs always makes sure to stay in control of the situation, else he quickly gets stressed. He hates being contradicted or "disobeyed" and will try to convince people to go his way even if it implies conflict or emotional harm. One of biggest flaw is telling everything going through his mind, hurting people and not understanding why it'd have been better to lie.
Just like during missions, Aloïs loves order in his personal life. He suffers from serious OCDs and is an hygiene freak. His house is always clean and every room is well organized. He likes to align and sort everything; changing his habits upsets him badly.
Because of his control obsession and his responsibilities as a leader, Aloïs is under constant pressure. He has untreated anxiety and always feel guilty when things go out of hand, thinking it's his fault if a mission fails or if anyone gets hurt.
Even if it doesn't show, Al cares about his teammates and relatives a lot. He never hesitates to put his life at risk to help or take care of them, and sometimes shows through acts the benevolence he doesn't manage to express with words.
His major qualities are his honesty, loyalty and integrity. Aloïs is unusually obsessed with law and morals : he tries to play by the rules even when his actions as a superhero are illegal, and would never hurt anyone willingly, even an enemy or a criminal. He thinks everybody deserves a second chance and that this world can be saved.
Aloïs is also known for his strong special interest on clocks. He's obsessed with and has an infinite knowledge on clocks and watchmaking, either in theory or practice. He himself crafts his own clocks (especially when he feels stressed and needs to lock himself in his room) and is quite skilled at it. His creations decorate the Division's headquarters and his bedroom; he's nonetheless very exigent and perfectionist and often thinks what he crafts is trash.
- BACKSTORY
Aloïs is the son of two NASA engineers and grew up with his twin brother Ezra. His father died from a heart attack when they were about 7 : his mother was pregnant and struggled to raise the kids, so she asked for her brother's help.
The uncle accepted to take care of the twins just to live rent free at Lola's house, but he actually hated and mistreated them when his sister was not around. Aloïs was oftenly insulted for being "stupid and weird" and sometimes physically brutalized when he talked back or made mistakes.
The abuse caused Aloïs a lot of stress and fear. The trauma added up to his autism and Aloïs quickly became socially inept. Primary and middle-school were a difficult period because the other kids bullied him and he was struggling to make friends. Fortunately, his relationship with his brother was fusional already and they were always together, supporting each other through the abuse.
Aged 12, Aloïs was locked in the school's restrooms by his bullies who urinated on him, stole his clothes and left him in poor condition in the toilet cabin. When Ezra finally found him out, they came home and their uncle was furious to see Aloïs was filthy; he broke him a rib trying to wash him with a pressure blaster.
Aloïs was left with severe physical and emotional traumas; after this event Lola noticed her brother was an abuser and he was sent to jail. His departured apeased the Marshalls' life a bit but Aloïs started showing signs of school refusal and couldn't study anymore. Because he was mad at his mother for not noticing what his uncle did, he decided to distance himself. He joined a military camp for teenagers so he would make sure to have a professional future despite his academic failure. At first, Aloïs was also bullied at the camp but he finally met his lifelong best friend Arthur who made his life better :
MILITARY FLASHBACK (12-17)
Tumblr media
Aloïs had to leave the camp aged 17 to stay with his brother after their mother killed herself. The twins were emancipated when they turned 18 and started living on their own in the bell tower which became the Division's headquarters later. Aloïs attended school again in order to become a lawyer. Two years later, he joined Ezra and Leanor in the 7th Division and became The Clockworker.
During a mission 10 years before the story, the heroes had to dismantle a branch of the mafia and met a teenager named Roxanne whose power was exploited to kill people. She was forced to fight them and inflicted Aloïs a chemical burn which scarred his face for life. After the team won the fight, Aloïs and Ezra decided to take the girl home and to raise her like a sister. She was very aggressive at first but finally softened thanks to their love and care. Their relationship is now strong and loving.
Aloïs officially became the head of the 7th Division instead of his brother when they were 29. After a mission turned into a tragedy because Ezra lead it while high on Xanax, he left his duties and Aloïs had to replace him. He's still the leader at the beginning of the story.
- PRIVATE LIFE
In his civil life, Aloïs works as a lawyer. He lives in the 7th Division's "headquarters", an old abandoned tower bell which used to be a military hide out.
Aside for watchmaking, his hobby is playing piano and he has a cat named Apo(llo 13).
Nicknames :
The Clockworker
Al
RELATIONSHIPS
EZRA
Tumblr media
Ezra is Aloïs' twin and they are rarely seen without each other. They're extremely fusional and still live together even as adults.
Aloïs sometimes is a "big brother" to Ezra, taking care of and protecting him during his depressive episodes. This responsibility fits his control obsession; unfortunately, he can accidentally hurt him acting too stern or controlling.
Ezra himself caused his twin traumas with his depression and multiple suicide attempts. Aloïs can't live a day or night without thinking of how he could find his brother dead in the morning.
If Ez looks more fragile and dependent, Aloïs actually relies on his brother a lot. He's the only person who can calm his autistic meltdowns/shutdowns and reduce his anxiety. They sometimes sleep in each other's bed when they feel stressed, overwhelmed or have nightmares.
Despite their personalities being polar opposites, the Marshall twins share a lot of common interests such as superheroes stuff (including comics as well as real life missions), fighting or chess.
They couldn't stand being separated and need each other a lot. However, they don't show much signs of affection : Aloïs likes hugs but Ezra is contact phobic and both have difficulties telling each other "I love you".
In the Division, Elizabeth is The Clockworker's right hand and she advises him a lot when it comes to important decisions.
ARTHUR
Tumblr media
Arthur is Aloïs' best friend he met in a military camp aged 13 (see : BACKSTORY - MILITARY FLASHBACK).
Just like Ezra, he's able to calm his anxiety a bit with his benevolence and tranquility. They see each other almost everyday; if they're not in a mission together, they'll be seen having coffee. Arthur and Aloïs could spend hours together not doing anything, just enjoying each other's company. Arthur's the only person Aloïs can talk with for hours without feeling awkward or socially overwhelmed. They both have a total trust in each other and a stable relationship.
ROXANNE
Tumblr media
Aloïs sees Roxanne as his little sister. They met when the twins rescued her from the mafia during a mission. At the beginning, Roxanne was under Jon's orders and fought them, leaving Aloïs with the face burn he still has the scar from.
When they brought her home, Roxanne was at first very aggressive and tried to murder them several times. Love and care finally softened her and her relationship with the Marshalls is now quite fusional.
Despite his distant temper, he never hesitates showing Roxanne affection, often through physical contact such as hugs, headpats or forehead kisses. When Roxanne's having a panick attack or starts hurting herself, Aloïs is the only person who can comfort her. He usually plays piano to calm her then takes her in his arms until she's better.
They sometimes argue because Roxanne is stubborn and keeps putting her life at risk : Aloïs has to prevent her from engaging into suicide missions. Roxanne easily cries when he accidentally hurts her and Aloïs usually feels bad and apologizes shortly after.
Roxanne is one of the rare people who is always able to know how Aloïs feels even when he doesn't show emotions.
CAT
Tumblr media
Cat has been Aloïs' love interest for 12 years. She's officially her girlfriend but their relationship is more complex than just "dating". They argue quite often due to Aloïs' lack of empathy and his inability to express feelings, but also because Cat is naturally invasive and doesn't know how to deal with neurodivergent people nor respect Aloïs' limits.
Aloïs doesn't properly understand how Cat works eventhough they've known each other for a long time; he's not used to interact with people outside the Division, especially people without traumas or disorders.
Aloïs often hurts her psychologically by accident and can't help reproducing the toxic reflexes he was taught with Cat. His control obsession and his brutal directness are a major problem in their relationship. They never work and broke up an incalculable number of times but always come back to each other because they're deeply in love. Both Cat and him suffer from the situation and wish they could and make efforts to fix things.
Because he's socially maladapted, Aloïs doesn't understand when Cat is flirting with or complimenting him, so he doesn't really knows if she still loves him or not.
Cat doesn't know about Aloïs' secret identity.
MYKO
Just like for Cat, Aloïs' relationship with Myko is a disaster. They're in permanent conflict because their respective personalities and neurodivergences don't match. They're not close at all in their private life and a huge part of their conversations revolve around work, are arguments, or both.
Aloïs thinks they're immature and careless; his control obsession also fears Myko's unpredictability. Since Myko is a free spirit who doesn't care much about rules, they often disobey Aloïs or just forget what the plan was, which leads at best to Aloïs getting angry, at worse to failed missions or injuries.
Therefore Aloïs considers Myko to be a threat for the team and suspends them whenever they break the rule, which makes Myko resentful and provocative towards their leader. These provocations annoy Aloïs and are responsible for a vicious circle.
Myko's hyperactivity, noisiness and extrovert personality also tire Aloïs' and trigger his hypersensitivity.
However, he never considered firing them from the team because Myko can be effective and Aloïs still likes them.
They both suffer from this conflictual relationship because they still see each other as team mates and friends. Aloïs always fixes Myko's mistakes, is upset when he accidentally offends them and would sacrifice his life for them without blinking.
Myko would do the same for him but neither of them manages to express it.
A big part of the conflict comes from an absence of communication.
GRACE
Aloïs cares about and values Grace a lot. Their relationship is mostly positive : he's the person who saved her from a suicide attempt 5 years before the story, therefore he oftenly checks if she's okay.
Grace's empathy and kindness make them quite the opposite emotionally but they still have agreeable conversations. Grace has perfectly understood Aloïs is not a talkative person and struggles with social interactions : she doesn't force him to communicate and Aloïs is grateful for it. He sometimes even comes to her when he's lost and needs to have his own feelings explained.
He likes her serene and peaceful personality.
Aloïs also is appreciative of the support she gives everyone in the team, his depressed and suicidal brother especially.
Nonetheless he is, like many other people, sometimes afraid of Grace's powers. He considers telepathy as a violation of his intimity and doesn't manage to trust Grace enough to make sure she won't read his mind without his consent.
ERWAN
Tumblr media
Aloïs' relationship to Erwan is quite tense at the beginning. Since Erwan is mistaken for a criminal, Aloïs can't trust him and gets stressed when Erwan is forced to live with him at the headquarters. The presence of a new, unknown person home also triggers him. His hostility is such that he causes Erwan a panick attack after treating him with emotional brutality.
Moreover, what Erwan thinks and says about superheroes upsets Aloïs and triggers his lack of self-confidence, causing him to doubt and stress even more. Their animosity is reciprocate during the first arc but their relationship evolves later.
As Erwan finds faith in humanity and heroism again, Aloïs starts seeing him as a trustworthy, respectful and respectable person. Erwan's bravery and the altruism he will finally develop are something Aloïs appreciates.
On the other hand, Aloïs is the one to restore Erwan's hope with the strength of his convictions and his heroic actions. He will even grant him a place in the team in the end.
They don't consider as friends but both have respect for each other.
LOUISON
Since Louison is not a part of the Division, they don't interact a lot but their rare interactions are positive. Contrary to Erwan, Louison is someone who helps Aloïs with his low self-esteem. Being a huge fan of the 7th Division, Louison shows Aloïs his efforts are not vain and that people still believe in kindness and humanity.
Louison also is close to Roxanne and makes her happy, which is enough for Aloïs to appreciate her.
As a freelance superheroine, she sometimes helps the 7th Division and Aloïs helps her with her homeworks because they both studied law.

(sorry this is so fugking long aksjsjshjsjsksbsv) when I originally saw the "gar had pushed himself to get up and functional enough to fight against Deathstroke, but is now shutting down from the physical and emotional trauma of the situation" angle from that recent comic (baby cow gar ftw, I won't stop thinking about it) I thought it would be interesting to have him completely mute and not all there, refusing to turn back human in front of anyone but the people he loves and trusts most (he sits with Vic all the time, curled up as a small creature that can be cuddled until he can be his own form and be tucked under his best friend's protective arm, Kory carries him and he hides in her hair or she floats with him so he can be out of reach when he needs the space and once he's in his human form she sits with him giving him the touch he's so starved of through hand holding and hugs, dick gets to talk to him through his long hours about anything and everything so they both can ground themselves and he surprises them both when he turns back and they just keep going) with Raven he turns into small birds that can perch on her shoulder or longer animals that can drape around her neck (it's winter and she gets cold and he can't be the one letting her lean on him for warmth, he's thinking small because he feels so unsafe, it's why he was small when his parents-) the only time he's taking his own form for longer than a few minutes is to make her tea, giving it to her while she snuggles in one of his hoodies, pressing a grateful kiss to her hair when she doesn't press him to stay that way or talk and they sit together (they do that even when he's feeling better and more anchored in his fragile, fallible, all too human form) Also gar for sure has some form of dissociative disorder (source: I have a dissociative disorder and he's my blorbo) and Raven has anxiety, depression and pretty intense anhedonia as a byproduct of her childhood trauma, so they spend their years of figuring things out before getting together learning to be the best support they can be to each other while they're going through their episodes (hope this all makes sense 😖)
YESSSSSSSSS YES YES YES I LOVE THIS.... HES SO... THEYRE SO... GAH
Also gar having a dissociative disorder so true bestie so true (god knows he has enough trauma to develop one after all, I'd be more surprised if he DIDNT) and nonverbal gar.... yeah.... YEAH..... (im partially nonverbal and that. yeah. good)
luckily if he needs to communicate, he and most of the team know at least enough ASL to get by until he feels ready to talk again, but sometimes even that is too much for him and thats okay too
i love this boy... this poor traumatized man... im gonna make him warm soup and wrap him up in a million blankets and give him a kiss on the head 😭😭😭

pls tell us about project sekai we see you guys post about it all the time but all we know is vocaloid rythme game + Tsukasa is a person who exists and probably sings?
so any sort of interesting plot stuff or just weird fun facts would be much appreciated
I put stars next to the people I can elaborate on if anyone cares 👀
(Tsukasa is indeed a person who exists and sings <33333 he is my blorbo)
Okay so the basic premise of the game (story-wise, gameplay-wise it's basically just a standard rhythm game) is that if a person or group of people have strong enough feelings, it makes like a parallel universe called a Sekai. A Sekai is basically like a manifestation of their feelings, and it has vocaloids in it that act like therapists. The story follows five bands and their Sekais.
Leo/Need
Tumblr media
I have never seen a L/N fan
Their music style is rock, and they follow a school theme. Also stars
The basic synopsis of their story is that they were friends as kids but grew apart since Saki (blonde girl and Tsukasa's sister) got sick, and now they want to be friends again and start a band
Members include Ichika (black hair, she's such a flat character I cannot think of a single thing about her personality), Saki (very bubbly, her whole character is basically I'm Not Sick Anymore Let's Do Stuff), Shiho (grey hair, absolute bitch), and Honami (brunette, people pleaser)
More More Jump!
Tumblr media
Nobody likes them either lmao
Their music is basically just. Cutesy pop shit?
The leader of their group wants to be an idol, so she works together with idols who quit for one reason or another to make a new idol group
Members include Minori (redhead, aspiring idol, very clumsy), Haruka (blue hair, Minori's favorite idol, idk I think she has self esteem issues??), Airi (pink hair, tsundere), and Shizuku (light blue hair, Shiho's sister, very dumb)
Vivid Bad Squad ⭐
Tumblr media
They're the gayest bitches here, everyone likes them
Their music style is "street music" which I disagree with but w/e
They want to host a music event that's cooler than a different fictional music event. More importantly, two lesbians get together, team up with two gays, and then the gays break up and cry for several chapters before getting back together. Every story they have is about the lesbians supporting each other or the gays supporting each other. As bros though
Members include Kohane (blonde girl, new to the music scene and a bit shy), An (black and blue haired girl, every wlw loves her, very confident), Akito⭐ (orange and yellow hair, bitch but in a loving way this time), and Touya⭐ (he looks like Shouto Todoroki, very autistic, daddy issues <3)
Wonderland x Showtime ⭐
Tumblr media
Definitely the most popular group
Theatre kids <3
A bunch of gay people want to help Emu (pink hair) keep her grandfather's theme park going, so they form a theatre troupe. Their main antagonist is their various mental illnesses and capitalism
Members include Tsukasa⭐ (blonde boy, scrungly, definitely has NPD and autism/pos, forgot most of his childhood because trauma, makes looking after his sister his entire personality, loud bitch, omg), Emu (very peppy, imagine Pinkie Pie is a high schooler), Nene (green haired girl, gamer, has social anxiety, another tsundere), and Rui⭐ (purple and blue hair, social outcast, very into robots and explosions)
Nightcord at 25:00 ⭐
Tumblr media
Nightcord being Discord and 25:00 being 1 am. Which. Mood. My favorite unit
They get the #broken music <3
A bunch of depressed teenagers form an online band, and now they're attached and are trying to cure each others' mental illnesses through the power of codependency and love
Members include Kanade⭐ (white hair, autism personified, savior complex), Mafuyu⭐ (purple hair, gifted kid syndrome, also very autistic), Ena⭐ (brown hair, pspspsps Seth you wanna kin her so bad /hj, has an inferiority complex, another tsundere, Akito's sister), and Mizuki⭐ (pink hair, basically canon transfemme 😳, stop repressing your emotions bbgirl)

ENTRY 184
I found this pic and wanted to explore what it says.
Of course, I don't believe healers are limited to being only female, but I do believe as healers, they all need protectors regardless of gender.
I wanted to do a little reading and share what I was able to gather from multiple sources about the healer/protector dynamic because it truly is a marvelous one.
First off, how do we identify healers and protectors whether in ourselves or someone else? Here are some of the most common traits reported.
HEALERS
1.) Feels the pain of other people; extreme empathy present.
2.) Strangers may open up to them rather easily.
3.) Vivid dreams, daydreams, or visions.
4.) Innate or natural need to help others.
5.) Can be overwhelmed by (large) crowds.
6.) Emotional due to high sensitivity.
7.) Most likely spiritual.
8.) Struggles with anxiety.
9.) Faces depression.
10.) Excellent discernment of the energy of people around them.
11.) They are the ones to turn to for comfort.
12.) They love any object with healing properties.
13.) Often seen as the mediator.
14.) Feels exhausted after social events.
15.) Most have experienced trauma that changed their lives.
16.) Wise.
17.) Compassionate and nurturing.
PROTECTORS
1.) Maintains order.
2.) Strong sense of duty and responsibility.
3.) Meets commitments reliably.
4.) Honest.
5.) Firm and forthright.
6.) Always seeks justice.
7.) Possesses good judgment.
8.) Often seen as the advisor.
9.) Provides support to loved ones.
10.) Assures safety from perceived and actual threats.
11.) Dependable.
12.) Thorough.
13.) Loyal.
14.) Observant.
15.) Mature.
16.) Intelligent.
17.) Sharp.
Now, do I think these lists hit every single point? Nope. Do I think there's some stuff missing? Yup. But, it's still a good starting point in my view.
~A Few Things that Healers and Protectors Have in Common~
*Healers and protectors have different roles but the same goals: finding ways to make the world a better place.
*A healer is one of your tribe, one of your people that helps you survive, as is a protector.
*Healers and protectors are strategic.
Another side note that captured my attention is that it can potentially be dangerous for a healer to bring in anyone else but a protector into their personal space or place of refuge on a deeper level.
People often assume that healers fit better with broken people because that's what they often attract. While they certainly have the heart to take the challenge on, a protector would be better because while broken people take (not always maliciously), protectors shield and rejuvenate.
The healer/protector journey of companionship, with their unique energies intertwined, offers a full spectrum of a wholesome experience between two human beings. They can both learn and grow from one another. Healers remain ever present and awake to energy and the spiritual aspects of being. Protectors are hyper-aware of the physical world. Together, they're a dream team going against the tide.
Healers have been compared to the Divine Feminine and protectors to the Divine Masculine and it really is a beautiful thing to see how they can work together. What they create and build is multifaceted, displaying both strength and softness.
There is also a spiritual and physical balance in the healer/protector dynamic. Within this incredible balance, they can introduce one another to the other aspects of life they often miss or overlook. They help each other reach certain places and they even educate one another as well.
It's pure alchemy, especially when the communication between them is open, honest, and true.
While healers provide a protective force, protectors are the fighters. Both are important, both are necessary, both can thrive in each other's company. Healers are the water and protectors are the rocks. Water is powerful enough on its own but can be held and filtered by rocks, making the quality of the water that much more refreshing.
It's been mentioned a few times how they help or assist each other. I feel that's vital for the world we live in today where the majority may not understand what these two go through. Protectors and healers can continue to help each other with awareness, simply know where they're at in life.
Healers are consistently vulnerable and underserved. But they are not an object serving as an endless source of comfort. Protectors are pushed, tested, and dehumanized. But they aren't objects with no emotion, just meant to endlessly guard. They each have their own needs and need to be safe and reassured when getting those needs met. They can help each other accomplish this with ease.
More thoughts later.

Experts praise Olympic gymnast Simone Biles’ mental health honesty: ‘Conversation is critical’
Paul Doyle
CTInsider.com
July 31, 2021
Simone Biles stepped away from Olympic competition and into a debate about what it requires to thrive at a high level of athletics.
Biles, citing mental health concerns, withdrew after struggling on her vault Tuesday. Support came from all corners, but Biles has also been forced to explain and defend her decision.
On Friday morning, the most talented gymnast in the world used her Instagram account to further explain her decision.
“For anyone saying I quit … I didn’t quit,” she wrote while answering questions on her Instagram story. “My mind & body are simply not in sync.
“I don’t think you realize how dangerous this is on hard/competition surface. … nor do I have to explain why I put health first. Physical health is mental health.”
And that’s at the center of Biles’ decision. Her sport requires peak concentration. Any psychological or emotional disruption can result in disastrous — even dangerous — results.
Biles, 24, has talked about the pressure associated with being the face of her team, her sport, and the Tokyo Olympics. The four-time gold medal winner at the 2016 Olympics, Biles carried enormous expectations into Tokyo.
She has also dealt with trauma. Biles shared three years ago that she was abused by former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar.
The other component? The Tokyo Olympics, delayed for a year because of the pandemic, are unfolding in empty venues. Athletes accustomed to performing before large crowds and with the support of nearby family are competing in isolation.
However the factors mixed, Biles was not in an optimal mental or emotional place.
So she stepped away.
“She made a very common sense decision,” said Stamford clinical psychologist Reid Daitzman, who has worked with athletes for more than 40 years. “Her mind and body were just not prepared for what she wanted to do. And she could have really hurt herself. I really respect her for the decision. I can’t imagine what it was like making that decision. But you really have to be aware of your body. A good athlete is always aware of their body.”
Daitzman said an athlete’s “optimal level of arousal” is the unique place where emotions during performance and competition are high — but not too high.
Biles, Daitzman speculates, knew her OLA was off.
“She made the correct decision not to proceed even though people who have never been exposed to that level might have said no, you’ve got to keep doing it,” he said.
Greenwich sports psychologist Amy Tardio, who works with college athletes at all levels, said athletes who reach Biles’ level recognize when they are mentally or emotionally distracted.
Athletes competing in a team sport can rely on others to compensate when they are not at peak form. But gymnastics, in particular, is a lonely venture — and it’s unsafe to compete if the mind and body are not aligned.
“You have a sport where the consequences and the degree of difficulty of her performance have catastrophic consequences if she’s not mentally there,” Tardio said. “So I think we have to respect her as an individual, as well. And I think that’s one of the issues with mental health — each individual, each individual athlete … Everyone's different. Everyone is human.”
How do athletes recognize when pressure and stress is unbearable?
Dawn Shadron, UConn’s director of student-athlete counseling and mental health services, said the school’s staff works to identify signs of distress.
“Our work focuses on identifying the source of their anxiety or stress and breaking it down into manageable chunks of information and examining what is and what isn’t in one’s control,” Shadron said. “We work to develop effective coping mechanisms to use ‘in the moment’ and identify additional supports the athlete can utilize while taking those next steps.”
Daitzman began working with athletes in an era when sports psychology was in its infancy. His client list has grown from high school and college athletes to professional athletes and those training for the Olympics.
Fast forward from his work in the late 1970s to a time when the conversation about “sports psychology” extends beyond performance. Mental health — the impact of competition and preparation and pressure — is very much part of the conversation.
“We’ve come a long way,” he said.
Said Tardio, “The conversation is critical. And I think the athletes and their peers are embracing it … the conversation alone is probably a first. These are very strong, successful, accomplished, determined athletes that are opening up these conversations and they’re willing to stand there and even feel the backlash of what that means.”
Shadron said that while the focus on mental health has increased over the past decade, the sports world remains at the “earlier stages of this discussion.”
“Fortunately the voices of these prominent athletes have amplified and advanced those discussions in important ways,” she said.
Indeed, Biles is just the latest high-profile athlete to speak about mental health. Naomi Osaka, one of the top tennis players in the world, cited her emotional health when she withdrew from the French Open and skipped Wimbledon. Michael Phelps, the most accomplished swimmer in Olympic history, has talked openly about depression.
Former UConn basketball player Breanna Stewart, among the best in the world, praised Biles for speaking out.
“Mental health is real and making sure that you’re in a good mental state of mind isn’t always the easiest thing,” Stewart said. “And especially here at the Olympics, you see that everything is heightened. The pressure is heightened, the pride is heightened, the wanting to represent your country and do everything you possibly can do to win is everywhere. I think for us as athletes we feel that and it’s making sure we have a happy balance.”
The change is immense, especially among the best of the best — Biles, Osaka, Phelps and Stewart have reached the highest level in their sports.
“Simone Biles has recognized her power and utilized her voice and her visibility on this world platform in a way that is inspiring and empowering others,” Shadron said. “The more that professional athletes can lead and live by example reduces stigma and promotes the importance of attending to one’s mental health as we do our physical health.”
The shift is generational. Shadron works with a population of athletes comfortable speaking about mental health, people who prioritize the emotional component of athletics.
“Discussion of mental wellness, good nutrition, coping mechanisms for managing stress, having a good sleep plan, good study habits, creates a sense of normalcy and supports a culture of well-being,” Shadron said. “The earlier we engage in healthy discussions about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, the better.”

Therapy For EMDR In Oakland Park, FL
Tumblr media
Your body will say what your mouth won’t say, and you will continue to feel depressed because of what you suppress.
Many of us have mastered the art of suppressing, denying and ignoring traumatic experiences, because being vulnerable may be viewed as weakness, and has never felt safe. There are instances wherein traumatized individuals feel ashamed, alone in the world, and they tend to minimize their suffering. Unprocessed traumas may manifest as: • anxiety • chronic pain • depression • gut issues • lack of sleep, numbness, • social isolation • people-pleasing • recurring toxic relationships • self-hate and chronic shame • unwanted intrusive thoughts, disturbing dreams
In other words, individuals with a traumatized brain often experience symptoms associated with past traumas on a daily basis. Therapies such as EMDR which was developed in the 1980s by Francine Shapiro, a professor at UCLA during her attempts to treat PTSD. EMDR stands for eye-movement, desensitization and reprocessing. EMDR has been very successful in allowing the traumatized brain and body to process traumatic memories naturally, eradicate negative core beliefs and release trapped toxic stress.
EMDR incorporates movements, or bilateral Tapping, and is used to facilitate overall healing. Our therapists are intentional about screening everyone to determine if this form of therapy is ideal to address the issues that are being presented. We have had much success with our use of EMDR to eradicate:
• Anxiety • Depression • Negative core beliefs, • Chronic pain, • Grief anxiety • Self-Sabotage
EMDR requires consistent attendance, mutual trust between therapist and client, and a commitment to doing the work that is necessary to build up a tolerance needed for processing. An EMDR session typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes and the overall effects after each session tends to be positive. One cannot determine with certainty length of time for treatment sessions as it is dependent upon the individual’s overall progress.
You will be in control during EMDR sessions, and are invited to advocate for yourself, and set boundaries as needed during processing. Our team members who specialize in EMDR therapy will guide, support you, and ensure that you are able to receive maximum benefits.

Ketamine Infusion: Transforming Lives Affected by PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often occurs after experiencing or witnessing traumatic events such as combat, natural disasters, accidents, sexual assault, or violent crimes. Traditional treatments like psychotherapy and medication have been helpful to some extent; however, many individuals continue to struggle with managing their symptoms. In recent years, ketamine infusions have emerged as an innovative and highly effective PTSD treatment in Orange County and other parts of the country. This article explores how ketamine infusions are transforming lives affected by PTSD.
Tumblr media
PTSD and Its Symptoms
Before delving into the world of ketamine infusions, it's essential to understand what PTSD entails. The disorder manifests through various symptoms, including avoidance behavior, nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, depression, emotional numbness, and difficulty sleeping. These symptoms can significantly impact one's daily functioning, relationships, and overall quality of life. While traditional therapies and medications have proven beneficial, they don't work for everyone. Moreover, these treatments may take weeks or months before any noticeable improvement is seen.
The Science Behind Ketamine Infusions
Ketamine, an FDA-approved anesthetic since the 1970s, has shown great promise as a rapid-acting antidepressant and PTSD treatment. Unlike conventional antidepressants that target serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine receptors, ketamine acts on NMDA glutamate receptors in the brain. By blocking these receptors, ketamine allows increased communication between neurons, facilitating neural repair and promoting new synaptic connections – a process known as neuroplasticity. As a result, patients experience significant relief from PTSD symptoms within hours rather than waiting several weeks for oral antidepressants to kick in.
How Ketamine Infusions Work for PTSD Treatment in Orange County
Intravenous ketamine infusions involve administering low doses of the drug directly into the bloodstream over approximately 45 minutes. Patients typically receive six sessions scheduled twice weekly followed by maintenance appointments every few weeks based on individual needs. During the session, patients enter a dreamlike state characterized by mild dissociation and altered perceptions but remain conscious throughout the procedure. Afterward, most patients report feeling relaxed, calm, and optimistic about their recovery journey.
Research supports ketamine's efficacy in treating PTSD symptoms. Studies suggest that repeated ketamine administrations promote long-term changes in brain function associated with improved mood regulation, reduced fear responses, and enhanced cognitive flexibility. Furthermore, evidence indicates that combining ketamine therapy with trauma-focused psychotherapies can lead to even better outcomes, making ketamine infusions a valuable addition to existing PTSD treatment options in Orange County.
Choosing a Qualified Provider for Ketamine Infusions
While ketamine infusions hold immense potential for transforming lives affected by PTSD, choosing a qualified provider is crucial to ensure safety and effectiveness. Look for clinics staffed by licensed medical professionals trained in administering ketamine therapy specifically for mental health conditions. Reputable providers will conduct thorough assessments prior to initiating treatment, monitor vital signs during each session, and collaborate closely with your mental healthcare team to develop a personalized plan tailored to your unique needs.
Conclusion
For those living with PTSD, finding lasting relief from distressing symptoms can feel elusive despite exhaustive efforts using traditional interventions. Fortunately, ketamine infusions offer hope for transformation and healing. With mounting research supporting its use and inspiring stories from countless individuals who have benefited from this revolutionary approach, ketamine therapy stands poised to revolutionize PTSD treatment in Orange County and beyond. If you or someone you know struggles with PTSD, consider discussing ketamine infusions as a viable option alongside established therapies with your mental healthcare provider.

Breaking the Taboo: Open Conversations on Sexual Health

Aspire Heal, a leading clinic in Dwarka, understands the importance of fostering an environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns.
