Kerry! I almost remembered to come to Neika's sit this morning but the new doggie was pulling at my sleeve to walk right then. See you soon

You lovely person you, thanks for the laughs this morning V! This all sounds very smart and entertaining to me, which is per usual for your witty voice. I’m so glad you trust it.

Ps. You’re right. Much better to hang out with dogs, but what can we do when we call ourselves writers we have to write something, so might as well make it fun and full of surprises as you always do.

Vanda, you probably know the books by Dr. Gabor Maté? And you also probably did work with plants from the Amazon, or mycelium of fungi (truffles), containing bio-chemical 🙈 substances which were used for healing all over Europe and other places?

Especially used for healing trauma as the underlying cause of addiction.

Somehow healing emotional pain was against the narrative of the church (suffering to get into heaven), so these healers were often called witches and got burned at the stake. During the Dark Ages and the still rather dark Renaissance, up to today.

Gabor Maté puts it this way, based on his experience: „Not every person with trauma develops an addiction, but every person with addiction has experienced traumatic events“.

Thanks Alisa. So funny. Two of my greatest resources. You must be psychic.

Well, in a way I am 😉, working as an intuitive transformational coach I rely a lot on perception beyond our limited five senses.

Besides, so happy to have found you Vanda, and your writings!
