I live in Montana and make zines, art, write, play music, and for my day job I am a therapist in a school. I am also an activist, organizer, and community idea maker. I constantly explore questions like: How can creative people use their powers for the common good? How can advocates, helpers, and change makers avoid burnout and find revitalization in their work? Is healing justice possible, and if so, what is it made of? How can I maintain a sense of wholeness as I struggle to survive in broken systems and a decaying world? (Cheerful, I know).
Aside from advocacy work and art, I am also a huge nerd in many other ways that you'll get to know as I post here! :) With all this blended together.... I do consultant work and offer counseling. I am about to gain licensure (LCSW) in my state, and am working toward opening a private practice.
I hope to use this space as a wild ground to post my writing and art! I want to be kind of unconstrained at times, and experiment as much as possible. I also want to explore and learn here. I have been so blown away by Steemit so far, and am scrambling to catch up and understand this place because it appears to be just the kind of community I have been looking for.
I will probably blog about my therapy/consulting/social justice work as well. I look forward to finding like-minded souls, and I look forward to having my perspective changed by people who are totally different than me, too.
Sincerely,
DFlo
