A 'recovering psychologist,' in the words of Bayo Akomolafe, is a wanderer at the margins of conventional mindscapes, engaging in an audacious journey to unshackle the intricacies of human cognition and emotion from the confines of rigid scientific dogma. This brave soul is one who grapples with traditional methodologies, daring to spill ink beyond prescribed boundaries in a quest to reclaim the poetic, the enigmatic, and the ineffable dimensions of the psyche. They are both cartographers and renegades, mapping out territories where the wild, untamed tendrils of human experience flourish. Their healing practice is an act of rebellion, a shimmering dance that embraces the fragility, complexity, and interconnectedness of existence, rejecting reductionism in favor of a symphony of narratives, symbiosis, and profound, untethered sensing.
