There Is No New Epidemic of Adult Children Going ‘No Contact’ With Their Parents

All the talk of whimsy is a great excuse to make art and not care how it turns out or support an independent artist. Our friend Star drew this from the neck down and asked what we should add for the head. My bf said Andy Garcia I found that so delightful I DMed her to say “if you do this, I’ll pay”

Here is a thread where I do an overview of tools style shadow work as much as I can do so without actually walking you through it!

So in this thread, I’m gonna paste all the videos I can that walk people through the tools. Most will be too long. But some will be short enough.

If a client didn’t do their homework, unless some big life event got in the way, that is on me. I either assigned the wrong thing or approached the assignment in the wrong way, using the wrong kind of motivation or applying too much or too little pressure.

But I think a healthy creator is always moving on, moving forward, challenging themselves, not too attached to anything they’ve done in the past. Coogler is doing that too here, working under completely new parameters!

I feel like the right attitude to have on an artistic idea you are more or less done with, or done with for now, is Chris Carter’s “ I’m not hearing anything about Ryan Coogler’s X-Files because I want to enjoy it.” Helps that he’s making money of course-

Playing and experimenting is a huge part of how I get people to fall back in love with the art form they chose (or the art form that chose them!)

Just a reminder that I work with partnerships and groups. Whether they’re romantic, work or creative partnerships- or even improv troupes. Yeah, even improv. Even the one guy in the group who does an old timey radio voice when it’s not called for.

Working my ass off to promote my business because I’ve been feeling better for a while, but let me just say advertising all feels like bullshit, everything but my actual coaching feels like bullshit and the job title feels like bullshit and I wouldn’t be surprised if anyone thought it was bullshit.

Sorry for substack link, but I have to share this old article to new people because I have to unpin it before my dad's book comes out- he fears others will read articles like this, think we didn't resolve our issues, and bring it up in interviews? substack.com/home/post/p-...

“She’s hitting every benchmark out of order and I love it!” My friend said of her new baby, having no idea how much the “and I love it” bit would heal part of my soul.

Rather than holding expectations, set aside time when you are allowed to meet none. No obligations either. No responsibilities. Do this repeatedly, with loved ones whenever possible, and one of those times will be one of the best time of your life.

Therapists (and other coaches who specialize in things that I don’t!) I am actively building my referral network! I need more: - International therapists or therapists outside of California - People who work on a sliding scale or have sliding scale rates - Therapists in the US who take insurance 1/

If you’re skeptical of coaching, totally get it, see a therapist! But please, please, please don’t use a chatbot instead of either!!

I think sometimes when people struggle to pick battles others give them more battles than they can pick. It’s not fair but I think it’s a thing. (Have no scientific proof of this just anecdotal.)

If you need validation and new systems for dealing with a new disability or chronic illness I have the life experience to understand the basics of what you're going through and wherewithal to know our experiences aren't remotely the same, but some systemic issues will be similar.

Still have people reacting shocked that I do not actively use any AI. I’m sure it’s still coming across my feeds, worming its way into my search results that don’t include an AI generated summary, etc. But I don’t seek it out. I don’t feel like I’m missing out at all? (& I’m disabled as well)

Hana Michels (Coaching Account) @sparkcoaching.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Sometimes I have to remind artists they didn’t go into it for the money because that’d be so delusional I’d have to recommend a therapist. Coaching can’t reach that level. They loved making art at some point & can again.

Yes, the tools methodology I was trained in was inspired by Carl Jung. Yes, it's the same guy that inspired Jordan Peterson. But like most of the early figures in the field, Jung's like a Jesus figure for psychologists- he can inspire good AND evil depending on who's interpreting him.

I can’t help change someone’s mindset unless they know what mindset they want & what works for them, but most people do- it’s just that it takes decades of work & just when you think you’re done working on yourself you have to realize you likely just turned something inward outward or vice versa!

Good job! They may rear their head again when it comes to stuff like crypto or polymarket It’s important that you don’t listen but try to figure out how they got there and how it applies to your current life since they are re-emerging!!

Because I'm a coach, not a therapist, I steer clear of making any mental health conclusions except suggesting therapy may be applicable. But what I can see constantly are the different systemic and personal ways society has absolutely fucking failed my clients.

Most of my coaching job amounts to reminding people of what they already know, but don’t yet believe. Most of these things are positive or neutral, most of us are more than willing to believe bad things in a second even if untrue. Like, think about which comments you zone in on if you post something

Neurotypicals perceive time typically. Those of us with ADHD perceive time as that snake eating its tail thing…ouroboros? An ouroboros and we can pinpoint exactly where we are located on the infinite loop of snake it just doesn’t correspond to any human measures of time or calendars. It’s venomous.

Both characters are refugees who likely would have trauma, though Guinan has had more time than most human lives since, she often acts like a ships counselor when Troi’s not around. It was enough to take me out of it for a second. Like the unhinged flirting scene she had with Riker.

Like, it’s more like “I think you’ve become used to this” or “I think you’re afraid of connection because it’s proven dangerous in the past” than “you like it”
