You are not “Crazy”

I have a lot of clients say things along the lines of, “I just want someone to tell me I’m crazy.” Or, “I wish I was normal.”

There is no such thing as normal. And there is no such thing as crazy. We are all doing our best, navigating very complex brains, surrounded by lots of other very complex brains, in a very complex would.

You are not crazy, you are learning to cope with the particular complexity of your brain, and to exist within your own unique experience. “They” are not normal. Who are “they,” anyway? Who are the alleged normal ones? I’ve never met them.

Everyone struggles, and fails, and freaks out sometimes. We are all, quite simply, humans, with the ability to learn to manage the chaos in our heads.

Every brain is beautiful and different - life would be pretty boring if they weren’t.
