In this reflective piece, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks explores the origins of their expertise as a gestalt language processor, moving beyond standard professional credentials. Dr. Hoerricks challenges the societal expectation to provide external validation or academic proof to justify their specialised knowledge. Instead of offering a defensive argument, she focuses on personal lineage and the internal coherence of lived experience. By prioritising bodily memory and authentic self-understanding, she seeks to situate knowledge within a non-traditional framework. Ultimately, the writing serves as a declaration of intellectual autonomy for those whose ways of making meaning do not fit into standard systems.
