Today’s episode explores the transition from resisting external definitions of the mind to establishing a positive, self-contained identity for gestalt processors. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, argues that defining oneself solely through critique and opposition to clinical frameworks is ultimately unsustainable and limiting. Instead, the focus shifts toward recognising gestalt consciousness as an inherent, naturally coherent architecture that exists independently of societal standards. This perspective moves beyond viewing neurodivergent experiences as mere workarounds or deficits, reframing them as a meaningful way of being. By returning to this internal "ground," the individual finds a sense of home that no longer requires the labor of constant defense.
