Bureaucracy seeks predictability, yet psychotherapy was built upon a disciplined engagement with uncertainty.

The year of the Ghost Ant

I turned 27 today. That means I've now spent four years in the doctoral programme and am exactly 365 days away from professional disgrace and having my credentials quietly revoked in a humiliating end-of-cycle formality they call 'declassification'.
