a new way of conceptualizing mental health. The creation of the ladder stems from two main things.
The first being in the mental health field for a long time and feeling as though clinicians were falling short. Not due to any fault of their own but due to the way in which mental health was taught and conceptualized.
The second being a need to simply and clearly convey what I see as a glaring hole in our mental health world. to simply convey the path forward.
The ladder is a flow chart that describes the reasoning for the development of the skills that we have, how those skills turn to maladaptive self inflicted wounds and how to teach ourselves to climb back down the ladder back to ourselves.
The world teaches us to leave ourselves but never teaches us how to0 come back home.
The ladder is your map back home.
