A text post on a white background with black text. The post is a thoughtful metaphor comparing therapy and treatment to fixing a broken car when you're on a road trip. ​Text Content: ​Here's a thought I had about how therapy & treatment works (vs how many people imagine it works). This is based on my experience with depression and chronic illness, but I hope it applies more broadly as well. ​Imagine you have to take a road trip on a deserted road alone. Halfway through the trip your engine starts to splutter and the car breaks down. What do you do? ​A lot of people imagine that therapy and treatment is like calling a mechanic to come and fix your car for you. You make the call, and then you just have to wait around until the mechanic has fixed the problem, and your car is good as new! Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. There is no on-call mechanic. No-one is able to fix this car except for you. ​Instead, it's like you pull a toolbox out of the trunk, pop open the hood, and dial up the mechanic on the phone. You have to try and describe the problems as clearly as possible, and follow the advice they give you as well as you can. ​Sometimes you won't understand the advice, and you'll need them to explain it again or suggest something else. Sometimes you'll do what they say and the car still won't run, and they won't be able to explain why, only give you something new to try. Sometimes you'll think you fixed the problem and start driving, and the car will break again two minutes down the road. No matter what happens, it's going to be hard and messy and frustrating work. ​But at the end of it, not only will your car be running again, but you'll know how to fix it now. Which isn't to say that you'll never need another mechanic again, but next time you get stuck, it'll be that little bit easier to handle. ​So keep at it everyone, and good luck on your journeys!

Larvikite, also called Norwegian or Black Moonstone, is a grounding stone connecting you to Earth's energy. As a skull, it will aid meditation and shadow work. Geologically, this monzonite gets its silver-blue shimmer (schiller effect) from feldspar crystals. #crystals #crystalskull #witchsky
A carved and polished crystal skull made of gray and black larvikite is held in a hand wearing a black glove. The stone displays its characteristic silver-blue flash. The background is a blurred, bright setting of green foliage and reddish-brown leaves.

This was one of my favorite star beings when around. In a place where art is around all the time now. The crystal skulls choose where they want to be, I'm mostly a caretaker while some are here.

I'm slowly re-adding things to my etsy! Hoping to move to my own website soon but for now I'm still there. Here's a cool chlorite quartz specimen where there's so much it turned the quartz green 💚 🌳

#crystals #quartz #witchy #chloritequartz
This double terminated quartz has chlorite inclusions, which makes it a light forest green color. This one is naturally double terminated on many of the points going in all different directions.

Having a place that looks calm and inviting can definitely help. And I just did that with my living room table! I'm definitely going to work on the space I sleep in next.

Brown Jade Koi on Waves Carving

When I first started learning about crystals, I thought Jade was only green! But I like all the other colors too when I can find them. A lot of things will say jade when they are dyed quartz of some kind.
