One of many manifestos

We hold these truths to be truths that shall never be let go, we hope you never need any evidence that these truths are anything but the truth. But then again, who are we? To tell you. Anything. Would you like to join us? Chaos isn’t just a theory. Chaos is good therapy.

1. We believe that counseling/psychotherapy is a process that can be improved daily.
2. We believe that strategy and creativity is the basis of implementing more effective, efficient, and helpful methods of activating the patients own internal healing process.
3. We believe that each client is a unique individual whose strengths should be celebrated and exploited within the process of healing.
4. We believe that arbitrary distinctions between various theories and psychological frameworks are only valuable if backed by volumes of research that supports a particular theory as being the "best" for a specific type of client or problem. This is known as eclectic electric shock treatment.
5. We believe that consistency and complacency are two fine destroyers of innovation and progress. In short, trying new things is the best way to get new results.
6. We believe that counseling/psychotherapy should and can be a fun explorative process that should and can give significant results and rewards for both client and clinician.
7. We believe we can revise our manifesto and our treatment strategy and our minds as we see fit any time we want to.
8. We believe in guerrilla mental health warfare. We train constantly to become more effective spys, saboteurs, and assassins of all that contributes to negativity, depression, war, and/or a myriad of other behavioral and physical health disorders. Thus the mental and physical are one in the same and we are working toward a day when our world has no need for counseling/psychotherapy because each person has the resources to solve their own problems.
9. We can be as many imaginary and real friends as I can stick a fork in.
