Feel Secure, Bounty When Satisfied
Set a bounty on resolving your issue: pay only when you feel satisfied.
I’ve helped agentic individuals unlearn lifelong insecurities, anxiety, and self-loathing. Snippets from people who resolved lifelong issues with me even they couldn’t resolve any other way:
I used to get triggered by very small things that some of the people surrounding me would say or do… would incapacitate me for 48 hours… Now I just laugh
I don't feel my life or my relationship is in crisis anymore. Things feel light and hopeful.
Expressing [romantic] attraction feels fun now.
Periods of flow in everyday life are more frequent and reliable than ever.
One of my new friends said, “You're so adventurous.” That shocked me… If you were to ask my high school friends that’s not a word they would use.

About the approach
I do not teach skills. I help unlearn the insecurities, anxieties, and self-loathing that cause almost all social and romantic issues. My approach draws from predictive processing, Alfred Adler, and a lot of independent research:
@ChrisChipMonk, San Francisco, incentive alignment, unhinged social events, AI alignment, and more. Why did I start this?
