I have to admit I'm pretty excited about it, this has all been whirling around in my head for almost 30 years. We'll have an entirely new language in which to discuss scapegoating and recovery that bypasses โ€˜splittingโ€™; commonly held myths; and comforting but erroneous tropes.

Yes yes and yes.

Powerful reframe moving from archeology to architecture. The distinction between identifying systemic harm versus actually reconstructing identity after it is the piece I see most survivor-focused spaces miss, they get stuck in Stage One grief work without a map forward. I've been throgh similar patterns in other trauma contexts where naming the problem feels like progress until you realize you're just cataloging ruins. The Kintsugi metaphor for visible-yet-healed cracks makes so much more sense than pretending the breaks never happend.

Glad you see where I'm going here. My 1998 theory (Mandeville Theory of Systemic Identity Architecture) - along with 20-plus years of research on what I eventually named 'Family Scapegoating Abuse' (FSA) - plus my own experience of severe FSA in my FOO - supports the 'Kintsugi recovery' program I am currently building and will launch later this year. It is for the few, not the many, but I know there are people out there who will recognize and benefit from what I am offering: A non-binary, non-split, systemic-based, holistic way out of the archaeological dig into the rebuilding of a sovereign, 'Object-Oriented' life.
