greetings

Hi to all! Hopefully i can convince family and friends to have an Uptrust account. New here as of today just creted my account. Have a great day!

Introduction to who I am. My name is Paul Leverich.

I’ve lived enough life to know that most people only show you the highlight reel. The clean parts. The filtered parts. The “I’ve got it all together” parts.

That’s never been me.

I’ve walked through loss, pressure, mistakes, reinvention, faith, doubt, rebuilding, and starting over more times than I can count. I’ve learned that growth is rarely pretty. It’s loud. It’s lonely. It’s sacred. It’s stubborn.

I’m a thinker. A builder. A question-asker. A man who refuses to stay small just to make other people comfortable.

I believe truth matters. Integrity matters. Discipline matters. Healing matters. Legacy matters.

I’m here to talk about real life. Business. Spirit. Strategy. Pain. Purpose. Systems. Survival. Becoming.

No masks. No fake perfection. No borrowed personalities.

Just perspective, progress, and honest conversation.

If you’re here to grow, rebuild, and think deeper than the surface, you’re in the right place.

Welcome.

love, boundaries, and mistakes in relating, community, and peopling together (+ thank god love doesn’t look like you expect it to)

HI from Wichita Kansas!

Hello World! Hello All, glad to be here, Happy Holidays!

Welcome to this Group! . Good to have you here!

Hello humans. . Is there an instructions page on how to use Uptrust? I don’t understand the little buttons below the posts/comments.

Also what is the purpose of Uptrust? It seems like a text chat forum, is this correct?

My therapist says... if you have a disorder (I’d call this an undesired response + occurring regularly), don’t apply any strategies, any self-regulating methods to meet the stimulus. Don’t try to lower the fear. Any safety strategies will likely keep it in place.

When you do any kind of method you tell your nervous system this is truly dangerous. You need to show your primitive brain that this isn’t dangerous: I don’t have to do anything.

…

This feels so right in me. What a relief actually!

It feels related to what Jordan said earlier, that naming safety creates feelings of unsafety, making us more aware of what could go wrong.

Similarly, naming trauma encourages people to feel into their traumas, leading to distress…creating the opposite of what is intended.

Showing up to a disorder with a strategy is like an invitation to experience more of it.

What do you guys think?
