The Espresso Shot is a mixture of lifes greatest challenges and its greatest experiences. It is a self-help book that transmits the core framework of complex experiences in a manner that is easy to understand. In doing so, The Espresso Shot is a book of poems that allows the reader to move through his or her own events in a new way in an effort to bring greater understanding and awareness.
The Espresso Shot came into creation as a means to heal myself. I believe finding one's own creative outlet is a doorway to unlocking and healing oneself. This small book has been years in the making, and the timing of its finalization (2015) is a reflection of the transition in which I am making in my own life. When I graduated from University, I was lost. Looking back over the years this time period was the deepest part of my 7 year "dark night of the soul".
When I graduated from University I had no job, the job market was abysmal, my parent's violent divorce just ended, I was learning about my codependency after a break up, I was healing from trauma through EMDR, and I had no money. Through these last 7 years, I was not always aware of this, but I have been on a quest to find myself after a traumatic childhood. I grew up in the archetypal alcoholic family. The father, an alcoholic/addict, the mother, the quintessential queen of control and denial. This is also called narcissism. It took years to realize these personalities were a reflection of their own unhealed trauma, but I can only see this through the processing of my own anger. As such, my life's goal has been the realization of the authentic self.
I began writing poetry as a way to save myself. My Aunt, a person who literally saved my life, suggested I write as a way to process and learn. As she so kindly put it, "you are looking for a savior." I have always been keen on creativity, but it was only during these dark times could I realize its depth. Every time I wrote a poem I transmitted the lesson I needed to learn. I didn't write consciously, all the words were processed from a deep reservoir. The only conscious actions I made were choosing to recognize when I had a poem inside of me waiting to be written.
The central pains of my life revolve around shame, fear, rejection, and abuse. Through these last three years I have continually let go of these
Within the last year I chose to finally leave my family. Being connected with my family linked me with my own state of needing "more." I climbed the administrative ladder, and I realized I yet again attracted an abusive and coercive environment. But I tell you now that there is always a way through. Climbing this ladder gave me resources to a wonderful healer through my work benefits. It was here I was shaken out of denial. We wake up when we are ready to wake up. Up to this point I had written hundreds of poems, and thousands of journal pages, each entry helping me to get to the next step. After months of therapy I met the love of my life. A central theme to my poems, and my ambitions, was to meet the one I truly love. I knew deep down that I would find this person when I found myself. With the departure from my family I was open to finally living my own life, and healing in a new way.
