What lies within us…
The Amaverimus Project
-
The Amaverimus Project is based on the idea that love conquers all. By creating an army of like-minded individuals willing to suffer with others out of love in a pay-it-forward-and-backward fashion (people I call “Compassionists”), the ripple-like changes throughout the world will turn the tide toward connection and growth among humanity. That’s the hope, anyway :)
Philosophy: Everything that’s worth anything is based on connection. The path to connection is paved with honesty, compassion, and hope. At the end of that path is the lock of knowledge on the door of the enemy, which we can unlock with the help of unconditional positive regard. That lock’s key is forged by actively listening and seeking the good in all things – even the enemy – and embracing, enhancing, and encouraging that good. If we make it through the door, we reach self-actualization on the other side, and can finally make meaning out of our suffering, together.

Videos-on-demand will be produced and compiled on YouTube, and will make flash appearances on Tik Tok and Instagram. Video content will include mental health tips/tools, PSAs, check-ins with me (Nicky), reframing various concepts with compassion, a podcast demonstrating listening to others with compassion and unconditional positive regard, and a self-compassion demonstration via a fictional DND series starring me, myself, my other self, also me, another me, and Nicky. None of the videos are any type of therapy or therapeutic encounter, nor are they a substitute for professional therapy services. For therapeutic services, please search your local listings on Psychologytoday.com, or call 9-1-1 (in the U.S.) for immediate medical emergency services.

Livestreaming via Twitch will take place on a regular basis. These will be short streams (1-2 hours) consisting of talking, demonstrating mental health tools, mindful activities, and community games. Schedule upcoming! None of the livestreams or VODs are any type of therapy or therapeutic encounter, nor are they a substitute for professional therapy services. For therapeutic services, please search your local listings on Psychologytoday.com, or call 9-1-1 (in the U.S.) for immediate medical emergency services.

Ultimately, a counseling practice may be born out of this project. If so, it will be focused on compassion for all (including the mental healthcare professionals) and will work to provide employment opportunities for those starting in the mental health professional field.
