Kintsugi Method For FSA Recovery
Where clinical research meets the art of Kintsugi for
identity repair and restoration of the Inviolate Self.
Two Decades of Forensic
FSA Research
Begun twenty years ago, my FSA research represents a lifelong commitment to decoding the systemic and biological impact
of Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA).
The Kintsugi Method for FSA Recovery is the clinical
and spiritual culmination of over thirty years of data,
lived experience, and the pursuit of core Wholeness.
This unique holistic pathway is based on the
Mandeville Theory of Systemic Identity Architecture™(1998)
Heal From The Outside-In™
A holistic path of identity reconstruction
and ‘true self’ integration.
- The Kintsugi Method of FSA Recovery™ (The Vision)
A holistic path of identity reconstruction and ‘true self’ integration.
- The Identity Reconstruction Framework™ (The Science)
Clinical research applied to the reclamation of your core biological reality.
- The Self-Restoration Framework™ (The Action)
Practical tools for evicting the scapegoat narrative to realign with your “Native Truth”.
