Empowered to move forward – Craig Childress , Psy D

The pathogen isolated you from rescue by creating forensic psychologists – a sub-specialty field… just for you.

No other pathology has their own “special” psychologists who do something different, who don’t diagnose and don’t treat pathology. Let that sink in… they don’t identify the problem or fix it.

What good are they? A: None.

The pathogen gave you bait to seduce you into squandering your efforts and energy in useless fighting and fighting that never solves anything… by giving you the WORST possible diagnostic model for a proposed “new pathology” unique in all mental health of “parental alienation”.

The pathology created forensic psychology to isolate parents from rescue. The pathology created the construct of “parental alienation” as bait for parents to exhaust your efforts into unproductive fighting.

Wait… Dr. Childress, are you saying a pathology has motivation? Yes. No other pathology seeks to be the pathology. ADHD doesn’t want to be ADHD, schizophrenia is not trying to remain schizophrenic. This pathology is seeking to exist – it needs to exist – it has motivation.

How? Because the pathology is an attachment pathology. The attachment system is a primary motivational system of the brain. The coherent set of damaged information structures in the attachment networks, damaged by trauma that remains unresolved, have access to our motivations.

The pathogen can make us do things we don’t realize we’re doing.

The pathogen has three defenses. No other pathology has defenses seeking to maintain the pathology against its resolution. This pathology does, it defends itself, it wants to exist, it needs to exist.

1) Hide. This pathogen’s first defense is to hide. It hides extremely well.

2) Seek Allies. This pathogen seeks allies who will enable it to exist (and remain hidden).

3) Attack Threats of Exposure. This pathogen attacks any threats of exposure with great viciousness to put target on the defensive.

I’ve fixed that. I’ve exposed the pathogen from hiding – diagnosis – I’ve identified in professional-level constructs what the pathology is.

I’ve identified its allies in the forensic psychologists and Gardnerian PAS “experts” – it’s not enough to simply identify the pathology, we must also identify the pathogen’s allies who enable it. Without its allies, the pathogen becomes powerless.

I’ve endured its attack… and I’m still standing. It’s our turn now to attack the pathogen and put the pathogen on the defensive. The moment it has to defend… it’s exposed from its hiding.

The pathogen is exposed on attack. I’ve created a situation where it MUST attack or else it will be identified and removed. I’ve created a double-bind for it, if it doesn’t attack Dr. Childress, I will be expose it, and if it attacks… it will expose itself.

It’s a pathogen – a coherent set of damaged information structures in the brain that cause a pattern of pathology. See the patterns and you’ll see the pathogen that creates them.

The pathogen’s only choice now is to avoid encountering the anti-pathogen of Dr. Childress and my work. It doesn’t even want to acknowledge I exist, because the moment it does… it’s all over, it’s exposed from its hiding and everyone sees it.

But it will be unable to avoid the encounter with Dr. Childress and the anti-pathogen of AB-PA because I’m already into the mind-scape. Truth is truth. Truth will out.

I’m not your warrior, I’m your weapon. I replaced your impotent “parental alienation” thing with something effective, something powerful – diagnosis and the established knowledge.

I’ve made you dangerous to the allies of the pathogen. Knowledge is immensely dangerous to ignorance, especially when the binding sites of ignorance are required – required – by ethical standards to apply knowledge as the bases for professional judgments.

I’ve boxed it in. It has no escape now. Forensic psychology will collapse and “parental alienation” will disappear from professional-level use. Clinical psychology has abandoned you – because the pathogen has made itself too dangerous to your allies to be here.

The pathogen isolated you from rescue. That’s our next step, we need to get you quality professional services in the family courts, competent mental health services for you and your children, and an accurate diagnosis for the court’s decisions surrounding the child and family.

When I found you, you were all going round-n-round in endless circles of continual conflict. I put us on a linear path. We are moving in a direction. We have reached the point of collapse, the Tower of Destruction that lead to rebirth.

The dysfuntional systems are collapsing into their dysfunction. For the Phoenix to rise from the ashes, there must be ashes.

I needed to have everything completed by the time the Dying Time came in 2020, the Sacrifice needed for entry. I was on the list of those to be sacrificed, it was coming for the old, it was a culling of the herd of the old and vulnerable, I was part of the herd it was culling.

I didn’t know if the coming sacrifice represented by the Dying Time was for you or included me. It was yours, I was able to successfully dance with invisible death and I survived.

But going in, I didn’t know if I’d be coming out, so I had to have everything completed by the time the Dying Time of the sacrifice arrived.

Now everything is done. You have everything you need. Plus I’m still here for a while to help with your transitions, at least for as long as I’m here. I dodged death in 2020, but the doorway remains just up ahead. It’s the way of things to transition out so others can transition in.

I’ve done my job. Now they need to do theirs. You are more powerful than you know.

You’re the protective parent. I know that and you know that.You just need support. You have support. It’s time to live into your power.
