When we are learning from every experience—positive, negative, or neutral—the pain, the time, and the energy spent suffering is not wasted.
We provide acute insights to engage, curiosity, inspire reflection, and motivate, thinking and behavior that, with appropriate attention, results in healing and reduction or cessation of pain.

Handbook for Humans is not therapy, and Silver Sage is not a therapist. We follow industry ethics: your privacy is paramount unless you tell us you’re in danger or plan to endanger. If you are seeking therapy, please choose a certified, licensed expert with specialty in your area of need.
If you are not sure, please ask.

Accept what cannot be changed, pour love on The Pain, and do your best to heal, maintain grace, and keep moving forward without judging, blaming, shaming, criticizing or damaging anyone - especially not the self. Learn what needs to be learned, remember, choose, and
do better next time.
We teach clarity, self-possession, and self-determination.
We Teach what we’ve learned.
For over fifty years, I’ve been fighting the same battles you are fighting right now. I grew up with the same performances, pretenses, lies, and double standards. None of it ever worked for me. I found a way to live that I could live with.

Our Philosophy
My Promise
I will honor and respect myself and all others at all times and ask you to do the same. I will never ask you to be anyone other than who you are. I will never ask you to say or do anything I have not said or done, or would not say or do myself. I will question and ask you to question, examine, and experience who you are. I will challenge your mental habits, your thinking, your stories, beliefs, and behaviors with reliable persistence and dogged tenacity—and I will ask you to do the same.
Silver Sage: Mystic Misfit, Scapegoat, Healer
Qualified
I understand malignant narcissism.
I know what it does to us. I also know how badly it hurts,
how hard it is to live with, and to admit. But here I am,
against all odds, a Scapegoat risen, a Black Sheep healed.
If I can do it, so can you.
First Hand Training and Experience
Handbook for Humans is the result of a lifetime of
learning to Heal The Pain and Live in Peace with The Self.
It’s simple. It’s real. It’s true, and it works.
Like anything else that matters, you get out what you put in.
No one is asking you to lay down your armor.
The world is insane. We need our defenses, but we do not need to always be armored up, hyper vigilant, and hyper-defensive. It’s exhausting! With knowledge, and awareness, Forewarned is Forearmed. We have weapons and tools and choices
about when and how to apply them.
Do what comes naturally.
Focus on the self.
Question. Experiment. Explore.
Learn. Choose. Heal. Grow.
Become someone you love.
Origin of The Work
In June of 2015, a devastating car accident blasted my neck and lumbar spine. My body developed CRPS—a rare, hard to diagnose, incurable, auto-immune affliction featuring 24/7 forever pain. Everything doctors did and prescribed made it worse. In eight weeks, life as I’d loved it was over. I became disabled. CRPS doesn't usually kill you. It does make you think about it. A lot. I spent the first four and a half years in literal screaming agony. Two after that in ‘recovery.’ I just wanted The Pain to end. The Universe had other ideas. My journey to hell and back yielded a treasure - Handbook for Humans - A Codex for Feeling Good, Healing, and Learning To Be Love - to initiate and support wellness through Self Awareness, Truth and Choice. I’m Here. It works.
