I believe we all have the capacity to choose to be a "lifelong learner"
This belief rests on my personal and professional experiences working in and around schools for over 15 years.
Common areas of treatment
1) Increase Academic Engagement

In the summer of 2023, a three second window opened while I was driving my 2015 Subaru Forester westbound on I-80, Omaha, NE. My bite size SUV crested a hill at the exact moment a full-sized, 400-lb semi wheel (see pic above) - from a back dually position - catapulted over I-80’s center barrier headed directly towards the midpoint/center
In the summer of 2023, a three second window opened while I was driving my 2015 Subaru Forester westbound on I-80, Omaha, NE. My bite size SUV crested a hill at the exact moment a full-sized, 400-lb semi wheel (see pic above) - from a back dually position - catapulted over I-80’s center barrier headed directly towards the midpoint/center of gravity of my Forester’s front hood.
The impact forcibly compressed my spine, the airbags torched my left wrist, and a piece of shrapnel from the impact perforated my right ear drum.
This accident became the unexpected catalyst for the EARTHQUAKE THERAPY Practice Handbook.
Needless to say, I feel incredibly fortunate to be alive to document the therapeutic reflections/practices within EARTHQUAKE THERAPY.

By a stroke of well-timed luck, I set a personal intention approximately 2 weeks BEFORE the traffic accident. I did not know at the time, but setting this intention was a drastically meaningful life decision.
To ensure my human brain was triggered like Pavlov’s dogs’, I created a recurring appointment on my work calendar (Monday-Friday) so I would notice & repeat the intention (below) multiple times daily.
THE INTENTION =
“I Live with Love & Compassion.”
To document the results & creative side effects of the above intention, I texted myself messages (yes, you are reading this correctly… texts from myself to myself). Simply put, the EARTHQUAKE THERAPY Practice Handbook is a list of in-real-time reflections of present tense moments within the context of my own post-traumatic psychological growth AND necessarily includes input from various members of The Family Krick.

When I put on my professional hat, I work as a licensed mental health therapist heavily influenced by my current experience as a husband/parent & past experience as a competitive athlete.
In therapy sessions, people sometimes ask me for advice when they face various life scenarios... The people I work with are surprised when I respond with the following phrase, “My professional role is to not give you advice... rather to walk alongside & support you as you experience the consequences of your thoughts, emotions, and behavioral habits.
Long story short, this handbook is intended to function as the first official “advice” I have ever produced for mass consumption & evidence that it is possible for us to use states of openness, vulnerability, courage & creativity as tools for improving ourselves (and our relationships with significant others).
We are all forged by "the human experience" - it is my personal and professional belief that therapy happens when we become more mindful of how our present moment (i.e., being) interacts with our past experiences & emerging experience (i.e., becoming).
From a behavioral health perspective, each day presents us with opportunities to learn. It’s truly up to us whether or not we acknowledge our moment-to-moment experiences as learning opportunities.
