Long before I became The Connectionist, I was a child carrying a universe of feeling in a world that didn't know what to do with it. In December 2007, two months after my mind fell apart on the floor, the child started writing letters. Every reply ended with: Love Deeply, Clark. Nine kinds of unqualified, but the only one willing to sit and feel the ache with others. Across the top of that original site, I wrote one line: "Relationships come from connection. Connection is the key to healing." Today, I'm sharing the journey of how that feeling child became the power source for everything Sherry and I teach and live: https://clarkkent07.wordpress.com/2026/07/26/from-clark-kent-to-the-connectionist/
