The Enlitens Interview is more than a clinical tool; it is a complete philosophy of care, built on a foundation of unimpeachable science and a radical commitment to validating the human experience. We have deconstructed our entire model into four core pillars. Explore them below to understand the “why,” the “what,” the “how,” and the “now what” of our rebellion.
The foundational manifesto of our rebellion. We deconstruct the broken, pathologizing system and lay out the scientific and ethical argument for a new, more humane way forward. This is where we burn the old map.
The unshakeable, evidence-based bedrock of our work. We translate the complex neuroscience of trauma, neurodiversity, and healing into clear, human language. This isn’t opinion; this is the physics of the human machine.
The step-by-step, “how-to” of the rebellion. This is our rigorous, repeatable, and teachable system for facilitating insight and creating change. This is the engine of our clinical practice.
Insight without action is just a nice idea. This is your field manual for the trenches. We provide practical, actionable tools for navigating a world that was not built for you. This is where the rebellion gets real.
Take one second. That’s all I’m asking.
Do not try to “calm down.” Do not try to “fix it.” Do not listen to the voice screaming that you need to do something right now.
Just be here, with me, for one single breath.
My name is Liz. I’ve spent years working overnight in the ER, sitting with people on what was often the worst night of their entire lives. I have sat in the eye of the hurricane, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that the chaos you feel right now is not the truth.
It is a storm in your nervous system. And a storm is just a weather pattern. It is not you. It is not permanent. And you do not have to navigate it alone.
Right now, your brain’s alarm system is screaming. The logical part of your brain has been taken offline. That is a normal, brilliant, biological survival response. But you and I are going to bring it back online, together.
We are going to do one, simple, physical thing. This is not a bulls*hit mindfulness exercise. This is a direct, manual override for your nervous system.
Place your hand on your chest.
Can you feel that? The rise and fall. The rhythm. That is the anchor. That is the proof that you are here, in this moment, and you are alive.
Keep your hand there.
Now, we are going to make one choice. The storm is telling you there are a million overwhelming things you have to do. That is a lie. There are only three choices right now, and you only need to pick one.
This is the button you push when you need the paramedics or the police to show up. This is the “bring the fire truck” button.
This is the national, 24/7 lifeline. It is free, it is confidential, and it is staffed by trained counselors who are ready to listen without judgment. This is the “I need a lifeline” button.
Behavioral Health Response (BHR) is our community’s lifeline. They provide free, confidential telephone counseling and can connect you with local resources. This is the “I need a local guide” button.
