Hello and welcome! My name is Arrington McCoy, and I am glad you are here. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Cambridge, MA, in private practice working with adults and couples. The predecessor to Human Becomings, was Collective Wisdom, which is housed within this website. This collection was born out of a period of searching and sadness in my own life. After marinating my heart and mind in the wisdom of the wise, I came out believing that joy and sadness can be bedfellows, that conflicting truths are perennial, and that progress is a widening circle—not a line. The heart is broken and healed by human connection. The heart is also broken and healed by our connection to self. As writer Brian Doyle says in his exquisite essay Joyas Voladoras, “We are utterly open with no one in the end—not mother and father, not wife or husband, not lover, not child, not friend. We open windows to each but we live alone in the house of the heart.” This needn’t be a dismal thought. Alone needn’t be lonely. One of the most joyful parts of getting to know yourself is in fact, being better able to fling the “windows of your heart” open wider to others. I believe that each of us has something core and essential that is the foundation to our being. And as the name “Human Becomings” suggests, I also believe that who we are is a process of continuing unfolding. As my own unfolding continues, I hope to connect with others through a variety of modalities. If any of these resonate with you, please be in touch. https://human-becomings.com/therapy daily 0.75 2024-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9c4f0adab661163c9880f6/1604675298865-O7BIO5QJCW8K2Z87UU4C/IMG_2201.jpeg Therapy - Reach out Please be in touch with questions or to schedule a consultation. https://human-becomings.com/concepts daily 0.75 2020-11-08 https://human-becomings.com/resources daily 0.75 2021-02-01 https://human-becomings.com/poetry daily 0.75 2021-08-25 https://human-becomings.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-09-02
