Naked Bird Watcher

the Naked Birdwatcher

“The Naked Bird Watcher” is a book that I wrote all about my experiences of living with a mental health problem and self harm. But it’s more than that ( I hope!) it’s about living. We all have a hand of cards dealt to us and it is how we play that hand that determines the route our own particular life will follow.

Yes, I have bipolar disorder but I equate that with having a positive attitude, good reliable friends, a sense of humour (?) and realistic goals for the future.

So why did I write it? I suppose it started off as a cathartic exercise but, after I had nervously shown the opening chapter to a few close friends they encouraged me to continue and 18 months later “The Naked Bird Watcher” was done and dusted.

I am a Social Worker in the US Army.  I am currently working with a teenager who is in Foster Care and has had an absolutely horrible experience in life thus far.  She is an amazing young lady with a profound ability to overcome her difficult start in life.  I am constantly amazed by her resilliancy.  She finds alot of healing in music and loves to sing (she has a wonderful voice).  I have downloaded your album as a gift to her and I am certain she will love it.  I want you to know that you are helping other young women in their healing.  You have an amazing gift in your voice and your lyrics.  Thank you for sharing your pain and healing with others! I can only imagine that you are as special as the young woman I am working with.  I find it very uplifting that some people can find a way to rise above such pain and soar to such great heights.  I would love it if there was some way for you to speak to her or write to her someday.  If not, rest assured I will share your music with her and it will help her healing.  Thank You again!  Keep doing just what you are doing.  I'm so blessed to have happened on the link to your site while searching for therapy tools.  I will repurchase your album over and over to share with any future clients as a support to you.  You have my deepest respect and gratitude for your uplifting, healing spirit and your willingness to share yourself to help others.

Speaking out

I know that I found it really hard to say how I felt and thought when things were really bad - so if you feel that any of the lyrics in our songs are about how you feel or think -  you could copy them down and show them to someone like a doctor, teacher, member of your family or a friend.   That might be easier to start off with than trying to talk about it yourself.  Hope this helps

Playing acoustic is about as punk rock as you can get, in my opinion! It’s SO raw and visceral plus you’re not hiding behind any effects – it’s just us, the guitars and the music.

What can I say? It must have been fate. About three years ago I was looking to start a band and found myself answering Suzy’s ad.
