Economic Restructuring and Governance Transformation: In-Depth Exploration The economic and governance systems in place today are often founded on extractive models—systems that prioritize profit, power, and control at the expense of collective well-being, social equity, and ecological sustainability. These systems tend to function through top-down, hierarchical structures, where conflict is avoided, and problems are addressedContinue reading “Economic Restructuring and Governance Transformation: In-Depth Exploration”

FCP & MIT: A Universal and Multicultural Bio-Psycho-Social Approach to Mental Health & Emotional Wellness
Refining the Bio-Psycho-Social Model of Mental Wellness with FCP & MIT The Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT) offer a universal and adaptive model of mental wellness by integrating biological, psychological, and social factors into a single, cohesive framework. Unlike traditional Western psychological models that often pathologize distress and treat symptoms inContinue reading “FCP & MIT: A Universal and Multicultural Bio-Psycho-Social Approach to Mental Health & Emotional Wellness”
Beyond Rigid Thought: How FCP & MIT Revolutionize Intelligence, Healing, and AI
Beyond Rigid Thought: How FCP & MIT Revolutionize Intelligence, Healing, and AI FCP and MIT Solves Problems for Both Neurodivergent and Neurotypical Populations: The Problem with Top-Down Therapeutic Models for Neurodivergent Populations Traditional top-down therapeutic models, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other structured cognitive interventions, operate under the assumption that thoughts drive emotionsContinue reading “Beyond Rigid Thought: How FCP & MIT Revolutionize Intelligence, Healing, and AI”
The Intersection of Mysticism, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)
The Intersection of Mysticism, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT) Author: Isha Sarah SnowDate: March 2025 Abstract Mysticism aligns with both Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT) by offering a non-dual, relational approach to conflict resolution, self-integration, and systemic transformation. Mystics perceive unity where society enforces division, making theirContinue reading “The Intersection of Mysticism, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)”
How FCP Rewires Conflict Processing from Childhood
FCP has the potential to create environments that “program” children’s minds to develop intrinsic conflict resolution skills as adults by shaping their early neural pathways, emotional regulation, and social conditioning in a way that makes cooperative, integrative conflict resolution their default state. I. How FCP Rewires Conflict Processing from Childhood Neuroscience shows that early relationalContinue reading “How FCP Rewires Conflict Processing from Childhood”
Autistic Cognition as a Natural Resistance to Cartesian Dualism: A Functional Conflict Perspective Approach
Autistic Cognition as a Natural Resistance to Cartesian Dualism: A Functional Conflict Perspective Approach Abstract René Descartes’ mind-body dualism established the foundation for hierarchical thought in Western civilization, reinforcing the separation of mind from body, rationality from emotion, and elites from the masses. This framework permeates governance, education, and social organization, producing top-down, control-based structuresContinue reading “Autistic Cognition as a Natural Resistance to Cartesian Dualism: A Functional Conflict Perspective Approach”
The Earth as a Living, Breathing Sentient Being: A Unified Framework of Gaia Theory, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems
The Earth as a Living, Breathing Sentient Being: A Unified Framework of Gaia Theory, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Human civilization has long debated whether the Earth is merely an inert rock floating through space or something more—a dynamic, self-regulating, and even sentient entity. By integrating Gaia Theory,Continue reading “The Earth as a Living, Breathing Sentient Being: A Unified Framework of Gaia Theory, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems”
From Descartes to the Double Empathy Problem: How Dualism Shaped the Pathologization of Neurodivergence
From Descartes to the Double Empathy Problem: For centuries, Western psychology has assumed a normative model of social cognition, defining communication and empathy through neurotypical standards. This framework has pathologized neurodivergent relational modes, positioning autistic communication styles as deficits rather than valid, alternative ways of engaging with the world. But where did this bias originate?Continue reading “From Descartes to the Double Empathy Problem: How Dualism Shaped the Pathologization of Neurodivergence”
Comparing Mirror Integration Therapy (MIT), Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Stephen Hawking’s Theory of Everything (TOE)
Stephen Hawking, a renowned theoretical physicist, spoke extensively about the “Theory of Everything” (TOE), which he described as a single, unified framework that could explain all fundamental forces and particles of nature. His work focused on reconciling general relativity (which governs large-scale structures like galaxies) with quantum mechanics (which governs subatomic particles). Hawking believed thatContinue reading “Comparing Mirror Integration Therapy (MIT), Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Stephen Hawking’s Theory of Everything (TOE)”
Common Denominators: Unifying Science, Spirituality, and Systems Theory into a Unified Theory of Everything
Imagine that everything in the world is connected, like puzzle pieces that form a big picture. Now, there are two ways to help fix the world when these pieces are out of place. One way is through Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Therapy (MIT), which are science-based methods. FCP looks at how societiesContinue reading “Common Denominators: Unifying Science, Spirituality, and Systems Theory into a Unified Theory of Everything”
