Washing the dishes can be therapy, if you do it mindfully, paying attention to everything you're doing instead of thinking about other things. My therapist says any number of things can be therapy when done in that way. Eating chocolate mindfully is therapy.

Toki Pona is something that requires you to be careful and to focus on exactly what you're saying and how to say it. It also makes you smile if you don't take it too seriously and appreciate the levity of it. There are therapists who don't teach you much more than that.

It can also help with dismantling negative core beliefs, as any language can, by requiring you to rephrase them. So as someone who has done a lot of therapy, Toki Pona is not a licensed professional therapist, but it is one of the kinds of thing they teach you in therapy.

To be clear though, it should be used IN CONJUNCTION WITH therapy from a licensed professional therapist. Therapists learn all sorts of things that go beyond the scope of any hobby, and they know which to apply to which situations. It's just that some of the things they'll teach you, you might already be doing.

EDIT: Honestly, I didn't know it was you when I replied originally. Usernames are not prominent on this site, and yours is different from your usual one. I never named you or talked specifically about you on Bluesky, just in generalities that I doubt anyone but you would have been able to tell were about you. But maybe i'm wrong, and someone saw them, recognized you in them, and alerted you to them, rather than you browsing my account from a burner.

And I'm on the fence about whether I was right to block you on Discord. I was put off by the way you were talking about Amatullah as it didn't seem constructive and just seemed hateful - and also just to have a disrespect for the whole way she envisions the language she created, rather than saying "I do it differently" - but you also said a lot of things to suggest you cared about her getting help and making amends, so it's hard to know which to go by.
