Chronically Under and Over Touched™: The Hidden Politics of Control, Neglect, and Human Connection

Completed Manuscript

Chronically Under and Over Touched™ is the foundation of an evolving canon that explores touch as a spectrum of possibilities—including presence, absence, proximity, regulation, intimacy, neglect, attention, and control.

Rather than limiting “touch” to physical contact or institutional care, this body of work examines how touch is structured, withheld, distorted, performed, and experienced across personal, social, and systemic contexts.

Through narrative, systems analysis, and lived experience, the canon traces how touch shapes identity, trust, connection, and self-understanding in a world where closeness and distance are often governed by power, policy, and social design.

The Touch of Deceit: The Standard of Care™

Foundational Outline in Development

The Touch of Deceit: The Standard of Care™ is an active work-in-development that builds directly from Chronically. This project examines how institutions perform care while structurally producing distance, harm, or denial—particularly through policy, procedure, and professionalized standards.

The book interrogates how “care” becomes a managed performance rather than a lived ethical practice, and how individuals and communities are left to absorb the consequences of that deception.

This work is central to the evolving canon and actively shaping its next phase.

Works Under Consideration

The following titles represent conceptual inquiries currently under discernment. They are not yet active manuscripts, but remain part of the broader imaginative and philosophical landscape of the canon.

The Touch That Refused to Arrive™

An exploration of proximity without presence—what it means to be acknowledged without being met, and how deferred connection reshapes expectation, trust, and self-protection.

SurrenderMe™: It Takes Heart to Live!

A reflective work on intimacy, self-trust, and emotional presence, examining how love, discernment, and spiritual alignment are lived in a world shaped by performance and distraction.

These projects remain open—held without urgency, allowing clarity to emerge before commitment.
