TELL as a Safe Harbor
Those most at risk of becoming prey are not personality disordered
but are well-built ships battered in high seas
and then attacked by pirates disguised as therapists.
With a safe harbor discovered, most can restore themselves
as the creative, intelligent and otherwise capable people they are.
