Dr. Bessel VanDerKolk is so real for this:

“82% of the traumatized children seen in the national child traumatic stress network do not meet diagnostic criteria for PTSD…

…They now receive pseudoscientific diagnosis such as ‘oppositional defiant disorder’, meaning ‘this kid hates my guys and won’t do anything I tell him to do’”

(The Body Keeps the Score, 2014)

one of the things that i wasn’t sold on about the body keeps the score is the primacy put on feeling safe. first becuz like……idk politically(?) i don’t trust or support safety, in part becuz of how much damage prioritizing feeling safe has done to every single marginalized community i know, in part becuz feeling safe depends on a lot of bullshit, you can feel safe while in mortal danger if you’re ignorant enough too, and if i have one blanket dictum for humanity as a whole it’s that willful ignorance is never the right choice. but also like. what does safety mean. i know in the context of the book vanderkolk means physiologically, the calming of physiological fear arousal systems. but like….idk. that’s like. only reliable really for the situation of being in a safe place but unable to convince your body of such. being legit in a dangerous place due to everything about society and infrastructure etc but unable to convince your body that this is not a saber-tooth tiger prowl and therefore the fear-arousal will not help save it is…..different. like, not different in that the fear and stress and trauma is actually going to help or be useful in any way but still different. instead of safety (no harm is imminent) i just feel like the constellation of powerfulness (you will outlast the harm, or the harm isn’t that scary, or the cost of avoiding the harm makes eluding it not worth it) is like…..better??? maybe i’m just ignorant and bodies do not know how to create this response physiologically. maybe the feeling of real safety is something i have never experienced and so idk what the baseline is? but ehhhh

Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives.

PDR NE OKUR? | Bessel A. Van Der Kolk - Beden Kayıt Tutar ° ° - Shakespeare bu dilsiz dehşeti, Machbeth'de kralın ölü bedeni bulunduktan sonra şöyle ifade eder: "Korku! Korku! Korku! Ne dil ne de kalp seni anlamaz, seni adlandıramaz! Karmaşa artık şaheserini ortaya koymuştur!" - Bu kitapta ruh sağlığı alanında öncü çalışmalara imza atarak pek çok ruh sağlığı probleminin travma kaynakl�� olduğunun kabul edilmesini sağlayan bir nörologun çalışmalarından ve başarılarından bahsediliyor.

Czytam właśnie #Peter #levine, który również mówi o pamięci ciała. Mówi o niej jeszcze bardziej dogłębnie niż #vanderkolk Czytam i weryfikuję własne doświadczenie. Zaczynam mu wierzyć. Zaczynam na nowo rozumieć i przyjmować, że czasem terapia nie wyleczy, tylko nauczy żyć z tym, czego wyleczyć nie można. Nauczy żyć z mentalnà, duchowà, emocjonalnà protezà. Bo nie wszystko wiem i prawdopodobnie, nie poznam całej prawdy, którà w sobie noszę. Czy jestem w stanie to zaskceptować??? Żyjemy w czasach, w których nam się wmawia, że jak chcemy, to możemy. Ja uważam, że jest to kłamstwo takie samo jak to, że nie jesteśmy nic warci. Obydwa kłamstwa, ale tak bardzo popularne…. Uważam, że poznawanie własnej historii może trwać całe życie, jednak poznanie całości jest sprawà dyskusyjnà. #uwalnianie się, natomiast od tego, co nam się przytrafiło stanowi dla ów akt wolności, gdy podejmuję decyzję by zrobić tyle ile w danym momencie mogę. #studentkadramaterapiilondyn #dramaterapeutkamonika #psychoterapia #wolnośćwyboru #prawdaifałsz #kłamstwo #mojeżycie #zdrowie #zdrowiepsychiczne https://www.instagram.com/p/CS8pEmSMna1/?utm_medium=tumblr

"The 'night sea journey' is the journey into the parts of ourselves that are split off, disavowed, unknown, unwanted, cast out, and exiled to the various subterranean worlds of consciousness... The goal of this journey is to reunite with ourselves. Such a homecoming can be surprisingly painful, even brutal. In order to take it we must first agree to exile nothing." -Stephen Cope || some spiritual practices call the 'night sea journey' shadow work. Both are great names for the process of unpacking your shit. It's like cleaning the fridge, it's not fun but it's so much better after, and it'll grow so many awful things if you're not paying attention. Be kind to yourself while you do it, meet yourself as and where you are, expect it to be uncomfortable. It won't happen faster if you're yelling about how it should have happened already. Go listen to Homecoming with @dr.thema for beautiful advice on coming home to yourself. Stay tuned here for Launch Week next week, keep eyes for extra witchy shit on the Patreon. Be actively anti-racist or don't talk to me. ☆ #patches #patch #blackandwhite #lineart #exilenothing #stephencope #jung #psychology #shadowwork #shadowself #shadow #itsalright #benice #handmade #embroidery #backstitch #thebodykeepsthescore #vanderkolk #psychologyreads #calico #minimal #blackthread #hangedman #thehangedman #thehangedmanreversed #riderwaitesmithtarot #riderwaitesmith #tarot #witchy #witchpatches (at Dunedin, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5PM4op3U-/?igshid=17icsme3a27f2

[bioethicists]

hi a lil bit ago i asked u abt antipsych readings and i wondered if ud answered it or if u were just taking a while/not gonna (which is understandable! big question). only asking bc if u did answer it i cant find it

omg yeah sorry!! i actually havent answered it yet because i wanted to be thorough + i'm also not particularly well read in the "foundational" antipsych texts. most of my own writing on the topic comes from expanding the logic of critical medical anthropology (which i am well read in), general structuralist/anarchist critiques, and my own experiences as a psychiatric survivor. my guess is that a foundational understanding of crit medanthro would bring u a lot closer to understanding where i'm at than most antipsych stuff- crit medanthro looks at how diagnostic categories are formed based on experiences, how those categories exert and wield institutional power (and cause harm), and the cultural precedents and products of those categories

however, there have been a few foundational writings for me:

history of madness, birth of the clinic, madness and civilization (and all other writings) by foucault- note that i find him almost unbearably dense but i've been told by a french speaker that some of this is just translation issues- if it's too much for you, i would read stuff that cites or summarizes his stuff, and if u can read french, read it in french

asylums by irving goffman- literally changed my life as a 17 year old- the first time i was ever exposed to the idea that inpatient facilities might have existed to control me and not to Help me

black skin white masks by fanon- not anti psych per se bcuz he fails to make the extra step towards abolition (probably bcuz he was a psych himself)

protest psychosis: how schizophrenia became a black diagnosis- i might have mistyped that title

trauma and recovery (hermann) + the body keeps the score (vanderkolk)- also not anti psych per se, but accurately identify the failings of western psychiatry and track the history and political violence of Diagnosis

healing the soul wound by duran- alternative perspectives on healing from an indigenous therapist

anti-oedipus: capitalism and schizophrenia + a thousand plateaus by deleuze and guittari- also very dense

iirc, you were interested in the work of radical therapists and healers! i suggest the work of laurence kirmayer (psychiatrist), eduardo duran (therapist), frantz fanon (psychiatrist), and gabor maté (physician, i can't say i agree w/ his opinions on adhd tho, for what that's worth)

camille rxfraud's masterpost for anti psych. i hope that someday i can link my own writings, as well!

[greyeyedmonster-18]

“the odds of existing are slim, so the odds of you and I existing at the same time must be next to impossible and I think that’s beautiful. Maybe the universe does work in my favour after all, because I got the chance to know you.”

- Keira vanderkolk

[somesimpleton]

The very thing that distinguishes us both is that I wouldn’t hesitate to choose you in every lifetime, but you wouldn’t even choose me in this one.

And although I gave you my flesh and bones, I know I cannot love you into loving me.

So there you are overflowing with my love and here I am pleading for a droplet of yours or whatever I could salvage.

But there must come a time where you recognize that to grieve someone hurts a lot less than forcing them to be a part of you.

And I know I should not beg for love, but just once I wanted someone to be afraid of losing me.

— Keira Vanderkolk, “For Once I Wanted Someone To Be Afraid Of Losing Me”.
