@makeitBUtiful I agree that movies and tv aren’t real life, I just think it’s important to look at the relationships themes and role we’re conditioned to see as normal or healthy. We grow up watching these shows, so it’a worth being conscious of the dynamics.
@ManySaintsgood I have, and am definitely aware. Just pointing out some heavy conditioning in culture. Nothing wrong with these shows (I like and watch them) just good to lift the veil.
This fanart is exceptional. Thank you for sharing @TheoriumToken!
@GillianCanWrite No, balloons. Not as exciting
Can we at least agree on this: that as a society we need to move away from a mental health system that privileges pathologising & medicating our emotional pain, towards one that foregrounds psycho-social-relational understandings & interventions in the management of distress.
Depression can be a response when things don't do right. But there's that quote, "Depression is just aggression turned inward." Sometimes, I think a better response is aggression. Get angry at the situation. Because anger can drive you to find a new way around the obstacle.
If you’re serious about healing trauma, I recommend reading Radical Acceptance by Dr. Tara Brach.
The worst thing about alcohol might be how it prevents us from dealing with trauma.
Coping mechanisms can be anything. It might be a substance, like alcohol or tobacco. It might be an emotional reaction, like withdrawal or volatility. It might be a mindset, like nihilism. It might be a behavior, like cutting. It might even be a person.
If you look closely enough, human beings are made of coping mechanisms.
Right, 18 days down and dusted and all is finally good. #DryJanuary
Trauma is there to protect us from being hurt again. In the extreme case, trauma paints everything outside the “Self” as dangerous and to be avoided. Does that do the job? Yes. Is that accurate? No.
Our minds use stress to get us to avoid things that might cause more trauma.
I have this friend I went to war with. He was telling me about this realization he had while on acid. He could look inside his chest, where his heart was supposed to be and in that place there was a hand grenade with the pin pulled.
@GillianCanWrite Thank you. I might need to try this if medication shortages continue
Don’t fool yourself for a second: No one escapes childhood without trauma. There is no unsullied person with a perfect family, an idyllic childhood, and a cushy ride through life. Trauma is built into the system.
@GillianCanWrite @Theholisticpsyc Gabor Mate spells this out exactly
After my second deployment to Iraq, PTSD almost killed me. Over the last 10 years, I've learned a lot about living with it. But I've also gotten a lot wrong... Here are 3 of them 🧵
If you think you can't heal from PTSD, read this... Someone said this to me recently - "You don't heal from PTSD." And they said it so matter-of-factly that I just kind of nodded. And then I thought about it and I realized that's bullshit. Here's why...
