‘I don’t think it’s radical at all. I think this is common sense. Humans don’t suddenly develop mental illnesses and disorders when they are struggling. They are simply responding to the extreme stress they are put under. Some people have panic attacks, some people sleep more, some people stop eating, some people feel suicidal.’
This is so true! Even just visualizing, or taking into account the idea of many tangible things like a structure or building… when something is under extreme pressure, or force by anything what quite naturally happens? It bends, breaks or gets downtrodden by the weight of said load, or loads. You know women are the absolute shit because we been knew this. From the U S A I appreciate you and thank you as always for your work. It’s must be reiterated and reinforced. Surely, it is needed even more than EVER!
Best thing i have read in ages. My daughter is on tablets (after me refusing for a long time) Do i need them? No, i do not! I am sad, angry, terrified not depressed. Situational depression is what i have! My situation will change.
My background isn’t clinical so I can’t offer fair comparison but I have witnessed the power of trauma-informed somatic practices in helping people feel empowered to make choices and cultivate a sense of safety again. So often the simplest act of holding a safe environment as “an empathic witness” (as Peter Levine says) as people notice their nervous system response as a natural process is HUGE.
This has been something on my mind lately and I am re-reading this common sense “radical” perspective again

This makes for fascinating reading - thank you.

I agree, however, what of longer term issues?
Life long funk, disengaging personalities walking through life with a limp.?
