heres my about me

Dissociation is a transdiagnostic process. Most extreme in DID, but central across many severe presentations. Not understanding dissociation in mental health is like a GP not understanding inflammation.

What does your body endure so that you can belong?” or “What would it take for you to live a life your body will love?”' ~ Lissa Rankin

In medicine: 'We screen for depression, but not for the quiet despair of living in a relationship where you cannot be fully yourself. We do not ask, “Who do you have to become in order to stay in your relationships?” We do not ask,

@TobiMidnight This post really rustled their jimmies. wow

Oh dear Lord did I make the Marty fan boys mad or what? Lol I don't like the guy, he made good music but that's the extent of any good he's done. Maybe if he kept his mouth shut he'd be more likable by people who actually have a spine and a real decent father figure.

@GrantHBrennerMD Grant you were gone from my TL for so long, i forgot how much sanity you brought to my feed. Thank u

You can't fix stigma by changing the language used. That can help temporarily and be a marker of a structural shift, but if deeper changes do not accompany name-changes (e.g. diagnostic labels, informal terminology for mental illness, etc.) then the structural changes will assert themselves into the new symbology. The enduring change is more fundamental and is harder to focus on consistently and effectively. The bright shiny object of surface victories is fine, but is not the real deal over longer time scales. #mentalhealth #advocacy #psychiatry #psychotherapy

The Unholy Trinity: Collective Trauma, Dissociation, and Moral Injury—and What Psychoanalysis Might Do About It Two Cities, Then and Now In China Miéville’s novel The City & the City (Miéville, 2010), citizens of two overlapping cities are trained in the art of “unseeing”—inhabiting the same physical space while systematically refusing to perceive what belongs to the other side. It is a radical dissociation elevated to dutiful civic co-existence. In 2017, writing in the wake of the presidential election, American life reminded me of this hyper-Orwellian polity—first in a Psychology Today piece, “The Shakedown of the American Psyche,” (Brenner, 2017) and then more formally in “Considering Collective Moral Injury following the 2016 Election” (Brenner, 2017). The breach was already visible then, and has deepened and spread, like cracks on a windshield. We see and unsee, bifurcating perceived futures into zoomer and doomer visions, missing a third, putative “tuner” option (Brenner, 2026). Rifts have continued to widen and spread across scales—reflected in families, institutions, professions, globally. September 11th was a clawhammer blow to the global system early in the promising 21st century. Historical trauma identities à la Vamik (2001) have since become entrenched. Psychoanalysis itself has a long history of splitting and institutional infighting—Freud’s narcissism of small differences (Freud, 1930) persists as psychoanalysis cannot cure itself, the limits of self-analysis systemically. The question for those of us in the analytic community is live: How do politics come up in our individual consulting rooms, in our institutes, and on our listservs? Many listservs have torn themselves asunder. Full text: manhattanpsychoanalysis.com/blog-post/the-… @minstitutep1 #trauma #dissociation #moralinjury #psychoanalysis

The idea that trauma can lead to growth is a problematic idea in some respects. Trauma and people's responses to trauma are complex and multifactorial, presentations on social media further muddy the waters. We understand that various challenges in life, as well as many of our joys, lead to growth. Also the construct of post-traumatic growth is useful one while also problematic in the sense that there appear to be authentic and illusory experiences of PTG, for example. And the concept can be employed in a way which is overly simplistic and lead to various difficulties that are worth looking into beyond the scope of this tweet — brief, imposed whether by oneself or others. Again this is not to say that it is not useful and does not happen. The reasons the "trauma leads to growth" idea need careful considerations are at least 3 fold: First, because people may confuse that trauma itself leads to growth rather than how people have to respond. Second, because it may on some level fetishize trauma, encouraging people who are so inclined to seek it out in order to experience growth. This may not be fully intentional or conscious. Third, there may be a false conclusion that trauma and growth are correlated. It may be that growth that took place after the trauma was not related.

@arcenciel_vx @Lispy_Dipshit can't stand junkies man, we hid all my cousin's insulin and he started shaking and puking within a few hours, the withdrawals can be brutal but recovery is worth it

Teachers are getting deepfake nudes made of them, and boys are making jokes about raping girls in schools. And the people who are supposed to be raising these children don’t care. They say it’s the teachers’ fault. “Parents have told me if I can’t handle teenage boys then I need to ‘work in a fucking nursery’.” How do we expect to fight the algorithms radicalising them, or the AI technology that makes harassment so easy and disproportionately affects women, if the actual humans caring for these children don’t also act? Downstream of this are censorious laws like the Online Safety Act, if parents abdicate responsibility to the state. If these are the sons being raised, the fathers should be ashamed.
