Depression Delusion: an introduction by the author, Terry Lynch, MD

By Terry Lynch, MD -- I know people can recover fully having received diagnoses of depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, OCD, eating disorders and borderline personality disorder. I know because I have seen this, both in my work, and through contact with people over many years. Full recovery is possible. Hard work, but possible. The common medical response to recovery – that it must have been a misdiagnosis and the person never actually had that condition – does not suffice. The people I am talking about met all the medical criteria for these psychiatric labels. Psychiatry is the only medical specialty where the mindset does not routinely include aiming for the best possible outcomes. … [click on title to read and view more]

A prescription that works: Nature Rx

Nature has kept me alive and given me hope. Over and over again. It's too bad this is considered a joke because it's very serious. People are dying (literally and/or spiritually) because we are largely cut off from our understanding of who we are. We are members of a community of many diverse species on a planet bursting with yet more life. We are all connected and we need it all. We must remember that we are just one bit of the web of life. Still...go ahead and enjoy the video...I did. … [click on title for the rest of the post]

Marijuana for Mental Health Conditions?

Did I get enough love?

By Elaine Mansfield -- "As soon as you begin to ask the question, Who loves me? You are completely screwed, Because the next question is How Much?" Tony Hoagland -- And after that, Does he love me still? and Does he love me even though he’s dead? And then, When do I stop feeling married to a person who is no longer here? and Why do I feel lonely in a room full of people because he’s not smiling from across the room? … [click on title for the rest of the post]

Lessons the rejected shadow child learned in the Catholic church that she hated

TI always heard and sang these two hymns accompanied by an organ in church. I recently have found great delight in hearing them sung with contemporary instrumentation as they are in these youtube videos. Let your rejected shadow child listen. ...

How can I get to know myself?

"How can I get to know myself? Not by thinking, for thinking only reflects my conscious being, but by meditating. Meditation goes beyond the conscious mind into the unconscious. In meditation I can become aware of the ground of my being in matter, in life, in human consciousness. I can experience my solidarity with the universe, with the remotest star in outer space and with the minutest particle in the atom. I can experience my solidarity with every living thing, with the earth with these flowers and coconut trees, with the birds and squirrels, with every human being. I can get beyond all these outer forms of things in time and space and discover the Ground from which they all spring. I can know (...) the Origin, the Source, beyond being and non-being, the One 'without a second'. I can know the birth of all things from this Ground, their coming into being in the Word." … [click on title for the rest of the post]
