Part of learning to listen to the body has depended on my employing the witness position of my own experience. That's meant that the below practice of not believing I know anything has been my modus operandi.
Diagnosis and such…
Tardive Dyskinesia
New page with collection of my articles on TD. The link can always be found in the menus at the top of the site.

the rise of coercive treatment in psychiatry and society
I never stop being aware of is how unsafe it is to be vulnerable in this society.

wisdom and foolishness
The cycle breaker, the black sheep, the "mentally ill" and the unstable, the creative, the artist, and the mystic. The throw-aways and the odd balls in society have this calling.
