Stranger *** (inside the psych ward) By Steven Morgan

a psych ward hallway Stranger*** By Steven Morgan

By Steven Morgan - Tonight will be a Haldol night. The newly minted nurse will say, This is going to make you feel better, and I will duly reply, Ok, anything. She will tell me to lean forward over the table and pull up my gown. I will feel cold air crawl like fingers around my torso. She will tell me it’s going to feel like a prick, but only for a moment. I will feel the skin on my ass cinch around the needle. The tranquilizer will swim out the chute in a billowing yellow cloud. She will announce, Good job, jerking back. ....

healing inside….

By Jen Peer Rich -- I am an unrepeatable meal. As I am healing inside through self-inquiry, the more I appreciate the magic and mystery of being a unique being. My spiritual journey is my own, no one can come with me inside here. ...

The Mad Triangle: Trauma, Diversity, Insight

'What we think of as pathology exists in relationship—with ourselves, each other, and our environments. Ideas that psychopathology exists in the vacuum of one’s isolated experience only serves to silence discourse and marginalize divergent experiences'

Love at the The Intersection of Mental Health and Racism

The Intersection of Mental Health and Racism hand hanging on rope

By Chris Cole. The current social climate in the Unites States, in addition to my own spiritual and existential explorations, has me reconsidering the significance of my social location with regards to my recovery. As a white man of profound privilege, I feel a strong conviction that the time has come for me to consistently name privilege, in order to provide greater context and nuance, leading to higher comprehension, understanding, and competency. The more we understand, the more compassion we have, and the better solutions may come out of such clarity. ...

the parts that hurt: email to the man who told me to go see a psychiatrist

So, funnily enough, I did go to a psychiatrist. Someone I met some years ago. He's in the mainstream and well-respected there because he knows how to float between worlds. He's awake. He and I talked about your work some years ago. He was familiar with it and respects it. He's one of the kindest human beings I've ever met. ...

Levels of consciousness: this body/mind

This is a story that emerged last night. It points to the mystery but is not the mystery. We can't really know the mystery: Seems to me there is a sort of access of levels to consciousness this body/mind has. There is the ego which is the least conscious but when in cooperation with body... Continue Reading →

Story telling as means for transformative growth

A status update: Our bodies, in perfect reflection of our psyches, hold our personal mythologies. In this way we are all unique. This is what western medicine does not get. Clinical trials can never capture this. -- Someone took issue with my calling the reflection of our psyches in our bodies “mythology.”

Psychiatry (fueled by western culture) systematically eliminates us so that we cannot contribute to humanity

The capitalistically oriented "healers" and "spiritual" teachers are the pharisees/charlatans of our time. The real shaman/medicine people are being systematically wiped out/disabled by psychiatry. We don't have mentors because our kind have been wiped out for generations now. (think of witch hunts, for example, before psychiatry) There is no one left to recognize us as children...
