This bodymind named Ingrid has so much to say…and what seeks expression is not just for the sake of my own healing, but to serve as a beacon for anyone on a similar path, who needs to know they are not alone. Mine is a path of emerging from profound trauma, adversity, and lack, and of living in the world as highly sensitive, gifted, neurodiverse, and spiritually awakening. We are the people who so often find ourselves in the offices of professional helpers…and I will write for them, too, as it is imperative that those who would presume to walk with us, understand what actually helps…and be willing to challenge that which does not…even though this will take them straight into the heart of their own pain....
Resisting-Illegitimate-Authority — By Bruce E. Levine
New book: Bruce Levine has been one of my very favorite authors in the world of critical psych for a long time. He's got a great new book available now. I highly recommend it. This article includes a link to a free PDF excerpt of the book. ....
Eugenics history of psychiatry : our bodies feel it
Eugenics history of psychiary. ~~ Part of what those of us injured by psychiatry are dealing with is the cellular knowledge that this history is in our very nervous systems via psychiatric institution, it's proponents and the drugs used to suppress our beautiful sensitive human natures. We are not insane -- we are however subject to the harm that has been perpetrated against us.
Justice for those harmed by psychiatry…
Update 2025: a lot of people are at risk now. it’s time for intersectionality and looking outside the tribe. we gotta get bigger than the oppressive forces … we do that by recognizing all forms of oppression and how they affect everyone differently. (and so we seek justice for those harmed by psychiatry and everyone else who is being marginalized)…
The biggest issue we face: #WorldMentalHealthDay
The biggest problem in mental health treatment is the idea that anybody need be treated at all. What people really need is a safe space to be who and what they are. Once people are in a safe place they simply need to be supported in trusting their own process. ...

Mourning, loss and vision
Does the mourning ever end? Of course not silly, one loses more and more before the end of life. Mourning and loss are the natural order of things. I suffered from delusional optimism for many years in order to survive. There is no shame in that and I did it elegantly at times.
Psych drugs harm. Let’s get high profile MDs and celebrities – spreading the message
There are quite a few relatively mainstream doctors now talking about the harms of benzodiazepines and anti-depressants on social media. As usual other psychiatric drugs (neuroleptics, anti-convulsants, -- called anti-psychotics and mood stabilizers, etc) are given short shrift. This is about informed consent. If people don't know about the very serious potential risks involved in... Continue Reading →
Psychiatric abuse is like domestic violence…
Once the sensitive becomes aware and conscious of the coercion it ceases to be subtle...it becomes obvious blatant violence against the soul of humanity and that is when things get really tricky. How to escape the abuse? When all of society is telling you you need it? Psychiatric abuse is very much like domestic violence except with domestic violence there is large sectors of society now that that acknowledge it's very real... ...
Suicidal thoughts are treated like a crime
so REALLY?? they tell us to be sure to ask for help. What do we do when there is no safe "help" available? Until we are, as a society, willing to answer that question people will continue to die without being offered a chance to share and thus process their pain. Calling 988 the current number for suicide hotline is also unsafe. Suicidal thoughts are treated like a crime. They will report you and send out cops to your home. Rob Wipond is writing a lot about this these days (2025). A system that criminalizes pain rather than supporting that person with love is sick.
