Hate and love are two sides of the same coin...PASSION holding them as ONE. Oh, yes. Love has no opposite. *** In systematically embracing the shadow of humanity we neutralize all demons and become motivated by love. Demons are only denied aspects of ourselves. In embrace they all come into alignment. Practice holding your arms... Continue Reading →
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.
Mindfulness / Meditation, Complex Trauma: Rewards and Risks
What media hype and those selling mindfulness don’t tell you is that mindfulness is a process that can radically transform you, and it’s not always safe, nor is it easy or straightforward. We make it safer by being aware of the risks and learning to listen to our own bodies about when it is or isn’t okay for us. No one else actually knows.
Let’s go crazy…
I never gave up on the good that was emerging in all that confusion that was labeled and pathologized by psychiatry. I was trying to emerge from the ugly conditioned toxicity of our society. And yeah, that's hard work, especially for traumatized sensitives which, if we've been labeled, drugged and institutionalized by psychiatry, we likely are.

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.
On trauma (The Sinner: Netflix)
(Update 2026: I only watched the first season of The Sinner: Netflix. The story is new each season. After the first season, I'd had enough. It's a very heavy series. Still at the time I watched the first season it was the perfect medicine.)
Trauma, injury, illness, waking up
It’s strange how it works, or maybe it’s not, but trauma, injury and illness can truly be passageways to waking up and it’s not generally appreciated at all in western medicine which seeks to suppress everything and thus stop that process. Tragic really.
Meditation on death, impermanence and post traumatic stress
Holding, holding, holding...feel the holding, wrapped up with anger, resistance, fear....FEEL it, feel it, feel it... and let it be...all things pass...recognizing and allowing seems to help it move... When post traumatic stress is leaving the body it brings up all manner of feelings that have been locked in. If I'm not carefully mindful it's... Continue Reading →
Retaining agency while getting care
The catch - 22 I thought about the other day: The mental health system tells clients/patients/consumers that they need better boundaries while expecting them to ignore their boundaries.
