Let’s go crazy…

photo of prince on stage, with Let's go crazy on the graphic

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. Crazy is a necessity if one is to become free. We need to provide safe places for folks to move through it. It is not what psychiatry tells us it is. Not at all. ...

Justice for those harmed by psychiatry…

water droplets in a spiders web 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)…

Trauma and the body

trauma and the body people that resemble ink splots

Trauma that is held in the body over time freezes…the healing process requires defrosting…it can be painful…physically and emotionally. There is no separation between body and mind. The body is mind, the mind is body.

On trauma and madness in mental health services

BY Noël Hunter ~~ On trauma and madness in mental health services Each day the news appears to top itself with stories of the various ways in which we, as humans, suffer and cause suffering. There are endless tales of abuse, racism, violence, gaslighting from those in the highest of powers, oppression, and injustice that challenge the lengths to which our minds and bodies can cope. What happens when people seek out help for their suffering? How do people heal from the atrocities that life throws our way? ...

Trilogy of the shadow child (parts)

Trilogy of the shadow child (parts) ~~ This poem was written in three parts in consecutive order over time. They represent a journey through time and psyche both.

This was written in three parts in consecutive order over time. I thought they should all appear together in one place as they represent a journey through time and psyche both.  ...  Trauma causes splits in the psyche. Working with parts or subpersonalities is one of the ways of healing such splits.

Chronic illness

My "chronically ill" body rewards my gentle persistent attentions with never-ending insights into the nature of being an embodied human. Healing is alchemy and it never ends. The sensitive body holds the entire world's pain, trauma, joy and madness within it. And yes, the suggestion is that most of us are not embodied. The conditioned self is disembodied. Coming to embodiment can be very painful.

“PTSD” is not a disorder…it’s seeing beyond the veil and being horrified by what we see

When the horror of what the human condition really is becomes obvious (a brutally brainwashed majority that brutally harms one another) ... coming into balance with that darkness that is in every one of us takes some time and we also become DANGEROUS to the status quo, so while we are learning to integrate and contain this knowledge we become additionally vulnerable and at risk for harm. ...

Healing the brain/body/mind from trauma and psych drug injury

Let us please open our eyes and help one another to see. Right now those in public and sanctioned positions to help us are actually harming us unintentionally. We must bring this to a stop. We must help one another. There is no motivation to heal without drugs if there are no safe places to do it. Right now it's not safe for most people most of the time. This alone will keep people from even attempting to do it or even realize or acknowledge it's possible. It's scary and the fear is justified and even rational given what we face. I am in a rare and privileged and lucky position and I still get frightened too. This is scary stuff. ...
