Things we don’t talk about — Red tent: the film (for women)

FREE for 24 more hours I'm involved in my local Rent Tent group. I am finding deep healing among several largely non-professional groups in my community. My yoga community is one source, my ecstatic dance community is another, and women's groups including the local Red Tent group is also bringing great light, joy and healing into my life. There are ways to find healing communities that we ourselves create. Every human being can potentially create their own version and it may or may not look anything like mine or anyone else's. I share some of the elements of mine, not so that it can be copied, but so that folks can start imagining how much more is out there besides the medical establishment that is failing so many. Please, if what helps me doesn't strike you as interesting or helpful, trust that your path may look completely different and still be just right. … [click on title to read and view more]

Menopause can be a magical time of growth and transformation (reframing may be necessary)

Menopause just like so much else in our modern life has been pathologized and women have been make to be at war with their own bodies because of this.

Menopausal stuff is becoming more and more an issue in the mix of my coming out of the psychiatric drug withdrawal. I'm 48 years old, but this stuff can start happening to women even in their 30s. A whole lot of women affected with psych drug withdrawal issues are also dealing with menopausal (and peri-menopausal) issues. It's a very common theme on the withdrawal boards. People try hormones to mitigate the phenomena and sometimes feel comfortable on them but more often those of us with sensitized nervous systems don't do well adding any sort of hormones, included bio-identical ones. … [click on title to read and view more]

Orgasm Inc.

This documentary film is a great intro to how pharma works for people who are not otherwise affected by its deviousness. This film documents what is an attempt to make EVERY woman feel like she is not enough and therefore needs a drug. This is done via disease mongering -- the creation of disease where there may not be one at all. It's something that happens in all of "medicine" for the express purpose of selling pharmaceuticals. It's rampant in psychiatry.

Women in the media (this effects our mental health too! That of men and women both!)

The film Miss Representation exposes how American youth are being sold the concept that women and girls’ value lies in their youth, beauty and sexuality. It’s time to break that cycle of mistruths.
