.. is that we reflect too much on how to fix ourselves, what’s wrong with us, and get stuck into the rigidity of pathologizing rather than just going out and doing the thing.

I get it, I experience extreme terror from abuse, a prior stroke and complex PTSD from health matters.

But I’ve spent so long trying to figure out “what’s wrong with me”.. rather than simply going out to enjoy what we’re here for.

To play.

Will I be downvoted to oblivion, or is this a fair call?

We’ve come into the most intellectually self aware era of recent times, and simultaneously the most divorced from our bodies and our nature. We sit and learn about why things function rather than experiencing the function itself.

I gotta say, I’m tired of the rigidity of modern society and its rubbish outdated diagnostic framework and constant self improvement mindset.

Just be.

Just wondering what other symptoms people have.

As well as emotionally. I know my anxiety is definitely largely pots related. Wondering what cognitive issues others experience

Thanks

Hi all

Self admitting to inpatient and totally terrified, anxiety is horrific. But in a state far beyond capacity for self care.

Has anyone had any experiences and willing to share?

Thanks

Is it hard seeing a long term client who once struggled with pretty straightforward social anxiety, to suddenly degrade quite quickly with complex issues?

Is it any different to a new client?

How do you handle the matter if they’re requesting autonomy? (I.E. avoidance of forced admission)
